Battery Question for Vamo V2+

[Gerick]

I'm about to make some purchases and I'm starting out with the Vamo V2+ as my first PV.

The site I'm buying from has these batteries... efest IMR 18650 .

Is this a legit battery and what other brands to you suggest.

I've done so much research I'm now at information overload and can't remember what I read about batteries..doh !

Efest IMR 2000mAh 3.7v 18650 Battery

From what I've read, AW batteries seem to be the best. Efest is second. The difference seems to be in battery life related to charge cycles.

Haven't had experience with them yet. Others will chime in soon.

You shouldn't have any problems, I have not used that battery before, but many people do and report of them very favorably. I use a similar battery in my Vamo V2, EH brand name.

Discount Vapers is a reliable and reputable vendor, you should have no problems in this regard either.

 

[kottonmouth401]

Thats the brand of battery i've been using in my vamo, both the 18650 & the 18350. No problems so far

I use those for my vamo too, no problems.

 

[Gerick]

Wow ..thanks for the fast replies !

Really appreciate it.


With all this researching I'm smoking up a storm sitting here at the laptop..Ugh, I need to quick so bad.

Cigs took my Dad's life so I should know better, but it's so hard

I was curious. I got the 18350 Efest with my vamo and the battery life is terrible..I was just wondering how long yours last.

Thanks so much Vapoor eyes !

I will order these in addition to the efest. This way I can use the efest (ships sooner) until the pannies arrive.

You're very welcome Gerick. You're going to LOVE the Vamo. Just remember to set it to N02 (rather than N01) and wattage (rather than voltage). My only caution is be very careful with the 510 connector. Try not to over tighten anything and it should last a long time

 

[Gerick]

Yes I remember during research to set it to NO2 ,but I wasn't aware about being careful with the 510 connector,but now that I know
I will be extra careful.




Thanks

Yes when the Vamo is in No1 the voltage firing is up and down (50? times per sec) so if you're set at 4 volts 1/2 the time it's 8 volts and the other 1/2 it's 0 volts which averages out to 4 volts. N02 is a constant so if you're firing at 4 volts it always gives 4 volts. Wattage setting will automatically detect the ohms on your carto, clearo, etc and always fire at the same voltage. Basically once you know your wattage it's set and forget.

It's me again..haha

Do you know if the newer model Vamo v2+ which discount vapors carries does not need a 510/Ego adapter like the vamo V2 that fasttrack has in stock ?

Discount vapors just got the new batch of vamo v2 's in 2 weeks ago.

Thanks

You can't go wrong with those Panasonic CGR18650CH Batteries above. I've been using them for a while.

LOL ya got me and I don't know Here's the Vamo Forum where you could post the question:
VAMO

 

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Why not just the V3 is stainless if you want to use all the Kanger heads. Better display and drip well which is removeable. With or without rhinestones and looks great, much better than the pictures. Just ordered my third Vamo over the weekend the stainless V3 as I already have the V2 an V3 in chrome.

The 18350 is only 800mah, so it won't last very long. If this is causing problems for you, try the 18650. 2000mah lasts me 1.5-2 days.
If you don't mind the larger size, it's definitely worth it for the batt life.

I can usually get 6 - 8 hours out of it no problem. Unfortunately i have nothing to compare it to, so i don't know if that is good or bad.
