what gauge wire do you h
ave? Anything besides 36 gauge tends to be too big to snap the caps on.
It is going to be 32, I will Dremel out them as needed in the next few minutes. It does work quite well straight out of the box
Note that the Ego collar is in the Zmax drip well otherwise there is a small gap (on just for photo shoot) It certainly looks tightView attachment 144679

I decided to hold off on re coiling, reason: it is working amazingly well so I may just wait awhile.
And that positive post is really fragile looking, almost scary

oh i forgot about his review lt me know how the dremel works I just happend to 36 gauge wire when poeple figured out that it works the best
I do have some 36 and may end up using it with 2mm wick as that is a pretty small place in which to put a "proper" coil.

I ended up putting a 34g coil on 2mm slica @ 2.4 ohms, it very well might be my best performing device.

So did you get ver. 2 ?


Tapatalking from iPhone

Don't think the version 2's are in the wild yet.

Just seen these on Alibaba - Chinese copies of Chinese mods

They have the 8th menu and oled screens -there are two different companies manufacturing them.

There's a weird Lava/Zmax hybrid called a "Vamo" which is also vari watt.

It's like they've smelled blood.

Let the bashing begin!!!!! Wouldn't it be really funny if they perform to spec? I would tend to doubt it as nothing from China performs as advertised, but if it did it could get real ugly around here!!!!!

Is it just me or does the "Vamo" look like its eyeballing me????????

natgas has always been polite with nice posts and he had a legitimate issue with his Zmax.
There have been a couple of other folks who have had their Zmax's firing on their own so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that this is what happened to natgas too.

Sure - it may have. It may not have too - that's all I was saying.

His update was his reply from MV.

Are you not allowed to post any issues you have with the Zmax unless they're verified by an electronics engineer?

I think you're being a little too snippy.

I think you are actually - since I never said that.

*edit*
If there is the slightest possibility that natgas's Zmax did fire on it's own then there's nothing irresponsible about his posts - they could save someone from sustaining an injury.

I wasn't talking to natgas with that comment - I was talking to retird. I even quoted retird's post to make that clear. So this is a bit off here. All I am saying to natgas is if we don't know then dont say like it was definite - because it may also have shorted.
