Other than a co-op (I've seen them at around $80 via that route), everywhere I've found them in stock in retail is right around $130 and none have applicable coupons. Just make sure you get the one you want as there's a few alternate versions out there (one has them with a red screen, another has slots cut into the sides, etc).

I keep looking hard at the Zmax, just haven't gone and pulled the trigger on it yet. Using the time to burn through my stockpile of 808 stuff first so I can switch over to all 510. Too many tackle boxes laying around :p

If I'm reading right, it's actually $116.95 for the chrome. It looks like it has slits in the sides.

There's another one on the site with the same name that is stainless steel for $106.95

Neither of those prices include anything but the mod. Nevertheless, that is a smokin', er, uh,
a vapin' deal.

Correct, the brushed stainless steel one is $116 and the chrome is $106. With the 10% off the SS version is just over $100 which is really nice. I'm getting the SS version, the chrome is going to look dirty all the time due to the oil from your hands.

Whoops. I musta had my prices backwards.

You don't think they'd pull out the guts before venting them? Wow. I would have thought they would.

No, all the debris in my shop would get inside the unit. The board is exposed inside the unit, so any junk you get inside (through the vent holes) will get all over your board. This would mean oil, dust, metal shavings, antifreeze, ground up plastic and rubber, in my job environment. Take a look under your hood sometime, then imagine all that debris from your engine going through the HUGE side vents in mad vapes unit.

My Zmax 1 has vent slits. it would be pretty easy to put something protective inside that fits across before putting in the slits. I just had a look at mine - its clean as a whistle in there.
Go ahead and buy one if you're after a good price on a Zmax 2. I got myself a Zmax 2 from somewhere else because they had a good deal at the time for the stainless steel one. If I hadn't I'd have bought a Mad Vapes one.

I know this thread is over 2 weeks old, but I thought I would update it since it's the first result on Google and ECF if you run any kind of cheapest ZMax search.

Not sure if this is currently the cheapest, but I just ordered a gun metal Zmax V2 with the slits in it from Mad Vapes for $81.89 using their current 10% off coupon "holidayshopping". Also picked up a couple of their IMR 18650 flat top batteries with it for 5.70ish a piece with the coupon code with it (note, I have no idea how good those batteries are, but the price was right if they truly are IMR).

You can get the stainless from them for about $9 more as well.

Cheapest I found while searching around today. I also had a few left over rewards points with them that knocked off another couple bucks.

I just bought the SS model from MadVapes too. To take advantage of the discounts, I piled on x2 DCTs, x2 replacement addys, x2 IMR flatop batts (they were out of button tops) and x3 50mil bottles of juice. After coupon code "holidayshopping", my reward points and priority shipping, I'm out $145.

I feel it was a great deal and hope to have it in hand very soon.

I got mine from Gotvapes because theirs has no slits. It was $119. With 4 18630 batteries, a charger, a Vivi Nova and 5 heads it came to $177 after the 5% newsletter discount and it shipped free.

If I was buying now though I'd go with myvaporstore who also has the no slits version, but they have it in chrome, stainless and gunmetal for $86-97 depending on which finish you want (I would have loved to have gotten the Gunmetal). They were still "coming soon" when I bought mine though :( Unfortunately, like Gotvapes, they don't seem to have the extended cap so if you need it, you'll have to get it elsewhere like I did.
