Hi Roman - welcome. I'm in New Zealand myself - good to see an Italian vaper here. Sigelei Zmax is a good mod - did you watch Phil Busardo's review? He really look at everything it does in that. I'll link it in case you didn't see it:
A PBusardo Review - Sigelei Z-Max - YouTube


Wow.. New Zealand.. gorgeous!

Yes, I saw the Busardo's review, but I had very bad experience with "PWM" devices.. I try to explain myself:
Comparing the vape from a device like Provari that outputs a linear dc-signal and a PWM device like the lavatube, the vape is completely different. The vape from a linear dc-signal is much more "full", the vapour is more "creamy"... on the PWM device is like the vapour is much more "airy".. (I don't know if it's clear...)

Since I want something to backup my provari and I already have the lavatube v2 joung june and it not satify at all (infact it sits inside the box...), I was looking from something different that can have an output that can be more linear as possible, but If I looked good also the sigeley use PWM signal (also if more accurate than lava...)

The Zmax uses RMS - so it is calibrated accurately. Different to the lavatube you have. I wouldn't say the PWM is the cause of that much difference - I think its the particular PV you have. The provari has PWM too - and yes, the output is a linear signal. RMS devices don't put out that signal, but in terms of the vape itself I wouldn't say there is any difference. Some people who own both prefer the provari, and some prefer the Zmax.

You are right, they use RMS but if you see the signal in the scope it's a "pulse" signal, variing from 6 volts to 0 volts. The electronic change the time interval from 0 to 6 to give you the voltage you want. Infact, if you set 6v, the signal is completely linear :)

My fear is that this "modulation" can affect the vape. Yes, we talk about milliseconds, but I have the feeling that if the output is pulsing 0v-6v "shots", in some small millisecond the atomizer is "off" and this can in some-how affect the vape. But of course I'm not sure about this, for this I was looking for some one that maybe has the three PVs :)

p.s.
anyway the lava itself is a really not-good device specially if you are used to a provari...
