X-Max V2 Pro is the first portable vaporizer of the X-Vape dynasty whose reputation is well established!

Indeed, all the vapo models in the X-Vape range released since 2014 (the date of the advent of the X-Max) were commercial successes.

Any reasons? Yes, Top Green makes a point of offering inovation at a modest price…

We will return later to those offered by the Xmax, but let's recall for example the wide temperature control that the Vital vaporizer already offered in 2015 for a budget of less than 100 euros.

Now let's see why the X-Max V2 remains an entry-level reference four years after its release.

X-Max V2 Pro spray by convection and conduction

Top Green offers us a heating system by both conduction and convection to ensure a fast and homogeneous steam production.

Conduction extracts active ingredients by direct contact with plant matter.

By convection, extraction will be done by passing a stream of warm air through the plant.

In the case of the X-Max V2 Pro, the heating is so intense that it induces a moderate convection to proffit of further conduction.

Indeed, the Xmax and its bowl become too hot to ensure a 100% convection vaporization.

The steam quality of the X-Max V2 Pro

The X-Max respects the aromas (terpenes) of the plants thanks to the quality of its heating system and its ceramic bowl.

On the other hand no cooling system was thought.

Indeed, the distance between the heater element and the mouth is far too short for the steam to cool properly.

This will eventually be adequate to cough and purge the lungs full of tars of a smoker, but not frankly optimal for a confirmed vaping.

The draw/airflow of the Xmax V2 Pro is rather restricted by the original mouthpiece.

An airflow reduces the need for much slower inhalation than with an open print so as not to have the unpleasant sensation that the vaporizer is clogged.

Fortunately, I found that the 1 cm diameter glass mouthpiece (optional) solved the problem.

Of course, we will have the opportunity to cool the steam by filtering it with water thanks to a bubbler.

For this we will have the choice between the small portable bubbler designed for the X-Max V2 Pro, or an adapter to combine it with a table bubbler (bang).

Vital vaporizer battery life and heating time

If there is not much to say about the warm-up time with 55 seconds to reach 220oC, there is something to dwell on its autonomy.

With its removable 18650 battery system, you can have as many batteries as you want to make the most of your X-Max V2 Pro portable vaporizer.

This is undoubtedly the feature that made the Xmax V2 Pro a big commercial success in 2014 because it will not be until the release of the Focus vaporizer in 2016 for the idea to be taken up by competition!

Note that the market offers different storage capacities for 18650 formats, so with two 3000 mah batteries you can isolate yourself in nature camping or hiking for the weekend!

X-Max V2 Pro Spray: 5 Temperatures Programmed

The X-Max does not offer the possibility to choose the heating temperature to the degree, but 5 temperature palliers ranging from 180 to 220 degrees Celsius.

This does not allow us to practice herbal medicine in the broadest sense of the word.

Moreover, the quality of steam does not seem to me sufficient to make it a tool of medication.

The oily, resinous, or crystallized concentrates will be perfectly vaporized at 210 degrees Celsius or 220 degrees Celsius depending on the search for flavors or the intensity of the resenti.

For the latter, we can consume them with the small bowl provided in the kit or with organic cotton sold separately.

Ergonomics and use of the X-Max V2 Pro vaporizer

At 15.5 cm in length and 2 cm in diameter, the X-Max V2 Pro is an ergonomic vaporizer.

I appreciate its typical cylindrical shape of Vape Pen and the appearance of its mouthpiece that almost make it look like an electronic cigarette.

It is also ideal for stealth in hostile environments…

The grip is nice and the pocket is not cumbersome making it an easy object to handle and carry.

The quality of the metal that makes up the hull of the Xmax seems to be able to withstand shocks.

On the other hand, it will tend to heat up a little too much in hand and a silicone protective case would have been welcome.

This is also the case for the silicone mouthpiece because even if it is pleasant in the mouth, it heats up too much for my taste.

This makes a bubbler a necessity!

Choosing the scheduled temperatures takes a little effort at first, but is quite intuitive once understood.

If this is a drawback for the more impatient at opening the kit, this becomes a quality as we can use our Xmax V2 Pro vaporizer with a single button!

I greatly appreciate the change in color of the diodes depending on the temperature chosen, they all flash at the same time at the start and stop the vapo, which is perfect for the holidays of the end of years!

Maintenance of the X-Max V2 Pro

As always, an effective vapo is a clean vapo!
At the risk of having steam production reduced by grid obstruction and flavours degraded by residues in the heating chamber, it is essential to regularly clean your X-Max V2 Pro.

Remove both parts of the mouthpiece before dipping them for a few minutes in isopropylic alcohol.

It is necessary to rinse the tip thoroughly with clear water before reusing it.
Occasionally, rub the ceramic wall of the heater bowl with a cotton rod previously soaked in alcohol to make it as clean as possible.
If the vaporizer is a little hot during the procedure, it will be easier!

Vacuum heating at the maximum temperature will evaporate any alcohol residues.

Your vaporizer is now clean and ready to use!

How the X-Max V2 Pro vaporizer works

As mentioned above, a small effort of understanding will be necessary for the user to use the X-Max, but this will be mastered from the first test.

The X-Max V2 Pro is used like many other models like the first Focus or the CF from Boundless, so no surprises for those who handled them.

For mache and stop, make 3 quick taps on the single button of the Xmax.

To change temperature make 1 long push of the button.

The LED flashes when the temperature rises and then stays fixed when the inhalation is ready!

Summary

Top Green's X-Max V2 Pro proves that Chinese manufacturers are quite capable of offering low-cost interressing concepts to the public.

Indeed, the X-Max is probably the portable, entry-level vaporizer with the longest lifespan thanks to its changeable battery.

Be aware that most SAV vaporizer returns are due to heavy battery problems.

Its ease of use and its respectable taste are two qualities to remember, even if the steam is far too hot to be pleasant.

However, this problem can be partly resolved with the acquisition of its bubbler sold separately.

Finally, the quality of the hull metal makes it a very resistant machine, which further increases its lifespan.

It is undoubtedly for these reasons that the Xmax V2 Pro remains a success since its release.

I could recommend it to those who want to discover vaporization with a really tight budget….
