Zmax V3 Telescope Question

Check in here and say hi to the biggest pack of sigelei V3 and V5 owners.

Does the top piece unscrew on the V3 or only on the V5?!? (ego/510 cap)

 

[yzer]

The top cap on V3 is removable just like the V5 on all V3s made since late last summer. There are other upgrades to V3 that come with the removable top cap including the one-piece stainless steel 510/eGo threading and new firmware.

Here is how to tell the difference. The new production V3 (and V5) have a steel flange visible between the main body and the top cap. My new V3 purchased in November 2013 is shown on top. My first generation V3 purchased in April 2013 is on the bottom. The screen on that one was slightly crooked from day one. New V3s and V5s made since last fall also have the sigelei logo laser etched on the tube below the fire button and may have CE etched on the battery cap. The very latest V3s and V5s have metal fire buttons. My new production V3 was made just before the laser etched logos came out.

I bought the v3 for my first vw and I am really happy with it. Much happier now that I went to Aspire Nautilus from protank 3 which flooded out a lot on me.

Every new user tends to over tighten the Sigelei telescopics to make them as short as possible with the longer batteries. I seriously discourage doing that, even if pBusardo did it in his video. Don't tighten the tube down to compress the battery spring more than half way. The difference between a 18490 and a 18500 is only 1 mm.

Excellent tip!

I was at my local B&M and they only had the Smoktech Zmax Telescope in stock. I really liked the feel and size and was hoping it was the same size and thickness as the Sigelei Telescope. I was wondering if you knew about the size comparisons of the two. How does the Smoktech compare to the Sigelei Telescope ?
