I've seen companies release Winner products and later use cheaper materials or make module parts, making things to break faster.
They do this usually, after product been out for a year or so.
We are doing exactly the opposite, we are trying to release first the best quality but affordable devices and we are slightly improving devices to match customer's wishes, we listen and consider our customer's feedback and improve devices based on this feedback. We don't cut the cost by reducing material's quality but by making large batches (our MOQ is 10,000 units). Many of our devices lasted +5 years, for sure this is depends the usage rate. As well, when making such large amount of devices, a few defectives ones may pass through our QC tests despite all our efforts but this ones are usually DOA and will be replaced asap by the retailer or us (this is depends the retailer's policy).
On a 1 to 10 scale, 12 too much air flow in my opinion, that’s why most people restrict in some way.
It's easier to restrict a little a too large airflow rather than expand a too much restricted airflow, isn't it?
Mine has combusted before. I mentioned it in this thread. It was ash not dark avb
@XMAXVAPORIZER Hello, sorry to say that my vaporizer combusted again. I was vaping at 400 then smoke came out of the bong. I opened it and there was a black circle with ash in the middle. I love this vaporizer and wonder what we can do to fix the problem.
Wow, looks like your device is defective, except maybe if you packed your chamber too tight, draw very slowly for very long with a very dry weed... although even like that I never combusted with all my 6 v3pro! I'll contact you by pm in order to get your device replaced.
Received my Halloween Giveaway V3Pro prize yesterday. The green is very green! I'm getting add-ons from POTV today (a long dimpled stem, for one thing) and looking fwd to trying them out -- but wait! -- wife already has it with her, off to work for the day!
Thank You to TopGreen and Xmax for the contest
In the box is a ziplock with a mesh screen and installation tool, with instructions for how to install in bottom of chamber - on top of existing screen. I know some folks have been doing this, but now it's hard to tell if this is an additional option from xmax, or are they telling us we really should do it? I don't think I want it, and my other V3Pro has been fine w/out for a long time now. ????
Very recently got a Roffu and hearing that the heater tech is similar it has really surprised me when I look at the temp settings I like for each. The Roffu cruises very nicely at 170c, while the V3P needs, for me, to be set at about 200-205c to achieve similar results. I'm using glass chamber in the Roffu, but I doubt that is what is making this big difference.
Glad you like your prize! I wasn't informed of this add-on (the mesh screen and instruction sheet). I think we did it cause a few peoples got issues with too much resin/tiny bits build-up in the heater chamber restricting airflow by a noticeable way. If you use your V3pro mainly on the top of a bubbler, inverted, you have probably less chance to get tiny bits falling through the bottom screen (up while inverted ) although it's probably worst for resin build-up cause fumes from the load may happen in-between hits (to avoid that use on-demand mode and continue to draw a few seconds after you released the button in order to colden the load.
About the Roffu/v3pro, yes they are both sharing the same heater, although, like you, I noticed a big difference in term of extraction when set at the same T°. I don't think the engineers maxed out so much the Roffu's heater but the load is closer and the airflow is a littke more restricted, this is means the closer load (from the heat source) brings a lot more conduction than the v3pro does (which is mostly convection) and the slightly restricted airflow, if not increasing the T°, is increasing the vapor to air ratio (this is means more thick clouds). So, in conclusion, we can say the Roffu may fit better the clouds chasers and the V3 may fits better the flavor chasers.
n.b: You said to use the glass chamber... I found the glass chamber increase this feeling you have, I found the metal chamber to provide better taste cause less heat retention probably (it's a lot thinner than the glass chamber).
Received mine yesterday too! Great little device, fantastic value. Wondering if I should snag the POTV glass mouthpiece adapter or the stock glass mouthpiece adapter
Glad to know you are happy, enjoy your prize!
I am certain that Boundless does not have its own production facilities. I therefore assume that Boundless stuff is made in Smiss factories.
Also, to me, Topgreen is just a brand. And unless convinced otherwise, I am tempted to believe that the X3pro is also made by Smiss. Who else would come up with the fugly coffee cup in the display?
Topgreen is a 10 years old manufacturer, we make devices for severals brands, can't name all but the Xmax brand is the first and older brand from us, it's for wholesale only (we don't have a Xmax website for direct sales, you can find our products only in retailer's shops), Xvape was created a year after or so and, despite it has its own designs (Fog pro and roffu) it also sell rebranded Xmax devices like the Starry or Vital. There is many"rebrands" brands selling Xmax gear (but under another name). Topgreen and Smiss are concurrent manufacturers and we are not working together. The coffee cup indication on lcd screen is a standard not used only by us but many others manufacturers, we can change it if there is enough people to complain about it, let me know your replacement suggestions too...
Hey all! I've been considering adding a V3 pro to my stable for the on demand feature and the replaceable battery - obviously, heating up all the way for a hit or two over and over again will eat more power. I am however, very concerned by the topic of airflow. From the looks of the display, I'm guessing that it's made by the same company that made the Flowermates and the Tera. Both suck in the airflow department, the Tera has been my biggest disappointment.
I would love airflow like the Crafty or Fury 2, I would hate another "full convection" device with zero airflow.
Where does it sit on the scale?
If you are afraid the airflow to be too much restricted I would say the V3Pro to provide a large airflow,. If you desired a more restricted airflow, despite there is no airflow ring to adjust airflow it's easy to do it using your fingers (the flute tek) or with silicon bands in order to block off a little the air inlets, it appears this is disminish the noise when you draw on the vape too.
