    Problem with the Vamo?

    That's a good question. I didn't even think to try that to be honest -- I haven't used it stacked since the last carto half blew on it, but that might be a good test to try. That's very possible. Could be a good workaround. I'm going to risk a third carto now (just dumped the old one). New...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    This is the first device I've come across that doesn't limit its current while it's doing an ohm check. It's a pretty bad design oversight frankly if it's designed to take stacked 18350s. Nope. Regulated current at any level doesn't even enter into the picture until it's gotten its ohm...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    Yes, that's pretty much what I'm getting at -- a 1.2ohm coil should theoretically fire, at least for a brief moment, when you attach it after having previously attached a higher resistance device. Generally though that wasn't really my primary concern -- I'm pretty sure tests will prove it out...

    Article- What you need to know about e-cigarettes

    To be fair, it's Gawker. Often, comments on Gawker sites are only a couple of steps above YouTube comments.

    Does this sound like typical USPS?

    Tracking stops at the border. Once it crosses into Canada, USPS can no longer track it, so you'll only get further tracking info when it's delivered. However, there should have been some movement on it if he delivered it to the PO. It should still update until it hits the border, so it sounds...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    It's only firing below last voltage when there is a last voltage to fire -- regulation has kicked in at that point. This is only when changing batteries, and only upon the first firing of the carto after inserting new batteries. (Not when turning it on -- after having a think about it I...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    This is not under normal use circumstances though. This only occurs under one specific set of circumstances: When, A) Using two 18350s in stacked mode, B) Set to variable wattage mode, C) After inserting the batteries (or possibly when turning back on when you've 5-clicked it off), and, D)...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    Did you mean 11 amps or 11 watts? Because 11 watts is nothing to an IMR. 11 watts on a 2ohm carto is only 4.7V and a 2.3A draw. Now, if you're talking 11 amps (which is slightly beyond the rated 10C output of an AW IMR 18650) then ... 35 watts is still a walk in the park. 8.4V through a 2ohm...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    Not at all. Stick two freshly charged 18350s in a Silver Bullet, screw on a 2ohm carto, and press the button. Instant 35 watt vape. For about a second. I don't have a meter that can test under load though -- I'd have to cobble together a 510-510 adapter of sorts with metering leads.

    Problem with the Vamo?

    Unfortunately the wattage setting doesn't get involved with this problem, because on first insertion of the battery (possibly on power-up too when you 5-click it on) when it does its ohm test while in variable wattage mode, it's sending unregulated current straight through; the regulation...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    Good -- probably the best way to test them. I'd test it on one of my RBAs but I'm at work right now. If you don't try it out before I do though I may give that a go this evening.

    Vaping Mail Show 'N' Tell: What did the Postman bring you today?

    Well, I haven't vaped a lot through mine yet -- 0.8ml by my reading -- and it seems like it's starting to break in at this point so I'll keep puffing away at it and see how it goes. The wicking has improved at least -- couldn't vape it beyond 4V or it would get dratty, but it's handling 4.4V...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    I hope it's one you don't mind sending to its doom. :P Make sure you drip some liquid in there though, it should mitigate the sudden burst of power somewhat and you'll be able to sense the heat from the vapor if you try and take a drag. At least, for the brief time it lives, 'cos at 1.8ohms...

    What is it with some vendors and poor reponse to enquiries?

    Fair point and I can understand your frustration under those circumstances, given that if they took the time to reply at all then it should behoove them to respond with an answer that fairly specifically addresses your concerns.

    Vaping Mail Show 'N' Tell: What did the Postman bring you today?

    Nothing yesterday, but Monday I got a bunch of goodies. 30ml of Kringle Kokoa from Indigo Vapor (a little Christmas present from him), and from Canvape I bought a Vamo, a couple of the Efest 18350s, another T2 with some heads, Vivi Nova (for the brother-in-law), a few flavourings (for friends...

    Problem with the Vamo?

    I think I've found a problem with the Vamo, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. Now, this issue only occurs under specific conditions: With stacked 18350s in variable power mode with a low res carto. Here's what I think is happening: When in variable power mode, and you change...

    What is it with some vendors and poor reponse to enquiries?

    It may well depend on which vendor you're referring to -- service levels can vary from vendor to vendor, naturally -- but it may well also be attributed to the time of year. It's the holidays, tons of vendors are having sales, and I would imagine that business may well be utterly nuts for some...

    Please I need help from Canadians

    Sorry for the late reply, Hossam. It's the holiday season here where everything goes crazy. :) I did get my eVic, and have been using it for almost a week now. In brief, I can see that this thing has a lot of potential, especially in its ability to be upgraded through software, but its...

    That's one of those things you use to light barbecues, I think.

    Damnit ! eVic or Lavatube ?

    Well, the thing with Provape though is that if they do come up with an upgrade that includes VW, there's a good chance they'll allow existing users to send in their Provari for an inexpensive upgrade. I'm not convinced. No dispaly other than an LED, and it's expensive right out of the gate...
