Any one have any info on the Smok VV?

[VAPNJ350]

I have a VMAX right now that Im testing,ALL chrome with blue

LED readout,I have 2 18350's AW IMR inside and I have to

say this thing is very impressive. Having a degree in electrical

engineering it is quite the powerhouse. It has handled every

carto Ive put on it so far at EVERY VOLTAGE (3-6v) and I've

metered it the whole way up and down. Yes even 1.25 and 1.5

ohm DC's at 6v. It kinda put the fear of god in me at those

voltages from the amount of vapor I was given as I usually am

a 801 fusion 3.2ohm vaper at 4.3-4.6v. So far I am very

surprised at the all out performance of this mod. It is smaller

than a Provari though(diameter) but just a tad.It has a 3.2 or

3.5 amp button that has a great feel to it. The display is not as

nice as the provari but does do its job nicely. Its EXTREMELY

BRIGHT BLUE. It measures battery voltage in real time as you

vape and I've never seen it drop below .2volts no matter what

carto Im using and thats only for a mili-second then it jumps

right back up to the battery voltage total. No it's not a

Provari,nope not a Darwin either,but it probably wont have the

$250-$300 dollar price tag of them either, but I will say, if I

was a Provari or a Darwin, this is the device that I might be

having nightmares about. I haven't seen a E1 code

yet....nothing. It just simply vapes whatever I put on it at

whatever voltage I put to it with no issue. Yes I know that

could be a bad thing but my benchtests so far show this as

SOLID. My opinion. Take care everyone......J

P.S. The VMAX is in my pic just right of center,with blue led lit up,I know its hard to see but if you guys would like a nice pic of it up close just let me know. So far this thing is truly awesome,and I've tried and had them all. Im keepin' this 1 !!!

 

[AaronY]

Cool. Do you have a 3 coil carto? Can it do that at 6v? From the video I got it has 5 holes on the bottom to vent and shows wattages. Is that true? Had some one that was rusty at german tell me the jist. Have a good one.

Where did you buy the ALL CHROME one? I want one in ALL CHROME!

 

[yzer]

Interesting. VAPNJ350, can you put up a photo of your VMax? In the German video the VMax has a red illuminated display. So far the only finishes I've seen listed are black and silver painted (the word paint could mean any of a lot of coatings.) I haven't heard of a chromed version yet.

 

[Freddie]

I'm with YZER! I have been talking with the ONLY vendor here in the US that will be actually selling them and he said that they ONLY come in two colors! Inquiring minds want to know VAPNJ350?

 

[VAPNJ350]

Hang on Ill post a pic now , Just so were clear, this is the new SMOKTECH VMAX VV MOD. No chromes yet. I have the ONLY 1 in the U.S. that I know of. Hang tight..Pic will be next.

 

[VAPNJ350]

This is it folks !!! The VMAX 1st one in the U.S. that Im aware of. And the only chrome one with a bright blue display made so far.

 

[VAPNJ350]

No their is no wattage on the VMAX,it is voltages, and their is "1" vent hole on the bottom cap. The 1st ones released in the U.S. will be black and silver powdercoated from what I understand with small grooves going down the tube. They will have red displays and a clear acrylic button that the led shines thru,not sure what color light under the button but I think red also. Their are 6 menu functions .
1. Voltage up
2.voltage down
3.switch on/off
4.voltage display output of the "2" 18350's put together
5. Decide what display you want the screen to show when fired...atty ohm, selected voltage,or "real time" voltage
6. lighting on/off
Hope this clears up all the hoo roo going around about whats what of the VMAX.
*****These are the functions that mine does whether this will change before publicly released...I HAVE NO IDEA. But I do have the PDF file of the instruction manuel soooo....I think this is it.

Here's a translation of the German website here: Smoktech VMax - VariVolt Akkuträger bestellen | keine Lavatube / EpicStorm -- Shop für elektrische Zigaretten - Vaping Paradise

Our VMax of SMOK is the first variable Akkutäger that his idol, the
ProVari comes closest. The system allows you to high voltage to a
voltage of 6 volts to vapen, which you so true mist and
ensure proper flash! Among the material is made ​​of copper / brass, which
is anodized in different colors. The VMax is also an ohm measurement
on board and a step-down regulator (like the Buzz Pro), the two
batteries in 18 350 controls the voltage down. The reason why two Smoktech 18 350 batteries used is that by the step-down regulator can maintain a long, high and constant voltage as such with only one battery, use a booster needs and the battery

really overpowered to get to high voltage.

This guarantees you the VariVolt of Smoktech a long battery life .
safety standards such as 5 vent holes in the battery end cap, a 10 sec

safety shutdown and an integrated circuit breaker to the on registration
off a too high temperature, the microprocessor, do
VMax very safe. The integrated battery monitoring VMax monitors the actual status of the individual batteries and switches Vari-voltage turn off automatically after one of the battery has reached a critical current condition. This protects the batteries and has an additional positive effect on their durability.



 Note, as with any other electric cigarette that you yourself a angewöhnst proper pulling technique! Always slow and long at the evaporator draw! Otherwise, the evaporator, the liquid is not properly processed and will expire! 

 We deliver Smoktech VMax without battery and charger from. 
 Please remember that if you you have two batteries and a charger extra orders of. The VariVolt works with two batteries 18 350! dringends Please make sure you always have two completely fully charged battery einlegst. Never use a full and half empty batteries!
 Just not mix different manufacturers or different chemical composition! Whenever possible, equally often charged battery in the pair swap! A German detailed manual is included with the battery carrier. We encourage use of IMR or protected using 18 350 batteries!



Functions of the battery carrier SMOK VMax
The VMax operates at a voltage of 3 to 6 volts, which in 0.1 steps 

can be adjusted. Depending on your taste you can see the voltage with only one 

button up or down regulate, as with the ProVari.

The output voltage is factory at 4 volts, so you can pick up slowly
until you feel highly desired voltage has been reached. The VMax has a
three-digit display that you like the current voltage, the resistance of the
used evaporator, the residual voltage of the battery, and also
can display the output voltage check with screwed-evaporator.

The Smoktech VMax shows you also when the batteries become weak, the
Fire button starts at 20% residual voltage to flash slowly and flashes when 

another discharge faster. The battery carrier is well timed and has a
normal 510er evaporator port. To use eGo evaporator can
you take advantage of our optional adapters eGo 510! Smocktech promises the most powerful PCB (printed board circued) worldwide have made ​​to the VV which allows up to 5 amps to regulate. Thus, the VMax superior to the ProVari !

Probably the most information available about it at the moment...

They list the price at 99 Euros = $129.45 US

Thats kinda the same thing Smoktech sent me but all in english along with the pdf file of the instruction manual and specs sheet with technical data. So far it all matches their numbers from all my tests to the letter. Thanks for that translation. So far I love this device. Their right about a few things, 1 being how freggin' powerful it is..."It has the pooowwa"!!!!!!

Cool thanks. Think I was getting clear I was getting that info from some one that barely understood german. Sorry if there was any confusion.

So when will this beast be out for sale?

So when will this beast be out for sale?

Right now. Vaping Zone, and I'm about to pull the trigger on this bad boy.

Smoktech Variable Voltage Mod-VMax Body only - E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank

About it not meeting EMSS - neither, it seems to me, does the ProVari (tube extender - you could use two batteries).

And two batteries stepped down will give far better performance than the single battery of the Provari.

I LOVE stacked batteries (and I love my Woo), and this thing has tons of safety features built into it. Can't wait to rock it.

The provari wouldn't fire if you put two batteries in it, so I don't see how it wouldn't meet the guidelines? Also I was wondering how the performance of stacked batteries is better aside from the higher amp limit?

Think it was best described here over on the other thread by the great FSROQ
"There is a demand for high power mods, and now somebody came and produces it for small money. Within 3 or 4 month this can be bought for 60 or 70$ and others will have to remake there policis of production and prices or will disapaer.

No need to be sceptical, we know for now that a step down regulater gives far better results then a booster. Can be seen at any cheap box mod, madvapes simple vv box mod gives better power then a provari.

Thats the real world withouth all the hype."
questions about it go on for a page or two. But it is interesting info. Hope it helps.

6v with 1.25ohms is 28.8w. Stacked 3.7v batteries provide 7.4v nominal. It would take 4a current with a 98% efficient regulator (not sure that anyone uses one that good) to provide that power. This doesn't square with a 3.2 or 3.5a switch.

Voltage sag and/or bad safeties/design if they are actually exceeding the switch rating by at least 14 - 25%.

Need some independent measurements to see what this pv is actually doing.

 

[AaronY]

Independent measurements would be nice. VAPNJ350 do you mind seeing what wattage you are getting with LR DCC? Thanks

There is a safety fuse that will be going on the market in the next week or so that you can add to any mod for an extra layer of protection. It is a small magnetic fuse that you put on the end of a battery that blows if there is any battery problems that could cause venting. One version is going to give an audible alarm when it detects a problem and blows. I think it is epipemods that designed it but not 100% sure on that. I think it is going to cost 10 and 15 dollars depending on which you buy.

It was shown at the vipe shows over this past week.

This might be good for the people that were worried about the stacked batteries in this mod in several threads here. I know it already has lots of protection built in but I don’t guess a little extra layer can not hurt for the ones worried.

I do think this is starting out at to high of a price to generate a really big interest. I wish it were not a one-button design. But I’m sure I will own one in chrome when they come out if the reviews are good and the price comes down.

I think you are correct sir, and that I was mistaken. The guidelines do state that if a device won't fire with two batteries in it - two 18250's in this case - that it is considered exempt.

There is a safety fuse that will be going on the market in the next week or so that you can add to any mod for an extra layer of protection.

Couldn't hurt, but just wanted to say that it would still do nothing to protect against an internal battery short, so I think the guidelines would still be calling for slots in stacked mods even if they had this fuse in them.

I looked not there. Did you find a link yet? It sounds cool.
