I have a vamo 5 question.

[the_tongue]

Since I'm new here I will ask it in here. I use a vamo 5 with an I clear 30 tank. My vamo is saying low load. Saying the coil is at 0 ohms. When I put the tank on a ego battery it works fine. Does anyone know what low load is?

My best guess:

Low load = Low circuit resistance= short

I wouldn't use that on your e-go.

I had a coil short on my regulated mod, it wouldn't fire the coil. Put it on an e-go and it worked fine, till a puff of acrid smoke came out.

Yeesh, bad idea. But I could be wrong.

Good point. I just don't want to throw out a coil that still works.

Anything under 1.3ohm won't work on Vamo, as poster above wouldn't advise using it on Ego.

due to the protective circuitry in the Vamo, it is reading a resistance less than 1.3 on the coil and has gone into a non firing mode ( thus the low load text on the readout) Since the Ego may not have protective circuitry as the Vamo does, it may provide a current to the coil. If the coil is designed to be less than 1.3 ohms and there is no direct short, than the I-Clear will work ( but not on the Vamo). But you did mention that the Vamo was stating a 0 ohm reading... so I would believe that the coil is shorted somewhere in the airtube and producing enuf heat to "work" on the Ego unit. If the coil is shorted, the Ego will suffer damage eventually....

I had Simla experience and I fond that the centre pin shorts , one reason is the centre pin is a bit off-set in the carto or centre pin is a different size, you need to look at both cerfully to see what is happening also a pin being dome shape can work and a flat pin my short Re: Jeff

multimeter, find out if it's the head, or the Vamo itself
