I'm all over it, having heart palpitations as we speak. This thing has more power than I'll ever need.

Random....I'll try to get to it tomorrow..but if you've seen the SS VMAX with blue LED display you've already seen the ZMAX in it's entirety. Nothing more...Nothing less. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME. AND I MEAN EXACTLY.

The ONLY difference is the display showing a "P" for POWER or wattage. Thats it. Menu #7 is added to switch from voltage to wattage...or "P". Im pretty sure by now everyone has seen a New SS eGo top cap blue LED VMAX by now. Thats the same same tube...same body....same everything they put the ZMAX chipset into. I put the 2 side by side to see if their is ANY difference in the aesthetics.....Not 1 thing,....same dimples in the same locations.....theirs basically twins with different internals.

Ok thanks VAPNJ

OMG...PHOENIX CLONE! For only $9! The flavor! Goes through the juice a bit quick, but for this taste? well worth it!

Thanks for suggesting it to me on here!

I have noticed one thing... stock it has a real super smooth hit...will making a lower resistance coil make it a harder hit? Thinking about putting a small piece of SS 400 mesh under the coil with the silica wick too...

I finally taste TFA's cinnamon danish like never before!

Out of stock already!!!

So it turns out the PV was not defective... I am. The spring was not seated in the end cap. It's working just fine now. Durrrrrrrp.

No your punition for propagating false accusations about your new toy is to build a shrine and revere it for as long as it lasts.

Please,no more jokes

If you think that is good wait until you try the Rainbow Atty!

Ok, I need someone to explain to me... ya got a couple of posts, some wick, and a coil... why would one dripping RBA, like say a Rainbow atty, be better than another, like say a Phoenix RBA?

(I'm not talking about the quality of the machining or materials or anything like that. I'm asking about taste, vapor, hit kinda stuff.)

How many drops with go into a Rainbow?

I was trying to figure out the same thing when Freddie said that the other day really I think it's all about how you build your wick/coil and the materials used.

Or it could be how much you spend on it. It is funny how much your mind can convince you something is better just because you spend more money on it. That may not be applicable here, and isn't true in a lot of instances, but I'm just sayin'....

Actually I think that is a SS VMAX. Their is 1 thing different in the tube body from a VMAX. The tube is actually shorter. By around 5-8mm. It fits a 18650 battery with a flat Steel end cap ....in order to use the stacked 18350 setup you have to use the added end cap extension to take the extra 5mm or so. But that is the ONLY body type difference.

Line spacing on the body is wrong for the steel - that's the tube of lightning bolt design version but with steel end caps.
Looks like chrome instead of steel too.

The Zmax sounds amazing - I'll check the reviews and see what the version 1's are like and wait a while first.

I am real (or was) interested with Zmax, I'm curious about it's maximum output with the single battery, 18650 I assume. Since it basically looks just like a Vmax, and v1 Vmax probably has more power even when using 2 batteries. Maybe if they made it to accept just 1 18350 to make a mini and then had necessary tubes to bump up battery capacity.
The watt feature is OK but I really don't care either way, nice but I wouldn't buy just for that,

I'm interested in the ZMax because when you set it to a certain wattage no matter what resistance atomizer you use you will always get the same hit from a 1.5 ohm atty or a 4 ohm atty. Being able to go to 15 watts is perfect for me because I hate long drags. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

Ohm's law and VV is good enough for me.

Maybe I should have said I was interested with it , just not buying one as I still don't use my SS Vmax, it doesn't even have half an hour of use on it.

Maybe if I change my avatar you folks will take me more seriously, stay tuned.

I already fount my perfect vape...anything I get from here on is just the hobby aspect of vaping for me. Never woulda thought vaping gear in general would be so addictive lol.

Smoking cigs was just, well smoking cigs, this is really something(something I actually enjoy)

These lil $10 atty everybody raves about lately have a very thin coat of chrome over a thick coat of copper,over an unknown metal.

Copper is bad,m'kay?

Let the paranoia begin

I now have both my ViVi RBs with Optimo-ized wick and coil, I tried the vertical and u-shaped mesh but went back to silica. I must have built them 20 times by now but now they work excellent.
