So I ordered a segelei Zmax v3...

[ch1naski]

It's my first APV, coming from using eGo twists. I'm hoping this will be able to handle my carto's, vivi nova, PT 1, and also allow me to move up to rda's.

It seems that for my needs (I come from smoking cloves, so getting a good throat hit is a big deal for me) and budget constraints (can't afford a provari), the zmax, I'm hoping, will do the trick: allow me too drip at home, and also use a rba or carto/tank setup when I'm out for hours.

Have I made the right choice? Opinions?

I see I may have posted this in the wrong subforum, apologies....

I have a Sigelei Zmax V5; the differences between the V3 and V5 appear to be negligible. It rocks with my carto tank. From my understanding, as long as you build the coils for your dripper/RBA within the constraints of the Zmax, i.e. the right ohm range, you should be good to go.

I didn't see the minimum resistance rating on the spec sheet for it, I assume it's at least 1.2 ohms...

I have a 1.4 coil on my z right now and it's great, I did wrap a 1.0 coil and it says low load, so mine won't fire a 1 .0. I know that doesn't answer your question about a 1.2 but at least u know a bit more about the range

I think you will be very happy with your decision to get the Sigelei ZMAX. I was pleasantly surprised when I rec'd mine and checked it out. In terms of quality vs price I don't think you can beat it. It has handled everything from carto's to RBA's with no problems.
You may want to pick up some Noalox to put on the telescoping threads and battery caps to help preserve them. Not saying there was a problem with the threads, just something akin to doing PM on a car -- help preserve and extend the working life.
I like mine so much that I'm planning on getting one for my wife and probably another for a backup.

IMHO, Yes.
A great choice for a mod.
Did you get the SS version?

In VW mode it handles the PTII, Evod BCC, some older carts, knock off BCC clears.
Should do the RBAs. Have run into No Load when rebuilding coils somewhere around 1.2/1.3 ohms.
So far everything from 1.5 and up is great.

 

[ch1naski]

Mine cuts to low load status on anything under 1.3 ohms. It can be tricky trying to get close to that resistance without going lower, but with 30ga kanthal, 4 winds is usually good with 2mil eko. And an 18650 lasts a good portion of the day with heavy use. I'm very satisfied. If I want to go dual coil, tho, I'm SOL.

I don't think you'll be sorry it's a great device...and the telescoping option is great when you want to use it in stealth mode.

The Segelei Zmax V3 is a great mod for the price. If you are looking to do low ohm vaping, you need a mech with a sacrificial spring to protect the battery under extreme loads or a short condition, along with a battery with reserve load capacity to prevent heat related failures.

Using an auto mod for sub ohm vaping is kind of like using a modern vehicle for drag racing. Over-rev it and the motor shuts down to protect it from catastrophic failure. It's all part of the design.

 

[ch1naski]

Since ordering the zmax, I've also grabbed a couple mech mods for dual coil sub ohm setups. So now I've got my "go to" tank mod, and a couple just for dripping.

Apparently, I've contacted some sort of disease that a lot of folks here seem to have.
