Fellow Vamo owners- go to voltage?

[keplerj]

I've only had my Vamo V2 a couple of weeks but I love it! Do you find one voltage seems to be your default?
Can you make a case for wattage vs.voltage?
Any other knowlege you can lay down? You guys have been great in making a newcomer feel welcome so thanks for that!

I use mine in watts nearly all the time, and switch to volts just for dry burning coils - just because I like to dryburn at 3.8 volts. The watts is more convenient for me - I don't even bother checking ohms in watts mode. If I use an rba watts is better as it adjusts automatically for any ohm fluctuations. In fact its bnetter for any ohm fluctuations, which can happen as coils get used. I also find watts so much easier to use with cartos and vivi novas. The point of variable wattage is you don't have to check ohms and set volts - set the watts you like and it adjusts the volts to the resistance for you.
It has watts and volts - so you can try both. Its good to have a choice. I've been using my Vamo around 6 months now and its still going strong. Great mods these.

At the end of the day VW and VV do the same thing, they regulate my vape. With that in mind I tend to keep it in VV mode. I can never seem to find my sweet spot in VW mod. IMO adjusting at point five increments isn't enough to fine tune.

I strongly suggest using your Vamo in RMS (N02) mode and adjusting your power in watts. And VV and VW are NOT the same thing. VV cannot adjust the power level automatically like VW does, to maintain your settings regardless of the change in the resistence of your atty/carto, like VW does. And every atty/carto's resistence changes with use. The new Vamo is even getting rid of the VV function from what I have read. Depending on the ohms of the head you are using, I suggest you start at 7.5 - 8.0 watts and adjust up or down to your preference.

I'll reiterate. At the end of the day they both do the same thing, they regulate my vape. They just go about it in different ways, but the end result IS the same. I still prefer VV. As I said before, I can seem to fine tune better in VV mode. In VW it always seems off by a volt or two. Point 5 watts increment isn't a low enough IMO.

Wouldn't want to make a case for VV verses VW. I don't vape the way you.. you don't vape the way I do.. I do prefer VW, around 7 watts... it's my sweet spot. Spent yesterday playing with VV.. could not get it right what ever I did.

 

[jayD]

My case for VW vs VV is that when using VW the settings are remembered when switching batteries, unlike in VV mode.

And that "different way" is a significant difference, especially for a new person. Based on your comment, you should throw in a fixed volt PV, also. Because they regulate your vape also.

And you are assuming (not a good thing to do) that all VW model PV's regulate in .5 increments. There are ones that regulate in .1 watt increments just like a VV does in volts. I have several.

Ditto ^ It's basically apples and apples. Try both ways, use the one that suits your vaping needs.

I know how VW works. I understand ohms law, but that doesn't change the fact that on a vamo I prefer vv. I know there are others VW devices out there that change the watts in smaller increments, but this thread isn't about those other devices.

I have no problem with someone preferring VV. Implying that VV and VW are the same, is the problem What VV device automatically adjusts the power to maintain your settings and consistency, as VW does?? You keep skipping/ignoring that point. Impying that they are the same when they are not, just tends to confuse instead of educate. That is not helping a new person which is unfortunate.

 

[shynsly]

Actually with VV vs VW, there is another difference as you can adjust in .1V, but with VW the .5W actually can vary from .17-.14V depending at which wattage and ohm's you are using.

In the very end it is all up to personal preference..some people like to fiddle with things and some dont. As long as you are getting a good vape who cares!

Look at ohms law again, I think you will find that a .1 volt increase = about .5 increase in power (watts) really more of a 3.5 but close.

Just FYI

That's assuming the the device is 100% accurate, but most aren't. There are also many instances where the .5 increase will skip an entire .1 volt, sometimes more. Anyway, it doesn't really matter that much. As mentioned before its all about preference. I'm just posting my personal experience.

I would personally thank the people who thought about the feature of vw in these mods. vv is great, but you have to pre-calculate the wattage, or kind of memorize the table before you set it, or if you don't care. With vw, you don't have to remember table nor even have the knowledge about ohm's law.

I knew they were getting rid of NO1 mode but VV - are you sure?

Agree with this 100%. All my vv/vw mods are set to vv. The only thing I use in VW mode is my kick in a mechanical.

Just get a Prov... wait...

Don't start another thread about this. There's way to many here. People will buy what they wish. (I just wish I could get another P to go with the other 3 of them.)

I mostly set with VW, for me it depends a lot on the juice. almost all the juice I use I use around 6-7w, but for some reason if I go over 4.5-5 with HHV Angel's Kiss, it burns and tastes awful.
