atties and batteries

here is something that I don't understand:

I recently got an aqua clone. set it up with dual coils (1.7ohms combined resistance, silica wick). stuck it on my vamo, and found I wasnt happy with the vape. set it aside, thought it might be because it hadnt wicked properly yet. tried again after about 20mins, still didnt like it. It wasn't bad, but it wasnt as nice as  my taifun GT (clone) either. tried varying the AFC and the wattage up and down - which did make a difference but it wasnt "nice"
then, out of idle curiosity, I screwed it onto an ego battery - and bam! it vaped beautifully. no change to the AFC, coils, wick or e-liquid from what it had been on the Vamo.
So I measured the output voltage on the ego (3.7V), set the Vamo to 3.7V and put the aqua back.......but it didnt vape the same. put it back on the ego, and it's great.

What gives?

from an basic circuits PoV, it's the same coil - and the same voltage applied to the same coil should have the same effect. So why does it vape so well on the ego, but not on the vamo at the same voltage?
I am not complaining - just curious as to why. the aqua+ego combination works very well, though it does look like

Maybe something wrong with your Vamo. Do other tanks work OK on it?

yup, my taifun GT vapes like a champ on the Vamo

Is the vamo in RMS or MEAN(AVG) mode? Mean makes most things taste horrible! Press and hold the right OR left button for about 10 seconds to change modes

@condimentking: outstanding. It was indeed set to avg!! must have toggled it sometime and forgotten about it. strangely, my taifun didnt seem to have minded so much. The aqua is happy now, and so am I. thanks very much.

i suppose that means I must now recoil that Fogger v4 I just bought, tried, didnt like and was planning to sell.
