vamo guide

[flavourtank]

I'm sure I've seen a thread on this but tried searching and can't see it.

Just received my vamo and no instructions

Please could someone just give me a step by step on what the buttons do and what set up would be good, I will be using a vivi nova with 2.4ohm coil

Thank you

Basic Vamo V2 Operating Instructions:

Note: when you first put a battery in, the display screen might flash on & off, the unit is NOT on.
You must click the larger “fire” button quickly 5 times to turn the Vamo on, and off manually.

Battery(s) goes into unit positive (+) side first.

Screw on end cap.

Press larger button 5 times quickly to turn unit on / off.

*** Important ***
Press and hold either left button (-) OR right button (+) 10 seconds to switch to >
*** RMS mode (NO2) – RECOMMENDED ***

AVG mode (NO1) – For advanced users only!
AVG (NO1) mode will burn the crap out of your e juices!

*** RMS mode (NO2) mode is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE! ***

Press right button (+) to increase voltage (v), left button (-) to decrease voltage
(Or wattage, depending on which mode you have set)

Press and hold the smaller right button (+) 2 seconds for ohm reading of atomizer/cartomizer.

Press and hold the smaller left button (-) 2 seconds for remaining voltage of internal battery.

Press and hold both right and left button (- and +):
for 3 seconds to switch from voltage output & wattage power.

Voltage is variable from 3.0 volts to 6.0 volts, in .1 increments
Wattage is variable from 3.0 watts to 15.0 watts, in .5 increments

*** The newer Vamo V3 only has one mode which is RMS ***



Vamo V2 Safety Features:

- 10 second cut-off

- Low voltage cut off 3.2v OR short circuit – screen will display LOv

- If ohm is too low or volt/watt too high (screen will display LOohm)

- Reverse or Incorrect battery installation protection.

Low Battery: When a single battery is used, if voltage is less than 3.2v or dual 18350 batteries voltage is less than 6.4v, the screen will display LOv, which indicates that the batteries need to be recharged.

Atomizers at 1.2ohm or less, the screen will display LO ?, which indicates that you need to use a new atomizer at higher resistance.

Error Codes:
LO-? – Atomizer resistance is too low (below 1.3 ohms).
LO-v – Atomizer shorted

It should work well with most atoimizers with 510 and eGo connections and in variable wattage mode it should adjust well to suit most resistance atomizers (above 1.2 ohms) The Vamo has a 1.2 ohm cut off below. CE4 clearomizers fit fine, and just about any Ego tank will fit. How-ever, to use a Kanger T2, T3 or MT3 you will need a 510-Ego adapter.

Cleaning The Vamo V2:
Q Tip & Rubbing Alcohol – dip your Q tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol to keep the center battery connection, drip well cleaned periodically.

Note:
Don’t be alarmed if you hear a “pulsing” or rattlesnake sound coming from your tank coils on the Vamo V2. It is normal, it is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Vamo feature.

DO NOT over-tighten the atomizer/cartomizer on the Vamo V2, it will cause it to break. Especially a 510 connector tank. Over-tightening your atomizer/cartomizer will push the Vamo’s center battery connector pin down into the device which will pop the O-Ring out, ruining the device. Your tank will not make any battery connection = no vape, error message. Repairable, but not that easy for most. Vamo O-Ring Repair Link and video. #60 washer or O-Ring from a building supply store.


Safe Vaping Power Chart – Guide
(Author unknown, credit to Reddit E Cig Sub Forum)
By using the Vamo to check the resistance ohms on the coil tank you are using, this chart will give you a general idea for voltage/wattage settings. It is all a matter of finding your own “sweet spot”. Start low and work your way up on wattage. A tank with low ohms resistance, and to high of a voltage or wattage can produce a burn taste OR can pop and damage the coil in your tank.

@oneday thank you very much for that, once battery's are charged I'll have a play
When I change volts will it change watts automatically?

You choose either VV or VW mode and it will do the rest. Most people just stick it in VW mode and don't bother with VV

OK thank you, I'm only used to using my spinner lol . Really appreciate your help @oneday

Thanks alansi will have a look soon
