Battery question.

[DesmondTheMoonbear]

I just got my vamo in the mail today, out came with two eh imr 800 mah 18350 batteries. When i use just one in short configuration, all is well, but when i stack them, my voltage it's reading about eight volts, and it just seems too overpowered. Is there a way to use these batteries in parallel rather than in series? (or vice versa, i can't remember which is which) or am i stuck in short configuration until i can grab an 18650?

Make sure its in mode2. That will lower the power a bit. Hold either the plus or negative for about 10 seconds till mode1 or 2 comes up. If mode 2 your all set. If not let go of button and do it again and then the other mode will come up

It is in mode 2 and it still seems to be running to hot.

If you don't like a hot big vape 1.8 single is too low for use with a vamo...or most mods.

I vape rba's 1.5 ohm in mode1 at 8.5 watts.... but I like a big hot vape

I've vaped my Vivi Nova 1.8's without any problems in stacked mode. It's possible your Vivi Novas aren't wicking quickly enough. If you are using thick juice try adding a drop or two of distilled water to the juice in your VN tank.

IMO ViviNova's are impossible to use with high-powered mods. I couldn't get the burnt taste to disappear even using a traditional Lavatube on the lowest 3.0 volt setting. I use a simple tank system with Smoktech 1.5 DCC carts...almost never get a burnt taste even vaping at 6 Volts.

I use 2.0 ohm Smoktech single coil cartos at 7.5-8 watts without issue... that's around 4.2v? Lots of vapor but not a hot vape, by any means.

I also vape some 1.8 ohm bridgeless atty's around 8.5-9ish watts and that is mildly warm.
