Smoktech Vmax Owners - tips, tricks and quirks

Tis exactly why I gave up on them. 1.5ml and 3 ml alike. When they're working great the only way to beat them is a .357, I06 or quality rba

When they're not working great you pull your hair out trying to figure out why, and I don't care what anyone says, there is simply no reason aside from MAGIC

"MAGIC" is probably the best explanation I've heard or can think of.

Edit: One plus, pull the guts out, cut the tube in half and they make a fair dripping atty for testing different niquids.

What kind of batteries? Flat top or nipple top? Battery voltage checked?

Efest flat top batteries from ccv

Hell yes, I ran all my nicotine taste tests on 7 of them set up like this with cotton, still have them locked away in a box ready to fire

Efest flat top batteries from ccv

Did you get the magnet to place between the batteries?

 

[Lava_Man]

Ccv didn't offer the option.... It's working now, I backed the bottom cap off a 1/4 turn and it works fine?

 

[Lava_Man]

I got 2 sets of batteries...1 set are flat top and the other set have nipples... Should I be using a nipple top with 1 of the flat tops?

Yep, sounds like spotty conductivity between the two batts, then. Get a magnet.

Where can I get the magnets, please?

Does anybody want to donate a vmax to the dannys a broke .... foundation? ill donations will be greatly appreciated or a military discount for 99% off will work too

Unless I hear otherwise, I'm gonna wait until the nipple top batteries charge so I can use a nipple top underneath a flat top and keep both sets in the same charging cycle.... So in the next hour, please let me know if this is a horrible idea lol

I wouldn't
You really want to use and charge the batteries in established pairs. Why wouldn't just use the pair of nipple tops together? What batteries are the nipple tops BTW?

 

[Lava_Man]

Both sets are from ccv and are efest... I just thought having a nipple topped one in each "set" would help the connection

 

[Lava_Man]

Just noticed that 1 set ( flat top ) say " V1 " on them and the nipple top say V2.... Not happy that I received 2 obviously different sets of batteries

Lava , as long as they are both the E'fest 18350 800maH you can run them like that, it's what I do also.

Also the V1/V2 that is shown on the E'fest is NOT meaning they are different versions, it's to show the V1 is "flat top" and the V2 is "button top" Thats all...nothing more ...nothing less. They are the exact same battery and have the exact same internals, I've tested both extensively.

If anyone needs the earth magnets Carolina vapes also has them for purchase.

Several CE3 and Phoenix bottom coil testimonials on one page. I had a 5pack of each, but none I tried were any good out of the box, tried every mod suggested on the original GV Phoenix thread including grinding the bottom off and finally gave up on them. Tried another one the other day for some reason and right out of the box I finally know what you folks are talking about. Maybe someday I'll figure out what is different about this one, maybe it just had to age. Working properly these are a great drip atty without the fuss of dripping.

The XL CE3s ( I've had them a while and forgot about this), the first time they are filled , they don't work that well , ya gotta suck on them with no power until to bubbles tend to slow down coming out of wick area.
