I personally don't see any benefit to keeping the thick metal screen holder. It retains heat more than the basket screen I'm using, therefore making the hits slightly hotter.For me the main reason to replace the MP screen was keeping the ceramic cooling unit cleaner. With the 60 mesh replacement screen, it needs cleaning far less often than with the stock screen. Restriction might also be less, but that's hard to measure.
Well stop holding out and tell us where or what the screens you are using came from as stated the basket screens I tried would not fit properly and the reason I went with the DDave in the OG plate screen holder instead.
As I said in my first post about them I literally have no idea where I got them, other than they were in my box marked "screens" that I've had and been adding to for like 15 years lol. I only have 2 of them that size.
The FW mention may help some but the measurements with the verniers will also help.
I still need to measure it... hopefully today.The FW mention may help some but the measurements with the verniers will also help.
The OG screen holder is quite easy to lose so having basket screens that do not fall out by just looking at them would be nice.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the mod you did, @NOLOGO and @Thunderbelch , I read all the posts and I agree it looks like this is making the V3Pro a better unit improving airflow and reducing vapor's heat, great idea (and thank you to you @LesPlenty cause you was the first to mention that idea if I remenber well!I personally don't see any benefit to keeping the thick metal screen holder. It retains heat more than the basket screen I'm using, therefore making the hits slightly hotter.
And @Thunderbelch you may not have increased airflow much, because that thick ring reduces the airpath fairly significantly. I'm still testing mine with the basket screen, but this point I can't think of a signle reason why that stock "screen holder" is even needed... structurally, functionally or otherwise. (I realize in your case it's holding the round screen in place.)
But YES, the biggest benefit I see this far is less cleaning inside the mouthpiece, AND the screen itself gets less clogged.
I'm doing more testing on my gigs this weekend and will report back @XMAXVAPORIZER
Thank you for the kinds words about the Xmax V3Pro. I'm glad you joined the Xmax fam! About the temperature accuracy, you are correct the t° can be slightly hotter than the one you selected cause how is working convection, many factors have to be considered (hit length, ambient air t°, airflow,...) despite the sensor. Have fun!
this is great stuff, thanks!!@XMAXVAPORIZER Love the new color!
So this is what it looks like under the oven screen. My screen was very loose, so I wedged the tip of a pin in one of the holes to get some grip and lift it up a bit, then maneuvered it out with tweezers. Turns out there was quite a lot of very fine ABV that made it through the stock screen, even though I've been using it with an extra screen in the oven right from the start:
The extra screen is domed very slightly to give around 1.5mm space between the 2 screens:
Cleaned it out by brushing & by pulling air through the oven, all while holding it upside down so nothing falls down further into the oven. There's another screen below the main one, and the heater looks like some kind of narrow tube arrangement (explaining the slightly uneven extraction). Can't really see more without further disassembly, but at least it's nice and clean again:
Warning: Don't do this unless you really have to! My screen went back in nicely, but there's a very real possibility you might damage the little tabs around the screen or bend the screen so it doesn't stay in anymore (although you could replace it with a normal screen if you have to). Next time I pull the screen I'll check whether the vape is less noisy without it, whether it draws more freely, and whether you can see any coil glow when it heats up (which might give hints about the coil design).
Perhaps this could also help those who found that performance got worse after long term use.
I'm glad you like the new color, it's called "Very Peri".New color rocks !I am sure many of those will be sold !
Hi, thank you for sharing your smart idea, for now I can't recommand each others to try that BUT I'm in touch with the team in order to know if it's a "deep cleaning" you can do by yourself (if yes this is will not void warranty...), stay tuned!@XMAXVAPORIZER Love the new color!

Is this your video? It is pretty hard to follow. Can you summarize your complaint?
That is the second unit I have heard smells bad from the get go...are there Chinese knock-offs of a cheap Chinese vape getting around?
I don't understand what all that stuff about dates and numbers is about and why he decided that there was anything toxic. It's not clear what evidence he has besides his imagination.
www.researchgate.net
No.
Yeah, I don't understand most of it, but I took toxic not the vape but the reaction and the impression he got from the company.
It wasn't that. It's about if that's possible, or is that fake. The serial number check number
The toxic I believe was a figure of speech. Not the device it self.Well i dont wanna take shots at the guy. But i dont think he has done enough research on toxicity of chromium... The only concern is the hexavalent chromium. Please find evidence that it is formed with Kanthal,you will find that the oxidation it gets is the type of chromium which is beneficial to the health in small ammounts.
That all being said, i am also not happy with the way V3pro smelled out of the box ,but the concern about kanthal is as big as with any other vape that uses it . Aromizer,Dreamwood Glow, Musa 510 etc... I would love to see a teardown though, i am curious to see what is the heat insulation around the heater.
Do you have a space heater at home or a hair dryer ? There is a fistful of kanthal coils inside those.

I was just wondering about the ABV past your screens...do you stir the load in the device at all?
