The FIRST VV PV that plays tones for you too?!!! LMAO
It seems so! lolololol.The FIRST VV PV that plays tones for you too?!!! LMAO
Yes it is PWM indeed, it has the same shape as the 1.0 version, but inside it is completely diferent, other booster, other suporting electronics.
The producer better would have given it another shape and name. Hope you can put your hands at one soon.
Yes it is PWM, I got 1 a month ago and have been testing it since. So far preliminary testing shows with a 6 volt output setting it has a SOLID 4.8 - 5.3 output with a Smoketech 1.5 ohm Dual Coil. Thats pretty good considering the V1 LT could barely get a 3.45 output with the same Dual Coil carto. And your right,it does perform MUCH BETTER. With the added functions and a 3.2 amp limit it's a pretty nice device for the money. I haven't seen it really drop below .3 volts on any voltage setting until around 5.6 and up. But these are preliminary tests with a AW IMR 2000maH battery which claims to have 10 amps of sustained current output which is incredible,the old 1600maH AW IMR did not have that same amperage output. The internals of this is completely different than the LRider version. I have 2 units,1 that I completely dismantled, and 1 for use and rigorous testing. I have to admit,not a bad little device,and pretty cost effective for what you get. I could see these going for $60-$65 (tube only) and $85-$90 for the full kits in the U.S. market......BUT THE VMAX STILL BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER !!!!! lol...lol......I love my CHROME VMAX, my black VMAX will be here monday !!!!!!

I'm not sure I would consider that to be very good, just considering that almost any $35 to $60 USD VV plastic box mod can run a 1.5 ohm dual coils at 5.8 to 6.0v when set to 6.0v with appropriate batteries installed. But, then I'm not so sure I need to run a 1.5 ohm DC much above 5.0v any more. I had a couple of juices that held up well in the 6.0v range a few months ago, but I don't use them. Plus, I have re-thought operating at or above 4 amps.
Yeah but, the Provari can't.
And I think reading the entire post it kinda does just that. And clearly going from a 2.5 amp limit to a now 3.2 amp,its obviously going to be a more SOLID device. But I guess if you dont have 1, theirs no way you could see or understand what Im talking about. It's ok though, I've got the testing equipment to show me the difference between the 2 units.
FYI,the lavatube v1.5 has a 3.2 amp limit, not 5 amp....thats the VMAX.
No doubt. Neither can the BP or my VVPV since they top out at 5.6v. - None of those devices are supposed to though. Their makers decided on some limits. And the supposed 5 amp limit (which is a whole separate set of concerns) should be able to accomplish the task.
My real concern with the statement was that when set to 6.0v, it might output 4.8 or as much as 5.3. Half a volt difference at the same setting with the same carto isn't what I would characterize as "solid" as the person who made the statement did.
VAPNJ350. I appreciate reading your threads regarding the Smoktech VMax, but let's keep things in perspective.
It appears that your VMax is not exactly the same model VMax that has appeared in Europe or Asia. The finish is different, the tube is different, the LED display is different and for all we know the electronics may not be the same.
Add to that the fact that the mass-produced VMax models sent to North American retailers may differ from the European and Asian models we see reported today.
If I trust my intuition, I'd say that your VMax has the same electronics that will appear for sale in the US, but not the same LED display, tube or finish. I suspect Smoktech will be very particular with the batteries they sell with the VMax kits at full price.
Let's take your information for what it is. You have an early (test) production run example of VMax. It gives us all an important and valuable clue into what the VMax may be when it is sold in the US, but it's not the same thing.
Ok, I can respect that . So I'll have my black VMAX monday....the same model that WILL sell in the U.S. Would you like me to tell my test findings on that one also, so we can be sure exactly what to expect ? Im thinking the only difference is the blue to red led display,which in no way can change the performance of the actual device. The black unit will be on my test bench all day going thru the sequence. I've got all the data recorded from the chrome unit,I guess it will be pretty intresting to see if they match up toe to toe.......hey if they do ....you buyin ?
Actually the BP tops out at 5.3V. I notice that you don't mention where the Provari tops out. It's 4.7V. The cheaper mods with linear regulators can do better than both. You pay for it with battery life.
To be honest, assuming this mod performs to specs. it's limited by the batteries capabilities and whatever protection is in place for the batteries. Given that there are not really any other limits in place the battery protection gets really important.
I've never cared much about meters. A good honest knob is all you really need.
Cool. Yes, because you seem to be interested in the details I would like to see the results of your evaluation of the black VMax. Please pass along any information regarding the batteries that Smoktech will include with the kit and how many?Ok, I can respect that .

By the way..my previous post was about the Lavatube V1.5 that I just received and tested, not the VMAX.
What are you doing with the results of your testing? Sending them back to China, or are you doing your own review, or planning on selling them?
I'd definitely be curious to see the data you recorded from the chrome unit you have, and any data you get from the black model "going thru the sequence". Why not share some actual empirical data? I'm sure many here are interested.[.
I dont do you tube reviews, my career with Hewlett Packard keeps me too busy. I do the tests for myslf 1st and foremost,just for the fact of wanting to know the true numbers. Then I will share what I found out about the unit with a particular vendor who wants to carry it but before putting in the order for them they want to know if it's a good investment. And last since Smoketech did send me the 1st unit I am expected to let them know what I personally thought of it and my data findings. I have no clue what you mean by selling it.....selling what. I have a great career that I make my money at,I dont understand what I would sell in this conversation. I think I missed something somewhere. As far as sharing data here.... I try to just keep it simple and tell my "opinion" of the device as backed by testing. And even doing that much Im still catching a little slack from members, but its to be expected on ecf I guess, my skins pretty thick, and really if they spend the money to get the VMAX I know they'll see exactly what I was talking about .
