Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

[VAPNJ350]

Thanks,I was merely curious about it being that versatile

The cap comes with the kit you think?

Hopefully its not a lame option a la p....i

DO ""NOT"" QUOTE ME ON THIS ...PLS, but if....and only "IF" I understood my guy right it would be a situation like....
ZMAX body only.....$ 100.oo
ZMAX body only with battery ext. cap $105.oo

Now...these figures in NO WAY reflect actual pricing of this device, this was STRICTLY for example purposes. Nothing more. I "think" they will be in the $150-$160 range. "I THINK" After seeing the MSRP and the wholesale prices that's my guesstamation on the final numbers from vendors after their rediculous shipping costs and WS pricing.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!! TRIBULATION!!!!!!!!! It wasn't the spring. It died on me again. It's the button/switch. It will work for a while then just stop. So back to CCV it goes tomorrow. Still if I can get a good unit this time I will not be angry. When it was working I was extremely happy with it.

I got my Phoenix Ravens today from GotVapes, certainly nothing to crow about, they pulled them from their site almost immediately and sent them back.

 

[Modnar]

And you only get the unit - at todays exchange rate you're talking $162 for the Zmax on that website.

If that's Smoks pricing policy at play and they really enforce it this time do you think anyone will pay that or will people buy it because of the VW feature?

It would want to be pretty bloody solid.

Yeah it's a little more than I was expecting, but I actually wouldn't mind paying that (Sounds like the best mod ever)

I just want one as fast as possible

 

[Modnar]

Did anyone try the Umax that someone mentioned earlier in the thread?

A Chinese vendor on alibaba offered me 10 Umax starterkits for around 330 dollars lol (The low price got me suspicious to the point that I wasn't even interested though)

What is the minimum resistance the Vmax will work with?

 

[Modnar]

What is the minimum resistance the Vmax will work with?

I heard some people saying that it wont fire with LR/1.5 dual coils, but I can run 1.4 ohm dual coils all day with my SS vmax.

I never had any problems with LR single cartos either.

Im not sure how low it can go, but I haven't found anything that didn't work yet.

 

[Bizrad8381]

I know my mini lavatube cuts off at 1.2 ohms i was wondering if there is a for sure cut off on the Vmax. Thanks Random85 for your response if anyone else has anymore input it would be appreciated.

Anything below 1.3 will trigger F1 code or F2 if really low

Ive been using 1.4DC with my Vmax but go above 3V and your asking for trouble. lols

It does "Kill" those DC's cause they won't work back on my Ego. Once used on the Vmax, they will only work on the Vmax. 8/

 

[dnrtn2342]

there is a co op for the zmax around 69 shipped, waiting to here more info, but i just paid for my ss vmax in another co op!

 

[AnsonJames]

VAPNJ350,

Is the voltage filtered in a similar way to the unnameable American mod or does it still have a high vmax and low vmin.
?

I guess it does then

I use 1.4 dual coils at 6 volt on the vmax...

No burned taste, great vaper pruduction, but the carto will only last around a day or so before i dies lol

The folks were talking yesterday about up to 15 watts setting on Zmax but you seem to be by my calculation somewhere around 26 watts, if you start tasting any thing burnt better check the tongue.

 

[Optimo]

It won't burn if you take a short drag. The longer the drag the more risk of burning.

I have tried it, very robust, got to keep it pretty wet or the diaper will burn and bridge the coils

I agree though about short hits, no warm up toke needed there

 

[VAPNJ350]

For any questions about the Zmax on resistance the user manual is posted on the prior page. And a lot of other questions.

Should have all the prelim testing with the stacked 18350 setup done tonight. I gotta say I'm really diggin' this new button, almost sits flush with the body, protrudes out maybe 1-2mm and so firm with absolutely NO RATTLE or shake. The build quality on this unit is extremely nice and solid feeling.

I would easily pay $150 to even $175 for this level of quality in this type of cutting edge device.

Lets see if it lasts before making any assumptions shall we

Yeah lol.

I only vape at 6 volts with dual coil tanks though (I have been higher actually. On the cube with 2 stacked 16340's. Thats 8.4 volts on fresh batteries, also using a 1.4 dual coil in a tank lol)

That's around 50 watts lol
