Plenty of specs on the VMax came available over the weekend.

there is the specs
Features:
VMax can be adjusted from 3.0-6.0V volts in 0.1 volt increments.
Built-in three digit display allows you to visually adjust your voltage.
VMax holds two specially designed 18350 High Power batteries.
VMax is made of brass painted with black/silver.
VMax PCB allows 5 Amperage output limit.
VMax buttom never get stucked which flexble 360° turnning aroun

I don't see any indication the display is for anything but, voltage. I use a multimeter. You shouldn't need to ohm an atty all that often.
I have a few different ohm carto's sitting on my table with different juices in them cause I cannot seem to find a juice I like consistently.Sometimes I cannot remember which carto is which as far as resistance.
Newbish question: I've not learned to rock and roll the ohms and volts and amps yet. My question about this device is: at 5 amps, is it able to provide full voltage to dual coil cartos? From what I understand, others, like Lavatube, drop the voltage on dual coils? Thx in advance...
Yes, they should be able to provide full voltage.
I think the lavatube has a 2.5A cuttoff (or maybe less, don't know for sure)
BTW GotVapes announced this PV to be in their store (but don't know when)
Ahh...NICE. I'm a two-week old vaper, but am eyeing mods LOL. VV appears to be the way to go, as I keep hearing people talk about the voltage "sweet spot". I have an eGo right now, and for that I am primarily using dual coils. Thanks for the heads up on GotVapes! Also, vapingzone has it available to add to wishlist at $128 (it looks like SmokTech has fixed the price there for resellers). Thanks again for the info FreeK! So far, it's looking promising!
You can use this Ohm's Law Calculator to find out. In theory, at 5A you can run 7.5V to a 1.5 ohm DC. I haven't looked but, that's probably more than the batteries can deliver. It's plenty for anything you can put on there right now.
Looks like a nice device, but I think I'll stick with my Provari since it has only ONE battery. I've read too many warnings to NOT use 2 batteries.
This is from the link in the OP's post.

Notice:
The market guided price of Vmax is$128.0/pc,we won't provide it to client who sells it less than $128.0,please kindly pay attention to it!
---
And a Provari is selling right now for $159.95
When something like these two items are that close in price, I would rather spend a tad more and buy a product from a US company providing US jobs.

I didn't notice that it used Stacked Batteries. Thanks for posting that.
I don't want a Stacked Battery Mod.
Plus the provari has a great reputation already. Might as well spend the few extra bucks. You know it'll go for atleast $130-$140 in order for the seller to make a profit.
Agree stacked and no slots/ pressure relief holes is a HUGE no no. Also doesn't meet proposed EMSS standards due June 12, 2012.

Always had the utmost respect for SmokTech products until now.

Well, I'm a 3 weeks old vaper
I also have an ego battery. If I had this experience that I have now I would've definitely ordered a Lavatube and skip the whole ego-t system.But I'm constantly searching the web for mods. Maybe there is something cool for a reasonable price.
I seriously doubt it's the same innards since it's a step down regulator instead of the booster circuit. It takes 2 batteries so 3.2 - 4.2 volts per battery delivers 6.4 volt to 8.4 volts , unregulated. Since it's 3-6 volts on the spec it has to be regulated, stepped down, to provide a constant voltage.
Provari uses a booster circuit to boost the voltage up to whatever you set it for. Totally different.
And I doubt it does the , over 4.2 volts on just the single battery alone. So it really needs the stacked batteries. And as others have mentioned that where most of the explosions have occurred. Not having slots just makes it a ticking time bomb.
Given those two things I thing Smok dropped the ball on this one.
