Boge F16 Carto Tank on Sigelei ZMAX

[toolate]

Does this config work? My ZMAX doesn't fire at all.

Also there is still some space space between the bottom of the tank and the top of ZMAX. I wonder if I install it right.

Thanks!

Can you post a closeup pic?

The fact that the battery device is not firing seems to indicate the connection between the cartomizer is not adequate with the Zmax. Is the cartomizer in the tank inserted correctly, allowing enough room of the connector pin on the carto enough room to screw into the Zmax?

Worked fine on mine, ran a SS Sigelei Zmax with UDTC tank and Boge F16 cartos for a month or so and it worked great. There was a slight gap at the bottom because the 510 connection is taller than to outside of the device but everything fired fine.

Here is the picture

I couldn't screw it down more.

That's a bit of a gap.... do other devices screw in ok? Could be bad threads on the cartoon.

That's a larger gap than normal. The tank should be able to slide down farther toward the battery unless it has a flange preventing that, but that is just an aesthetic issue. As long as the cartomizer's hole is not blocked by the bottom cap it should be able to get enough juice from the tank.

There's definitely an issue with the connection between the cartomizer and the zmax's connector pin if it will not screw in farther than that. The zmax connector probably is adjustable, but I'm not familiar enough with it to offer advice on doing that.

Thanks, Baditude, Datalux. I have a box of F16 cartos and all have the same problem. So I guess these carto does not fit ZMAX center post. I ordered 510-510 extension to give another try.

PS. I realize that I have the version of ZMAX with 14mm and 8 pips on the slant.

PPS. Thanks guys. Everything works well now. I finally realized that I didn't screw the cartomizer hard enough. Just one question, what is the optimal Voltage for 1.7 omh coil?

BTW, if there anyway to test if my Sigelei ZMAX is faulty? Its LCD and the menu do work well.

Everyone one is different - I like 7-8 watts but others may like it higher.

Other than the threading issue, if everything works as advertised, I think your good to go. No real tests that I know of....
