is anyone know how to open Xmax v2 pro like photo below without destory it???because i put my flowermate v5s screen for test before but i cannot get it out without open the xmax v2, sorry for my bad english and thank you.
Shame, but I don't see how doing this would help? Try a long thin strong needle to get on side of the screen and pry it up, could damage the screen though but makes it even easier to take out then, even poke holes through it to grip

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Saw this and bit the bullet. Got the package today. Ordered 2 units, received 6. It's packaged in 3's. Thing is, it has a nipple on top so it doesn't exactly fit like a glove. It's OJ Simpson sized. Tried it with it not entirely screwed to the end and it works! Is this advisable?
Also, charging and or battery life is inconsistent with the original battery. How long should it charge? Cause I only saw it turn green the first time. Charging after that was already cut shirt. White and then no light. So I've been getting 1 5 min sessions. Am I doing anything wrong?

How much does this nipple protrude? If it works I wouldn't be too concerned.

Hi guys, I got this vape about a week ago. While it was working fine until now, it started blinking red after I turn it on, even though it's fully charged. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Sorry if this has been brought up before, but after a bit of research I'm still stuck. I'd appreciate any and all help! Thanks
EDIT: Well apparently it just fixed itself after I made this post, but I don't know why. I hadn't used it for hours previously.
But also, has anyone had any experience vaping DMT powder? Possibly through the wax chamber? Thanks

It blinks red if it detects less than three presses to turn it on, could that have been the issue?

This is what it looks like. Battery seems to be doing good.

Wow the spring in the battery area is fully pressed down.? It would work but it looks inconvenient.
Just got mine yesterday. 20% off from puff it up. I really like it. Incredible clouds at 435, but HOT HOT HOT! A sleeve would be a great idea. I found it took quite a few cycles to kill the chamber (the highest temp was great for sleep), and it really did get uncomfortably hot. Even holding it at the bottom. Suggestions?

Use it at lower temp....I use mine at 374 first session, 392 second session and 410 for the last one.
I only use the higher setting for a flowers/concentrates mix with water flitration (and sometimes concentrates only with the cup..never worked really well for me...).
IMO it produces massive clouds at 392...the same you got at max but you need to take a longer draw (that it's not possible at max...).
Not sure cause mine is a Storm (rebranded) but I thought the max t° is 428°F (the max I use for flowers in a conduction vape is 415(410-420), in convection world it's another story, you can go hotter!)
And , to be honnest, I bet there is a bit of combustion after 3 sessions at max...how was your abv (brownish or black?) and did you enjoy the taste after the first session?
I think you can get more pleasure (a combo of effects, clouds & taste) using lower t°, When I got it I was impressed how it produces a thick vapor at 374!
But, all in all, enjoy your vape as you want my friend, if you like it hot, turn it to the max! (and be ready to cough as hell!)

After I completed the burn-in and all my testing ... I used the unit as I would normally which for me was not going to the max temp. Still hot...yep...unusable...nope.

Well, another one bites the dust. Haven't done well with my last 2 vape purchases. First the ESV which has spent more time in a drawer and in transit for repair than it's had draws. Hasn't worked properly since day one.
Now my Xmax. I was really liking this vape for it's portability and fast heat up.
I've got 2 fully charged batteries that I alternate but now I'm experiencing the vape just shutting down during a session.
If I'm lucky, I'll go through a session and it will time out normally. But this is rare and most likely a thing of the past.
Now it will be heating up, to whatever I set it to, and then something like 10 or more red blinks in succession and it shuts off. I've ISO swabbed out the chamber and blown some compressed air where I could but it only helped the first time.
I suspect the blinking and shutdown are related to a fault in the unit and this is a self-protecting feature to prevent further damage or possible injury?

Yeah I'd try contacting where you bought it if a store for replacement, or even emailing Topgreen directly. You haven't had it that long so I think someone should take care of you

I don't know if we're having the same incident, but the first few days, I kind of had a similar problem. I would only have one or two cycles from a fully charged battery then I would get the red blinking lights thinking it's already drained. After playing around with it I found out that I've been switching it off.
When your unit starts blinking red or appears to be doing something weird, try pressing and holding the button until it changes lights instead of pressing in succession. That's how I found out it wasn't drained.

Any tips on micro dosing with this vape? I'm just getting back into MJ after a 15 year hiatus. During that time, I took two tokes and they blew me out of my mind. Back when I was smoking more regularly I still had a very low tolerance.
I read earlier in the thread that this is a session vape and its best to just use a very small amount. But I've also read that this affects the vapor quality, and with other capes people insert screens or spacers to make sure the weed is properly tamped down. Does anyone have experience with this on this vape?
I ask because I can get this for $60 or I can get a used Firefly for $110. I think the Firefly would be better for me, but I'm concerned about the reliability and battery issues, especially since obviously MJ is not a big part of my life. Don't want to have to deal with it.

Firefly is definitely more powerful and is more pipe like experience (vs xmax being more joint like), but without warranty and only one battery that's risky (I'm on my third FF in only one year, and have had 4 if the 750 batteries, now two 770s are solid)...
Xmax more value but yeah session conduction vs on demand convection, so not my cup of tea really these days, but you can use less herbs if you pack down tight a fine grind, then use a screen or even better some organic cotton or hemp fiber as a spacer to keep the load packed down when you take hits.
There are quite a few other good options (I'd suggest checking out Triihouse's Lily for on demand convection, only $89 and no warranty worries without electronics, thiugh Triihouse CS is still great, Lily can also be used in a conduction mode even)

Thanks, Exactly what I was looking for.
I'd never heard of the Triihouse Lily, and I like the price. Don't know if I want to deal with butane, especially out and about. But 95% of the time if be at home. I'll have to do some research on that.
Too many people have reported issues with their Firefly, so yeah I think I'll pass on that.

Yeah dude, many many solid options, plenty of great info here, welcome to the community!
I got mine yesterday. So, you have to inhale all, rather than like the firefly, else you lose. And I seem to prefer the ff for quality so far, but its s good vaporizer. Also what is a burn off. Is it too late now as I had one session. One other issue thus vape givesviff a weed odor, even after brushing. What do you do about this. I keep it at work vand dint want people smelling it.

A burn off is running the unit at it's highest level until the robot fart smell/taste of the new electronics is 'burnt off'. This unit also left me with a bad taste/smell from the mouthpiece. You could do a burn off at anytime but it's usually done prior to using the unit for the first time. The following is a in-depth review that might help. Sorry for the review length but it might work well in case you need something to put you to sleep.

I don't know what you meant by 'in-hale all else you lose' though.
As far as the weed smell - yeah, it's my smelliest vape but also my most convenient once loaded. I can't think off a way to reduce the smell other than keeping it in a plastic bag and not using it in an enclosed area.

Burn off is sessions on empty for factory fumes to offgas. If it smells and tastes fine to you you're fine. Yeah any vape is gonna smell after use if you smell it... Firefly does too kinda, get a case if youre really worried
@His_Highness he means the constant cooking, if its on and you don't inhale the vapor, it escapes and is wasted
