I have noticed that my cartos and Evod coils are burning out really fast over the past few weeks. I have them on a Vamo V5 mod and usually vape at 8 watts, which gives me 4.1 volts. I used to be able to get a week plus out of my cartos before they would need to be changed. Is it possible that the Vamo is killing them out faster now. I know it's a cheap mod. I also recently stepped my nic level down to 12mg. I'm not hitting it any more that I usually do. If anyone have some suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks!

Do you have a 2,0Ω resistance? Did you change the juice?
If everything is the same you are probably vaping higher than 8W. Or the coil wire is not that good to handle that much on 8W which I doubt if you are using good coils.
Do you have any other device to test?

Which version of the V5 do you have? Is it possible it got changed from RMS to mean mode? (Not all V5's have this settings option.) To check yours, what does it display if you press and hold the left button for a good 15 seconds?
IMO they aren't making cartos like they used to. That's my I switched over to an rda. I would sometimes go through 2 or 3 in a box before one would work satisfactorily.
Google says RMS = Root Mean Square voltage 
In terms please that dummies like me can understand

RMS is a way of standardizing the measurement of a voltage that isn't constant. A straight battery voltage will be a constant 3.7 volts or whatever volts are left on the charge.
When the electronics are involved to boost and control the voltage, the actual voltage varies like a wave, going up and down many times per second. The effective voltage that your coil sees is a sort of average of the high and low of the wave.
RMS is simply a standardization of how that average voltage is defined, as just measuring the highest voltage or the lowest voltage of the wave would be wildly inaccurate.
Using RMS is no better or worse in measuring the voltage you're vaping, if you don't get hung up on numbers, ohms and watts. Simpy use whatever voltage number tastes best, and remember that number for next time.
I'm so glad I stuck with the first one that worked good. It ain't fancy and it ain't got all them buttons and doodads on it, but it gets the vapor into my lungs whenever I push the (one single) button. I'm a big fan of KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid)
They should label them all... Cold - Cool - Average - Warm - Hot - Burn yer Juice.....Or just numbered 1 to 10.
The method used to arrive at the displayed number is only really interesting to techie nerds, (yeah, I love the stuff...
