Help with my ZMAX.

[lonz1021]

I just put a low res cardo on my zmax, i was using reg carto's before. Now that i have the low res carto it wont fire. Is there a way to change the settings to make it fire for the low res carto?

Three possible reasons for this.
One you're over the amp limits for your current voltage/wattage. Try lowering it down a few notches.
Two the carto isn't making connection with the positive pin. Try adjusting it.
Three the carto is blown.

Thanks for the reply, it might be the connection then, the carto is brand new and I lowered the amperage.

Your ZMAX can tell you if the issue is with the carto. Go to Menu 5 and select "A", then go to Menu 6 and turn the LED to "On." Now it should show you the resistance of your carto when you press the button. If it shows 9.4o or something similar, you are either not making a good connection or your carto is no good.

No problem. I have experienced the issue several times on my max. Sometimes that center pin just doesn't make contact.

Good luck.

Thanks to you too cyberwolf, ill try that to!

I don't even remember how to get my own zmax to display ohms resistance .

But if u know how to it can help pinpoint the problem.

Speaking of the ZMAX, can anyone describe how to take it apart? Mine has the 501 connector sitting very low, so that when my tank is screwed gently so that it's snug, the base of the tank (Smoktech) is flush with the top of the mod and the airflow is negligible, until the tank is backed off to a loose condition.

If I could raise the 501 connector relative to the case of the Zmax, that would solve the problem, I think. Ideas appreciated ...
