To my knowledge, via the Smoktech I spoke with, their are only "2" versions of the VMAX. V1 & V2. Their are multiple finishes and more on the way, but only 2 Versions so far. The internal chipset and PWM has NOT been altered, changed, or re-tuned in any way since the V2. And their have been some members rumoring about the textured VMAX's in the very 1st "PROMO" pic about being released as a new "version" nothing could be further from the truth, sorry but it's just not happening. That was the very very 1st promotional picture Smoktech released for basically feedback and a "rough " idea and shape of what the VMAX to come "could" maybe look like. That being said, lets ALL try to separate ourselves from the other threads that serve up more mis-information than accurate and make very sure what were posting is extremely accurate and true and not just post just to post something. A lot of threads out there on ecf tend to get a lot of mis-information out there, theirs 1 thing I pride myself with about this thread...we've done pretty well, for the most part of keeping all the info here on this thread pretty accurate and on point. The very last thing I really care or want to see is a nice device like the VMAX get into this Lavatube and Stardust category with so many versions it's absolutely confusing to the buyer and more than half of allll the version hype is due to ecf members posting about a new "version" of a certain product all because they noticed on "1" of the products they received it must a new "version" 14 because it has a new little notch on it right here, which really wasn't a new anything, just a manufacturer flaw or burr, or defect. Then, low and behold they must go to ecf and post about this new version product they just got. Then the next person, then the next person etc.... now that same product that really only has 2 maybe 3 version or revisions has now 14 different versions and the 13 before the last are worthless. This post was originally intended to make sure the VMAX family was ALL on the same page so the correct info gets out there, but as you can tell, I may have taken it a bit further. But I honestly feel much better now that it's been said,or typed rather, and I know I'm NOT the only one who's thought this or feels the same way. I guess how many likes this post gets will tell me and everyone else where we all stand.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and even more so, keeping this thread going and full of "accurate' information for the current members and those to come in the future. Take care all.....J
