I usually get my batteries (AW IMR 2000mAh) from Lighthound for around $10.50/piece, but Altsmoke had a Veterans day sale and were slightly cheaper. Picked up 4 for the Provari and new Zmax.

That was awesome... still didn't clear up whether we can set the voltage and wattage at the same time. I say no, hubs says yes. He still doesn't like it but that's cool, that just means I won't have to fight with him for it!!

You're right, you can't set the voltage and wattage at the same time. In wattage mode, it sets the voltage all by itself.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue or not but there is a sweet spot with the vivi nova and the zmax body. Not tight enough it won't fire or too tight and it won't fire either. Oh and if my husband touches it 2 seconds later it won't fire then either. EXTREMELY touchy and I am not sure I like that. Anyone else experiencing anything similiar?
Sorry, I have never used a Vivi Nova... Did you check the center connector at the base of the Vivi? Does it protrude or is it flush with the threading? Do your other devices (cartos, atomizers) work OK on it? Put the display on to show ohms and see what it reads when this happens (I would assume an open - 9.9o on display).
Oh, and don't let Marvin touch it...

I use Vivi Novas on mine quite often and I've never had any problem with mine.
Enjoyed that. I've been using the vivi novas a fair bit with mine and now I know why I don't hear the "hum".
I didn't notice it with cartos either but I'll listen again next time.
Really appreciated what he flashed on the screen at 38:00 "Voltage regulation was also good. No noticeable drop in power over the course of the battery charge".
Nope, and I've used the vivis a lot with mine. Takes about 8 turns of the vivi to screw it on, then another half turn for me. I agree with DSY, check the ohms in menu 5 - it's the DR setting. If it says 9.90o its not connecting. Are you using better batteries now?
Also, did you buy Vision vivi novas?
ETA: if you are using these you have a knock off: http://www.easyvaping.com/35ml-Vivi-Nova-Variable-Clearomizer-_p_471.html
I'm using Vision vivi novas - they work really well, and are the original ones. This is a list of official USA distributors:

You'll see Mad Vapes is on there.

The center post in the Vivi Nova connector might be too far recessed. I believe you can adjust it with a screwdriver. Turn it to extend it out about a cm to see if that helps make contact.
a whole cm might be a tad too much as well as hard to achieve
A hair will work though!

I've seen where alot of people had to file down the center pin of the Vivi because it sticks out too far causing shorts. I haven't had any issues with my mini or regular one though so I dunno.
There are some knock off vivi novas out there that do this. I have one and have the same problem. But all of my other vivi novas, regular and mini work fine and I have them on 4 different devices now including a Zmax.
After reading all 188 pages of this thread, I can honestly say that I am excited. My Zmax is supposed to be here tomorrow! Thank you all for the great information.
Update:
My Zmax second version came to me Nov 1st and been using it since with efest 2000mah 18650 flat and button tops .
I only use several DID20 genesis type atty's and the Zmax to date has been flawless in it's operation to date.
I also upgraded from my tr-001 trustfire charger to a Xtar SP 2 charger .

Imagine my disappointment, my package due to be delivered today by the post office, no where to be found. I'm sure its sitting at the small town post office. happens all the time. just too much work for them to scan anything on a monday. grrrrrr
I'm really glad that I took the chance on the on sale gunmetal zmax last week, it's working perfectly for me. I'm in a coop for an SS clone which seems almost like excess now as this more than gets me through the day, but I am looking forward to that too.
