Don't own a v3 nano, but isn't it the same style of packaging as the v3 pro? I remember people complained about the same problem with the v3 pro too.
Yes it's a similar white foam packaging, I transmit the complain.
Just paper cardboard? Simple enough
Yes, you are right, it's simple and recyclable, thank you for the input!
Nano arrived today. Sleek, small, 1,000 mah battery, I think this, when I try it, may be similar to a Grasshopper experience.
The little screen/vapor diverter plus the glass stem may make it slightly cooler than a hopper? Will see...
Hi, I'm very glad a so famous member took the plunge, I know you are a connoisseur and you have quality requirements. That's why I consider seriously your feedback. I noticed you (and
@MoltenTiger ) got initial bad smell&taste issues, I believe your sens of smell is a lot better than mine and I believe your claims too. I will transmit the request to replace that foam packaging by odor-less cardbox packaging, hope it will be considered for subsequents batches.
I'm glad to notice you ended with a nice vaping experience! Enjoy the Nano!
I found a V3 Pro box cleaning up yesterday. It has black foam which still has a faint smell. Never had an obvious issue wlth both of my units there, although some did seem to have a similar experience unboxing V3 Pro as I have with Nano.
Thank you for the packaging suggestion, I will push in order to get it replaced by cardbox simple packaging. What do you mean by "med grade" packaging? Sterilized sealed sort of ziplock package?
I don't understand what you meant in your post last sentence? Please elaborate...
It is an interesting novelty, if only for its size.
While the chamber looks slightly bigger than I imagined, I would call this a micro-doser - at least when compared to the loads I do in other devices!
I think the idea behind the Xmax V3 Nano was to get all you want in a vape session in a 3mn timeframe, starting from first tasty hits with faint vapor production to the last thick hits with massive vapor production. Although, since it's only 3mn the taste is still noticeable by the last session's hit.
By my understanding of the V3 Nano software it's not really temp controlled but it's more based on wattage curve in order to match with desired target T°, although I'm surprised cause it doesn't seems to overheat while doing back to back sessions despite it does the same pre-heating so there is probably a sensor able to regulate the heat but not to shorten the pre-heat cycle... It's speculation, I have to ask to our engineers and report later...
I noticed your valid comments about the Nano's loading PIA, I can't disagree, we will probably release something to help...
It was mentionned in Reddit (r/XmaxVape) the glass mouthpiece to be not so much appreciated since it makes a such small device pretty difficult to carry without to get risks of breakage and it add too much length... What do you think about to replace the stock glass mouthpiece by a different shorter mouthpiece which can adapt on its own to fit a 14mm glass joint (it could be probably a shorter glass lined silicone/plastic mouthpiece)? I don't think an additionnal wpa accessorie could fit with V3 Nano's "spirit" but more a multi-purposes stock mouthpiece.
I took one for the team this morning, got an early start!
I vaped 6 chambers off a full charge, not too shabby! It is not quite the micro-doser I had thought, I'm learning just the right amount to put in, and it is a bit more than I thought previously.
What's an intense test
for $50 (not on sale) this device is very impressive. if they can get these into most headshops in newly legal USA states, they got a winner for on the go use and for people who dont want to mess around with capsules and for people who dont want to mess around with batteries.
Thank you for joining the Xmax Fam, you are welcome! And thank you very much for that impressive appreciation of the Xmax V3 Nano, we are very glad it fits your usage style. To be able to offer it at a such price we had to go with a less expensive built-in power source, this is remove the need of a battery lid and helps to lower the price. With care and good battery management you can get it to work well for 2 years I believe... but it's too early to say (my claim is based on other small battery device released for Xvape brand, the Avant, mine is in its fourth year and still going strong (let me know if you need infos on battery management).
I am happy to hear more feedback in this thread, especially if it agrees with mine!
I agree, this is simple enough for a big market that wants 'simple'.
Taste profil surprised me also! Thank you for sharing so much! Yes simple is our spirit, we did the Convection heat Simple as a breeze with the V3Pro and, with the V3 Nano, we do the Beginner first experience Simple like to count one, two, three!
Your suggestion to release differents T° range devices is awesome but the best would be a software update rather than to release "range stucked" devices... although this is may happen in the next version, the Nano Pro
, actual software can't permits such updates sadly.
I am enjoying my unit and sounds like a few others are being surprised at how well it vapes,
I have less than a few days of use but I really do love it. this is a must have purchase if not for the price alone. the bowl fits 2-3 "pinches" perfectly.
Thank you for the kinds words about the Xmax V3 Nano, we are very glad to see how much you like it! No, there is no pass through feature and, while it's possible to use while it's charging we don't recommand to do it, this is will shorten the battery llifespan. For infos the built-in battery is a 18500 and yes, it's thinner than the classics 18650 like you noticed.
What makes you say it has pass-through charging? I can't see anything in the manual or promotional materials to suggest this?
No pass through charging but it's possible to use the Nano while it's charging, true Pass Through charging feature bypass the battery while in use (battery is charging and only charging, power source is the wall plug). It's a rare feature imho and we cannot implement the humble V3 Nano with a such "high end" feature.
Pass through typically refers to powering the device without putting load on the the battery. It's typically a bad idea to use lithium ion batteries while being charged as it can lead to over heating and reduce the life. I don't know if this applies to lithium polymer batteries but I would not do it.
Finally you explain yourself "Pass Through" feature a lot better than myself, thank you for the detailed explanation!
Oh I totally forgot it had a non-replaceable battery, yeah it might end up declining further more likely than dying in a year, meaning over time you will get fewer and fewer bowls per charge is all, but potentially fully die sooner yeah, just more risk of strain on the battery cell, which already happens with normal use discharging and recharging (this is the other detail about true pass through: if your battery is fully charged, and you are plugged in, then you can run straight off the wall without depleting the battery at all... Fairly certain that is not the case here, it would just mean the battery keeps recovering from any discharge by the constant charge, as you use it) regardless good feature to have particularly when cells are not replaceable so if this was all someone had they hopefully would not have much down time without it. Thanks!
In a year... ?!? With proper battery management you can expect to get your device (with built-in battery) alive for 2/3 years or even more, I do that claim based on my experience with such devices, I said above the Xvape Avant, with built-in battery, to be in its 4th years of service! although the V3 nano heating technology being pretty different, convection oriented, it may be more power demanding.
