Getting a Vamo v2 not sure how variable wats work.

[pokergod]

So far ive eonly had the ego twist and im finally upgrading into the Vamo v2.
I know it has variable wattage which I dont know much about.
How do you know what wats to set it on? Does the mod automatically set it for you
depending on what you put on it? depending on the ohms ? Would love some help,
The Vamo should be here any day now!!! Thanx in advance!

You need to try the different watt settings to find your sweet spot. Just like you do with voltage. Once you find the perfect number, every carto or atty, no matter the resistance, will give you the same vape. Hope that made sense.

This chart may help you.

Good luck and enjoy your Vamo. I love mine

With VW the device will detect the resistance of you carto or atty and set the volts automatically according to ohms law. The idea is that no matter what the restance is of the atty you put on, your device will detect it and automatically set your volts to what you like. Most people seem to vape at 7-10 watts. You're just gonna have to find your sweet spot.

There is actually a dedicated sub-forum within this one for Vamo and I'm sure you will find MUCH information there. As a Vamo user myself I can tell you that VW means the Vamo polls the attached tank, cart or atty to find it's resistance and then sets the voltage accordingly to give you your selected wattage. Most users like right around 8 watts, adjust up or down to find your happy place. The big difference between VV (variable voltage) and VW (variable wattage) is that once you set your VW it doesn't matter what resistance (within limits) the device is you screw on to it... you can set the vamo for say 7.5 watts, take a few puffs off of a low resistance dripping atty, usually around 1.5 ohms, take it off and put on a 2.8 ohm vivi nova. You are still vaping at the same 7.5 watts.

Watts are a function of volts and resistance: Watts = (Voltage x Voltage)/Resistance

So for that same 1.5 ohm dripper in our example you would have to have a variable VOLTAGE device (or the vamo in VV mode) set to approximately 3.35 volts... (3.35 x 3.35)/1.5 = 7.48 watts

Still in VV mode and you put that 2.8 ohm vivi nova on it? You'd have to turn it up to 4.5 volts to get approx. the same: (4.5 x 4.5)/2.8 = 7.23 watts

In VW mode the Vamo takes care of that adjustment for you!

Variable Wattage is a nice "set and forget" technology, especially if you like to change between different attachments

(Oh, in case you were curios... Volts = square root of (watts x resistance) )

SO I finally got the vamo v2 in the mail yesterday and to be honest, im not really expereincing a differnt vape with it than I did with my ego twist. What am I doing wrong? lol

Nothing. As way of compairison I just took a vape side by side with an ego twist and a provari and they both give be an excellent vape. A mod just gives you a little more flexibility. You can't vape a 3 ohm carto at 6 volts on an ego. You can't do VW with an ego either. You can't check the ohms or see the remaining power left in your battery either. There's also the esthetics of it. A large tank looks wonky on an ego...

Perfect explanation. VW is defiantly the way to go IMO.
