its more of two motions but it still shouldnt be like that, When we cant Help Jason and Mike will get it sorted
Now that was with magnets Right?
I tried mine with no spring in it and the V drop is about what you would expect with a SS switch. So this shouldn't be that big a deal. It isn't like Altsmoke didn't figure out the hot spring years ago, and that's basically all we are dealing with here.
yes that was with the magnets, but one of them broke today. so back to the spring to I get paid and order another.. thing just shattered.
whats this gold plated finger washer im seing on page 33. that sounds promising
soooo got vapemail today. here are my latest results.. alot more pleased w/ the zen but i think it can still use some optimization...
First off...
2.58 ohm atty
4.17 V battery
Z2 switch - 3.77
Steammonkey Switch 3.99
Added magnets to Z2 switch - Kept arking and when fired was just as bad as original if not at times worse
Now, i will wait for the replacement spring from ENS and will also go to hardware store to see if i can pick up any flat brass screws for better contact for both.

glad to see thinks are working better. I had magnets in mine and had no arcing,worked pretty good till one broke, well split into like 6 pieces. what are the differences between the sm switch and the zen? have you tried switching parts between to two to see where the drop could be coming from in the zen switch. I have some drop in mine and in the same boat. one thing I did was file a nice flat spot on the screws, both top and bottom screw..
There is nothing wrong with a slot (or Philips screw pattern) on the surface of a contact. We have been doing that to contacts for many-many years to help promote cooling, and reduce pitting.
Evening ZENFITS
Getting into using the carto tank with a boge XL LR carto with 70vg/30pg mix and am getting little to no vape on a 18350 aw imr. It's a new carto and I watched a few videos on how to fill a carto and I have had it soaking for like a week now and still same light to none vapeany advise? And any word on the 24k plating fix that "was supposed" to happen? The Gen. Rocks socks though
BUMP.... For any advice?
yeah i would like too know the difference between the Steammonkey switch too that seems really odd. it could be better just because the contacts are newer maybe?
I didn't file it that much. just a bit, for a little more contact surface. is working decent now. still have to use a kick with a boge carto for a decent vape.
I've never been a fan of LR (2ohm) cartos/tanks on a 3.7v PV. The cartos just don't last. A SR (3ohm) carto/tank on a VV PV at 4.5-5v is a different ball game tho'.
And, those lazer drilled cartos at ENS are as good as it gets.

my boges aren't lasting that long, bout 15ml and there not so good. I will say they are leaps and bounds were they were 8 months ago. im a big 801 guy. just love the 01 and the z2 carto vapes a lot like a 801, as far as draw and vapor, better taste then a801. im goin to try some carto's from somewhere else when they get in stock, also emailed them about a lr flangless carto. they have a great 1.7-1.8ohm flanged carto. wish that had is flangless.
Why I say 3 ohm on a vv.... (or a Kick)
I only have one 3 ohm lazar drilled Boge 510 going anymore. (all my other PV's have drippers on them) It's on an old VV box mod that I made, which is set at 4.5v. The J-tank has High Caliber Cappuccino in it, and the carto has had at least 50 ml of juice put through it.
ENS also has lazer drilled 801's

They are cartos, Zen didnt reinventthe wheel he just found a better place to put it
The switch is a 2 motion Function make sure you take it apart and clean every part if its been arching get some of the real autobody (not kitchen) Scotchbrite (alot of hardware stores have it too ) it will be Burgandry in color and make sure everything is clean and smooth .... everclear or high alcohol content vodka is grat for cleaning

if your kick is getting warm use the burgandy scotchbrite on it ( sandpaper on it and switch) also alot of the kicks came with posts tweaked to the side good, clean, straight contacts and key .... I have a couple extra seg kicks if anyone needs one
Got Sum Zen mail today so I did alil "outta the Box " video (my first video )

One thing you might try is just to ensure the carto is installed snug (you don't have to over tighten it) but I do find with my killer that I have to snug it down from time to time. Hope it helps...
Thanks Iowa Gal,
Started feeling like my question was falling on def ears
anyways..... It's snug alright but it's just not as strong as the RBA vape I get from the ZEN~2 Gen. or my Noble 1 so until I can figure out this carto thing I'm sticking with my trusted RBA's Thanks again
