vamo getting really hot

[summerof0763]

Hi today have noticed top part of vamo and my vivi nova are really hot, only got vamo on 3.5w and its hot, normally have it higher without it going hot.
Anyone any ideas as to why it's hot, not doing anything any different from normal

3.5 watts what ohms is the atty reading on the vamo

Have you had the spring replaced, is it just the base of the vamo?


sorry edited to add that you said the top of the vamo. sorry

What do you mean? Lol I don't have a multi meter
But normally vape at 5.0 w and no problems but notoiced vamo was really hot so lowered to 3.5w and every time I vape vamo and nova are really hot to touch

The spring wont cause the top to get hot.

I suspect the 510 connector is dirty and causing increased resistance. Clean the connector on the vamo and on the atty, an alcohol wipe is good for this.

it sounds like it on 3.5 v not w cant realy see it getting hot on 3.5 w ive never vaped as low as that

Summer can you try a different atty?

[bomberharris]

the button on the right hold it in for a few seconds and it will give you the ohms reading of the atty it will have a horse shoe sign above it

Press the right small button for 3 seconds it will tell you the resistance.

I dont think it has been said before, check it is on mode2 as well ie NO2. It can be pretty unpredictable on mode1 (average). Make sure you try a different atty, the way that the coils are wired and connected does leave a bit of scope for a bad/dirty connection.

Try testing the vamo without an atomiser, switch on as if vaping a few times and see it gets warm.

Funny I did check I am on no2 thought I had maybe pressed it while in my hand, but definitely on o2
