Is there a formula or calculator to determine what voltage your device is using if you have a set ohm and set wattage?

Also, I have a Vamo. So I know I can do 1x 18350, 2x 18350, and 1x 18650
Being new to this....are there restrictions to wattage/ohms etc etc that I can use per setup?

I currently am using a 1.9 ohm Aga-t and have it set at 9watts. Using 1x AW IMR 18650
Just wondering where the limits are at with this device. When might I need to use 2x 18350?

Any links/responses would be great.

To be honest....my Algebra is a bit weak, lol

I suspected as much, so didn't show how it was done and just gave the resultant formula. That and I like magic. Always wanted to be a magician, but never had the finger control to do the tricks I enjoyed. But I'm fairly good at math and it seems like magic to some folks.

Im ok with math....I just have not done Algebra in years. So formulas have been forgotten.

I on the other hand try to do magic..lol. I can do some sleight of hand...but still working on the nervous shakes when I perform for friends/family. It is pretty hard to stay calm when your nervous in front of people, lol

Can you do the ball moving the cloth square around?

I watched Teller doing a ball and cup thing that just blew my mind while Penn was explaining how the ball and cup normally worked. Then I saw this guy doing a different take using the same technique and my mind was blown again. Impressive sleight of hand at the 2012 Beijing International - YouTube

I can barely do the simple stuff...

Before you use the 18350 AW IMR's (stacked as a pair) I would do a quick resistance test, using the same atty, and compare the results from the 2 x 18350 configuration to that from the 18650.

I have just done an atty resistance check (using the same atty) on my Vamo and it varied between these two configurations.

1 x 18650 AW IMR gave a reading of 1.5 ohms
2 x 18350 AW IMR's (stacked pair) gave a reading of 1.7 ohms

0.2 ohms may not seem a huge difference, but if the Vamo has read a 1.5 ohm atty as 1.7 ohms incorrectly, then given a VW setting of 9 watts, it will set the voltage at 3.95 volts. - This setting on a 1.5 ohm atty, would actually be 10.4 watts.

I would suggest using a higher resistance atty when you use the 2 x 18350 configuration.

PS.
If you want a reasonable write up, specs, and pictorial instructions for the Vamo, have a look on Health Cabins web site under APV.
