Same for me. I spent most of today vaping with the Zmax and vivi novas actually.

I broke my Zmax this morning after it rolled off my lap when I got up out of my easy chair, it took about 100 drops to finally break it. It was just the ground wire that broke so it will be an easy fix after I get a soldering iron but for now I will be switching to my Vamo I got for a backup. It is great to have backups and I've got backups for the backups!:D

Imagine having to step DOWN to a Vamo. You poor man! LOL!

Hey, yours is faring better than mine, I've had my Gunmetal v2 Zmax for 4 months now (2 months of all day/ everyday use) and it looks quite rough. As a power plant it works great, but sometimes I have to push the button pretty hard for it to fire. Aesthetically however, the black chrome is not holding up very well. The bottom cap has worn much like the picture above, you can see the SS wearing through. The tube is another story entirely, both of the acid etched logos are wearing away revealing the brass/copper underneath. Around the groove edges its starting to show some yellow undercoat, maybe a primer, I'm not sure. As it was my first step into the world of vaping, it has done quite well. But I would definitely recommend going with the SS version.

Does anyone else have issues with wattage changing itself? I'll be using mine and take a puff at 8.5 and the next puff will have it set to 11.0
I have experienced similar action but found that it was me doing it by not continuously holding the fire button down, I was unintentionally accessing the menu and changing it. This may not be what's happening with yours but I think you will find that this is the cause.
