High Volatage

[Heavyrocker]

Does anyone vap over 5 volts with your mods,reason why im asking is because im lookn at getting the Evic over the vamo now because ive been hearing soo much trouble with the SS vamo,the Evic can only go to 5 Volts,this should be enuff for good vap and flavour control,right?

Depends on the resistance you use for atty or cartos. If you stick to under 3 ohm you'll be fine. If you go over 3 ohm you may want more power.

Im happy with 1.8 ,2.4 and maybe 3.2 ohms,so the Evic will do just fine than?..why would anyone want to vap at 6 or 7 volts anyway?wouldnt that just give a burnt taste?

At 5 volts, 1.8 and 2.4 ohm would be more than enough. 3.2 ohm at 5 volts is around 8 watts, enough for me but many like to go higher. Higher than 3.2 and you start really limiting yourself to a cooler vape. People that vape high voltage pair it up with high resistance atties that are made for it. Voltage doesn't say anything for how hot the end result is until you figure resistance into the equation. That's why it's easier to compare things in watts.

If you google e cig voltage or watts chart you can find some good charts that show what ohm resistance works best with what voltage.

Howdy,

I'm not too sure why you would want to vape at a higher voltage, you can alternately get the same vape by adjusting the ohm of the carto's or atomizers you are currently running.
If you wish to break the 10 watt heat range then likely you'll have to do this as the theoretical limitations currently on the circuitry of most APV's only allow up to 5v of regulated (PWM) voltage to the atomizer.
I myself have a VAMO and can easily push beyond the 10 watt line with a proper ohm'ed out RBA. You can figure out what wattage your vaping at by the following formula...Voltage times Voltage Divided by Ohms.

Hope this helps

The Vamo is a much better device than the eVic. There have been some problems with the cap/spring on the SS version though. You can get a chrome one and be good to go for half the price of the eVic. Have you watched Phil's reviews of both? You can watch them here:

There are lots of other reviews out there, I piked him because he is pretty well known and he's done both devices.

just sayin...

ive seen provari's go up to 10w in videos...but really what is the point of your PV being able to turn on an appliance lightbulb? that seems like an awful lot of power just to atomize liquid ...

When you get up into RBAs, the extra power is a godsend. Some of the best vapes I've ever tried are on a good RBA at 15-20w. I'm pretty sure provari's go above 10w too, it's probably more like 15-20w maximum.

In my personal opinion regarding the OP's post, if I were spending eVic type money on a device these days, it would have to go up to 5.5v minimum. Something cheaper though, I can deal with being stuck under 5v but that extra half a volt is fantastic sometimes. There have been many occasions where I've even had 2ohm stuff over 5v - I'm not a crazy vaper, it's just where it ends up working well.

The consept of 6+v vaping comes from the days when the only way to have more than 3.7v was to stack batteries, and your only choices were 6 or 7.2v. It was OK provided you could find some 4 or 5ohm atties/cartos, otherwise it was like trying to vape a blowtorch.

 

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

i guess what bothers me about high voltage is if your vaping at 10+ watts, how long can a battery really last at that kind out output? i would imagine you go through batteries fairly fast. I say batteries because the idea of a pass through and having to be plugged into something kind of kills the whole point for me.

Ive watched almost every video on vaping on the internet,LOL,the price of the Vamo is not quite 1/2 price compared to the Vamo.With the evic you already have a built in charger(wall adapters and USB cable) and battery all for $105.00.

The chrome Vamo costs $45.00 and you need ,1-battery 18650 $7.95,1 wall charger $10.00,so to get setup, as with the same parts as the Evic,it will cost $63.00.And if you get the SS Vamo i think its $10.00 extra, so you pay $75 almost for the Vamo set up and $105 for the Evic,you save $25 a 25% savings.

They don't last as long, but most devices capable of putting out that kind of power have large enough batteries that it doesn't really make a difference. The vast majority of people probably vape around 7-13w, so you're not talking about cutting battery life in half or anything.

True, but if you don't get an external charger and second battery for the eVic then you're stuck to one battery. I'd much prefer to swap batteries than be tethered to a USB cable, I get enough of that with my phone already. If you plan on getting other mods, you're gunna have to get chargers eventually anyway. The vamo is more powerful and more versatile, imo.

So add another $ 10 too the evic cost for a wall charger and your almost 35%more,you do save money on the Vamo,but its traded of in the worry now about the battery spring malfunction,i was going to go with the chrome and save $10 but i think ill wait for the SS,i think its worth the extra $10,and its got a thicker better spring when they fix it.

The eVic is just an expensive gadget at this point. The vamo is still cheaper - $45 for the body, $14 for a charger and ~$8 for a battery is $65 for the basic setup. The eVic is $65 for just the body I'm assuming? The full eVic kits are ~$100.

The vamo also gives you the option to use it in full or mini mode, in addition to being a significantly more powerful device. The eVic has a measly 2.5A limit where the vamo has a 4A limit, so this effects total output at any voltage.

If you want another cool device in the price range, the Sigelei Zmax is a good one to look at too. I'm getting one of those in the very near future actually.

I rarely go over 5 volts and love my 5 volt regulated devices. However if you really want power you can get the Saber Touch Passthrough and go as high as 11 volts on it. Not sure what the wattage would be with a 3.5 carto but I bet it gets hot fast...lol.

 

[Heavyrocker]

BTW,you can use the Evic while its plugged to the computer so it acts as a passtru.

Why vape at a mere 10-12 watts when you can vape at 400?

It depends on the juice but I find that most juices taste better at 7.4v
