Ive got two Z2 mods, both of which I really like. But Ive noticed the switch, if it has the gold plated phillips head bolt, can be a little tricky.
Try switching the gold screw for the brass upgrade kit.

Im pretty sure my brass Z2, which has a brass switch, came with this as opposed to the gold phillips, because it doesnt look the same as my Gun Metal switch, which DOES have the gold phillips. My brass switch has a hex head screw, unknown metal, I assume brass. Its got a flat ring around the hex head which is what makes contact, its less finicky for sure.
Also, and moreso than the switch's screw, what I have found to make the biggest difference, is using only AW IMR batteries, any other ones Ive tried are either more finicky, or taller etc etc. The AW IMRs have been great. I use both the 18650 1600mah and the 18350 ?mah. and the other thing is, when firing the switch, it requires a firm, delibrate push.
once you get comfortable with your Zen2, I think you'll love it. I bought a second Z2 after only have my Gun Metal Altus for a few days because I really liked the whole idea of the Z2 lineup, AND the vapes I was getting. Yes, the switch can be finicky, but sort it out, and she hits hard. On my Altus, Ive got a 400x400 mesh wick which is tightly rolled, and fits the wick hole very snug, with a 3-4 wrap of 28g Kanthal, and then a piece of 1mm silica wrapped around the mesh to aid wicking and saturation. Its a hell of a vape. Im gonna get a second top cap and drill the airhole a little bit, because that is the only thing holding back the veritable fog machine that this thing is right now. And my second Zen is pulling duty with a 510 cap and an Igo-L, 3mm silica and a 3-4wrap of 28g. Another fogger, but again, needs more air hole.
Im sold on Hybrids/Mechs, the Z2 line sucked me in hardcore. Aside from my Provari, my VV/VW mods have just been sitting.
