Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

[Glorg]

I just got mine a few days ago, pretty impressed so far quite a decent vape all around. I’ll give a better impression after some time but was worth the grab for about 110 cad. I got mine from liberty vape but a bunch of spots have them now up here, I only went with that site to grab a yocan uni at the same time.

 

[sesh732]

@sesh732 That's where I got mine but shipped USPS west coast and arrived a day earlier than estimated. I wonder if your is like mine and @LesPlenty 's first unit where it only vibrates in Session mode and shows the temp rise in both modes and not just the coffee cup flashing. Like others, not a big deal but would be nice to have that indicator in OD mode too and I was just curious if TS vape shop got the newer batch yet.

I see the coffee cup and the temperature in both session and on demand modes, but I only get vibration when it reaches temp in session mode, not in OD mode

Unfortunately the one I've used here has developed a problem. I wish I could post pics goddamnit!

So the black slanted shoot thingy that surrounds the heating chamber came out of the device and I can't get it to stay there again. Has anyone else seen this? I've not seen it mentioned in the thread. I spent a good 5 to 10 mins searching for this cover when I first noticed it gone, I should have looked more closely at the bottom of the cap because it was still stuck too the magnets lol! There are a couple of clips, one on each side surface that are supposed to grab the metal body but no longer do. I assume this has not been glued, and there is no sign of any residue.

If anyone has a tip I'd be grateful to try it out, otherwise it looks like I need to contact the shop.

It shouldn’t do that, try retailer for return, then Xmax if that doesn’t work, it’s not usable.

Ok, if I wasn't sure enough yet @Shit Snacks definitely convinced me. VAS kicking hard!

@PPN when you have some time, could you recommend me an EU shop that carries latest model with vibration if possible? Don't worry if not, I'm starting my research right now!

Love how this vape simplifies my on the go setup. Don't even need to stir and it gives out smooth flavorful hits from start to finish. The cooling ceramic path works really well, may need to clean it often if you want to keep the open airflow. Bring some batteries and it will get your group of friends high af while only being slightly hot. Overall I'm satisfied with this vape and will look forward to what this company puts out in the future, they managed to put convection heating in such a small form with working cooling and replaceable battery, hope we can see a high-end device from them soon!

Great, let us to know if you like it. Enjoy!

Just got my unit! I didn't expect it to feel so sturdy, it's a tiny bit bigger than I imagined. Can't wait to try it, but I gotta give it a full charge first.
Does anybody knows if it has pass-through charging (as I can use it while plugged)? It doesn't specify it in the manual...

No true pass-through charging but it seems to be usable while charging although , since it's not mentionned in the user guide, I prefer you refrain yourself to do that until I have the confirmation from the engineers we can use it under charge. Stay tuned!

Here's a little rip with a Fury WPA. The fit is loose so it's REALLY all convection. I was surprised that it doesnt taste worlds better than the stock mouthpiece, so that speaks well for the stock unit. Cold start here again.

Watch Fury WPA on Xmax V3 Pro | Streamable

Watch "Fury WPA on Xmax V3 Pro" on Streamable.

streamable.com

Thank you again, and glad the "all glass" style didn't brought something more about flavor showing how we are taking great care to use high quality materials only. Have fun!

Confirmed this can rip through water!

True convection fuck yeah

Nice bubblers you got here , something i noticed with the full convection heat of the V3Pro, flowers quality is making a BIG difference in vapor production whereas the conduction based units can pump out big vapor with low quality flowers... but less hits. So growing high quality flowers is the big deal!

So it's regulated in the same manner as say the hopper right ie a temp sensor between the heater & bowl & if you hit it at max temp & slow your draw down to nearly nothing it backs the heater off & keeps a stable temp at the load? Impossible to combust then? Bout to order me one pretty pumped for when it gets here bring on the waiting game!
Looks good @Shit Snacks that's some beautiful glass you got there man

Yes it's IMPOSSIBLE to combust with the V3Pro. About the first part of your question I don't want to claim something wrong so i'll ask if there is a t° sensor or if it's power regulated in order to match a T°... imho there is a sensor but I'll confirm that info soon!

ADD TO FIRMWARE REQ: Auto Screen Flip/Rotate, like on ECig mods...

Great, I'll transmit that to the team, thank you for the good idea!

Wow, first case of failure but this is will help us to improve the QC, too bad this happened to you, pardon Sir.
Like @Petetbay said, prefer to discuss with your retailer first (for faster replacement) but we will take care of you if something is going wrong with your retailer, we take care of our customers.

Thank you for sharing that video @Summer , Stickstone's opinions are very important for us, he helped us to improve some vaporizers by the past and we consider his thoughts so much. Thank you for the review @stickstones , you rock!

Thank you for the kinds words @theblackcat3112 , I agree with you, the big deal is to make convection easy to use, no deep learning curve, no combustion risks, no stirs and no boring settings adjustments a mod box requires. Convection for everybody!

This caps fits perfect for the v3

FURY EDGE / FURY 2 - Dosing capsules

✅Dosing capsules designed for FURY EDGE Vaporizer. The capsules can be filled in advance with ground herb, which lets you fill the chamber later on in a fast and discreet way. It's a perfect solution for those who vape outside. The set contains 4 dosing capsules and a smell-proof tube for them...

vapefully.com

Also you can use the Cover of the capsule to cover a micromicroload.

Better for this works the Cover of a fenix pro capsule - its more heavy. But the capsules itself are Tiny little bit too high to close the MP perfect but it still works.
This vape gets better and better for me while using it heavy. Batterylife is great also.

Folks, what is currently the best route to go for purchase of a V3Pro in US? Like, without worrying about the DHL/Canada issue...
Might something big break for us here before or by Black Friday?

 

[LesPlenty]

best route to go for purchase of a V3Pro in US?

POTV should have stock within a few weeks according to Jerry.

 

[Knightsofcamelot]

According to the tracking on my order from VPM my package was successfully processed south of the border and should be delivered next week sometime! Unfortunately I'm out of town until the end of the month so testing it out will have to wait

 

[David Root]

Ordered 8 dosing capsules for the Fury. Holds up to .11 grams.

Mine should be here end of next week. Its already in USA.

I contacted Matt at recvapes about this faulty unit today and within 2 hours he replied and has got a new one in the post! I await instructions as to what xmax want me to do with this one. Now that's service!

Usual method is a prepaid return envelope with new unit, had a couple of those.

 

[Cheebsy]

That's not the usual way in the UK. Most frequently we're required to send the device back to the shop for evaluation, then a decision is made weather to refuse, repair, or replace, it's not usually particularly quick. To have a new unit out the same day as the complaint was raised is exceptional IME.

I should have said best way. Depends on the shop, the device and where they got it. Direct mfg distributor wants warranty claim and device to look at to improve future runs. 3rd party distributor wants proof from retailer, but doesn’t want device back and credits retailer account. Low value device like V3 the retailer might have 50+ units he needs to sell and this will help as long is they don’t get too many returns, something like a Mighty is big deal to return with hurdles and retailers don’t have as many higher end devices as lot more money to stock. There is a lot of different online retailers, we have a couple that just say talk to mfg, some work good with you and the best says, don’t like your Mighty for whatever reason, return for store credit.

Ordered from twisted sister shop in Canada, delivered to residence in North Carolina last Friday after a week in transit. I was willing to take the risk. No DHL was involved, just Canada Post and USPS

 

[CatchDoubleDuece]

Went to a concert and really tried giving OD mode a run for the money but one thing me and others kept having problems with is having to look at the screen constantly because it wasn't climbing temp and the button doesn't always make the proper connection, it presses down and you get the slight tactile feel of a good press but the temp doesn't change on screen and you have to release and repress the button...after a few times of this I just gave up and went back to sesh mode. Again, couldn't really give it a fair battery comparison because I just wanted to get ripped at the show and everyone loved session mode so much I just gave up on OD altogether.

Still very happy with this unit even though I don't think I'll ever really use OD mode, even if the button worked better, sesh mode is all I need.

Another quirk has surfaced, the mouthpiece. Most notably after having it in my pocket it's picked up a bit of a wobble and the plastic clip/stir part now depresses into the recess but maybe 1mm further than flush causing the entire cap to wobble with slight nudges of the finger. Hard to explain but if you have the cap on, initially the stir stick part of the mp snaps flush to the side of the unit and it's a solid fit. Now it's not so solid.

Doesn't seem to impact functionality (yet) but it does give it a blemish in the build appeal and when you press it to your lips to draw you can feel the loose wobble where it should be snug to the body.

Check the fit of mp screen, if not right place it affects how snug the mp fits in the chamber, if not right mp doesn’t seal right. I’ve played with a few different screens and they all need to be adjusted to get the stock mp snugness(Is that a word?). Right now using either a ceramic screen or the Ace ceramic screen.

 

[CatchDoubleDuece]

@Petetbay Ok, wasn't the screen but found to be flower/resin build up along the very fine edge around the cap, the two magnet strips (almost invisible resin layer) and a small section behind the mp screen soft molding and in-between it and the stir stick and was causing the gap/rocker motion in the mouth piece. Now that everything's cleaned up we're good to go again.

I can still put upward/forward pressure on the unit with the lcd facing me to create the 1-2mm gap and the opposite side the stir end still pushes into the recess beyond the metal body but it doesn't happen on it's own now and most especially while taking a draw which made it feel flimsy due to pocket stress. I am so glad I was wrong. =)

update: *I should add that this build up was after approx. a dozen bowls (roughly 2 batteries) and the build up wasn't really visible until I put it under better lighting. So in my case, minimal build up can cause this rocker effect in the mp to occur but it's only likely to happen when I can't feasibly clean it as often as I should. Others might experience this as well so hopefully it's a good mention here.

 

[Shit Snacks]

Regarding the button, during on demand mode, yeah sometimes when you press it it doesn't look like it is heating, but I think it may be anyway, if you are hitting it back to back, it basically stays warm so it doesn't need to heat up again? But I need to test this more specifically...

Otherwise, yeah sometimes you need a button to wake it up if the screen goes dark or is counting down to the auto shut off, in which case it is still easy to use on demand mode without looking at the screen or relying on vibration notification, you just press the button once, and then press it again to hold down for your actual hit... A two-button press basically just to be safe and quick and easy and simple especially if out and about??

Maybe it is because I am milking lower temps, but the heat up on mine in on demand mode is very fast within seconds that I consider it essentially instant personally, feels faster than most others even if not quite IO levels... Also tried the session mode, pretty damn cool, it's still true convection, I felt like I could clear my hits okay if I just slow down the draw at the end, but yeah you can keep puffing on it so it really is feeling like session convection with out the hybrid conduction aspect that most others employ be it intentionally or not... Even more so using session mode with the F2WPA, very easy to remove the X-Max clearing each hit and leaving the heater running, like I do cruising with Tetra. Loving the versatility here!

So yeah I think it would be really awesome for Topgreen to make a WPA just like the F2 stem @PPN it really is next level, and they could also make all glass stems to use dry, bent mouthpiece and even ones with cooling spikes, really changes things for fun variety... The stock mouthpiece is very effective, nice design all around, but still using plastic and also relying on the metal chamber, so being able to use glass stem as chamber and vapor path is such a nice next level experience for a product like this! Going to have to try out the capsules next, not too optimistic based on my own history with them in other vapes, though keeping an open mind because it could be very cool and useful... But yeah I'll say it again, as is out of the box (even the instructions are pretty great, clear and simple) this is totally a winner for anyone I would think

 

[Old_muel]

Why is this still in the unreleased section?

 

[Datoneguy]

Ran one bowl through this on a walk today and it was a great experience. Still very new to the device but thought I would share some thoughts anyways. The device is light weight in my pocket when walking around and easy to move around with. Form factor is maybe a tad weird in that it wants to sometimes change it's orientation because of it's long and slender shape, but all in all it's very pocketable and I was able to mentally forget about the vape being in my pocket while walking around, which for me is the ideal situation for a portable vape on the go.

The experience felt reminiscent of my original Boundless CFV in a way, except this device had better hits overall from a much shorter duration draw. I also only stirred once on my walk but I'm not sure if that was even necessary, but even one stir was pretty nice compared to when I would stir it 5 or 6 times with my other portable convection vape from years prior.

I used on-demand mode most of the time and would walk for 5 minutes before taking the vape out for a draw and then placing it back in my pocket. The heat-up time was usually a few seconds, but when going to the higher temps is when it took maybe closer to 10 seconds or so. I found the heat-up time to be pretty damn fast tbh and was not feeling like I was waiting much at all. It felt arguably as fast or faster than the Ghost MV1 for heat-up time imo. Pretty solid heat-up time imo. But i'm also coming off a couple weeks of vapcaps with induction heaters and that involves some waiting as well, this was vape was just as fast as that experience or often even quicker. I also used session mode at 428f to finish the bowl and got 2 or 3 final hits before calling it. Session mode was really great for taking a hit even quicker and then putting it back in my pocket for a few seconds before hitting it again. I like how easy it was to put it in my pocket during a session and then take it out again for a hit, the form factor made it really easy to do this and it was an interesting variation of a session that i've never really done before where I was doing little on demand hits but in quick succession. Pretty stealthy experience too imo.

All in all, very convenient and smooth convection experience and a nice on demand device for taking outside with you. I got this after getting a P80 a few weeks ago and I really feel like this vapor is quality enough to not feel like a huge downgrade, I can see myself using this just as much and not feeling like I'm getting a lesser experience. I actually liked the flavor from this a little more tbh but I'm still dialing in the p80 for flavor to be fair, this vape has good flavor though, my first hit at 355f was one of the best tasting hits I've had tbh. Did not expect that at all but it was a pleasant and tasty surprise.

I did 5 of the 6 minute sessions for a burn off lol and then did a bowl and am going to try to do one or 2 more tonight. The battery life appears to be better than other convection on-demand vapes I have owned in the past. I might get 2 or 3 bowls in addition to an excessive burn-off on one battery. My P80 I'm getting 2 bowls (sometimes 3) per battery for comparison. The battery efficiency seems to be really good for a convection portable specifically. I also had a Da Vinci IQ in the past and an Argo. I'm feeling like the battery life might be more comparable to those conduction portables and that is a pretty awesome thing. Again, still only had this device for a few hours but I feel like the battery efficiency might be one of this devices strong points. My only possible gripe here is that idk how I feel about the battery compartment yet. I felt like I was forcing my battery into the device and am afraid that I might tear some wrappings in that process. But I haven't had that happen yet, I am just saying that it seems like it might cause that issue when switching batteries which would be less than ideal. I'll pay attention to it and report back if I have issues with this.

Still slightly feeling the high from my first bowl in the Xmax V3 Pro, but I'm hoping this is organized and coherent enough to be digestible lol. Also, I apologize if I broke any rules by having all these comparisons to other vapes in here but I thought it could be useful for people looking for an on-demand portable convection vape that is stealthy and not made of fragile glass stems or the like. This first bowl really blew me away. I'm trying to keep my collection very minimal compared to the past and have owned over a dozen vapes so far and now only have 3 vapes. Trying to keep only 2 or 3 vapes at a time if I can manage it. Only had 2 for the last couple months (vapcap and p80) and planned to keep it that way but decided I had to try this one and would sell it if it didn't fill a role or if it didn't hit hard enough. But so far I have to say, I think this one might be a keeper.

 

[David Root]

I put a conduction pen type vape in my pocket on my way outside. It was warming up on 420*f. I grabbed a pair of gloves es and helped move some stuff. The aroma followed me around like a bad fart. I should have gone straight outside.
