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

[MarcK73]

Has it been confirmed that the V2 truly has an eGo threaded connection? I plan on getting a rebuildable but still have some T3 heads that I would like to burn up before then.

My SS Z-Max V2 does not have true eGo threading, just enough room for a Stardust or something like that with a 510 connection to fit down over the center.

I've hadn't heard that, but it'd be nice. Kanger's new clearos all have eGo threading instead of 510. I kinda like them myself. Makes the connection more stable. And now those clearos are the only reason I keep any eGo batts around.

They don't have ego threads and you will need an adapter to use T3's with them. They still go down almost flush with the top. I am mainly using T3's with an adapter with mine and they look and work great.

True, tried to use protected trustfire 18650 on the zmax and it would shut down past 4.5 watts.

On my aw imrs, it works with no hitch. Aw all the way!

I use AW's and Efest.. cant go wrong with either one. Rumor has it that the AW will take more charges.

Well I must say after a few days with my V@ zmax I am loving every thing about it. The feel, weight, sturdiness, threads, and the list goes on. The best part is the vaping experience. Spot on !!!

Just ordered another V2 from electronic-cigz... coupon code still worked so I order the Max and 2 extended caps (one for the V2 I got from the coop)
This device is so spectacular, I needed to have another one!!
Can't wait for that VapeMail!!

Out of curiousity i checked the website just now @ 09:31am central time.
Price is now 124.95 - original price 119.95

Entered coupon to see if it still worked - coupon expired.

Did anyone else that got these recently get a very slight scratchy throat from enjoying it so much the first day ?

I have to admit that I use this device more than my ProVari! Oops did I say that? Maybye because it is new? Or because I switch flavors a bunch and keep my Cirrus tank on my ProVari because it looks cool? Ok I will admit it.. it is because Smok did something right for once. I use the test results to adjust my Zmax V1 and it performs well too. I am gonna trade my Zmax v1 to the place I bought it and get another v2 as soon as they get them in.

Wattage testing with a single 18650 and 2.5ohm single coil carto-

With RMS on-

3w- 2.77v, 1.1a, 2.5ohms= 3.06w
6w- 3.96v, 1.58a, 2.5ohms= 6.27w
9w- 4.79v, 1.91a, 2.5ohms= 9.17w
12w- 5.46v, 2.18a, 2.5ohms= 11.92w
15w- 6.09v, 2.43a, 2.5ohms= 14.83w

Without RMS on-

3w- 3.36v, 1.34a, 2.5ohms= 4.51w
6w- 4.29v, 1.71a, 2.5ohms= 7.36w
9w- 5.13v, 2.05a, 2.5ohms= 10.52w
12w- 5.89v, 2.35a, 2.5ohms= 13.87w
15w- 6.22v, 2.48a, 2.5ohms= 15.47w

The RMS function again makes it far more accurate than without, but again it's not too far off with the single 18650 (used a Callie's Kustoms 2250mah panasonic hybrid for this test just as with the prior). Up next are the numbers with 2 AW 18350's.

Thanks for posting this Morandir. I've linked it in a couple of posts for others. Much appreciated.

No problem Kiwivap (it's Ms. correct?).

Correct.

Morandir do you own a provari?

New mod out that employs the ZMAX V2 RMS electronics.


The review with plenty of numbers (they are identical to the ZMAX V2 RMS):

Akkuträger VAMO VV/VW (aka Telescopic VV XSTAR) » Mountain Prophet
( use the google translate feature in the left menu )


Manufacturer's site:

Vamo VV Mod - HOT Sale e-cigarettes - Product Catalog - Shenzhen RainbowHeaven Technology Co., Ltd--electronic cigarette, e-cigarette, electronic cigarette suppliers


It's called VAMO VV/VW and should be priced in the $40-$50 range I estimate..

Wow that looks like a good value but kinda ugly IMO lol. It will be a great budget conscious mod for prospective buyers

 

[SabbelMR]

Yeah I am not impressed by the overall looks either:

But it is very good from a electronic standpoint (as said, identical to ZMAX V2 RMS).

Besides, a version with metal buttons is supposed to be coming soon I was told.

 

[Brealistic0]

that would look good in ss 18350

I kinda like the look of it, except the buttons. I think we're going to see a bunch of these sort of mods coming out. Performances will vary, no doubt.

 

[SabbelMR]

Yes, there will be plenty of mods employing these electronics, as apparently the PCB manufacturer that Smoktech sources from sells the ZMAX circuitry for almost nothing to everyone, i.e. the fixed one that employs the new correct RMS regulation.
