First Mod on Friday :)

[lairey]

Hi jackcustard, both the Nautilus and the Mega look great on the Zmax. This kit from myepack is probably the best value around from a UK vendor. Although, if you don't mind the wait you can get a V3 from Fasttech for less than £25.

The main differences between the original V3 and the V5 is the removable top cap (however, the FT version is the 2nd V3 that does have a removable top cap) and the USB charger that you can stick on the mod and use it to charge your phone, etc.. although I think I would rather my phone ran out of charge than my PV Both are telescopic and both are great - I have 4 of them

[jackcustard]

Is the zmax from fast tech legit? Does it come with batts and charger?

[jackcustard]

Oh and what the extended cap for?

Hi Jack  - my limited experiences are:-

Started with starter kit from B & M which was unreliable
Moved on to Protank 3 and Protank mini 3 - different class - then upgraded the heads to naturevape - better again and can now do my own rewicking.

Got a Nautilus and a pack of 5 replacement coils - this was another step up and worked brill with the 2 heads which came with it. When I started to use the pack of the replacement heads it all went downhill. Performance went down dramatically. Naturevape don't do heads for the Nautilus but I have found a rebuildable coil from Vapenquit which I have got but not used yet so I am hoping it will perform as well as the Naturevape ones.

Hope this info helps

I found something similar with the aspire mini viva nova and ET-S, the coils that came with the tanks were great, I could vape at 4.3v on my spinner no problem but when going over to the extra heads they were rubbish in comparison, I could barely vape at 3.8v without getting dry hits!

Yes, it's "Legit" it's the Siegelei version I also have a couple of EHpro versions with a different button.

No it does not come with batteries and charger, which is a good thing IMO as you may already have a charger or you may wish to buy a certain type.

I'm not sure, I have both but only use the "longer" one.

[lairey]

As DiscoDes said, yes they are legit, they are body only. If you son't already have a charger and batteries, the kit from Myepack is a good start, otherwise, and, if you can wait for 4 weeks, go for the FT one

The extended cap - yeah, I only use that one too, but I guess some batteries are slightly longer than others so some may fit better with the short cap. With it being telescopic, I don't really think it's necessary, but hey, it's a spare should you lose or break one

[jackcustard]

I got no batts and no charger so may just go myepack. I seem to remember been told the v3 flat top is better than v5. So would prefer the v3. Is this one in a pack from the uk anywhere?

I've not heard that, and TBH can't tell the difference between mine.  Not seen the v3 anywhere in a pack, but the top cap isn't removable on the V3s in general, which can be a PITA if you have a leak...

[jackcustard]

Just read on ross's review that clearos and tanks dont fit flush. This could be a game changer....

Im stuckas to what to get...

Help!!!

[Ripshod]

Help is here. I believe the v3 has a ring at the top? Best way is to screw the atty on and then unscrew that ring til it meets the atty. So you see a few threads? I think it's what they were intended for, and a lot better than seeing a gap.

[jackcustard]

May well have to be the v5 i get... can this do the same?

I can deal with threads but not a gap.

[Ripshod]

I should think so. It's common across all the mods I've used. Unless anyone can say otherwise?

[lairey]

The V5 definitely can. The V3 on FT can. But a lot of the V3's don't have a removable top cap, so can't. HTH

[jackcustard]

Gonna get the V5 kit from myepack i think

I am right thinking the only difference from v3 is the phone charger adaptor. Is the centre pin a massive issue?

No other suggestions? Or am i making the right decision for my first mod and i just need to go with it?
