Dropped my Zmax Ver 2

I dropped my Zmax Ver 2 today on my tile floor in my kitchen. It got a couple little dents, nothing major, but I think the internals shifted or something. It still fires and the menu system still works, but whenever I push the button to fire I can feel and hear the battery moving inside. Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone think that this could be a danger in any way? Thanks

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the button does not stick out as far as it originally did.

 

Sorry to ask again, but does anyone think this it is a danger in any way to continue to use it?

 

You should be fine to keep using it. As long as it's still firing the protection in the IC should still be in place.

 

Thanks Chaos!

 

Actually, I think I would pull the battery and look inside the tube. If the battery connector has broken loose, you will want to remove the board and solder it back. What I've read thus far leads me to believe that issue can cause the switch to overheat and fail. Sometimes when the switch fails, it will constantly fire even with the cutoff. Just some thoughts. Don't want you to damage it beyond repair.

 

When I look down the tube, if I apply any pressure to the button I can see the internals move from side to side. I will Probably continue to sideline the Zmax until I can attempt to fix it. Luckily I got it heavily discounted at the Madvapes store here in Charlotte during their Black Friday sale.

 

MadVapes is a great place to have around, that's for sure. I know they do not have at least one guy still there that was the counter guy in the past.

Regarding the ZMax, you can remove the top cap as it is just pressed in. May be from there you can get better access. Some hot glue or silicone can shore the internals up really well.

 

Cool, I will give it a shot.
