VMATE MAX Build Quality and Design
The VMATE MAX adopts a sleek stick-style design similar to the recent ARGUS G2 and G2 Mini devices. It is compact and easily pocketable, featuring a screen and adjustable wattage with preset options in “Shift mode.” The device includes an air slider on the back, allowing adjustment from a tight Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) to a restricted Direct-Lung (DL) vape.
The VMATE MAX is an inhale-to-fire pod system, with a side button for various functions (detailed below). The USB-C charging port is located at the bottom, and the front features two LEDs that can be turned off. The screen displays the battery percentage, which is a welcome feature.
Available in seven colors, including a unique “Neon Blue” that fades from blue to green, the VMATE MAX combines a classy aesthetic with modern tech features. The front of the device has a “Gem-like” brushed finish, concealing the screen and LEDs until activated. The overall build quality is excellent, feeling solid and well-constructed in hand.
Getting Started
The VMATE MAX is suitable for both beginners and more advanced vapers. It features an inhale-to-fire mechanism, making it easy to use, while also offering enough customization to satisfy experienced users.
Usage instructions:
- Press the button three times to cycle through preset modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Hard).
- Press the button two times to turn the LEDs on/off.
- Press the button once to turn the screen on.
- Press the button five times to turn the device on/off or enter the menu to reset puffs and change modes.
- Adjust the air slider on the back to switch between MTL and restricted DL vaping.
The new VMATE V2 pods are side-fill, making them easy to refill without removing the pod from the device. While the pods click into place rather than using magnets, they fit securely, although they can be a bit difficult to remove.
VMATE MAX Performance
Both pods provided excellent flavor and longevity, with each lasting for at least 30 mL of e-liquid. The adjustable power and airflow make it easy to find a satisfying vape experience, with the 0.7-ohm pod in Sport mode being a particular standout.
Battery Life and Charging
The 1200 mAh internal battery is impressive, with VOOPOO claiming it can last up to three days for light vapers. For heavy users, it provides reliable performance, with fast charging times thanks to the true 2A charging rate. A full charge takes about 33 minutes, and passthrough vaping is supported.
Verdict
The VOOPOO VMATE MAX is a premium pod device that excels in design, performance, and usability. It offers adjustable airflow and power, long-lasting coils, and fast charging, making it a standout choice for vapers seeking a high-quality pod system.
Overall, the VMATE MAX is highly recommended for its versatility and build quality. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced vaper, this device is sure to meet your needs.
