This is why it is better to use the vary watage on there they say that is more acurate or do like we all do anyhow set to your liking thats whats important.

Once you find what your "sweet spots" are in terms of set voltage for each individual juice that you have (and do keep track), you'll have a better idea of what resistance cartomizer or atomizer to order for future use.
Most fruit flavors tend to do better with normal or even lower voltage numbers. Tobacco and coffee flavors seem to taste better in the higher voltage range. Your own experience may vary.
If you find you are not vaping any higher than say 4.4v, a 2.0 ohm carto might work best. Higher than that, a 2.5 ohm or higher resistance would probably be better. Just from my experience.
There's differences in cartomizers, too. I've not cared much for Boges, but when I ordered mine it happened to be around the beginning of Boge-gate and their quality control issues. I started with Smoktech dual coils and for a long time ordered those simply because they were what had come with the tanks. I decided to try single coil Smokteks single coils with pre-drilled holes, and pretty much love them. Single coils provide me with the same vapor and flavor the dual coils did, but don't drain my batteries as bad. Not as much throat hit and not as warm, but I prefer a cooler, milder vape.
Single Coil XL Tank Cartomizer for the SmokTank XL
For those reasons, I've found that I don't care for dual coils. To me, they were a great idea that just did't pan out. I think Smoktech is benefiting from a lot of unknowing customers by promoting the dual coils and putting them in their new tanks. It seems there are a lot of people who have switched to the single coils once they have tried them.
Having said that about cartomizers, I probably would not like the V-max with its tendancy to produce higher voltage than it is set for for the same reasons.

I'm relearning the "conventional votage/(wattage) to resistance (ohms) ratio"... with my HH357's and Hybrid atomizers, which imo are the best flavor (and great vapor too) short of being the best wick/coil builder (RBA). They are working best (especially the HH357's) with higher than what I used to refer to:
What used to be for most, was LR with your "3.7" PV up to 2.4 Ohms... and in the days before VV, even 3.0 Ohms was considered SR, and for your conventional "3.7" (true voltage about 3.4v).... Sorry haven't learned the wattage corresponding to voltage yet...
Why was my 1.5 Ohm 357 not consistent on my eGo batt? Not enough power... so after months of being held back by caution, I slap them on my Vmax at 3.0 setting.... instant grat!
Same for my Aero and Vapage "shifu" spec hybrid slant coil 1.5 and 2.0 Ohms....
* the "3.7" PV's will still work with 1.5 Ohm for sure, but they can get inconsistent, depending on juice, how much juice, batt charge and such.
My new Smok Tech motto; NO FEAR...
I guess the advent of DC has cured a lot of folks of being too cautious.... and I up the volts on my other VV's too.

That's true for the Vmax. With the Zmax it's easier to go by the watts. Find the watts you like, it will adjust the volts. So yes, the voltage may be higher than set, but when you find the watt setting you like then vape at that. It's about finding the power you like through the watts - which won't be accurate in terms of the setting, but on a 18650 will remain consistent at what you set it. You don't have to fiddle about with changing cartos, tanks to change voltage. It will adjust the volts according to the watts and resistance itself.
Do you need any kind of adapter to use with the ViVi Nova tanks?
No adapter needed. I use 3.5ml Vision vivi novas fine with the Zmax. Just don't screw them down really tight - you don't want to push the centre pin down.
