My Tobeco KF V4 fits nicely on Zmax v5. The order came in from Vapers Teck, safely. I mixed up a 100ml of Polish Peach for the wife. Very nice. Oh Yah, my avatar pictures the quad setups we use and I maintain.
It will be a while before I break into their liter of nic.
It is not only the flat top which I like better but the tube design itself. I think Sigelei was attempting look more like the Provari with the tapered design with vertical lines on the tube
No doubt when the zmax was designed they were aiming to compete with provari. Think about it. Provari is the most successful mod that hasn't been cloned, nor had any direct competition... at least until zmax appeared. That promoted the redesign of provari to crop circles and mini dimples. Zmax took a different course to the flat top. When I bought my zmax's they also came with a one year warrenty, serviced stateside (I think in CA). Again aimed directly at provari with their warrenty. To my knowledge those are the only 2 that have ever offered warrenties. Maybe the Spire.
I'm also a provari fan largely because they never die and company backs them forever. At the time, a provari and carto tank was the only hardware needed to vape successfully if a person was a minimalist. That's probably influenced my vaping choices to this day. If I were to start vaping today, I'd have a helluva time trying to figure out where I fit. Actually, even for intermediate vapers it's a quagmire. I was looking at 316l, 316, 304 wire earlier. Geesh. I just wanna vape.

Oh yea, back then the predominant tank was the 19mm protank which provape also sold on their website. The cerotank and davide were 19mm too. There wasn't a 22mm glass clearo until aerotank mega and nautilus. The viva nova was around but they were plastic and 90% of eliquids cracked them.

No. I completely disagree.
When the Sigelei V3 and V5 flat tops hit the market a 22 to 23 mm XL carto tank was the norm. Most users then were not using the newer and less reliable sub-ohm equipment at the time. I had no trouble finding a 22 mm carto tank from IBTanked at the time. Sub-ohm coils defined the next generation (or degenaration) of vaping. So it goes. Hell, I don't care as long as I don't smoke anymore. The rest doesn't matter to me.

The Peach inawera flavoring went over well. Ordered 50ml more to have on hand for my wife.
I was talking about clearos. I don't know what was going on with cartos. It was right after I started and there were big group buys of protanks since a glass clearo was a big deal at the time. I never got into cartos.

Sooooo tempting!
Yet another variant? Anyone seen a V3 taper with vent holes in the tube?

Never seen that vented tube. One of the pics also shows the ego threads and they look like brass to me. They haven't been made of brass since the 1st Gen V3 unless I'm remembering that wrong. So 'new' vented tube mixed with old style brass Ego threads. I'm confused...
Dan, im thinking possibly there were variations on the Z that may have never made it to the US market,the minor changes,even within the V3 as well as the V5 seem to pop up from time to time, after all the Chinese are the masters of cloning/changing, sometimes by the day
I believe you are right. I was surprised to find two Innokin versions, SVD, 134, produced by Sigelei as well. I wonder if anyone in the company even knows all that has been done.
I like Sigelei Products, but they are certainly not above copying anyone as we've seen , Innokin seems to have more integrity
I wonder if they copied or were producing for other companies and just did rebranded "overruns".
Its anyone's guess in the wild west of the "peoples republic"...........id say both are plausible Dan
I was thinking about China earlier today. Looking at a cat toy and noticed it was made in China.
I chuckled having a thought of the Chinese workers making the cat toy and laughing about those Americans buy toys for something that you eat.
