Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

[dwcraig1]

Thanks, that is pretty much what I wanted to know but also wanted to know if the SS Vmax's at CCV were V1 or V2

After testing the V1 & V2 MAX's on the LeCroy 312-A Oscilloscope multiple times and a few other testing devices for other parameters the only difference as far as the raw numbers show is 1.75V less on the V2 that the coils sees from the PWM. To explain in short: The V1 PWm allowed the coil to see the fully charged voltage of the batteries within the pulse in the high pulses and with a higher Duty%. So if the batteries showed 8.1V then at that milisecond within the peak of the PWm the coil was given 8.1v, but also given 0V,2.4v,4.3v,5.5v...but in Average Voltage still showing/giving the coil the voltage set for output. The V2 has somewhat downtuned the PWM just a bit (but honestly it's not noticeable by the user as I have both) where the coil sees 1.75V less than the batteries max voltage which honestly I have found to be very nice.

Notice: The series of voltages stated are in no way factual, they were strictly for analogy purposes to show hypothetically how it operates in the simplest of terms. I hope this clears up any misconceptions or false-hoods. Take care everyone. Please take note of the post # for future reference and members in the future that want to know the difference in the so far 2 versions.

They are all V2

The raffled vmax came with a set of the vmax batteries. I'll get to see how those stack up to the AW's.

just thought i'd let you guys know that i won a second vmax in a raffle tonight at the utah vapers vape meet. I was planning on buying a second to replace the chrome lt i bought not too long ago... Guess i don't have to now.


Ha!

luckkkkyyyyy

I decided to take the plunge and purchased a Vmax and a Vivi Nova tank. So....How much vaping heaven can i expect when they both arrive?

What have you been using?

I'm using one of the new V2.5 Mini ViVi Novas on my V-Max and damn if it aint the best tasting tank I ever vaped...really close to the taste you get from drippin with a quality atty. You can see it on the Vmax in my review New Mini Vivi Nova V2.5 Tank & 3ml Tank Review - YouTube

Great man thanks for sharing your review!

Great man thanks for sharing your review!

Np...thanks for watching it

I came across this video after I ordered the Vivi Nova, waiting for it to arrive and it made me REALLY nervous.

This guy complains about the draw of Nova and does a couple super easy tweaks to remedy it. It's been perfect for me right out of the box but I figured I'd share this in case someone was interested considering all the new Vivi's on the way.

Love your reviews Optimo - this looks like a neat little thing!

It is indeed a very neat little thing I can't stop vaping it!

I ent my "app" in to the VMAX ELITE group. I think.

Good review on the VIVI's Optimo. I've read that some who have used both the Vivi's and the new Rocket/Apollo tanks (see post 1196 by Martinc) actually give the Rockets a slight advantage over the Vivi. Might be interesting to do a comparo-type review on both.

Thanks, yeah I've heard good things about the E2 tank...gonna be hard to beat the mini Vivi though. The way the wick just sets suspended not touching anything at all and no ceramic cup just makes it taste so clean.

What have you been using?

Been using a couple of copper mods i made myself and a box mod I made myself with cartos. Tried a DCT and didn't care for it. Thought i'd give the Vivi a try.

Look what I started with the vivis in here... lol. Ok guys lets remember tho ... this thread is about our super awesome vmax's too!

Finding a great tank system allows me to enjoy vaping to the MAX maaaaaannn!

Cheers to you!

Let's see 'em.

Slightly modified CE3 on Vmax
You can not see from photo but I filed about 25% from bottom of center tube where it goes into coil cup, I use Smoktech DCT and this CE3 performs very comparable. I plan to put in another type tank when I get around to it.
