Hello from Dallas! Opinions on new setup!

[Platelock]

Hello fellow ECF members! I have been vaping on and off for about a year now and am starting to get serious about it after quitting analogs about a month ago. I started out with a regular EGO small battery and using cartomizers inside of tanks and finally upgraded to a new mod.

I just got in the mail the lovely VAMO with a couple of 18350 IMR batteries and a smoktek 1.5 dual coil cartomizer with tank. A couple questions I have would be what would the recommend voltage or wattage be for the 1.5 dual coil cartomizer? Do you guys recommend a higher ohm cartomizer and should it be dual? Or am I okay with 1.5 duals? Also is it okay to stack the two 18350 batteries?


Thanks for the responses and I am happy to be aboard a great forum!

Welcome to the forum.....I love my Vamo, but I don't use cartmizers anymore. Using clearomizers. I've never stacked batteries.
That's probably not very helpful to you. Just want to say congrats and happy vaping!

Hi and welcome to ECF. Edit: see wv2win's Post # 4.

Excellent choice on the Vamo. Make sure you have set your Vamo to the RMS/N02 mode which is variable wattage. I, and many of us who use 1.5 ohm dual coil cartos, set the wattage to 11.5 - 12.5 watts. This will give you a nice warm vape without burning.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Just screw in your carto and set the wattage @ 7.5. Raise the wattage until you're happy with the vape. Most vape anywhere from 7.5- 9.0 watts.

That would be for a single coil carto, Vapoor. With 1.5 ohm dual coils you need the extra wattage because they have two coils instead of just one.

I don't know a thing about Vamo's but...welcome to the forum, happy to have you here.

Thanks wv2win. Missed that...has been a very hectic, busy but GREAT day at work.

I would go between 11-12 watts. I don't stack batteries but I know a lot of people do so.

I've been doing this for 4 years and have been stacking batteries from the time of my second PV. With the Vamo's built in protection circuitry, stacking batteries is not a problem.

Welcome to the APV world. I find I enjoy a lower wattage vape, but the advantage of a VW device is changing it to fit you.

Awesome! Thank you all very much for the quick and helpful replies. One last question. How often should I swap in a new carto?

Thanks again!

Here's the ECF Vamo SubForum:
VAMO
As for longevity of your cartos that will depend on:
the darkness of the juice
high VG juice also clogs a carto quicker
first fill of the carto is VERY important- if it's not first filled properly the filler will burn and it's finished. Make sure it's fully saturated with juice.
You should get at least a week out of the carto. Many of us have moved on to carto+ tank or clearomizer/ tanks systems.

Welcome to the forum ! I've tried analogs but never really gotten into them.

Welcome from Dallas, lol. Find North Texas Vapers on Facebook, if you're there.
