Apex Alpha Ultra

[Slo Ryd]

The Apex Alpha Ultra is the middle size device. While not much larger than the UltraLite, length without atomizer or drip tip 74.75mm (2.94”) and diameter of 19mm (0.75”), the Ultra is the perfect compromise of size and performance. It has the option to run two different batteries. The first, the IMR 14500 High Drain 3.7v and the second, the 14500 Protected Li-Ion 3.7v.

If you already have atomizers, batteries, and a charger, and want to upgrade to an Alpha Electronic Cigarette, the Alpha Base Unit is all you need to get started. The Alpha Ultra Base Unit includes an Alpha Ultra Main Body, Alpha Ultra Battery Sleeve, Alpha Ultra Switch Assembly, and Alpha Ultra Atomizer Interface.

The Alpha Ultra base unit is $114.99. But all of you on the forum can take advantage of our awesome 20% discount. Here’s how it breaks down:

Nice, please keep posted on your first impressions when you get it!

If I get the unit with the RES, am I able to use it without the RES from time to time? Or would I need to get one of each?

All you need is the standard atomizer interface. We sell it by itself under alpha "parts and accessories."

Cheers!

Patiently awaiting my Ultra on delivery for tomorrow. Real quick, I can't remember - could I use 2 rcr123's with a standard atty for 6v vaping? Or is that only for the ultramax? Thanks, Alex

Just the UltraMax can run the RCR123's. We are working on sourcing LiFePO 14250's so the Ultra can be run at 6V. Stay tuned... we hope to have a supplier for those soon!

ah, cool. I didn't really even think about that option until now. I don't really plan on doing 6v, but having options is nice. I have a bunch of standard attys. Thanks SH!

 

[SleepHater]

Hope to have the 6V option as soon as possible, I prefer the Ultra at 3.7V as well, but options are are always nice.

Cheers,

SH, when charging these 14500's on the included ultrafire charger - should I use the 300mah or 650mah setting?

You want to charge it on 300mah. The reason is that it gives it a slow charge but a much fuller charge. The general rule is whatever your mah is charge it on half of that.

I now see that in the manual... I didn't think to look in there for questions regarding the charger, you guys really did think of everything. The manual is nicely done. Really breaks everything down.

I know the Ultra and 14500 works best with LR atomizers, but I can still use regular ones too can't I? I mentioned I already have a few standards broken in.

Like I mentioned, this is my first real battery operated PV, so still a bit unsure of what these batteries can or can't handle.

You can use either atty. The difference will be in the wattage that each delivers so stating that the 14500 works best with LR (i.e. 1.5Ω) atties is really a matter of personal preference. Wattage is a function of both voltage and resistance (W = V²/R). The higher the wattage, the warmer the vapor. At 3.7V, those that prefer a hotter vape will go with a lower resistance atty/carto, and those that want a cooler vape will choose a higher (standard) resistance atty. I tend to like 7-9 watts so I won't go above 2.0Ω when running at 3.7 volts. Remember that when fully charged, AW batteries output closer to 4.2 volts with a nominal voltage of 3.7V. IMRs are usually able to sustain the 4+ volts longer than their non-high drain counterparts (and that's typically why their capacity is usually rated a bit lower)

Ahh thanks. That helps. This is the only thing I don't like about vaping - I don't know anything about batteries, electricity,wattage. heh-heh I'm going to buy a range of attys for this device to see if I like some over others. I guess a multi-meter would be good to test ohms and charges of batteries and such. Always learning something, but it's fun.

Just and FYI.

I have ordered the production of a couple thousand 14250 (1/2 the size of a AA or 14500) LiFePO 200 mAh 3.2 Volt batteries. Much thanks to atavanhalen for the help in tracking down a supplier (my previous attempt failed when after 2 months the batteries showed up with flat tops!)

This means that the Ultra will be able to run at 6V

So if you like the compact size of the Ultra but like to have the 6V option, not to worry, these batteries should be in stock and on the website in 2 weeks or so.

Cheers,

Sh

Might make the ulta the smallest and lightest 6v mod out there. I can't think of any that compact!

 

[AlDynamite]

sweet. I don't plan on using 6v much, but I'm sure I will pick up some just for kicks.

 

[Wylie]

I'll pick some up, too. You never know when you'll need 'em.
