Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

[VAPNJ350]

No juice is sweet enough for me too...toss me a link I would love some of that. Been using that fake tasting crap.

Opt...If you like a real ALL natural true flavor of sweet then you will LOVE this stuff. And when you add it ....it sweetens your juice INSTANTLY. No waiting...no crystals...just ALL VG no achohol 'liquid' sweetener. Did I mention very cheap ? ....60mL brown glass bottle with glass dropper. And awesome packaging to assure NO breakage or leakage. Takes about 5 days to arrive...all for $6.99 per bottle. Only downfall is they only carry 1 size, 60mL. I order 4 at a time. After you order 2 times from them they send you a email with a 20% off coupon code with a direct link to the sweetener in the checkout with the 20% off already applied you just enter the quantity you want and checkout, takes 2 min. Very cool company.

Sounds like a bad coil head. I've used the mini and standard vivi on my VMax and had no issues. Thoes heads are mass produced and can have shorts in them even though they still vape causing problems with devices.

I thought maybe the same as well, but it does it with all 3 vivi nova tanks I have. Whereas the tanks work fine on my other devices (bolt, LT). Its got me perplexed. At first I thought maybe I was tightening the tank too much on the vmax, but I loosened it up to where it is barely threaded on and it still spits the error. Im wondering if maybe the ground wire in the device is loose and thats why its sporadic. I dont want to be take the device apart to check as Id just as soon have it replaced but I dont want to be without my vmax for a few days, lol.

What batteries do you use?

It does drop off near the end, as far as I know, but I personally don't notice it though (I use AW IMR highdrain 700mmAH 18350's)

Efest IMR 18350 800mAh 3.7V LiMn Battery from CCV that it came with.

Have you tried regular attys or something other than the Vivi on it to rule out the Vivi might be the problem?

Yea the boge cartos/tanks work fine, and my attys have been fine.

Love my Vmax but Im having an issue. With my Vivi Nova tanks it keeps spitting out an f2 error. The Boges work fine, but everytime I put a nova tank on I get a F2 error and eventually an F1 error ---> reset device. I have tried moving the center post on the novas but it hasnt made a difference. Cant figure out whats going on. It will fire at random times but its sporadic. I submitted a ticket with madvapes about it, but thought someone here might have a solution before I have to send it back for a replacement.

One of my novas does the same thing sometimes, if I screw it on too tight...

Loosening it a bit solves it for me.

This co-op is close to it's MOQ for the SS Vmax but there's still about 10 left if there's any interest.

Very organized. You can tell the ppl putting it together have been doing this awhile. Here's a link to the spreadsheet if you're on the fence or just want more info.

I just received my first Vision Vivi Nova V2.5 tank and would like to know what mods I should make to the heads and what materials I need to purchase to be able to rebuild. I have been searching the forum for a couple of hours to no avail. So far it is working like a champ, but I would still like to be able to rebuild it. Thanks ladies and gentlemen

Couple of links that may help. I'm on page 234 of 237 so they may have already been posted.

53.00 for another vmax is a hell of a price, definitely debating it.

Yeah I'm waiting for it to fill, debating whether I need one more Vmax or two more for a total of 3
Very organized

Yeh but does this still have that aniseed' taste to it. I bought liquid stevia to put in mixes and that taste just put me off.

Apprenttly both Coke and Pepsi have developed a sweet "flavourless" stevia to use only with their diet products. 8(

All I can tell you is everyone who I've told about it and bought it absolutely loves it. It's actually the same sweetener that a lot of mixologists use also with their juice mixes. If you buy it and end up not liking it just let me know and I'll reinburse you for it and you can ship it to me. I think ALL NATURAL, ALL VG liquid, and NO achohol kinda sums it up. I've used and hunted for many sweeteners in the 2 years of doing DIY mixing. This is the ONLY sweetener I've found and used thats has a real taste to it, not that fake ethyl taste that destroys your atty with gunk and build up after 1 day.

Saw this on another post just a min ago...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/316740-my-provari-mini-croaked.html This is for all thoes people that say a Provari is flawless. Not bashing anything, just letting it be known.

Arg...and it's only 3 mths old.

Error E5 - contact Provape.

Good thing I have my big one

Anyone else have this problem?

And it was sent back and repaired free of charge.

No device is problem free, actually heard stories about the Provari mini's having rough threads and rattly buttons also.
As you probably know, I've had three Vmax's buy the farm - and I really look after my PV's too.

On saying that, the latest replacement Vmax that I have is working flawlessly...

 

[SnowDragon]

Hehehehe....just not gonna let it go huh Optimo?

As for the prior wave-making post....consider the source a person that doesn't own either a Pvari or Vmax. The gist of their post wasn't necessarily too far off base. There is something to be said about anything Version 1 from Smoketech let alone China in general. The Bolt, The 5v Mod, the Rebuildable Tank, the new Gripper and you could probably throw the Vmax Version 1 into that mix as well. Perhaps a little more tact and a little less contentious verbage would have made the OP more constructive.

I'm not sure feeding into rivalries between PV models has benefits for either side. That being said, we have a shared humor and I completely understand your reply....with all due respect...I'm just sayin..

 

[myxomatosis]

Honestly, I think the point that's being missed is they both have the potential of being very effective PV's. There's going to be people who never have a problem (with no desire to weigh in on it online) on both sides. There's a lot of praise for both devices, but the problems are definitely going to be more visible when people need help or have a bad experience.

The Provari vs VMax argument feels pretty tired IMO. They both are good. Both roads lead to Rome - just different ways of getting there.

Vape happy, my friends.

 

[Optimo]

Stop arguing about it then lol...I was just pointing out something not arguing about anything.

I would hope so for what you pay for it.
