XMAX V3 Pro

How do session and on-demand mode differ on the XMAX V3 Pro?

Session mode heats, vibrates, then counts down while you inhale, on a 4 or 6 minute timer. On-demand heats only while you hold the power button, suspending after 30 seconds with three vibrations until you press again. Click up and down together to switch.

Why does the XMAX V3 Pro need long draws?

It heats mostly by convection, so vapor comes from air pulled through the chamber. Our review found it needs long slow draws, so aim for 10 to 15 second inhales. See how to inhale from a dry herb vaporizer.

What should I know about the XMAX V3 Pro battery?

It takes a standard removable 18650, supplied as a 3.7V 2550mAh cell, with a protection tab to pull before first use. XMAX says never to charge above 5V/1A, or store it below 2 percent, as it then stops accepting charge.

Do the XMAX V3 Pro oven screens need replacing?

A steel mesh screen sits at the top of the oven, with two spares in the box. Lift the old one out along the oven wall with the cleaning tool, then press the new one in. A tightened draw often means a clogged screen.

Can I use the XMAX V3 Pro with a water pipe?

No adapter is included, but a glass water pipe adapter is sold separately, along with a small bubbler that attaches above the mouthpiece. Glass accessories replace the plastic cap rather than sit on it.

What does the XMAX V3 Pro warranty cover?

TopGreen gives 12 months from purchase with a receipt, or from date of manufacture without one, covering the electronic base only. The cap, battery cell, scraping tool and other detachable parts are not covered.

How does the XMAX V3 Pro compare to the Starry 4 and V3 Nano?

The Starry 4 is conduction with a 0.4g chamber and adjustable airflow; the V3 Pro extracts a 0.1g to 0.15g load. The V3 Nano is session only at a fixed temperature with a sealed battery.

Is the XMAX V4 Pro worth the upgrade over the V3 Pro?

The V4 Pro keeps the same oven, heating and 18650 battery but adds three-position adjustable airflow, a colour screen, a screw-on battery cap and a glass mouthpiece that doubles as a 14mm/18mm water pipe adapter. If you mainly want the water pipe adapter and airflow control it is worth the extra, otherwise the V3 Pro remains the cheaper way to get the same vapor.
