When I started this thread 2 weeks ago, there were sub-forums only for the Buzz, Darwin, Lavatube, and ProVari. Now there is one for the Chuck,GLV,Hogs mods, MonkeyBoxx, Prodigy, Red Sky, REO, and Silver Bullet. I still think there should be a Sub-forum for the Vmax.

Those subforums all existed before when you posted. They were segregated to their APV type - liquid feed, varivolt, standard. If you clicked on say - liquid feed mods, the top of that page had redskyy, reo, monkey. If you clicked on vari volt, the top of that page had buzz mods, provari, lavatube and maybe one other one. When you clicked on mods discussion (now APV), there was chuck, silverbullet, GLV, prodigy...

Six,

Do you like to argue for the sake of argument? Are you a lawyer? Perhaps i needed to be more exact. Prior to two weeks ago, under APV Discussion, there were only 4 catagories in the APV model specific discussion. Now there are 12. I think the Vmax should have an APV model specific Discussion. Is that OK with YOU?

It will probably have to wait the same period of time all the others had to wait to get a sub forum.... Not that its important to have a sub forum as most people discuss particular APV's in the suppliers forum 99% of the time.... The only sub forum that gets any real activity is the Lavatube one.... That is because most people own other versions and most of those suppliers don't have forums on ECF.... Be patient and if the VMax works out to be a productive APV it will most likely get a sub forum....

I have to disagree with your assessment that the VMax has yet to "work out as a productive APV". That is based on my personal experience that as we speak it is producing a great vape. It is also based on my understanding of physics, electrical engineering, electronics, economics, the free market, global trade, and what I think the odds are that the VMax will only get better and better, as opposed to worse and worse.

As for "Not that its important to have a sub forum", I find myself wondering what someone's feelings might be about having the sub-form dedicated to an APV that he fancies eliminated, with discussion thereof relegated to the supplier's forum.

I agree with the essence of Keys' response, and feel that your input in that post has little or nothing to do with the merits or lack thereof of adding the VMax to the existing VV APV sub-forums.

John, I think you misunderstood me.... Maybe what I should've said was I don't think it will get its own sub forum until it has been on the market for say 6 mos. to a year and has really proven itself to sustain an actual sub forum. I have read on a few forums what you and others have said as to how it performs and am very happy it is going so good. I myself even question why some APV's have a sub forum, (Hog, GLV, and REOS come to mind), as they rarely have anyone posting in them because there are other parts of the forum where people communicate about them. This of course is my opinion and others may vary, but that is all I meant by what I said......

No prob, we're on the same wavelength. I know it's damn difficult to convey everything that you think about something with just a few words, especially for someone like Keys who hates to type.

I do know where you're coming from when you say there's an element of prematureness/jumping the gun involved in establish a VMax sub-forum "right away". I've said at length how much I admire and respect the ProVari for its legendary quality, heroic durability, great design, and just all-around greatness. It would be a crime against humanity if it did not have its own sub-forum.

Reading between the snarky lines of my response, I hope a reader thereof would just come away with the opinion that I think the VMax and/or its reincarnations are going to be here to stay, and that I don't see it not becoming sub-forum-worthy "all in good time". That said, I don't think it would be a colossal miscalculation to go ahead and install one, since the VMax already does have quite a following that is arguably larger, and possibly even more well-deserved, thatn some of the ones you mentioned.

It really is a hell of a device, and fitted with 2 x 3.7V IMR batteries, it can safely kick some "serious buttocks". To distance that phrase from the realm of meaningless hyperbole, I point to the unparalled ability of the VMax to power as much as a 6, 7 or 8 ohm coil, which I intend to create as soon as Ty at Liberty-Flights starts stocking the Bulli atomizer in stainless steel with a 510 connection, in the model designed to accept Joyetech-standard "B" tanks.

I intend to pursue this course because of a sense that I have that a superior vape can be achieved on a single coil with a large surface area that is placed in optimum proximity to the juice, and warmed to just the right temperature. Of course, if subsequent versions of the VMax no longer "go to 11", I'll have to use lower resistances when and if my VMax "v1.0" stops working, if ever.

It is possible that a Vmx sub forum will be added at some time in the future.

The initial idea for the APV specific sub forums was kind of a hybrid -- Ideally what we would like to do is move model specific subforums to the appropriate social groups and have a master list as a sticky post.

Six,

Do you like to argue for the sake of argument? Are you a lawyer? Perhaps i needed to be more exact. Prior to two weeks ago, under APV Discussion, there were only 4 catagories in the APV model specific discussion. Now there are 12. I think the Vmax should have an APV model specific Discussion. Is that OK with YOU?

I think I already said what I thought. If you take it up with the forum manager, Old Soldier, you'll probably get a sub-forum. I think you should and I think there already are enough users to make it worth while.

If I didn't find the device to be at least interesting, I wouldn't read the threads about it. I wasn't arguing with you at all. Just stating the fact --- and that fact happens to support your desire for a sub-forum. I mean, gee whiz. There's one for the Chuck and thagbuilt let their ECF supplier membership expire quite some time ago. Lots of ECF vendors carry smoke tech stuff so many of them will end up carrying the v-max. I'd imagine its user base will only grow.


EDIT: Replied before I read all the way through to see Old Soldiers post. -- I stand by what I said though. I think the V-Max is probably going to be about as big of a deal as the ego-t was a year and a half ago and just one of those threads got way too big to read in a day... a couple of others got in to the range of taking three or four hours each to read. that's a lot of posts and would have been easier to manage if they would have had their own area.
