Xmax Starry V3 by DopeVapes, Premium 2-in-1 Dry Herb & Concentrate Vaporizer. 2600mAh Battery, Ceramic Chamber, Magnetic Mouthpiece, OLED Display, Temp Range 100°C - 240° (Latest Version)

Product Information

The XMAX V3 Pro Vaporizer is an upgraded version of the popular and successful XMAX V2 Pro. The V2 Pro sat at the top of our “best cheap vaporizer” section in our best dry herb vaporizer guide for the better part of 5 years, and we now have an upgraded version featuring hybrid on-demand heating, a replaceable battery system, and USB-C charging. I personally think it looks much better overall. Again, same price, the same functionality, just a different logo. In this XMAX V3 Pro vaporizer review, I will go over the basics like size, build quality, and what’s included, plus jump into the details of the new on-demand and session modes, battery info, proper maintenance, and some tips for the best use. Before you use your Starry for the first time, make sure to give it a full charge. This could takes as long as four hours the first time, with shorter charge times after that. We recommend plugging the USB cable into your phone’s wall outlet adapter for a faster charge. The battery will charge faster with an external charger, if you have one. Controls

The Starry 4 IS a bit heavier than most portable vaporizers in the price range and runs about 20 grams heavier than the previous Starry 3 model. I’m guessing a lot of the weight was added to the new hinge design for the battery door. The POTV version is also running a bigger battery (3200mAh vs 2550mAh), so the POTV version might weigh a bit more than the Top Green model. As mentioned above, the Starry has a ceramic heating oven, with 0.3-gram capacity. The top of the oven is an oval-shaped funnel which makes it easy to slide dry herbs into the chamber. Now that we’ve gone over the details of on-demand and session mode, we can jump into the basics of operation.I prefer a medium to a fine grind with the XMAX V3 pro, and be sure to stir after a couple of draws to get the most of your herb. I GIVE IT A 10! 10! What more can you ask for? The XMAX Starry features a replaceable battery system with a rechargeable 2550mAh 18650 and a USB-C charger.

Each of these modes will vary the amount of battery life pretty significantly as it takes more time to heat the chamber repeatedly than it does to maintain a constant steady temperature. I’ll get more into the details of the battery life below.

The Starry goes all the way to 464° F, which is higher than most vapes, but still doesn’t combust so if you want to take your herbs to the upper limit you can. Overall vapor quality is about average for a conduction portable vaporizer in this price range, and it’s a close match to the POTV One ( read review) but it’s not quite as good as the Davinci IQC ( read review), which features a bottom-mounted chamber and longer vapor path, which helps cool vapor quite a bit more. Our full maintenance guide can help with the deep cleaning, but you can keep those to a minimum by cleaning out the oven right after use. After it’s cooled down for a minute, brush any remaining particles from the oven and mouthpiece screen. The cleaning and maintenance with the XMAX Starry 4 is simple and straightforward. The main thing you’ll need to stay on top of is the screen above the chamber. Make sure to empty the chamber immediately after a session and wipe any residue off the screen in the mouthpiece. You will notice more draw resistance when the unit starts to get dirty and needs to be cleaned.

The XMax Starry is well made and offers great value considering its price. It offers features usually seen in more expensive vaporizers such as aluminum shell, precise temperature control, LCD screen, and replaceable battery. The XMAX Starry 4 is an upgraded version of the XMAX Starry V3. Upgrades on the new Starry 4 include: I’m impressed by the performance of the Starry 4 vaporizer. The XMAX Starry 4 is one of the best-performing portable vaporizers in this price range. You get a conduction heating system, a 25-second average heat-up time, and a zirconia mouthpiece to help cool the vapor.

Considering its price tag and size, Starry surprisingly produces nice clouds and flavor. Vapor quality-wise, however, is not at the same level as some top vaporizers we’ve seen such as the Crafty+ and Mighty ( Review), or even Uttilian 722 ( Review), which is somewhere in the middle. Next, remove the zirconia screen from the mouthpiece and place it into a small dish with ISO. Let it sit for a bit, and then clean it with warm water and paper towels.
