Ok this is going to be a silly question I presume, but since I am fairly new to all this. When you say ego style tops does that mean I will need to get some type of adapter for my 510 stuff I have. I had to get a 510 to ego adapter for some stuff, so now do I need to get a ego to 510 with these tops?
Thanks

Ego uses a 510 thread so most anything designed to fit an ego battery will fit. Any non ego vaporizer with a 510 thread will also fit. Shouldn't need any adapters unless you to to a 901 or 801 threaded vaporizer.

As of now nothing internally has changed in the VMAX since the V2 release.

- New button thats solid like a rock....no rattle...no wiggle....perfect feel
- 3 volt startup
- more accurate voltage settings (although I feel very little difference)
- The red number display can be turned off when firing.

As of now any changes are pretty much aesthetics.

Hope that helps ya.

Thanks for the reply. Will the SS vmax model be different than say the gun metal or any of the other colors or will they all be the same. I am planning on ordering one from you. Do I need also to buy the magnets for the batteries or will they be button top batteries.
Thanks again

If you just buy vmax i send with nipple tops, but if you buy extra set of battery's i send a set of flat tops(I include an earth magnet) along with nipple tops, reason behind this most people don't know you should never mix up battery's, this way got set of each, hard to mix that way, sure there are those that will, but I think this was a good idea, if you order 2 extra sets you'll get 2 sets of nipple tops and 1 set flats with earth magnet. Hope this clarifies this.

Hey cmdr, thanks for the sale. Had to pick up a few more eFests for the Vmax. Any updates on the 18650s?
Ordering 18650 2000mah efest nipple tops tonight, but the IMR 18650 nipple tops we got now aren't no slouch by a long shot, that actually last bout same as my AW 2000 mah, maybe a tad longer.

Yea that clears it up. I am just waiting on your order. I always mark my batteries with masking tape so to keep them paired up. That is really a good idea though so people won't mix them up. Could I request all nipple tops?

Sure if you like, not a problem.

Hey guys,

Been using my VMax for a few weeks now, and loving it until I ran into a problem the other day (Friday). It was in my pocket during a movie, and when I got out, it was no longer working.

When I connect any 510 cartos (tank, resurrector, Boge), and press the button, it doesn't activate. I get the blue button as if it's firing, but no connection, vapor, etc. The only thing I can think of is that the tank I had connected did something to the threading - when I got the tank (pic attached) off it seemed like there was almost an extra part on the bottom of the carto threading.

There were no drops or anything before this happened.

Any thoughts? Am I screwed? Bummed out....

Using a Chibi tank mod with Boge 3.0s when it happened. Also attaching a photo of the VMAX and the threading, although it doesn't show very well.

For all those trying to claim I'm shipping fake boges,just cause the condoms aren't like you remember them or the quality seems less then stellar, believe me I order 10's of thousands of cartos a month from from both smoctech and boge, You can bet the farm on this that they are the genuine article from these 2 company's.

On a side note about the resent quality issues from both company's, I think issue stems from bad batch of nichrome wire, sure both company's get it from same place, only thing explain the harsh, lack of flavor, dry hit, burning taste, seems to have affected both company's at same time, because I don't believe it's a coincidence that both company having same exact manufacturing issues, because from taring them apart and comparing a good one from a batch many months ago to a carto from recent order there are identical inside each part inside is same distance from each other so, only logical thing makes sense is a bad batch of nichrome.

Shame on anyone claiming that. It is WIDELY known that Boge cartos used to come with one long, and one short condom that fit very tightly, and Boge has now switched to two short, loose fitting condoms. Anyone who has said or implied that owes Andrew an apology.

But don't believe me:

From what I read in a letter from Boge, posted in another forum, Boge ran out of the long and short condoms, and couldn't get more, so they had to get subistutes temporarily. They also claimed they haven't changed anything, so Andrews idea of a bad batch of wire may be the culprit.
I don't believe for a second Andrew would send out fake Boges.

Below, is a part of the letter from Boge. It might help clear up some concerns.

2) Boge has never changed any material for our cartomizers, no matter blank or prefilled ones. Some people think that the fiber filler has changed, but actually there is no change at all. There are only 2 changes to our packaging. The first change is the condom, but this only happened to several batches in early April, 2012, when the original supplier of condom was out of stock so we had to use condom from another supplier, which was a little bit loose and shorter. However, there wasn't any change at all to any material of the cartos. One or two weeks later we used the original condom again and everything remained the same as before. Some people are talking about the long condom version vs short condom version. Actually the cartos in both versions are exactly the same. We don’t think the length of the condom could have any effect on the quality of the cartos. The second change is that we spray print the style No., flavor, nicotine strength and resistance of heating coil etc. on the candy packs instead of using transparent stickers.

i just recently ordered 15 of the 3ohm smoktech tank cartos and i had to turn the wattage on my kick down to get rid of the nasty, burning flavor. i noticed the problem on the first one i used, and i still have 14 to get through.

the nichrome wire sounds very plausable. i hope they find and fix the problem soon.

Subject:
Boge Cartos ???

Message:
Dear Sir, This is the second time you sent me ss cartos that are not bogs. I asked for lr bog 510 ss and these are the ones that i told you last time i am not happy with. You sent me a reply that you checked boxes and found that there were 3 different cartos in the boge boxes but the ones i wanted have a small rubber plug inside the connection under the condom. So here I am with cartos that i don't like. In this order I asked you to please make sure you send me the ones with the rubber plug that goes in the connection end under the condom. Now what are we going to do i don't like these. thank You for your attention to this matter.
