Florida Panhandle Vapers Meet March 2nd in Pensacola

[SpEcTReCHieF]

Ya it's a jwrap and an AGA t2 working on getting the mesh going right now.

Nice Scabby, just got my Kanthal and ss mesh the other day. Will be bringing my Mini DID clone and Phoenix with me, also just ordered a Octopus so will bring that along also.

On another note, Sounds like Kick-my-Bolt responded in the Alabama thread and him and his girlfriend are going to try to make it and possibly a few other friends.

Ya the guys over at vapor labz said they had mesh and wire for me as I melted the wire right after I got all the hot spots out!

 

[SpEcTReCHieF]

Man I got 100 feet I could give ya some....

 

[transamspirit]

So switched to stacked 18350s burnt my cartomizer up. Grrrr. 1.7 at 9w. Fantastic device now besides the burnt taste im trying to rid myself of
Edit: its burning clearos too! Wth?!?
I switched back to vv mode and its a 2.7 ohm and still tastes burnt

 

[scabbytattoo]

Man I'm sorry your having such crappy luck with the vamo. I honestly don't know what to tell you to do to fix it. And Ya specter I could always use some wire pick up a little today but I know as soon as I have to make another could I'm going to go thru like 2 feet again Lol.

What mode do you have it in Transam? Mode 1 or 2. I would suggest you put it in Mode 2 (RMS). Also here is a link to a sheet for reference for suggested power levels vs ohm resistance. Try to keep within the green area and you should usually find the "Sweet Spot".
You can find the chart here.

Hope that helps!!

Edit: Ok scabby got ya covered!!

 

[scabbytattoo]

I didnt even think of RMS mode lol. and your stacking so it could be burning everything in that case.

My Vamo took a nose dive right onto the concrete yesterday. The Venus RBA seems to have come through unharmed, but it's hard to tell. The Vamo isn't delivering enough power anymore for any but the lowest resistance atomizer. I think the 510 connection is jarred loose since it's a tad wobbly and it's reading my 2.x ohm devices at 3-4 ohms.

Guess I'll have to take it apart & troubleshoot. Just don't feel like it today. Too bummed.

 

[scabbytattoo]

DANG you are having the worst luck with this APV I'm sorry to hear this! did you ever see if you had it in RMS mode? kinda still wondering if that was the issue before you dropped it.

 

[Bimini Twist]

It was vaping beautifully before yesterday. That was the second time I dropped it from counter height to a hard surface, but it survived the first drop without a hitch.

Transam is/was having other issues with his.

 

[scabbytattoo]

ya I've heard some vamos are hit and miss. mine reads the Ohms and batt at .1 higher than it is ie. batt fully charged it says 4.3 on the wifes it says 4.2 eh oh well but if it was reading somthing way high like yours I dunno what I'd do I dont think i could go back to my ego just wouldent be the same. what was wrong with Transam?

 

[scabbytattoo]

lol nvm I wasnt looking who was posting things right I'm kinda slow...... well then trans did the RMS fix it?

 

[Bimini Twist]

I got it to read the resistance correctly, but it still doesn't deliver enough power to the atomizers. I couldn't pull the top off as I've seen done on YouTube. Maybe I can do it with my friend's bench vise next time I go there.

 

[SpEcTReCHieF]

Just gonna have to go easy with it and protect to top with something, rag, etc as you try to remove it. Your connections look ok on the inside, ie top batt connection and spring in the cap? Make sure your getting a good connection top and bottom to allow more current flow. If your not getting a good enough connection, you wont get good current/power flow. Just a thought..... Good luck

 

[Bimini Twist]

Yes, I tried doing that with channel locks and a towel. Just couldn't get it off, but I managed to scratch it some. I did manage to pull the control section off of the battery tube and everything seems hunky dory there. I tried pulling the circuit card out just a tad (towards battery), but it is sitting very firmly in place. Even gave it a sharp rap thinking I might be able to nudge it down some.

Using a fresh battery showing 4.19V and no load, my multimeter shows the voltage only varying between 2.214V and 3.95V. For comparison, my Volt Spinner reads from 3.175V to 5.18V - again under no load.

Somebody on the dropped Vamo thread had a similar problem, though it didn't seem to vary voltage at all. Same problem removing the top cap, too.

 

[scabbytattoo]

Ya it seems like you must have popped a resistor? Not an electrician so don't take my word for it but maybe popped it on the boost circuit.

 

[SpEcTReCHieF]

Hi all,
How is everyone today. Doing pretty good here. I added our vape meet info to a couple more sites. You can find it here and also in another forum here. So everyone getting excited!! Wooottt!! Got some good prizes lined up and should be getting more this week. Nothing over the top granted, but any prize is better than nothing in my book, right? And hey, if we get this thing going never know what it will build up too!!

Anyway just thought I would pop in and see what's up. Everyone doing ok, need anything, getting excited?

 

[Dusther]

Just did a google search for the typical E-cig and Pensacola and found this thread. I'm not near as active these days in the vaping scene as I once was but still kicking it around here. I might pop in for the meet with a +1 guest.

 

[SpEcTReCHieF]

Hey Dusther,

That would be great!! The more the merrier. Looking forward to meeting ya along with the rest of this bunch!! Should be a good time and hopefully a start to a monthly or quarterly meet for us.

 

[transamspirit]

Im going to have to back out of this meet. Family health issues.
