There was another case of this happening recently and the suspected cause was the bushing that the positive post sits in. It was suspected that this bushing had "blew" and was causing a direct short between the positive and negative connections of the head.

doesn't it mean Low Ohm Atomizer?
you may have to play with the center post. Or, it could be broken for good.
Hope some1 swings through to help further. You may want to search youtube as well.
GL!

thanks for the replies. I hope that is not the case because this thing literally has a few hours use at most.
Not much help here. This cannot be that unusual. Has happened to me a few times but then it works fine after I hit the button again. Time for the google solution!
I just threw a .5 ohm atty on my Zmax, it just refused to fire and the display showed 0.5
I thought maybe it only threw error codes during a hard short, so I took a screwdriver and hard shorted the center pin to the side of the 510 connection, it just refused to fire and the display showed 0.0
So either Smoktech changed the chip (which is possible, my zmax is a bit old, I got it when the v2s with RMS first came out) or it's not a shorting issue you have. If it's not a shorting issue, I don't know what to say, I've never seen that before on my Zmax.
If it is a short between the 510 connection, the top cap of the zmax can be removed fairly easily if you have access to a vise or large locking pliers. The cap can just be pulled off, but be careful not to yank the cap far away from the device when detached, as you will break the wire that leads from the center pin to the circuit board.
Once you have the cap off it should be very easy to replace the rubber boot around the center pin. You could probably do it with the cap on, it would just be more of a hassle.
