Got my ZMAX v3 help please?

[Motorheaded]

Cheers @Mawsley and @breakbystealth yes I was having a time of it I'm gettin the hang of it now and oh yes it's good loads and loads of vapor @Mawsley I don't think Il ever get into the whole coiling and wicking I'd like to but no clue where to start and volts ohms and amps don't like me so I'd probably feck it up

Youtube is your friend Ninj.
I can't wait to get building coils. Fasttech has other plans for me though.

Motorheaded yeah but wouldnt i need a voltmeter as well

 

[breakbystealth]

thats the joy on the vamo, will tell you how many ohms your at. to be fair 6 wraps with .20 wire will come out around 2.3 to around 2.6 ish i have found.... its nice to be able to know the exact ohms to be fair

Coiling and wicking is a LOT easier than most people imagine.

You've got the first thing you need (a resistance checker) change the settings on the ZMax go to option 5 LCD Display. Then you can cycle through Voltage (tells you what power level you're vaping at when you hold the fire button) Resistan (Tells you the resistance of the attached atomiser when you hold the fire button) and Battery (tells you how much power is left in the battery (fresh batteries start at 4.1v and it'll cut out somewhere around 3.3v)

The next thing you need is some resistance wire and wick then you need something to rebuild.

About the easiest thing to learn to rebuild on is a dripping atomiser like an IGO-L and there are a ton of videos on Youtube to explain how to do it, it's much easier than it looks.

Edit to add: No you don't need a voltmeter - the volts are always between 3.4v and 4.1v for a single battery. All of the regulated devices like a vamo or a zmax or an svd etc etc take the volts output of the battery and smooth it out.

If you're in Voltage mode then the device takes whatever it gets from the battery and makes it into whatever voltage you set it to.
If it's in Wattage mode the device checks the resistance of the atomiser, calculates what voltage it needs to be at to give you Xwatts and then delivers that voltage. It does it lots of times a second as well to keep things consistent.

when you are rebuilding coils for a regulated device all you care about is Ohms to start with (you can get more advanced and start caring about wicking and surface area and heat and things later on if you want, but sticking with just ohms is good enough for most of the time)

thanks a lot VaperCaper il look into it

Ordered a Smoktech Scar last night, to start getting into it. I must admit to being put off by the mesh atties. Looks too much of a pfaff!
Perhaps dripping will reduce the need for me stock-piling clearos. lol

Come on Ninj, we'll learn together.

A smoktech scar? You've lost me already I am intrigued though

can people who know this stuff tell me where i can get dripping atomisers that are good and wont break the bank and most of all are easy to get started with wicking and coiling and what tools il need - wire and wicks etc?
il check into these smoktech scars thanks Motorheaded or is it heisenberg

Watch the evod rebuilding videos on YouTube ninja. Just type in evod and there are loads and it's very easy even for an idiot like me.

It's a dual coil, so the resistances have to match.
Maybe not athe easiest option, but not too scary.
Youtube will walk me through it.
