Turning of the zmax v5 ?

[intheblim]

Hi just bought a zmax v5 and am ok with 5 clicks to turn it on but but when i do 5 clicks to turn it off after the 3rd click it goes in to the menu and i just cant seem to hit the 5 clicks to turn it off - i can disable power out by going in to menu number 1 and selecting out off but this does not actually close down the zmax altogether - can anyone help me please ?

That's the extent of it on the Zmax intheblim . . . the only way you'll disable it completely is to remove the battery.

Ok thanks so is it safe to be in the "out off" mode overnight ?

Mine always have been . . . I don't turn them off at all if I'm to be honest. Most of these devices have in built protection and if you're using good batteries/charger there's little chance of them venting.

As it's not being stored in a pocket or some such either, there's little risk of it being switched on accidentally. But if you're really bothered, take the battery out.

I'm the same.  The only time I turn the output off is when I put them in my handbag

Can you also tell me what RMS or MEAN voltage means please and would i should have it set on ?

You need to have it set on rms and I haven't a clue what it means, I think rms is accurate output and mean is average. I thought you could turn the device off by the first option in the menu

[Perpetua]

RMS gives you a regulated power input whereas MEAN is what the device thinks you ought to have . . . which can lead to too much power being inputted, resulting in burnt eliquid.

I don't know why these devices are made with both as nobody advises or seems to use the MEAN setting.
