Just had a call from Mail office & going to pick my 2nd Vmax up in 30 mins ;o) Will report back on the Battery fit and Vent Holes 
No Idea where they come from,it was a guy on one of the other threads costa said he had a Blue LED Vmax model coming in 6 days ;o) said he would post pics on here when he received it !!!!!
It's probably a knock-off
Seriously, I'd be interested in something like this also as a 2nd vmax. Would like to hear of any improvements first and particularly if the 'chrome' finish looks like something that might last a while or peel off in a month.

A knock off of our beloved Vmax !!! That would be outrageous
When I press the firing button the 3 digit display light is red and the button is blue.
The picture costa showed (i think it was costa) a chrome version but it had a "iTube" logo on the side of it NOT "SMOK", those were being shown on alibaba but I thought it was a switcharoo scheme.
Is this the one ?? DENKAT EC-iTube Nothing about Blue LED though
Denkat ? not Denkang ? lol...
For those interested Fazed has his vmax part 2 review up now.
SmokTech V-MAX Review: Round 2 - YouTube
I don't agree with all his opinions but I believe they are far more qualified than his Part 1 review.
Interesting that he could not get the device to see its 5amp limit but this isn't surprising to me. I think it would turn into a light sabre at that output in any event.
Even though I'll eventually be interested in a 2nd Vmax with all the milder tuning and other possible improvements, I'm sort of glad in a way that I got this early version; thus far it is functioning well for me. Reminds me of when they used to release the 1st year muscle cars only to have the public scream in horror, prompting subsequent year 'milder' versions.
Our early ones might turn out to be 'the collector's' edition with the 'special' factory tuning.

Hehe. It's actually considered a performance exhaust.
Given that the device seems to fit 18350's too tight, I'm still scratching my head over why you guys aren't just using 16340's. I know some of you are and well, A+ to you.

I mean... problem solved.

I dont know where this tight battery issue has arisen ?? Got my 2nd Vmax delivered today and both accept AW IMR 18350s perfectly
They seem to have got the dimensions spot on !!!
So far only one incident I'm aware of, so it's still pretty much an aberration. If I had that tight endcap, the sandpaper would be busy boring it out immediately!
It's been brought to my attention that rumors are being a bit exaggerated about this subject but some of the information getting out there is not true or factual. Please read the following very carefully and lets make sure the correct and accureate information gets out there to our vaping family. Keep in mind this is ONLY FOR USPS, NOT DHL, NOT FED EX, and NOT UPS which most vendors use to ship overseas. NOT USPS.
USPS to Prohibit Sending Lithium Batteries Internationally
The United States Postal Service will shortly begin restricting
INTERNATIONAL MAILINGS TO PROHIBIT LITHIUM
BATTERIES.
Starting May 16, lithium batteries and electronic devices
containing lithium batteries will be prohibited from being
mailed internationally. They also will not be allowed in
shipments to or from Army Post Offices, Fleet Post Offices and
Diplomatic Post Offices. Lithium batteries already are
prohibited in mail shipments on international commercial air
transportation under International Civil Aviation Organization
and Universal Postal Union regulations.
Shippers and mailers are advised that:
Lithium batteries must be removed from electronic devices to
be shipped in international or overseas military mail before the
package is submitted for mailing.
Electronic equipment with non-removable lithium batteries
may not be shipped using international or overseas military
mail.
USPS retail associates will begin asking Post Office customers
whether lithium batteries are in any international shipments
that have batteries or electronic equipment declared as
contents on customs labels.
The new regulation will not apply to packages containing
lithium batteries or electronic devices mailed within the U.S.
on domestic commercial air or ground transportation.
It feels like some big money has exchanged hands. Sure
would be interesting to have a look at everyone's bank
accounts thats involved with this policy, think that should be
mandatory transparency when any new law or regulation is
passed.
I hope this clears up any misconception of this situation.

Interesting situation ??? Does this mean that they will not be able to ship battery,s into USA via USPS as well ?? Shooting themselves in the foot springs to mind as most Battery,s are surely imported from Asia !!
