I thought Vamo's had a low voltage cutoff?

I'm running stacked 18350's and I figured the device would cut off if the voltage got below 6.2 or so. It just dropped to 5.9. Resting it's sitting at 6.6v but after a vape it drops below 6. What gives?

I have a back up spinner battery so I'll stop using it to be safe until I charge the batteries.

They do have one which is calibrated for 3.2-3.3 volts that a standard battery produces. If you stack, you have to watch it manually since you will damage your batteries if you take them that low.

Oh I see. Thanks.

I run stacked 350s all the time. Both my Vamos quit when the voltage gets low but I can't tell you what that voltage is. I'll see if I can remember to do that hopefully later this evening.

Voltage @ low v was 6.3

I'm not sure but I'm guessing that it checks the voltage as soon as you hit the button, which would show the state of charge unloaded. So if you're showing 6.6 volts before you vape, that's probably the number it's looking at.

No worries. I got my 18650's in the mail today! I'll same the 350's for when I get a mech.

+1 the cut off is like 3.2 volts. I started with the stacked batteries. Could not see a difference using an 18650 high amp battery. But I vape in the 7.5 watts range. Now I just use one 18350 to reduce the size of the mod. I use my SID with a 18650.

I use stacked 350s because these 2.5 ohm DC cartos need a lot of power. I have to run it at 12.5 watts to get a decent vape. Won't be buying anymore of them.

With stacked batteries the cutoff voltage is 6.4 according to the manual.

Maybe it's like the SVD where you have to press the fire button after the batteries are removed when you change between stacked and single battery modes.

I only used my vamo with stacked batteries long enough to determine that there was no advantage to stacking unless your pushing 15 watts which I never do.
