I got my dx490 yesterday and swapped out the switch for my carto, works better and not using the kick. My questions are though: it came with a black o-ring, what is that for? and what is a good charger for 350 batteries? I thought mine would charge it but the battery is too small. Thanks friends.
Nitecore i4.....................best charger peroid. And only about 25 bucks. ENS has them
are you using single or dual coil ? have you tried lower cartos ?
Happy Birthday Tiff 
mmmmmmmm Loooks great classsy
Yes the I4 nitecore does 18350's and lots more

That doesn't sound right at all. I just checked my shockwave and saw the same .75 volt drop under load that I do with zens.
AMEN !!!!
whats worse is everytime a new Zen device comes out a few of the Zenfidels even Join the Bandwagon ....................
I'll be back when the Wave dissipates out of respect for Jason and Mike's thread
Yes that test is somewhat unfair, as it basically shows the current limiting spring in action...limiting current, however the same user wrapped a coil above 1.5ohm and still noticed a HUGE voltage drop, relative to other more conductive mods.
It's become obvious zenfidels live inside some type of reality distortion field, where things such as poor conductivity (causing reduced battery life) are desirable traits of a personal vape.

Ha!
My z2 with 490 tube is great. Hits fine on my ZattyU and several other Atties including my foggy to an hh357 to an igo-l to a carto from ENS
The design is the design. It comes with certain performance limitations. Maybe you got a lemon (even happens with ferraris) or maybe it's user error. Whatever it is if I don't have the same issue I can't help you and I won't agree with any slander you try to sling
Contact Jason or zen. If someone here can help then they will. If they can't it isn't indicative of any fanboy ism it's because we can't help.

Love you, too, newb!!!
I gave you some very good information on why this is so by posting video links. The thing is, all of the sub ohm folks don't seem to understand the impact an explosion is going to have on the vaping community as a whole. They can say they don't want to be told what to do, but their actions will affect us all. There are two USA modders in that video providing information that is factual, and not based on some limited knowledge on how high amps can react in a cylindrical tube. I'd much rather listen to their opinions than a few good ole boys who think they know a thing or two about the type of batteries we currently use in our devices. Matt clearly states in the video that tube mods and sub ohm vaping are a bad idea, and if that is your desire, you should consider a box mod with a dna 20. Then there is the problem that you have young wanna be cool kids watching these hot shot videos and imitating what they see.
I really don't understand why you felt the need to post this stuff over here. If you don't like the device, that is your prerogative. Going around the forum spouting off information without really having complete knowledge of what you are talking about does not do any one any good.

Well I'll just repost this here.
Now granted I haven't done anything to my DX 490, and it's a new PV, but!
The out of the box numbers don't lie. The hit is about the same as an old eGo.

All I know is that my old 14650 Mako and 18490 Reo both blow my new DX 490 out of the water. Very disappointed!
I'm not using anything fancy or outrageous, just dripping with the same old Joyeteck atties that I've always used.
Under load with fresh bats
Mako ... 3.89v
Reo ... 3.71v
DX 490 ... 3.31v

I bet you got a bad spring, TJ. change it out.
You didn't say what resistance your coil is at though. That may help us help you
Their just LR 510-T atties modified for dripping. They're rated at 2 ohms, but normally measure out in the 1.7ohm range.
I bought a "Used ZAP" and the Top Cap is really loose ! I put a new top cap o-ring (3/4 OD 1/2 ID X 1/16) in it and it's still really loose. I checked the "Zen FAQ" thread and did find a list of the O-ring sizes but only the standard sizes. Anyone know what size I should be looking for to "Tighten Up The Cap Fit" I assume it would be the same "OD & ID" but the 1/16 size would need to be increased. But, To What ? Also would be nice if someone could tell me "Where To Look" (Link) for them !
Thanks In Advance

I B Brett, try a wrap or two of unflavored dental floss underneath the o-ring.
