The ZMax will be limited to standard ohm (over 1 ohm) builds due to amp limits and protective circuitry in the circuit board.
The ohms will not be limited with the K-100 since it is a mechanical mod with no circuit board. Personally, I do not recommend coil resistances below 0.3 ohm. Variances in ohm readers/multimeters and human error leave little room for error and safety. 0.0 ohm represents a dead short, which will send your battery into meltdown mode (thermal runaway) no matter how good a battery that you have.
You must own a multimeter if you build your own coils. Coils must have their resistance (ohm rating) checked before they are fired on the mod. Coil resistance must not pull more amps from the battery than the battery has, or the battery will go into thermal runaway. Ohm's Law Calculator
You must know the amp rating of your battery. This is critical. The battery must be a high drain battery. IMR (Li-Mn) with an adequate amp rating for the application that you are using it. For the most safety for sub ohm coils a 30 amp battery is strongly recommended.

I have a couple of Sigelei ZMAX's. The lowest resistance they will fire is 1.3 ohm.
The K100 can handle any resistance build you'll do on it. The battery has to be able to take it though. That's the limiting factor for a good mechanical mod.
Here's a list of batts; SubOhmChart.pdf. Basically, pick a battery that is in the yellow range for the lowest resistance you will build and you will be OK. Just be careful not to short the battery or it will vent.
Whatever battery you get for this application will do you fine for the regulated mod. The Sony US18650VTC5 is a great choice. It's so new it's not in that chart. It has the same 30A max discharge capability but it has 2600 mAh capacity so it will last longer between charges.
AW IMR's are good batteries, but I don't know what the zmax takes in terms of button tops or flat tops.
Here is where I bought my first Sony VTC4's. They also have the purple Efest 35amp batteries on there. Right on the front page of the site .Eciggity!
They also have the Sony VTC5's in stock. Comes with a case as well! I found mine a bit cheaper looking through the deals on Vapor Joe;s site. Not sure if there are any deals up at the moment, but you can browse and see if you can find some. Here - http://.........blogspot.com
