Got my Vamo ... now what ??

[Slots]

I'm all excited, but I don't want to screw it up.
I've set it to No2 as everyone says to do.
I've been using Ego twists and clearo's.
What setting do I start at
I think, if I read it right the ohm says 2.0. with the clearo on it.
Do I just set the wattage (power) at 3.8 which is where it's running on the twist ?

Also, I've got a new carto I want to try (first carto)
Will I use the same setting when I use it ?

A little confusion here during my "upgrade"
Should I use LR or SR with the Vamo ?
Any help is appreciated.
Man ... this thing is a "club" compared to my twists !
Can't carry around a fistful of these things ...

There is a safe vape chart somewhere that shows the ohms, watts and voltage settings. I'll try to find it unless someone beats me to it...

Edit
Here it is...

If you are running them at 3.8 on your twist and enjoying the flavor, then that would be a logical place to start with your Vamo. Then you can adjust up or down a tick at a time to get the spot-on taste you are looking for.

 

[Jimbo Ellis]

D'oh! I just realized you were talking about watts and not volts. If my math is right, a 2ohm carto should vape around your usual 3.8 volts if you set your Vamo's watts to 7.5 or 8. I would start at 7 and tick up from there until it tastes right.

Thanks You mucho ... I found the chart.
It's so exciting to have a new toy, it just seems so HUGE.

Jimbo, I kinda thought along those lines too, but wanted to check.
Can't aford to be ruining these things by the dozen.

Since you are on rms just set it at 7watts and start there. The beauty of Vw is that the batt automatically adjusts to the carto/clearo you are using . Once you find what you like on most all you have to do is adjust up or down about .5 . I think it it so much easier than vv.

 

[JBL-37]

Ah yes, that's the one I was looking for, the other will work too just not as detailed. Happy vaping, the vamo will produce much more vapor. I was a little dizzy after playing with it on 24 nic the first time.

Slots, I'm still learning my new Vamo and 7.5 to 9.5 w seems to be the sweet spots for me depending on flavor.
So far I'm loving it.

OK
I unscrewed one of my clearos screwed it into the vamo, set the watts at 7.0 and WOW
What a difference.
Thank you people. I would of been leery to set it that high starting out.

Klynn, so I don't have to worry about what OHM I'm using, as it automatically adjusts.
That's cool. At least "it" knows what it's doing ! More than I can say for me.

Can hardly wait to try my new carto.
I'm assuming the same principles apply to it.
You guys are great
I probably would still be sucking on store bought if not for you guys.
My doctor is so happy. He asked me all about it.
Seems he has a lot of patients that want to switch and he didn't know what to tell them .
Go to ECF is the best advice you can give anyone.

Deffinetly some great info and people here, just noticed your from my neck of the woods. WA

Word of advice: Always start low and work your way up. Some cartos will burn up quickly if your set too high.

Edit: Even in W mode, you can fry a carto quickly.

My wife loves ours to. Two things we noticed, check it once in a while and make sure it is still in Watts, and if it starts acting funny, check and make sure you didn't accidently switch it to N01. I noticed when it's in NO1, the setting make no sense. I'm not sure why they even have it available when they tell everyone not to use it in that mode.

Yep JBL ... eastern washington.
Born in Seattle moved to Bellevue in 1953.. got to retirment age, and went looking for the sunshine.

Again ..Thanks everyone for all the good advice.. sure don't want to "fry" my goodies, and
I'll watch to see that it doesn't try to do it's own thing and change wattage on me.

I've read that it occasionally switched either to voltage mode or to NO1 mode on it own, but have never had that happen with me. Whenever I have to keep it in a pants pocket for a drive or while walking somewhere, I simply turn it off and its a non-issue. I'm in RMS mode at 8 watts, 9 for some of the juices that I like to burn hotter.

Be sure you're handling your batteries properly. Never keep them on the charger when they're full. Never let 2 batteries' ends touch unless in the device (sides are ok). Store them properly (cool place, not touching, in some sort of non-conductive case). I just keep them in the bubble wrap they were sent to me when I'm not using them. And switch the batteries out when they go below 3.4 volts. The battery voltage isn't the same as the voltage you vape at. It's just an accurate reading of how full/empty the battery is. A full battery is 4.2 and the Vamo will stop firing once the battery drains to 3.3. For example, even if the battery is down to 3.5 volts, you could still fire your device at 5 volts, as the two are unrelated so to speak. This confused me when I first got into these types of batteries but its pretty clear now.

LMAO!somebody had too

See, I knew I wasn't as smart as all you guys.
I left myself wide open there didn't I ??
Doesn't happen too often, usually it's the other way around ... and I'm the one taking advantage of the opportunity.
I'm getting worse about it too, I'm old enough now that I say what I think... I don't have to try to impress anyone..
Thanks for the laugh and the "gotcha"

Thanks for the advice Aheadatime.
I have a small box with a foam lining that the batteries came in, and I can just lay them in next to each other and there will be no contact.
I also read somewhere that it's bad news to over use or over charge them.
Seeing as I want them to last, I'll being checking them.
Sure don't want to go back to using a smaller size
