I received my Zmax V2 today and here is my first thought about it.
The short cap and the extended cap both have the long spring, my chrome v1 short cap came with a short spring, I will fix that later.
If I change from stacked 18350's to 18650 and do it fast enough that the memory is held it doesn't fire but displays "LOU".
After reducing wattage setting it fires for a moment at the higher setting.
They fixed the threads problem nicely, fit and finish is much improved.
Regarding 8th menu, works as they say it does.
Pretty nice but I will probably continue using my Vmax v1 as my workhorse.
Do I like it, yes, this is how it should have been done the first time but then it wouldn't have generated all the buzz about being "beastly"
Additional: The body and battery cap is magnetic but the 510 end appears to be of a higher grade stainless as it is not magnetic. I thought it might be plated brass but that is not the case, I'm impressed.
I won't be wearing those threads out like I eventually do with the 510 shorty's.
EDIT: I should have removed the batteries and spring as all of the Stainless steel is non magnetic
