Here's a pic of the Avalon and the Bully.
The Avalon is the one on the left. It's got a rebuildable atty hidden under the aluminium piece, and a tank under the atty.
Nice, I don't think any US suppliers have any as yet. I will certainly keep an eye open for it, thanks
About 10-15.If you use cotton as wick it soaks up an incredible amount of nicuid.I double drag(draw...etc)and it recovers immediately it seems.
Side note:just ordered my SS rev 4(5?)Blue display from Vaporalley.I got a shorty blue dt to match,shipped it was $77.38! I know some coupon codes
Oh and I use Optimo's tip about wick going up in the chamber for the phoenix rba,thanks,I use 2.

The vmax is just supplying the power. The atty produces the vapor...
If you're getting thin flavourless vapor, then there's a problem with whatever you have on top of the vmax.
More importantly is juice.Have you been using a different nicuid than normal,or the same getting these results?
Thanks for the info
I never heard of the Clockworks RTA before, but I just googled it, and yes the Avalon does look like a complete rip-off of the Clockworks RTA.
This V2/R4 SS VMax has a longer memory than the V1 it seems like...I know I took more than 30 secs to change my batts and it saved my settings. It hasn't made the buzzing sound either. Took my other RA off the V1 that was buzzing and it doesn't do it on the V2.
I'll have to time it for the review.

Good news optimo, I hope it's now a non issue with the V2
In Jimis defense, and I know this because we speak, he was having issues with his SS mesh RBA and the Max, as am I and a few others. Thin, hot vapor is exactly what happens with the dreaded attack of the bumble bees
His atty is now set up perfectly and I saw a video of him blowing clouds so big on another VV it made me green with envy

I'm sure there's a simple explanation as to why high spikes in PWM tend to cause this with mesh, but not all the time by any means. For me it's about 50:50, so for now my vmax is in a monogamous relationship with my cheese cloth wick Penelope
Indeed J, I've run my 2.5 DC's up to 5.5v on a v1 vmax depending on the juice, with perfect results. I'll state again that the ST DC's were most inconsistent for me. Perhaps got a bad batch. The ones that worked well (1 of every 5 or so) were excellent however.
Although Lava_Man's question is very much one contemplated by this thread, I would also remind everyone that at no time was this thread intended as a 'love only' fanboy commentary for the vmax, hence the term 'quirks' in the thread title. Negative commentary, critique, problems with the vmax and solutions, design improvement discussions and respectful debates, all of this is encouraged also. Such information can be very helpful to both present owners and future potential customers.
There is a way to voice criticism on an 'owners thread' and a way not to. I'm sure most people know the difference yet some come here to bash the vmax just to stir the pot/troll as they believe this thread has a wider audience for their rants. You want to bash the device? Start another thread (some have). Provari vs. vmax? Buy American vs. Chinese? Well there are other threads for that too. Go crazy.
But an owners thread is just that. Anyone who comes here to say 'it sucks' without proper foundation or that we've all bought 'subpar' devices, or for that matter insult the very posters who have built this thread with positive contributions, is entirely inappropriate and simply have no place here. There are numerous people who remain quite happy with their decision to buy a vmax. Some respect should be shown for these people. They're not all idiots who don't know what they've bought. In fact, I think they're pretty smart to have selected a device that offers excellent value.
I want to personally thank everyone here who has taken the time and effort to contribute meaningfully to this thread. To the others I would simply quote Classwife's words, who states most eloquently:
Had to get that off my chest, back to regularly scheduled programming
For the post ^^^^ above ^^^^^ I do feel their IS 1 thing that does "suck".........I can only push the "like" button once.
Superb post Fuzzi, I would even go as far as to nominate that 1 for the "post of the day".

OK folks I remember their being a VMAX owner that purchased a KAYFUN MINI a while back and I'm curious how it worked out for them. If you are that person would you mind posting more info about it and get some pics of the internals and how exactly it works. Their aren't any real pics on the site of the internals so I'm trying to find out the ins and outs of this unit before my purchase. TIA. And Martin if you could maybe do the same with the unit you have, I'm trying to figure out how juice gets to the coil/wick. Any pics would greatly help.
Careful. I'm pretty sure the thread will be closed if we all post pictures of our unit.
P.S. VAPNJ, check your PMs and let me know if you're still on board.
But think of all the likes we'd get! Plus, a whole new comparison battle would commence. I'm betting in that competition the Vmax owners would hold their own!
I'm waiting for vapemail - is it worth a try to use the 2.4 ohm Vivi Nova tank on the Max?
Very true.
Regarding your question, I didn't have a lot of success with the 2.4 heads, but the 2.8s are working well for me. You have to keep the voltage in the low 3s or you'll vaporize the juice faster than the vivi nova can wick, and you'll get dry hits. If you modify the heads for better juice flow, you might be able to go higher.
