I have the right people working on a solution... time is the issue... these high risk accounts need a lot of time to go through the approval process.


My thought is, they will be available when they are available. Like the old saying goes...the wait is worth it!!

....but of course I'm still hawking my email for that house of hybrids notification!! ;)

Last notice was the 10th and 11th but that may change due to the new situation.

good morning everyone.

congrats to the lucky winners.

question. I read a post about the battery being put in backwards. I tried it just for fun. I noticed that the device seems to hit a little harder when the battery is inserted like that. I wonder if it is because the screw makes stronger contact with the battery nipple while the flat part makes better contact with the screw inside in the top.

my question is this. If this totally safe? Are there any downsides to this? I would love for zen to chime in if he sees this. Maybe it is the same and I am crazy. That would actually make sense. thanks.

Nope not crazy. Did the same thing with the same results...

I just want to say one more thing about the backwards battery so Zen doesn't chastize me.

As I stated in my last post, I only recommend you use the Zenesis the way Zen designed it and not modify it in any way.
However, you don't have to be scared to death about accidentally putting the battery in backwards and worrying about an explosion. That is part of what makes his design so safe.

I now i am new here and havent even seen one of these yet but... I agree with Mr. P... Mechanical mean backwards battery shouldnt matter... In terms of a mechanical device +5v is the same as -5v.....

I really don't want this to be taken as a "criticism" or "demand" - as I see spirits are so volatile on this thread it's safer to smoke an analog in a distillery - but I am wondering if it would be possible that updates about product / site availability are put in a less noisy place, like for instance the "*Zen alerts*" thread in the group...

I have a faint suspicion that it wouldn't stop all those AYS people from badgering Zen~ with questions, but one could hope so and it certainly would make it easier for those who do not really want a 24/7 virtual life around this thread.

Thanks, and please do understand I'm not thinking I'm smarter than you all, and I understand that there might be a reason it's not already being done.

No problem and yes Zen is the only person to update the Zen Alerts. It is usually been pretty current but Zen also has a full time job to go along with this full time job.

If you can't read all the posts then please feel free to ask any question in here and you will get a speedy answer, I swear.

and THIS is not aimed at anybody...

Ob... it's called Bandwidth Bravery... With businesses that exist nearly ENTIRELY in a virtual realm, folks are often more prone to complain than to praise.

In retail... face to face... customers tend to be nicer to make sure they are treated well when they stop in for a return visit.

In virtual land, "tone" can be misconstrued, as I just did...

And when the tone is REAL...people do occasionally reserve the right to be nasty because you can't pick them out in a crowd later, and beat the snot out of them.

It really does bring out the worst in people.Limited availability of desirable products compounds the issue.

Yes I am this far back in the conversation. Id also like to add an important point. Ex smokers are prone to flying off the handle for the smallest things. Add the fact that they might be vaping on something that can not keep up and spending money non stop to fill a void. Its a bomb with a lit fuse just waiting to hit gun powder. I speak from exp.

Yes, I think it is time for everyone to sit back, relax, and get a grip on reality....

The Zenfidels who already own a Zen APV did not get one in the same second they set their heart on owning a Zenesis. They waited for 2+ months on average before the first Zens actually appeared on the scene. They were repeatedly warned by Zen to have patience, not to get antsy, and that the ownership of a Zen APV would happen at the soonest possible moment that it was feasible.

That mindset is still the number one thing a Zenesis owner needs. Zen is much closer to having the stock necessary to satisfy everyone's craving to buy a Zenesis, but unforeseen circumstances have slowed the process to get those APVs in the hands of new owners.

These circumstances are beyond his control and have popped up at the most inconvenient time. Rest assured that Zen is doing everything that is humanly possible to resolve these issues as quickly as possible so that you will be able to purchase the APV you desire. Driving him crazy will not help.

Sit back and relax for a while. Lack of patience, pestering, begging, and thousands of PMs will not speed up the resolution of the setbacks Zen has experienced lately.

The Number One requirement to be a Zenfidel is PATIENCE.

If you ever use a kick, put the battery in backwards then put the kick in, this will ease the removal and it will still work.

Nope... Won't work Mr. P. The ground spring on the kick needs to be grounded thus needs a connection from the -ve end of the battery to the said spring. Putting it battery end first will make the whole tube a +ve and not a ground and may fry the kick. Unless you put something to connect the battery's -ve to the kick's spring without it touching the body which if you somehow manage to get it to fit will make it a PITA to remove the battery which won't last long at all...

So the best solution is to not use a kick in the first place...

And Congrats Vaptamist and Wacko! :toast: and thanks a bunch Zen for the contest and your contribution to the vaping community as a whole :)

Hey folks... I just want to pop in and say a few words about the way last night ended...

As many of you know, we had a contest that SHOULD have been fun and it turned... well... ugly at the end.

I was feeling jubilant about hitting 20,000 posts in the thread, and my original plan was to try to hit the 20,000th post myself... but about 5 minutes prior to that I decided it would be MORE FUN for me and everybody in the thread to make a contest to see who could hit that post, and give away a nice prize.

That's when all hell broke loose, at least in my mind, anyway.

People saw TWO winners, results changing right before our eyes and I decided it wasn't fair to tell a guy that saw his post number change end up being a loser instead of a winner! So I gave away two prizes.

Then the Tapatalk results showed different winners on not one but SEVERAL phones... so I polled the results and no two were the same.

I made the decision to stick with the "official online thread"... then the PMS came POURING IN from people that were not posting in the thread, but present in the "room". People were DEMANDING that I post all the tapatalk results as well.

And the entire time...

Our poor friend ASH was fueling the fire.

I KNOW it wasn't his intention to fuel this fire, and believe me when I tell you, I have reread the thread about 15 times. He meant absolutely no harm.

But MEANING to do no harm and actually doing no harm can be two different things.

The more he posted the nastier the PMs became.

I asked ASH to let things go... then I TOLD him to let things go... Then I INSISTED... and ASH just kept going.

ASH, language barrier and all, was on a roll... Undaunted... he continued.

Was I heavy handed with him?

Yes I was...

Did I humiliate him...

Sadly, I did.

I just needed him to stop. Sooner than later.

He had NO WAY of knowing what was happening behind the scenes...

And yeah, I hit him pretty hard, and while I feel it was pretty awful of me to do... I had to make him stop.

So that being said...

ASH, I'm sorry... I was just trying to make the situation stop escalating, and I truly didn't mean to humiliate you in any way.

You are welcome in the thread, and I value your presence here.

So please accept my apology.
