Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

@ buffaloguy

I consider it sternly unadvisable to purposely upset someone who could easily poison u, or has anonymous access to your toothbrush, just a tip ymmv

Heh, you are probably right... but shes not that crafty. On april fools day she tried the old, tie the sprayer down so it goes off when the kitchen faucet turns on, forgot about it, and did it to herself.

I have no worries... lol.

That's cool. I use duals most of the time, and I vape every 2 minutes. I also have the AW IMR's. I get about 4 to 5 hours, then when it gets to 6.8, the device resets.

That's odd. Mine will go down to around 6.3 before needing a recharge with batteries reading around 3.15. How much is your voltage dropping when you keep the fire button held down? Mine drops from around .1 to .3 v. 4-5 hours vape time sounds a bit low.

Did u try just a higher vg jimi? I usually vape 80pg/ 20 vg, and have found today that it doesn't have to be all vg, but higher vg than I had been using, and it helps. Ymmv

Yes I did! Lethalp, I normally use 70/30. I had some Absinthe I mixed at 60/40 PG VG. This ratio is the sweet spot for the vmax with 1.5 duals! I'm getting the best of all worlds from this ratio! I also increased the voltage! HELL YEAH!!

Try this for small scratches on clear plastic. Works good especially if you buy the polish to use after. Havent tried it on the vmax lens.

Optionally you can try toothpaste, but be sure it has no crystals or anything in it. Rub it on gently for a minute, let it sit for about five minutes and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. May need a qtip or two for the crevaces after.

Mine drops .5 when I vape for 5-6 seconds. Hey! That's not fair!

Ha...looks like they got it backwards giving me the heavy vaper batteries and you the moderate vaper ones. It does not surprise me that even among the AW IMR's you're going to get some that are a tad better than others, particularly if they're from different batches.

I'm dropping about .4 with my aw's and lo kicks in at 6.6v batts meter at 3.3-3.4 when that happens but I take pretty long drags. My batts are new though with maybe 2 cycles through them, I think they will get better with a few more cycles

Ha..Right back at ya! LOL I took readings on 3 different type batts that I have. AW IMR drained .2- AW IC 16340 drained at a whopping 1.2v- and these TZ IMR weirdos drained at .5 Interesting stuff!

You guys should try 100% VG. Im like a human fog machine. Talk about vapor! Im kinda glad Im PG intolerant to an extent. My girlfriend looks at me funny when I chain vape and fog up the room. Now I do it on purpose just for a laugh. I know I shouldnt but.... I just have too. Now that I have my Vmax its even worse. Last night she said, " Im gonna take that thing away from you." I said, "You will have to kill me, chop off my head, bury it, and eat the rest of me before you get my Vmax. And frankly you dont look hungry enough" puff... puff... puff... FOG.

If I hadn't already bought one - this post would have sold me.

With the Vmax and VG you'll be fogging up the room to the extent that you see on Youtube reviews...

Damn...Isn't that the TRUTH! Fog machine ALL the way around!

 

[AnsonJames]

I have a real quick question
I have a small nick in my led screen in my vmax, can I use that stuff that u use on headlights to get the scratch out?

If no, then can anyone recommend something? Thanks vmax brothers!

Be careful trying to buff out scratches on anything transparent - it's easy to make those little marks about 10 times worse.

What's up my VMAX sister! Where have you been? How's your VMAX holding up?

I've noticed with any other batteries that are NOT AW or E'fest the "Lo" warning does kick on earlier ...anywhere from 7.1-6.8v. But the AW and E'fest stay till 6.2-6.4v.

I just got in my vmax yesterday and am really liking it...and since u mention the batts. I did get an extra set of 18350's on my order but they look to be just generic red nipple top 18350's, or maybe they are the ones that come with the vmax and the esets are the ones I ordered. Yea that makes more sense....I just answered my own question. Lol

Anyway digging the chrome vmax from ccv... And while not a lot lighter than my provari, i can feel the difference....and it's very nice....

 

[VAPNJ350]

I really wish this worked as good as it's looks............

 

[Speedgoat]

I still can not find E'fest 18350s on CCVs site.

The Vmax/DiD combo is working amazingly well for me
