How do I know what voltage / wattage to use with Vamo v5?

Don't worry about that. If you go too high, you will fry the juice long before you fry your battery-- and that tastes awful. Start at your lowest v or w, and work upwards. When you get a bit of a burned taste, back off a notch, and that is your ideal setting.
You don't want to approach it that way because every device is different and every liquid is different. There is no "right" voltage or wattage that can factor for all the variables. Just start at your lowest wattage or voltage setting and move it up until you hit the flavor and vapor production you want.
The best way is to set lowest wattage and vamo will fire at the correct voltage (this is set it and forget it type). Adjust the wattage up to taste, if taste burnt, bring it down one notch. That should be optimum setting for you.
And if you change to a different resistant coil, vamo will still fire at the set wattage (it adjust the voltage accordingly.).
See chart for your reference.
For me I set it to 7watts on 1.8Ohm coil and set it up or down a little depending on the juice.

I prefer watt mode and run it between 7 - 12 depending on my current juice flavor and ohms of the coil
You can use this as a guide. It's the chart from discount vapers. Note: this chart was meant for prebuilt coils. For self built coils, you can use this as a good guideline, but can test it out into the low side of the red numbers and slowly go up until you achieve what you want. To be honest, I usually vape the right most of the green numbers or the first 2 red. It works for me. I build my KFL+ or RSST to 1.6-1.8 ohms. The difference in voltage/wattage depends on how the individual juice I'm using is tasting.
Undestanding resistances, LR and HV
If you get into sub-ohming, I used this thread to learn a lot of how to start.

You would be better off to use watts. That way, if you change topper and the coil is a different Ω, you usually don't have to change your setting. Your VAMO will do the thinking for you.
I recommend setting it somewhere in the middle and if you want a hotter/stronger hit you turn it up a bit and if you feel like you want a cooler hit turn it down a bit. As everyone else said, there is no "right" setting. I usually vape most of my tanks at 8-9 watts but it just depends on your juice.
With a 1.8 ohm coil and a Vamo, I strongly urge you to start very low as sometimes those Vamo chips can be quirky. I would start at 4 watts and slowly work up.
I have a Vamo v5 with a Nautilus tank. When I first bought my Vamo I did a ton of research anyway. Bottom line is volts setting
Does not take advantage of the electronic board in the mod. Volts is just average volt output. I found I was burning juice left and right. On the watts setting or power setting as the Vamo calls it the chip adjusts the voltage output in order to create a more regulated temperature/wattage output. I started at 5 watts and am now vaping at 9.5 to 10 watts.

Also as your atty coil gets covered in carbon the heat goes down. The power setting or watt setting on a VW mod will somewhat adjust to keep up allowing for more Time before you have to clean the coil. I use the volt setting and go just to the edge of the red on the chart in order to dry burn the coil.

Start low. Vape a bit, then move up. Keep moving up until you feel like it's too much.
It doesn't matter if you are adjusting voltage, or wattage, or if you're twisting some knob and don't know how it changes it. Just work you way up until you feel like "that's the right spot". If you get a bit too high, you'll get a burned taste, and you back it off a bit.
All variable systems essentially adjust the voltage, whether they tell you that in voltage or wattage or not at all.
There isn't one right "spot". Different people have different preferences. Some flavors are better when hot, some are better cooler. Airflow matters, wicking matters, ambient temperature matters because juice gets thicker in cold weather. There are a ton of variables, so there isn't "one right setting". If there were, the mod-makers would just make it so the mod went to that "right setting" automatically.
Your car has a gas pedal not a "stop/go" switch...
As a general rule of thumb I find it safe to set my volts to the number of ohms +2, in your case 1.8+2. You might start at 3.8 and work your way up. Juices/atomizers/mods have their sweet spots where they shine. Just have to fiddle with them till you get it dialed in. Good luck!
Watts (or power) is voltage squared / resistance or if you want to use current, it's current squared X resistance. There is no calculation that is current + volts.
Either way, it's the same process in both modes with most APVs.
Simply start at the lowest setting, punch the 'up' button one time, vape a bit, if you like it, leave it alone - or mess with it some more to see if you like it even more. If it tastes burnt, punch the down button.
The APV does all the work regardless if you are in power or voltage mode, the user is not doing any of the calculations.
If your'e still there...
This thread is getting complicated. For some-one new, take advantage of variable wattage. With variable watts you just set the watts - the Vamo will read the ohms of your attachment and set the volts for you, to give you the watts you set. Start on low watts and just work up to where it tastes good.Its simple and is designed to be easy.
