440BB,
I'm right there with you about the resistance checking. I loved way it was implemented on the Young June Vtube 1.5t, where a single click of the power button gives atty/carto resistance, then set voltage, and the battery remaining graphic. Before getting my Vmax, I was a little worried that checking resistance would be a hassle with the multi-click-and-wait morse-code menu format, but being able to set the display to automatically show resistance every time you take a hit is quite wonderful.
The weird thing is that I get a completely satisfying, full vape at 3.3 volts with seemingly any carto I try, from 1.7 to 3.2 ohms. I don't know how the Vmax achieves that, but it's brilliant! In practice, it's almost like a wattage (power) regulated device, like the Darwin/Kick/DNA. I know that's not true technically, but my Vmax performs like it. Set-and-forget. I no longer need to factor in the resistance of a particular carto, since no voltage change seems required. Just slap on whatever filled carto I have within reach and the Vmax vapes it perfectly.
All I can say is that 3.3 volts on a Vmax sure as heck isn't the same as 3.3 volts on an eGo (or anything else, for that matter, including my other 21 VV mods). Not even close. I don't know if it's the sheer power of the device that makes it different or the PWM implementation or what, but it's an entirely different universe.
