A 650 with 2.2-2.4 Ohm atty is good for about half a day, an 1100 with same atty will give you a full day.
I would say 4-5 hours is about right for a 650 with a 1.8 Ohm atty.

Welcome aboard C&C, I think everybody glugs the water in the first month or so, dehydration is a temporary side effect of the PG. Good luck with finding a nice baccy flavour, the only ones I like at all are RY4 (sweet) and some home brew which is made by one of the forum members. |

Nice one Neil from Valley Vapes, Ideally a complete head would be good, don't need the battery or main casing. Cheers  |

Am after a Vision Spinner in any condition as a donor for repair parts.
Not sure if there is a Spinner clone but that would probably do too.
Small amount of cash waiting.
Thanks.

It's all a bit fiddly for my Bratwurst fingers and mole eyes. Is going onto the shelf of doom at the back of the desk. Will have another try later before I hot glue it to the end of a broom handle ready for Roscopecotrain  |

Get it re coiled matt and come back with your thoughts. I must admit mine looked a whole lot better than that.  Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 Recoiled with 8 wraps each side for a total of 1.8 Ohms. Total pish. Will try 6 a side for about 1.3 to 1.5 when I get a minute. At least it's vaping now, if somewhat poorly. It's all a bit hit and miss with my coiling skills  |

I find in-between using in on my magneto and vamo the centre pin has a tendency to move so make sure you push it down so in comes into contact with your pv's terminal and it should work fine. Thanks for the tip but I check stuff like that as a matter of course. My test rig has sprung adjustable pins so I can rule things like connectivity out from the start. Was reading 0 Ohms with good voltage across the posts. |

Mine arrived today and Roscopecotrain is getting a kick in the nuts at the weekend  1st impressions? P.O.S. It's shiny, that's all. Looks like it was coiled by a blind monkey wearing boxing gloves.  
Not the best pic but you get the idea (it's screwed into a Vamo head so I can throw it further). Oh yeah nearly forgot, it doesn't bloody work!  That must be why it's called an RDA, you have to rebuild it before you can try it! The only thing I have got for my £12 so far is renewed faith in my coiling abilities. |

It's a slippery slope pxr5, before you know it you'll be collecting, recycling and repairing them for the whole forum! I wish I had read this thread properly, I could have told you that they were in there hiding |

Best advice I have for a Vamo is to set the Ohms to 7.0 and forget about the volts as it will sort that for you. As you adjust the Ohms up and down to find your sweet spot the Vamo will automatically adjust the Volts to compensate. Every atty I have apart from one RBA is sweet somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5 Ohms. You mean watts raid not ohms hehe. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 Yup, I sure do! Thanks Roscopecotrain. That's bloomin Karma's fault for putting oHms instead of Ohms. Must have a backlog in my 'petty mistakes' filter and I couldn't let it go |

It's good practice to hold the fire button for a second before and a second after each vape. Lets the coil get hot and helps prevent condensation after. The design of the head resists excess liquid from flowing back into the tank so once it's gurgling it will continue to do so. Try some 2.4 heads Yorkshireman and see if you get the same problem? |
