eGo Vamo v2

[Texasman2011]

So yesterday I got the eGo Vamo V2. I am still using the eGo-c tank setup, and was wondering if there is a way to know what OHMS the atomizers are? with the eGo-t battery I had I was using it on the highest setting which I think was 4.0 volts. when I set the VAMO to 4.0 volts it had burnt out the atomizer... I cant figure out how to change the settings so that I can use it at the same voltage that I was using on the 1000mAh eGo-t battery? can someone please help me

Watch this video. I'd suggest sticking to variable wattage and with anything designed for an eGo, stick to the 5-8 watt range.

to see the resistance you must press the right small button for around 3 seconds you'll see the ohm symbol, if you press the left small button for 3 seconds you'll see how much battery voltage is left, press both small buttons at the same time for a few seconds and you'll change between variable voltage or variable wattage. press either small button for around 10 seconds you will change between NO1 and NO2. NO2 is where you want it to be set. also here is a little chart about recommended ohm and voltage levels:

once you know what resistance you have try to set your device close to the recommended voltage level.

the ohms that the atomizer shows is 2.1. that was an interesting video. good to know those things about the vamo thanks

I don't understand what that chart means. sorry not good with ohms and wattage. pretty much what I am seeing is that if my resistance is at I can run it at 4.0 volts for 8.00?

The advantage of the Vamo is it's not only VV but also VW. Most of us use the variable wattage- set it once and it really doesn't matter what you attach carto or atomizer wise. Makes it very easy to use cuz we don't have to readjust every time we attach a new carto- automatically finds the voltage.

a coworker burned out my protank head because he believed this was true

 

[Texasman2011]

that is why I was asking right now with the eGo-c attys I think I will leave it at 4.0 watts. im afraid that If I go higher, it will burn out the atty.

I'm vaping 1.7 single coil cartos and 1.8, 2.4 Vivi heads at 8-9 watts with no problem. Ask around, we all generally use the wattage setting.

it falls apart when you try to switch from a dct/rba to anything else

Myself and friends are having no probs. As for friends borrowing gear I've got all sorts of junk that I loan out all the time-the standing rule is "you break it, you own it"

 

[Texasman2011]

thank you guys for all your input.

2.5 dual coil carto at 12 watts is 5.5 volts, on a 1.4 aga t2 that is 4 volts, on a 2.5 ohm protank, 2.4 ohm vivi that is around 5.5 volts. on an iclear 16 that is 4.9 volts. while those voltages on the dct and rba are adequate performance, they are also enough to burn out a protank/vivi in 1-2 hits, and get pretty close to burning out the iclear

honestly.. I have no idea what that all meant. sorry to sound stupid but im not good with all this stuff I have been trying to find some more info on the wattage that I should run. then I should try to find a new tank setup because this 1.2ml tank lasts me 2 hrs then I gotta refill it.

I find that there is still a need to make adjustments even while is VW mode. Your safest bet is to start low and work up until you find what is suitable to your tastes if you start getting a burnt taste then you have gone too far. Just because someone may like to vape at one setting it may not suit your likes.

that was a statement to mr squirrel lol sorry to confuse you.... basically variable wattage is just like variable voltage, except some tanks are interchangeable on vw when almost none are on vv. typically start between 5-7 watts and go up from their until you find what is the perfect setting for each tank. as for bigger tanks, i love the kanger protank. easy to fill, tons of vapor, good amount of flavor. a lot of people also like carto tanks, they are typically 3-6ml capacity. they do require you to learn how to prime a carto and such.

so pretty much I can use the eGo-c atty at 5-7 watts and It shouldn't kill it per-say?

Vivi with which head on it? All of mine come with 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohm heads... although I usually recoil them myself for right at 2.0 ohms.

I don't own a protank (hated the permanent drip tip idea) but it seems as if the first run was all with 2.5 ohm heads with an optional 1.8 ohm head available afterwards?

Volts aren't what burns out a coil. Watts are what burn out a coil and even then a coil that is kept saturated is usually pretty far out of harms way, unless you repeatedly dry burn it over and over again. Or it has a short?

Tip: Don't hand over your device to anyone else unless you can lock the voltage and/or keep any eye on them to make sure they don't see what 15 watts "tastes like".

On a Vamo 5-7 watts is 5-7 watts no matter what you screw on top. So yes, *any* atty above 1.2 ohms will be fine on it, in VW mode. Rather than doing a bunch of math and adjusting VV (variable voltage) yourself, which gives you wattage, you set your watts on the vamo and it polls the attached device for it's resistance and automagically adjusts the voltage for you.

If you are curious about the math, here it is:

Amps = Volts/Resistance
Watts = Volts x Amps
Watts = (Volts x Volts)/Resistance
Volts = square root of (Watts x Resistance)
