Any Vamo/Etna VV VW owners here yet?

[GIMike]

so I still have to get out the Word file of instructions on occasion to remind myself how to make sure I'm in No2 RMS calibration---press and hold both buttons for ten seconds, duh.

You actually only have to hold the + for 10 seconds to switch from average to RMS. To switch from VV to VW, you hold both - and + buttons for 3 seconds. Hope that helps

I purchased my vamo from okc vapes and I love it
Easy to use just like the lava tube and it also uses watts
Something I really wanted to try but didn't want to spend
Over a 100 dollars for

LOL not as good as mine. Oh yea they got 10 more in from what I was told today. Just had to give GIMike a hard time folks. No offense to ANY LOCAL shop. SUPPORT THEM ALL IF YOUR ABLE. If you find good people you just got to go back and see them again. IMHO.

 

[GIMike]

Your shop is pretty good, but mine has better juice prices! You do have great people working at your shop though. I'd like to pay them a visit again soon.

I wish we had B&M Stores here in Brazil!! It must be nice to see the stuff before buying it I can only see them in pictures and video and sometimes you get really disappointed when they arrive in the mail!!

 

[GIMike]

No worries, I bet it won't take too long. If there are no stores, why don't you check into opening the first one?

 

[Mveraldi]

It is Illegal to Import or sell it in Brazil, I hope that changes someday!! If it does I might just do it!!

Healthcabin's stock has gone from 719 to 593 in less than half a day.

I wonder how much of that might be from local vape shops buying them up

Yeah, Mike. I mentioned both the 3-second and 10-second holds in my post. My trouble is remembering which is mode toggle and which is calibration toggle. That's one more example of advancing age brain damage, although now that we've hammered them home in posts, I'll probably be able to put them on my tombstone correctly. LOL.

 

[GIMike]

You'd mentioned you held both the - and + buttons for 10 seconds, not just the + button. I don't know what the - and + buttons do if held for 10 seconds, but hopefully you didn't launch any nuclear missles or anything since it's not covered in the instructions. Glad you've got it down now though

 

[billherbst]

See? Brain damage. Nonetheless, I like the way the Vamo is programmed.

So I see all these rave reviews. How's the atomizer connection? On my young june LT V2 the threads are very sloppy/loose. Functional, but can't use my Vivi Nova. My Bolt is pretty snug. Barely a wiggle. EGo Twist is in between. How does the Vamo stack up?

My Provari is quite "wiggly" with the Nova's.
Someone did mention the center pin being a tad wonky on the Vamo...

 

[GIMike]

Actually mine has been solid as a rock. Have had no problem with my center pin. The threads are good so far, no problems there. Course, I don't have anything that can access the ego cone threads, as I only have a T3 with those threads, and it doesn't fit. Works great with an adapter though.

One more question before i buy. Is the PWM at 33.3Hz like a ZMax? Was watchin' PBusardo's review of the ZMax. I'm not sure I could suffer "that noise".

Except for the quiet crackling of the coil after pushing the firing button and the sound of air being drawn through the atty/carto when I take a draw, my Vamo is totally silent. If you're worried about "pulsing noise," relax, there is none.

The screenshots of the Vamo readings on Mountainprophet.de show the frequency of the pulsing as 33.3/33.4hz - so yes, it will make the rattlesnake noise with certain devices.

OK, I tried various cartos/clearos/tanks on both my Acrylimax (which uses the Smoktech Zmax chip) and the Vamp. Some types of coils cause audible stuttering, others don't. So, as Dirk states, the rattlesnake noise (which reminds me of an old Schwinn bicycle with a floppy playing card clothes-pinned to the spokes, more like a flutter than a machine gun) happens in both units "with certain devices."

Apologies for the incorrect info in my previous post. I was using a tank in the Vamo with a carto that didn't react and was/is silent. Interesting phenomenon. I'm not bothered by the flutter sound, but I can see how it might aggravate some people.
