New Variable Voltage device from smoktech?

[ChrispyCritter]

I just read thru the emss post.

I see alot of " We Think"

That really bother's me that standards, or should I say rules are being created when I read read " We Think"

Not everything is 100% and this is there forum they have a right to any rules they want. I understand this is a popular forum and there rules have "weight" but they still can do it. If people don't like it they don't have to be a part of it. I personally like the fact they are trying to make things safer...

Let's bring this back on track.... There are other areas to talk about emss rules.....

I want one of smok's new vvmax to go along with my all mechanical vz mod....vz vv....and buzz pro

Last I checked this is usa and the smok vvmax is NOT a banned product

The ECF is not a regulatory agency and should not try to act as one. All the flack they gave Notcigs a little while ago was despicable because while Notcigs PVs use stacked batts they also have multiple layers of protection. As long as the VMax has built in protection stacking batts should not be a problem.

Well said......

Does anyone have any idea when a US retailer will the VMax? At $128 it's too high to compete with the Provari (since it's only about $40 more), but if the price point drops to around $75-85 and performs well, then look out!

I don't think advising people about "harm reduction" from smoking or PV use is a bad idea.

I think the statement,
"There is no requirement for any mod manufacturer to have their products comply, at any time - either now or after June 2012."
removes any doubt that they are "forcing" manufacturers to abide by their rules. They are still free to design whatever they wish and sell it to whoever wishes to buy it.

Canvape intends to sell it when it becomes available.

I hope they're at party stores for $55 within a year! Imagine how many people would enjoy vaping if they started with one of these instead of the crappy 401's that fall apart after a month. If they hold up fairly well they'll sell easily and I'm sure Smoktech will be cranking 'em out in quantity!

I read it more as a "Guidline".

"There is no requirement for any mod manufacturer to have their products comply, at any time - either now or after June 2012. However, after that date, we will begin to advise buyers that caution is advisable when buying a metal tube mod, and they may wish to purchase a product that complies with EMSS since ECF considers such mods to be safe."

I do agree that it would be good to have some standards. But then also some testings should be done. I will not consider advise as long they dont put on the table results from testing. Another part of the guidelines is just common sence, and is OK with me.

Well to be honest, any high energy bat could be dangerous, IMR are safer then others, a single is safer then 2 or more stacked.
Then two stacked IMR treated properly, in a device prepaired for that should just work fine withouth any problems IMHO.

Have to agree. Personally I love my lava tube so far. More then enough power.Also got it for next to nothing Brand new

The only problem I have with the LT is you never know for sure what your voltage is under load as the battery depletes it's energy, unless of course you have an inline volt reader. One thing I do like extremely well is if it doesn't feel right you can adjust the voltage up or down with just a couple of clicks.

Lets see if the LT 1.5 will be more consistent. Hope so, have orderd one, together with a Vmax

 

[DJ_Kalee]

Love the Lava Tube but will be getting the Smoktech mod as the amp limit of 2.5 can be a pain.

 

[fsroq]

Lava 1.5 should have 3 or 3.2 amp limit. Smoktechs seems to be a beast for what I have seen.

I thought the lavatube had a built in meter.

There ya go nothing fancy. Just a good honest knob. Really, you won't miss the meter. The knob position tells you what you need to know.

Just Curious... What type of Batteries are you using with it? And at what point does the Output Voltage Drop?

I have an honest knob, and its position does tell me everything I need to know.

Lavatube 1.0 has volt meter, only giving idle voltage, not under load.

Lavatube 1.5 has also Ohm meter.

Vmax has voltage meter idle and under load, and Ohm meter.

My two are using what came with them, AW IMR 18650 1600 mAh. The output volts start dropping the first 1/10 of battery drop. An example is a IKV Mega 510 3ohm carto will vape at 5.9v on a fully charged bat at 4.1v and by the time the bat depletes to 3.3v the output voltage is down to 4.6 dropping incrementally with each 1/10v drop of the battery.

I realize that most don't vape at 6v and if the most one vaped a 3ohm carto at was 4.6v or less then there probably wouldn't be a problem but one would never know for sure without an inline volt reader.

The numbers show this claim from LT to be a joke.

"Regulated output which keeps the voltage the same with each puff - regardless of the remaining battery power. As the battery drains, the device will keep the voltage consistent."
