ZMax Variable Volt APV Rev. 2, Stainless
This special version of the ZMax is exclusive to Madvapes and includes side ventilation slots for additional safety.
This is a variable volt APV made by Smok Tech that takes vaping to the next level. This is really a variable power mod because you have the option of adjusting either your voltage or your power (watts). The Zmax adjusts from 3.0 to 6.0 Volts in .1 volt increments or 3.0 to 15 Watts in .5 Watt increments. The ZMax has a stainless steel finish and a maximum output of 4 Amps. The Rev. 2 the Zmax has one extra menu item (8) which enables you to switch between RMS and mean value voltage monitoring. The RMS mode is more accurate because it samples the output Voltage repeatedly while it is powering an atomizer or cartomizer. It is with these measurements that it is able to adjust for heat related Voltage drift.
The ZMax can read your output voltage, battery voltage and cartomizer / atomizer resistance. This APV does it all.
In addition, the ZMax has a native eGo style connector that allows you to use both 510 and eGo style cartomizers, atomizers and tanks without adapters. The eGo style connector does not have outside threads but typical eGo style parts fit flush down into the recess that is around the ZMax connector. 510 Tanks and other similar 510 items will screw in and be almost flush with the top.
The ZMax will accept Flat Top or Button Top IMR 18650 batteries with the standard end cap. An optional extended cap is available to be able to use 2 18350 IMR Flat Top or 2 18350 IMR Button Top batteries. (2 18350 batteries will not fit with the standard cap)
Never use non-rechargeable batteries in any device. Only use the recommended batteries for this device.
All adjustments and settings are made with the push button switch. This includes a setting to turn your ZMax off for safe travel in your pocket, bag or purse.
The ZMax includes an instruction manual in English.
There is a 90 Day warranty for device failures under normal use.

figured i'd wait till the warranty was up to review it. Been using now for 4 1/2 months pretty heavily. It still works like the day i got it. I'm pretty sure this is the best 100$ i've ever spent. Besides that time in vegas. (Posted on 4/16/13)Rating - Best Buy I've Seen YetReview by Dan

I have a Provari and I've been buying those cheap variables and they last awhile and they're junk. The ZMax is just like the Provari (which I used problem free for over 2 years now) at almost half the price. Love it. (Posted on 3/8/13)Rating - Awesome Variable VoltReview by DAZHJ679

I just recently purchased the ZMax VV stainless. It has nice weght to it. It smokes like a Provari and half the cost. There are alot of cool options to fit your vaping needs. It is sleek looking and has a nice feel. I have purchased several varible volts and this is by the far the best for your money. I have used and smoked Provari's and this ZMax fits the Provari bill! It is a must have! (Posted on 12/20/12)Rating - Best PV I have ever owned.Review by Ari

This thing is tough!Rating
The menus take a bit to get used to, but every features works great.
I have attached a AGA-T genesis clone and during my coil setup the ZMax protection kicked in several times.
I have a feeling this device will last me a long time. (Posted on 12/11/12) - Best VV/VW out for the priceReview by Jason

fantastic VW, i love it.Rating
just stick a 18650 or two 18350's and a vivi nova tank on it and your good to go, Vapes like a champ you wont be disappointed,
ive had alot of VV mods but this one kills them all.
used a vivi nova i was about to change the atty on because it wasn't hitting good anymore on my lavatube because i couldn't wait to try this MOD out, well here i am a week later still using the same atty this thing realy makes them hit good and last way longer then they have on any of my other MODS.

I lingered long in the purchase of the MOD, because I'm not susceptible to advertising. Since as early as 3 Lavatube stuck my key. So rather buy every 2 months aisle Lavatube ecig mod. I decided to take a chance and ordered for himself and his wife Zmax. I'm shocked!. In this device, light is 3.0 Ohm cartomizer 4XL how old honest dry cigar. MadVapes and wife made me a surprise today, the consignment was supposed to be tomorrow, and it came today. They must have the plugs in the mail, so to quickly reach the shipment.Thanks MadVapes.

After one week with Zmax i must say it works well. No metter is it set to V constant or W constant in RMS modulation it works good. I didn't order extension cap so i can't test step down modulation with 2x18350 batteries but i believe it will work good and batteries will last longer.Rating
The only minuses are side vent holes - i don't like them and battery life. OK, i'm a hard vaper using lots of 3 ohm atties so i should use 18350. Connector looks good but i new few guys who has had problems after few months of using.
Conclusion - i'm pleasently surprised with Zmax! (Posted on 11/30/12) - Bad for meReview by Dude from AUS

My wife bought me this for an early X-mas present. My luck with Mods, I had to get the dodgy one didn’t I. Parts of the LED display flickered and the top part of the second digit wouldn’t illuminate at all. When I inserted a battery the button would become stiff and almost unpressable. What has cost me $115 to ship to Australia is now costing me an additional $30 to ship back so that I may have it replaced (pretty much could have bought a ProFairy). It’s not MadVapes fault, it’s SMOK’s poor quality control. Now I’ll be ZMAXless this X-mas which is a disappointment as I was looking forward to getting back into the world of VV vaping. This review is not intended to make MadVapes look bad as I rate them as one of the best venders around. I would just like to warn people about SMOK’s quality control when they pump these things out of the assembly line. (Posted on 11/20/12)Rating - Great Advance ModReview by Brent

Great device. This is the 2nd Zmax I have brought. This being the new version. For the price I got this in stainless steel, I'm very happy. I highly recomend the Zmax Fast shipping. Great deal. (Posted on 11/17/12)Rating - Beastly!Review by Justin King

I wasn't going to buy one because of the Chrome and Gun Metal being Plated Brass, but when the Stainless Steel Model Came out, I jumped on it. Smok Got this one Right, I love it! Menu is not as Hard as everyone makes it out to be, it's pretty simple when you run through it a few times. This is Coming from a dude that Loves Provaris, I carry it daily along with my Provari. GREAT PIECE, BUY BUY BUY, especially since the price has dropped on it!!! :D (Posted on 11/14/12)Rating - AwesomeReview by SM

I got mine today. With a 2.5 DCT, its amazing. Way more vapor with better flavor than any of my lava tubes. Totally worth the investment. (Posted on 11/3/12)Rating - ZmaxReview by ddd

I ordered a prior ZMax, and had a problem with it. The top cap twisted off, twisting the wires inside. Madvapes replaced it quickly, and I have now had it again for about a week. Looks great, relatively easy to navigate, useful and comfortable. I am not someone who was used to the provari, and so scrolling through menus to turn the device off, is a little annoying, but I can live with it. I have been using it with the spheroid RBA, and very pleased with the consistency and control over other high end mechanical mods. I am considering selling most of the mechanical mods...because I like to have control, and alter the strength of the vape, throughout the day. The VW gives it a leg up over other variable devices for ultimate no hassle vaping. (Posted on 10/22/12)Rating - Great, powerful VV/VW device.Review by akon

I have been using the ZMax for about a week and it has become my go to vape. Excellent build quality with great functionality. Many have complained about the accuracy of the voltage settings, but I don't care...as I adjust to taste and throat hit.Rating
There is an ever so slight delay from the time you release the button to the time the atomizer stops firing. Not a big deal but something that I have never experienced on any other mod before.
As another reviewer mentioned, the only other issue I have is with the vent slots that have been cut into the device. At certain angles they feel very sharp to the touch. Even though the slots have never cut my fingers, there is a discomfort akin to having a sharp knife press against my skin at times.
Minor gripes but overall an excellent device that I would recommend to anyone. I use with my Bella tank with a 3.0 Boge cartomizer and I couldn't ask for a better vape. (Posted on 10/10/12) - Not to bad. Review by Cortez

I bought one of these and got it yesterday. I am impressed with its functionality. It works really well and there is a lot that you can do with it. Its got several menu options that you can use to adjust the thing. The instructions are written a little weird but its not too bad. I like the ability to disable it to avoid it turning on and burning up your atty/carto while in your pocket or bag. I do like it but my only complaint is that when I change the battery, I lose all of my settings. It doesn't take me long to set everything back but for what it costs, it would be nice if it retained the settings. Overall, I will keep using it. A lot of people ask about it and say it looks like the mind eraser thing on Men In Black. (Posted on 10/10/12)Rating - Great big battery mod. A few quirks.Review by _nderscore

First off, I'll say that I enjoy my Zmax. It's a powerful big battery mod. It feels great in your hand and seems built like a tank. And it's got a variable-wattage setting - no more needing to check a chart when using different resistance atomizers!Rating
The voltages/wattages feel like more than what they are supposed to based on my experience with other variable voltage devices. This isn't much of a problem for me, as I go based off of feel anyway.
My only real complaint is with the side slots that are cut into the mod. They are very roughly cut and can be sharp to the touch at certain angles. The top edge has been cutting a ring into some of my batteries. I think I'm going to have to file down the slots or something. Otherwise, it works fine :) (Posted on 10/7/12) - Best out thereReview by Bjorn
