Hello All,
Just received my Kmax from VaporBreak and thought a little review might be on order. Here is a stock photo of the unit I received.
Appearance - It looks fairly unique and there are tons of color combinations to suit your personal style. The body color can be a choice of Chrome, Black Chrome, and Brass. The tube can be Chrome, Gold, Black, Red, or Green. The LED readout is visible through the tube section when the button is pressed. There is an option to have no display when the button is fired. While conceptually nice to have a variety of appearance options, the execution leaves a little to be desired. The overall fit and finish look inexpensive (cheap). You will not fool anyone into thinking you paid a fortune for this device.
Construction - The Kmax disassembles like a typical telescopic tube mod. The top cap is removable if needed for some eGo threaded devices. The tube (the part that contains the LED and chipset) separates from the battery tube. Finally the telescopic tube separates from the end cap. Aside from cleaning, there would not be a need to do much assembly and disassembly. I prefer the Vamo style "extra tube" so I can run in shorty mode without having to thread the telescopic section. The plus side is that it adds available battery sizes to 18350, 18500, and 18650. You would want to lube up the threads straight away. They feel a little rough right out of the box. Expect a few blemishes, since the finish is just electroplated you will probably have to live with a few flaws. Given the history of Vamo (also manufactured by KSD) I would NOT expect the appearance to last a lifetime.
Menu - The menu is fairly straightforward and simple. The single button navigation might take a little to get the hang of, but nothing too difficult. There is a small document to explain the menu functions ( possibly written as a third grade class project?). The usual functions are present; Volts vs Watts, Impedance, battery volts, etc.
In Use - The weight is nice. Enough heft that it does not feel fragile. In shorty configuration, it seems bottom heavy and does not feel "tippy". I set mine for wattage and attached a carto-tank. It vapes like typical Chinese 33 hz devices. I have a Vamo and they are very similar. If you already have a VV/ VW device such as SVD, Vamo, ZMax, etc... this device is not a huge leap forward.
Bottom Line - Why would you get this device versus another VV/ VW? You can customize the appearance.... that is just about it. That being said, I like the look. It is like a portrait of "Dogs playing Cards" you purchased at the furniture store. Yes, it is no work of art. Yes, it is not a collectors item. But, the brass body with the red tube is mine all mine. I got to choose the look. The vape experience will be no better than a Vamo so it is a matter of paying a little extra for a more customized appearance.
If you have purchased one I would like to hear additional comments or input. Thanks.
