It is owned by Danish citizens and the site is in Danish (many other languages also) but they live and ship from Spain. Transactions are charged in Dutch Kroners. You found the correct site. If you buy from them PM me for a 10% discount code from a Danish forum.

Ok, thank you! Still in doubt if I will buy or wait....reading and making up my mind
ps: it is not Dutch Kroners but Danish Krone ;)

No problems with my V2 standing up. A mini version would be nice - haven't heard anything but maybe one is on the stocks? I got mine from timeast, delivered to the UK in 4 days, so definitely worth considering if you are outside the USA.

Did you choose DHL or registered airmail?

Oops got to catch up... Hey Freddieeee!

Just saying I've had my SS Z for about 2 weeks.... was wondering if this baby hits like the Vmax (like .7v more than what). Seems like it.
I have it on P (watts) and at 8.0 it blew out a 2.0 HH357 in no time at all.
When i first got it I didn't know what "P" meant and I was vaping at P 3.5 for LR attys.... lol.

I am like a blind man using these things.

They fit fine in mine... maybe my spring is softer?
Anyone using stacked Efest 18350s with the extension cap? If so, does it seem like a REALLY tight fit? I can barely engage the threads without applying so much force I'm afraid I'll break the solder joint on the positive post inside ...

Really?

I did make a minor alteration to my spring when someone else pointed out a potential hazard, which fixed the hazard and gave the spring a little less tension.

The spring isn't coiled properly and you need to take one end and bend in it's point so it's facing downward.

If you've been using either spring "as it came", you should notice that the bottom of your battery(s) are forming a circular channel from the spring wear. That open point is carving a channel into the bottom of your battery every time you screw on the cap.

Bending that open point downward through the spring's center will prevent your spring from rupturing your battery and will relieve a little bit of tension.

Hope this helps a little on yours, it did on mine. :)

Does anybody has the issue to have 0.00 ohms displayed and no firing? This is with all attys which otherwise work great on other devices.

Are you screwing them on too tightly and creating a hard short in the connector? The atty should only be put on until you feel resistance and then about 1/4 more turn at the most.

On Zmax version 2
LOR =Atomizer/cartomizer resistance to low
LOU= Battery voltage too low
WSC=Short circuit in faulty atomizer/caromizer

What I posted is what the display shows when the device is set to display resistance when you hit the fire button. Here is a photo of it with no atty attached (not a good photo but you can see it is displaying 9.9o).
