Smoktech ZMax Owners - Pics., Tips, Tricks and Quirks

Where are people buying their eFests? I tried dealing with mfr on one of their websites but they quote ridiculously high shipping charges on small orders. Their "retail" website is down because they did not pay their domain renewal and it looks like a domain grabbing company took it. I am in Thailand and want to get some flat top eFest 18350s but don't want to get a good deal on them.

I've been averaging 10+ hours on a single 18350 in the Pro mini. 4 for $20, free shipping. Very impressed

Subscribed. Still curious about this PV, got out of the co-op not knowing what to expect, and my other hobby, the jeep, wanted some love. Looking forward to learn about this PV, thanks peeps

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about the buy local issue. If the ProVari was made in Australia I'd own about six and be singing from the rooftops about how good it is, I love supporting Australian companies who have quality products, just as I'm sure Americans love supporting ProVape. I'm loving the look of the zmax, I don't give a rats that it hits differently than a Darwin at the same wattage, as long as the zmax is consistent, why would I care what the Darwin does? Really looking forward to some feedback on how this thing performs over the next month or so and if it does what it's supposed to, I'm in like Flynn.

Edit: There is no way the zmax was firing for a full second ofter the Monkey took his finger of the button.

My guess is it's their marketing 'genuis' who believes that by making it feel as though it's hitting harder people will believe it's more powerful than other mods and it will sell better. Lunacy.

For me it's a non-issue either way. I don't care what the scopes or numbers say, as long as I can get it to a consistent output that represents a sweet spot for me, and with reasonable battery life and dependability. Whether it reads 3v or 6v or 3w or 15w, in the end it's the quality of vape it is capable of that matters (to me).

Fuzz your on point with this statement. I think its funny how people debate the same old, mines better than yours every day on ECF.

I can't stop reading it though its my entertainment.

Yeah, my Provari that I just got (and honestly don't think is that great) does the same thing, so I paid attention today and sure enough so does my "Kicked" PureSmoker Legacy!

If there is a capacitor to buffer the output there will be residual energy in the capacitor that will continue to fire the carto for a fraction of a second before it stops. Not sure if that is the reason but it is one explanation.

Either they gave you the wrong tracking number or the ship to address was not legible and got returned to the sender. I have had stuff sent to me by China EMS to Thailand and got it very fast. China EMS is not even part of the Chinese Post Office. They set it up as a separate State owned company to handle EMS only for better service. Hopefully, your rep can sort it out quickly.

 

[martinc]

Nah,they gave the tracking number not meant for the drop ship...let me explain

They dont keep much of everything in stock

They can or have it drop shipped to them (then they ship to you) or drop shipped to you directly

Guess its the former's tracking you got hehe

Hello everyone. My fiance wanted me to get on here and ask about the ZMax, I was thinking about getting one while I'm out today at the store by my house (AAV) and she may want one as well.

Any pros/cons, rundown would help a lot. Gotta leave the house in a little while and don't have time to read the whole thread. Sorry, and thanks for any help.

Thanks Mad! Are you going to the Vape Meet this weekend?

 

[AnsonJames]

Hahaha...BY FAR IT HAS...Heck even the VMAX OUT PERFORMED the Provari period!

It's true - it does definitely outperform the ProVari - in failure rates.

 

[jackbox]

I am sure V2 is right around the corner. LOL.

 

[AnsonJames]

There are V5 Vmax's floating around already - I presume they've fixed the atty problem with this version.
I'm hoping there won't be lots of iterations of the Zmax and they get it right the first time.

Wish you were right but seriously doubt it. BTW, how do you tell a V5 VMax from a V4?

 

[AnsonJames]

After all the warnings given about the early adopting of new devices, I'll be getting a Zmax on Thursday.
It's an unbranded production version too - can't adopt any earlier than that.

I'm just praying I don't go through the same rigmarole that I did with my many Vmax's.

Just because you had YOUR failure rates doesn't mean everyone else has! Don't come in here BASHING the device Dirk! It is NOT a sensible idea!
