oh interesting! is your Auber smart switch compatible? I have one (bought oct 2024) that isn't but I'd be happy to hook it up to the zx to see what happens if that would be helpful

I'm sure it's not a smart switch. It was working! Wonderfully. Then it wasn't. I was thinking it was my pid but my cannabis hardware head works just fine with it. Plug in the z, get the H
I get an H on my Auber only when i plug in either one of my cobra coils and it takes a small turn on the plug going into the controller and it works. I think the pins are too small and don't make full contact unless the barrel plug is clocked correctly. Here is a link to a pdf from Auber with some info about the H code at the bottom of the last page.I'm sure it's not a smart switch. It was working! Wonderfully. Then it wasn't.

Well that didn't work. Thanks though. Im just hoping @invertedisdead sees this. I really like the device. I wasn't really expecting this though

I can verify that my Auber PID works with my new ZX. Here are photos:I'm sure it's not a smart switch. It was working! Wonderfully. Then it wasn't. I was thinking it was my pid but my cannabis hardware head works just fine with it. Plug in the z, get the H
I'm not sure why the first photo isn't displaying all the digits. in real life it was a normal heatup cycle. Then for giggles i unplugged the zx and turned the auber pid on again. I got the H as shown in the second photo.
I am no pid expert, but this suggests to me that the H is an XLR connection error. Maybe the XLR jack on the ZX is a little out of spec? I suppose the pid jack could be out of spec too. Are all the pins on the ZX XLR jack the same length and width? do you have any other pids or ball vapes you can use to try to see if the error happens more on the zx side or the auber side? finding a second pid that fails with the zx or a second ball vape that fails with the auber could narrow it down?

Yeah it works just fine with my cannabis hardware. If worked flawlessly for like an hour

Ed’s TNT handle is perfect. I opted for the shorter version. It’s really nice. I’d like to find a better stand also.

I ordered one. Then canceled it until I can figure out why mine doesn't work.

I do but it's not an Auber. When I plug my old cannabis hardware head it works like a champ so I can only assume it's the ZX. The ZX worked for a couple sessionsThe Qaroma porcelain stands are really nice, but they're essentially a purpose-made coffee mug:

Snagged a second hand XL to accompany the lil brother 
The bowl is bigger than I anticipated and thick!
I’ll get up to go cash & reload the ZX bowl from my table. No need to with the XL. Still experimenting after only a few bowls but will probably run this at a little lower temp than the smaller guy.

NIce! Glad you found one! I run mine pretty low, 475-520F. There's a clear demarcation where the flavor turns (maybe 540-ish? Idr), which fortunately is a good ways after you get a nice, full roast. It's really a amazing injector.Snagged a second hand XL to accompany the lil brother

Absolutely f'kin love my zxl. As you've discovered, the bowl is a brute! I swear it would be dangerous stuffed in the end of a sock! Enjoy those massive hits full of flavour! I've never found the top end of the scale for flavour, I've never felt the need! I'm expecting the zxxl to be equally as good and I'm looking forward to trying it!

My friend brought his pid by. Same "H" error code? I haven't heard from Shawn.
I really hope we can figure this out. This was the best vape experience id ever had until the error. I was about to buy a T shirt! Long shot but I'm thinking on looking for someone to work on the actual unit locally for a bad connection or something. Or maybe Shawn could just mail me a new head unit and I'll mail him the faulty one. I just want him t to get ahold of me. I suppose I need to find my chee

Sounds like a bad cable. Not sure who Shawn is though. I assume you already emailed Ryan?My friend brought his pid by. Same "H" error code? I haven't heard from Shawn.

Yeah Ryan! Thanks. I have. I'm unsure of what turnaround time is for customer service. I'm sure he's got a lot more than just me going on

I’m considering a Auber but it appears to be sold out. What’s the advantage of using the Auber with the ZX
vapereyez

If you get a good coil they work great. I'm no expert but they seem pretty robust. Mine has been chugging along a few years. Now the benefits of an Auber over a cheaper branded version or even if they make them I couldn't tell you

For the zx there isn't any real benefit in my opinion. The auber has an auto off feature but cannot be used with a smart plug. The 300B has a boost mode which is nice with an enail banger, but for the zx just a constant temp is needed and they all do that.

The main advantage is that you have a big knob to control the temperature with instead of having to fiddle with pressing up and down buttons. Therefore making it easier to dial in temperatures easier.
You can disable auto-off. And the newest firmware allows you to disable the power button too.
