When smoktech asked what to name this device, thought ZMAX was best cause Z being last letter of the alphabet, Should last device one would need it addresses all issue in a stylish design, and a price you won't have to take out a second mortgage on your house or have to drink powdered milk to for 6 months just to own one.

Just purchased a vivi nova 2.5v,,,,,well I was more depressed then impressed, but did discover a few things that would make it an absolute perfect non filler tank, I passed the design ideas on to smoktech rep, so we will see what happens.

You're the man Andrew!

Will the new Gripper be a bit heavier duty with a better battery door (maybe a whole bottom plate?) and (recessed?) eGo style top and a nice button that is not on the top (so that you don't only have to use a thumb)? SS finish would also be nice and not that much more in price since we get SS cartos cheap! They could lose the finger bumps if it cut down on pricing with SS, or just put 3 cutouts for medium to large hands... :)

the 18500s are for the V4L OMG VV. Basically a updated version of the horrible POS Vision TOX. Got it super cheap so I figured to give it a shot. Its supposed to be a updated version 3, so we'll see when it gets here. Also I am looking for a kick for my V4L OMG mod( renamed Bolt ) so with the 2 extensions I got from CCV I could use a 18650 and a kick or just use 1 extension and use a 18500 and a kick. Plus I seem to have gotten the APV collecting bug so who knows what else i will get that I may use them in. Also as you may have seen I am kind of partial to V4L. They are the company to get me off regular cigs, and I love their flavors. But now that I found CCV I plan to get basically everything here, other than my juice. I have nothing to compare the Efest batteries to being that I am new to APVs, but they sure last forever and work great!!

And now it looks like I will be getting some more 18650 Efests. The Efest IMR 18650 2250 sound awesome and yeah I will have to get a few of them too.

Thanks Andrew for all the awesome products. The ZMax looks awesome. More questions for that to come. Just gonna do some searching about it quick first.

EDIT: I hope mentioning another vendor is ok. Sorry if it isn't. Just answering a question. :)


DJ, CCV is an excellent vendor, as you will fully discover. The eFests are my new face battery, and the i4 was an excellent choice in a charger. What are you going to use the 18500's in?

Yeah Wacky Warriors was one of the first in the area, I want to say they started around 85 or earlier. I work with a guy that still plays, and everytime he starts talking about it I want to get a group together for an afternoon. Maybe someday I actually will!

Couple ideas for the zmax. I think a rounded, not beveled edge on the top cap would be more attractive. Also the threading on the bottom cap should be sturdier and the bottom cap should definitely be flat so it can stand up and not wobble like the vmax does. Design issues only imo.

Andrew, As far as the vivi nova goes, what didnt you like about them?? Ive been using it aince version 1 (genuine, not knock offs) and can not ask for a better tank. Maybe I can give you some ideas if I know what issues you have with em? Id like to buy them from ccv, but I frankly dont want them changed from the last 2.5 version, besides only HV atty heads for it. I have 3.2 ohm that all clock in at 3.0 ( not good enuff imo. they need to be in 3.5+ ohms especially for the vmax)

I second Led's ideas about the vv gripper. I like the gripper but don't really like the plastic feel. SS version of VV Gripper would be nice. The ego top would be a bonus. An engraved monkey image on the side and I would buy that as soon as it's available. I'm just thinking aloud here.

Getting my chrome ZMAX tomorrow, put order in for more, only available in chrome, they are waiting on SS materials, will have ego top use either 18650, or 2 18350 with the included ext cap, also my special cartos be here tomorrow. This thing will address all vaping issues in 1 unit,,,, some like stacked battery's and some don't,,no problem,,,, some like variable wattage while some like variable voltage,,,no problem,,,some like ego accessories and some don't,,no problem,,,as you see why when they asked me to pick a name for it I choose Zmax.

ok lets try this again, sorry if it double posts.

Is the Zmax going on your site tomorrow or are you getting one for yourself and your shipment is coming later? If so I will be sitting in front of my computer with my CC in hand waiting. I was really wanting a black one, but i guess now i want chrome...lol. Either way really excited for the Zmax. The changes in this industry in the last year or so have been awesome!!!! Happy I came back to vaping, and so happy i found PBusardo, which in turn lead me to Crystal Clear Vaping!

well order in. Just also noticed you now include a IMR 18650 battery which is awesome. even though i probably wont use it being that i am now a huge fan of the Efest batteries. but i guess i will now have something to compare the Efest to now for IMR's. Also just noticed orders before 1pm CST get shipped same day. I was in at like 1:30, but oh well one more day to wait isnt a huge deal. Cant wait for it to get here!!!
