Vamo Setup (Ohms and Wattage)

[Moggy]

Just interested to know what setup people use on their Vamo. Resistance of atty vs wattage/voltage.

Mono

Mono the beauty of VW is that the resistance of the atty doesn't matter. I set mine at 7.5 watts and whatever atty I put on it delivers the same vape

After the first couple of days of getting one, I have never used VV since, it seems a bit redundant. The only time I up the wattage on the Vamo is when I have double coiled something, you can get away with twice the power then before wicking issues when the wick cant cope with the demand. I can vape a double wicked Nova at 13 watts. I dont stop there because of burn taste, just cant cope with all the vapour lol.

When i had one, 8w or 4.5v

Depending on what juice i was using:)

if i use a cart at 2.0ohms i have it on about 4.9v so it rips my throat to bits.
The dripper at about 4.7v

I realise and fully understand that fella, I was just interested to know. I'm trying to pin down if its something I am doing that is causing mine to act up.

I noticed this morning that mine occasionally shows LoV with an 18650 batt I test on my multimeter at 4.1v. I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineer and I know my multimeter is spot on, I use it daily and I HAVE to have it calibrated every 6 months.

When it isnt playin up particularly badly, can you do a vamo voltage check on it at regular intervals to see if there is any variation from normal, ie normal battery voltage loss from vaping?

6w to 8w

I start new coils at 6w and as they age go up to 8w 8.5w is the maximum I go to before I need a new coil using a mini Vivi Nova.

Been running that comparison now. It jumps up and down from 3.9v to 4.1v...and while writing this it did 6 slow flashes, 3 fast flashes, then switched off. LOL

If it is switching off, it sounds like a bad connection at the battery side as opposed to the 510 connector side, but still difficult to definitely pin it down ??? But looking more and more like the control board is either down or has a bad connection. There are two little boards in the Vamo piggy backed, so it could be there.

Shows LoV, check on - button, 3.3v....wait 2 secs check again, 4.1. Grrrr That was after 2 draws of around 6-7 seconds. Im getting off my box on nic tho.

That kinda confirms it being the board which is where it must be getting it`s voltage from and not the 510 connector, what do you think Mono?

I never thought it WAS a 510 issue, either the board itself or as had been suggested a bad solder joint to the centre pin. I havent heard back from VB for 3 days now tho and its my day off so sitting at home with nothing to do but wait for postie and fiddle

Screen flashing permanently at about 1 sec intervals atm.

Slight shake and it stopped...then switched off. Battery is not loose.
