I made that comment to retird, not you natgas. He was self-admittedly stirring the pot at the time. As for "letting us" discuss the issues - who is "us"? I own a Zmax myself - I think I can post here and discuss too.

HE's BACK.........morning all....been off building another mod, so I gotta go back a few pages and get caught up on the posts...pass the popcorn...

I agree - he wasn't being berated. However I don't agree that the assumption can just be made. I've followed what happened just like others, and from what he told us he left it, came back and it had melted the edge of something. He didn't notice any firing when he put it down - so I don't see how it can be definitely said it was. That's all.
There was a guy in the "ask the veterans' forum a while back whose mod did something similar - not a Zmax, some kind of lavatube model I think. He didn't know why it happened and neither did the veteran responding. If we don't know something then we don't know.

'Scuse me? I never said it did or didn't - I said it may have been that or another reason. Sorry but you haven't read what I said if you think I made that statement. I said we don't know the reason for sure. We don't.
I haven't speculated at all muzichead - I think you are jumping to conclusions here, without reading what I said. I said it may have fired, it may have shorted, it may have been other things -we don't know. I never once said what it definitely was or wasn't. So you're doing the thing you're accusing me of here.
That's not true either. I've read the whole thread, and the posts over on the alpha thread and not taken issue with stuff. I did get into a bit of back and forth with one person (retird} because he just kept on. But no, I haven't had issues with owners pointing out quirks -I didn't have any issue with natgas coming in to say his heated up either.
I agree. I think you piled on at me tho without actually looking at what I did say.
Interesting as I think more than a few of us thought "you" were the one berating him, especially with the "human error" comment!!!!!! Also, no one "definitely" said it fired on its own.....only that that might be a "possibility"......
Well I agree with that too. So please don't think I attacked you personally because I didn't. But I did question the description of what happened as being conclusive.
Anyway - did I see you were getting another one? If so I hope it works well for you - nothing more of a bummer than expecting something in the mail and then after you get it something goes wrong. It's disappointing.
Well you thought wrong. And that certainly wasn't the tone I was using. Yes, there may have been user error - that's always a possiblity too. That was one possibility in a list. I mean - have you never had user error with a device? I have sometimes. I don't think it's a big deal to say it's a possibility among a list of other possibilities. And one person did say it definitely fired on its own. You seem to want to berate me - but I encourage you to read what I actually said.

Looks like they've got the v2 in stock there. I've never dealt with that vendor but I went ahead and ordered one to see how well the rms function works. I'll put it through it's paces just like I did with the V1 and let you guys know here.
Morning Solemn... great to see ya back...I never got a chance to thank you for doing all the testing you did on the Zmax...Thanks...looking forward to your V2 testing and review....
I should correct something.
I don't think you were being snippy, just plain rude.
See post #1252
After reading this you'll find the likeliest scenario is that natgas's Zmax did fire on it's own.
His Zmax wasn't shorted as I pointed out - a shorted atty connection wouldn't fire, it would generate an error code - unless the protection in the device had failed which is a lot worse than a button failure.
I don't recall you becoming a moderator here - nobody has to prove anything to anybody.
Natgas can speculate as much as he likes especially when you don't seem to have a problem speculating - why is it okay for you to speculate that his Zmax had a short and not okay for natgas to speculate that the button was firing on it's own?
Pure semantics - his update was his reply from MV which unfortunately didn't answer any pertinent questions but it was STILL an update.
If you're going to get upset every time someone says something you disagree with here then you're going to be upset quite a lot - it's a forum for discussion.
You're coming across as a bit of a bully.
I see that this vendor mentioned last night that they have v2.

Thank you! I haven't really been gone. Just lurking. Too busy to post. Trying to throw a website together and start doing more written reviews. 3 month old baby's been getting most of my spare time though!
Yep, you have your hands full....All this RMS, VRMS, etc. is greek to me, so I am thankful that folks like you can explain to folks like me....i always research a new mod before purchase...so I do alot of reading in ECF...THANKS again....back to building another Power Regulated mod....later....

Well I wasn't - so we'll just have to differ.
And it may have failed - we don't know. Sorry Dirk but I can't just take your explanantion as the only one. Something went wrong with for sure, but it's still speculation as to what.
Actually that is not what I said. I've said it may have fired, or shorted, or been a battery problem, or user error. I don't know what caused it - I haven;t said it was specifically any one thing. So please don't say I did that. natgas didn't just speculate. But that's been discussed already.
Not sure why you said that - I've never disagreed with it being an update as far as what Madvapes said. Not once.
Actually Dirk I wasn't upset, and I'm plenty used to forums. There's nothing bullying in what I said - that was unnecessary on your part there. I'm wondering if you are trying to bully me here a bit actually.
Looking forward to hearing your test results.
My 18 month old girl still takes up all my time (and wakes me up every night) lots of fun for you!
I am going to clarify this again:
Me: "That's not an update. He has admitted before he doesn't even know if it was firing -sorry but you can't make things up afterwards."
Dirk: "Pure semantics - his update was his reply from MV which unfortunately didn't answer any pertinent questions but it was STILL an update. "
My comment above was in reply to retird, not natgas. retird did not quote the madvapes update, and that's why I said it was not an update. Because what retird quoted wasn't. And I made that clear in a follow up post.
This is a forum for discussion. That's what I was doing. You are not a moderator either Dirk.

Yeah, I read a similar line of thought you posted somewhere - here or another thread, can't remember, previously. But I also read some thoughts from another poster which were compelling for it not being that too. Not discounting either of them but can't go definitely with one or the other myself right now.
Post #1241
The bit where you say "That's not an update" appears to slightly contradict what you've just said.
Oh please.
If it was a reply to retird then why did you quote natgas when you made it?
Add patronizing to your list of character traits.

No it doesn't contradict anything. The update from Madvapes was that they couldn't replicate what happened.
That's not what retird posted. We were having a discussion - which it seems now has to have everything run past you.
If you read what I responded to - retird did not post the update. And saying it kept firing was not the update. And saying it fired definitively isn't an update. natgas and I had previously discussed him saying it fired, back before these recent discussions, and he had said he didn't know for sure. So there's the contradiction.
