Has anybody managed to get the ultramax with Res to work correctly for them? I so really wanted to like this unit but for the last week it has caused me no end of problems, wicking issues burnt attys etc etc. The appearance is very nice and I like the swich and form it just doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
Apex alpha ultramax.

I had some incredibly rough times with mine. I had one of the first Ultra units, and its just now working perfectly for me. When it works, its a wonder. I just ordered an UltraMax. Contact them. His customer service is great and he'll help you get it going.

It takes a while to get it down. There's a happy medium you have to find between burnt hits and spitting liquid in the mouth.
Many vapers just fill the outside of the RES initially (until the liquid doesn't seem to soak in) rather than the 40 drops down the atty. Keep count of your drops. Plus I would prime the atty as well.
dont treat the RES as a "tank" - it's not really designed as such. I have the Ultra and it works fine for me (has got progressively better as the switch has freed up). What I do with my Ultra is stick 10 or so drops down the atty, wait for 30 secs and vape and then repeat that if the vapour drops. I'm using 1.5ohm Cisco 306 atties with a long drip tip. If you overfill you will get spitting, and very short drip tips will cause the same problem. I'm very pleased with my Ultra.
I have the Ultra...I love it !
There really is an art to these...I agree, the RES is not a tank ...
I have found that to avoid that "dry hit" when you know there is liquid, is to suck up a bit on it...pulling liquid into the atty. If I have over filled and it spits..I blow the liquid back in gently...if it gurgles...I "sling" it out...(in a tissue and give it a shake like a thermometer).
I use a 60/40 mix.
Really hope you get comfortable with yours !

I appreciate that the res is not a tank however it's just a question of scale, if someone only vaped 0.5ml a day ( I don't) then the 2ml res is very much a tank but if it's not efficient enough to wick to the atty and that person has to refil it 3 times a day then they are wasting juice aren't they?
I've not had problems with wicking - it could be down to the choice of atomiser?
i've got to try 2 diffrent peoples Alpha's with rez and they worked amazingly imo. like other said the res takes alot of juice. Sometimes you might need a few dry pulls then hit the power. also on new atties and cartos you're gonna need to prime the atties and give the carto some intial juice. I think just like any other mod there is a learning curve. Espicially seems truee to res and juice fed mods.
After filling the res, drip some onto the atty and vape. When you need it refreshed, draw hard once without firing to pull liquid to it. Then fire and draw to get the vapor.
update: the hh357 doesnt work well with the ultramax w/ RES system. just floods itself over and over. plus im using 100%VG. probably try using a regular LR and see what happens.
That doesn't surprise me considering how the HH is meant to be vaped.
