Mebbe a dumb question, but how do the efest's compare to the AW's? Lotta folks recommend the AW's, but if there is no real difference, then I won't care much.

Going to go out on a limb and say they are better then AW's especially at the higher amp rates and the numbers prove it plus bout 40% cheaper in price and easier to obtain, Jeremy and I were talking the other night,,, like when my resurrectors came out, had to give bout 50 them away to boge Lr users just get try it, funny now more then 75% them are now resurrector users and I got the numbers to prove that,,,bout same with these efest battery's,,,everyone loves AW's as they should because til now they were the best battery on the planet other then new Panasonics,, on the numbers AW's edge the efest til get to higher amp draws,,,say edge they virtually neck and neck, but efest pulls ahead by good margin at 10 amp draws. So for the price and fact getting 15% more mah capacity with efest,, it's a no brainer in my book. Soon we'll have the efest in 2000mah 18650 imr and 14650 imr.

That will be an interesting test head to head with AW 2000 18650

Um, yeah.... I'm very interested in those results myself. And would be ever so grateful if someone who knows batteries would come explain the results if the new efest does prove to be superior (after whatever head to head results are established) to the newer vv vapers in the 'lavatube noob' thread, cause I've been touting the AW and the Panny, and want to make sure I'm suggesting the best possible battery to them. I'm just not well versed enough in batts to explain it competently, I don't think. And I'm with you, Andrew... I've probably given away a good 25-40 resurrectors in last year + to people who haven't tried em, and a HUGE percentage of people switch, so if this battery proves to be along those same lines, that would be a really remarkable thing. Oh, and of course that's assuming the efest fits in the standard fullsize 'lavatube/vtube/vvtube etc' tube. lol Otherwise it'll just confuse them... and me. rofl But my goal over there is to help them avoid costly mistakes that most of us made getting started and get best bang for buck in terms of quality gear etc, so a vastly superior battery with better performance at a much better price... total no brainer. And most of them are coming to ccv for cartos anyway, so one stop hardware shopping is a NICE thing.

Ooh, now THOSE sound seriously interesting, those 3ohm single coil STs! I'll have to try those in tank!

Just ordered the 3 ohm single coil tank style cartos from smoktech 1 punched hole and bottom plated.

Once again reading my mind...

I was just looking around last night for somebody who carried those punched and plated. I just bought a BAM and a Kick and 3.0 will be perfect with it.

Turtle, frankly right out of the box the vmax size is perfect for the hand, ...
...
Thrilled with the vmax so far, and very happy Jeremy recommended it to me so highly. Im actually kinda glad the LT had to go back. This made it worth it.

Excellent review, Buff. Thank you. ;)

In order to make the CCV tube to vmax swap as easy as possible for the people that choose that option made an item rather cool might add:

check it out here: Crystal Clear Vaping
Been thinking about upgrading to a vmax, but I was wondering how it performs with LR atomizers? I know I can stick my Boge LR cartos on there at 3.3-3.5v and have a good vape, just wondering how it works with 1.5 ohm LR atomizers, is the vape too hot? I normally vape 1.5 around 3.7v on the Lavatube 1.5, and that's just about right, also is there's a risk of popping atomizer coils with the high voltage pulses? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm thinking about swapping out for a vmax, just not sure if I want to invest into a new charger (or deal with more spacers on my xtar) and batteries for it, if it's not best suited for all my vaping needs, as the lavatube is my primary device...

Well Im gonna tell you like I tell everyone else. If you use LR cartos/attys and you like them and prefer them then save your money and get a eGo ...or some other 3.7 volt low amperage device. The whole reason for purchasing a V V device is to be able to use the entire range of voltages to adjust for flavoring from 1 to the next. The ""only"" reason LR (low resistance) was even developed and made was to "simulate" a 5 volt vaping experience long before Variable Voltage came onto the scene. After VV came out I personally think they should've stopped making anything low res.(my opinion) To keep from having this exact misconception that so many new green vapers have. With a high amperage, vari volt, high voltage device like the VMAX you really should only ever use a 3.0 ohm single coils or 2ohm and up Dual coils, NOT 2.0 ohm single coils or anything Low Res. To truly use A High Amperage Vari Volt Device and be able to enjoy the full potential of the device use the proper ohm cartos/attys setup and you will enjoy much better without ANY limitations.

Take care Everyone.....J

so would i be better off taking a refund then buying the vmax? Just curious.

51.75+69.00=120.75 (return+upcharge)
new vmax ss=100.50

now if it was 49.00 upcharge (or 50 as stated earlier) that would make more sense. Maybe just an oversight?

my bad suppose to be $49.00 total changing in now sorry bout that



Changed sorry forgot the initial 20.00 which covers to lowest form factor

I take your point and agree with you on most of this, but the main reason I bought my VV mod originally was because one of the juices I vape daily is exceptional on LR at exactly 3.8v....and I want that experience from the first hit to the last. Not 4.1, not 3.4. Until the battery gasps and falls over I get perfect 3.8 every time. Plus I get the added bonus of whipping out Adam's Sin Apple on 3.0 ohm at 5.8v where that juice tastes incredible. A good, high amp VV like the VMax lets you have it both ways, so don't dissuade people from using LR on these babies. The VMax will give both camps a much more consistent vape.

Now, that said, I can't wait to get my Kicked BAM, so I can find the perfect wattage that will serve both vapes without ANY adjustment.

Bliss, I tell you.

Thanks for info, I do appreciate the honest information... I do use a lot of 3 ohm boge single coils, but I don't like to take my lavatube with me to work, I'm an in-home service tech, so I'm constantly driving in the car, and occasionally in some not so nice neighborhoods where my car could get broken into at any moment, not to mention I don't like the idea of 18650 batteries sitting in my car when it gets really hot (or cold) out. So I prefer my Ego-C Twist while on the go, and in my opinion SR cartos are just ok on it. It needs a bit more power to be great (in my opinoin), hence while I still use LR cartos for my on the go vape. And the atty's I stocked up on when I visited Juicy Vapors store, were the LR as that's all they had in stock, and I was tired of popping coils on the cheap $5 ones I was getting online. Next atomizer purchase will probably be an HH and I can get those in higher ohms. But before I spend $20 an atty, I want to make sure I'm not going to pop them in a month like the other ones. I'll probably just stick with switching out for the v2 lavatube. The 1.5 has been working with no problems for me, so why fix what isn't broke.... Again, appreciate your honest insight into the device and whether it would be a compatible device for my current vape needs!
