Someones not going hungry!

From electronicstix.com


"Note: If you currently own a Zen 2 threaded top cap and would like to upgrade to the new style, there will be an inexpensive kit very shortly. It is currently in production and will ship with details instructions on how to do the upgrade yourself."


For the low, low price of $29.64....

is that a glass tank? where did you grt it, how is it. looking for one for my R91..

That's a plastic m tank. I got the frosted ones for my Russians, and the clear ones for my kfl. The frosted ones are all over eBay, and I got my clear ones from fasttech; dirt cheap, good quality and works like a charm. The russian with the frosted m tank matches my zna really well IMO.

So.... Question.

I'm fairly new to drippers, and I received my trident v2 today. Figured it'll be a good start to my journey into dripping. 0.6 ohms, 17 watts.

I'm a chain vaper when I'm watching tv, and I realized midway that my trident was really REALLY warm/hot, and the heat kinda got conducted to the body of the zna. I mean, the rda was hot, but the body of the zna was considerably warm.

I guess my question is, is that supposed to be normal..? I'm using the same sony vtc5 on it as I was on my nemmy, and that didn't really get that warm. I just don't wanna end up damaging the zna. Any input is appreciated

With a similar setup I have never experienced this. Yes the dripper will get warm, but if your battery tube is getting warm I would be concerned.

Also another question (hahaha apologies for the barrage), does anyone use the Panasonic NCR18650PD with their zna30? I've seen a review that talks about how the battery cap can't screw on fully when using it. Wondering if that's just that particular unit.

If not, any recommendations for other button top batteries? Looking for as high mah rating as possible. 10A limit is fine, since I rarely draw more than 7A anyway. All flat tops don't work with my unit, and I am reluctant to use the button top converter.

Hmm. Well crap. Not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong then :/

Is the battery warm when you remove it? Try a different battery, try a above subΩ build. I just don't see a way for the battery tube to heat up without something going on with the battery.

Oh the battery itself isn't warm. Maybe a sliiiiiight tad above room temp, but that's it. Also just to clarify, it isn't really that the entire battery tube is warm. It's particularly for the section near the top cap. I do think it's more of a case of the metal top cap and battery tube conducting heat from the dripper, since my trident gets pretty damn hot after maybe 10 long drags.

Just posting to follow the thread. Love my ZNA. Currently paired with the Link. Fantastic, except for battery life. Even at 1.2ohms at 16watts it isnt as good as my Vapor Shark with the same build. Its all good though, its sexy as can be and changing batteries from my chair is no problem.

Is this sort of battery life w/ the ZNA par for the course? I'm surprised that the ZNA with an 18490 doesn't hang with the VS's 1200mah liPo; but, then again, I know nothing about battery technology and the capacities are nearly equivalent.

It's normal, they use different batteries. The VS uses a nano-tech 1200mah Lipo with a 15C constant discharge rating. The ZNA with the stock tube uses a AW 1100mah IMR with a 10C constant discharge rating.

Higher C rating and slightly higher mah means the Lipo isn't being taxed as much.
