Any tips on the AVA atomizer? I'm mainly looking for cleaning tips - what's safe, etc. Can I rinse out with water, or PGA/high-proof Vodka?

You can clean it the same way you clean any other atty. I use cheap vodka to clean mine out.

Are there any restrictions like the HH 357 where you can only blow air through the bottom and never through the top? I usually use vodka and a piece of surgical tubing connected to a oral medicine syringe to "power wash" my atties.

No there aren't really any restrictions as far as cleaning it out. The only thing is that there is no hole on the bottom for the alcohol to run out. So the easiest way to clean an AVA is to pour your alcohol in the top, cover it with your finger and shake it a few times, then turn it over and let it run back out the top.

With the Kick kicking in I started to wonder if it usable with UltraMax or some other versions?

No it will not fit the Alpha line......

 

[vaptamist]

It actually fits in the outer tube, but not the inner sleeve. The 17670 so close in size to the 18650 but not quite close enough ;(

 

[Troll from behind]

Such a pity. With the Kick UltraMax would be the perfect setup for someone like me, who is getting tired with the qualifity of current cartos.
Maybe some upgrades?

N8..... We want a STAINLESS STEEL Ultramax that can take a 18650/18490 Kicked........... Help us out!

Try sticking an oring on your atty just above the res. that'll help stiffen up the draw and create more vacuum which will help feeding. Works best if you have an AVA and wedge it between the lip of the atty and res.

Sneaker do you have an AVA with the lips ? Or one that looks like a regular atty on top ?

Well let m chime in.. I love y Ultramax, however I gone through 2 of the atomizer adapters. When i had them warrantee the first one the sent me a note saying they would no longer honor their ten year guarantee. Really upset me bought i thought it was a fluke that the threads stripped. Told me they never heard of such a thing. I have just about every device I can get my hands on to. I have never had threads strip on any of them. Even the cheapest ones don't have this problem. Seems to me that there is a defect in the product/design. I originally recommended the Ultramax to everyone of my friends but now I am starting to worry that I am be bit in the .... Now that I have two stripped there is no way in hell that I would buy another.

As for the threads on the res. Really never have had any problems with them as I just put it together and hardly ever take it apart.

There is a flaw. I was told the same thing. I replaced to tops at my cost. never again. Ande and the others singing its praises is fine and I'm glad they "love" it, but they are using the attomizer piece that you fill. they are not using straight cartomizers. Of course it performed good when brand new even though I thought the slide was piss poor.

After talking to innovapor they weren't going to cover the stripped threads. Like I'm a newbie. I threw it in my basket with other failed mods. It is what it is....For those that love it ..thats great, but if your buying it for cartomizer use only..think twice.....its one of the poorest designed tops I've every encountered followed with the worse customer service I've ever encountered. actually innovapor is just selling it for Apex.

I see that the manufactures of the Alpha (Thermovape-AKA Apex) is comimg out with a new device...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highest Grade Materials.... The below post is from Thermovapes website:



Thermo-Essence Technologies uses only the highest grade USA made materials available. The ThermoVape is formed in stabilized structural ceramic and your choice of Stainless steel or Grade 2 Titanium.,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does this mean a new Mod will also be availanle at Innovapor, one that is made from Stainless stell or Titanium? Looks like they are finally getting away from the soft aluminum with the threads that strip and the switch that leaks.... Its about time!

Sadly RES has been outdated by devices, that work better and are cheaper.
So this might be a bit too little way too late.
