Make sure the screws are tightened enough. Take some pictures.

Thanks! guess I didn't screw the middle post down enough.

You should really invest in a multimeter. It looks like you're running in 18350 mode and I wouldn't recommend going under 0.8 ohm if you're using AW IMRs or you'll exceed the amp limit.

why would u not want to run under .8 ohms with a single 18350 battery? One of my friends has a k1 with a nimbus on top, dual coil at 0.3ohms and he used a 18350 battery and it was hitting great! compact as well as clouds of vapor.

Dunno, Sold my vamo this week and waiting on the v3 to come in to check. Its 3/4 wrap with 28 gauge. Dual 2.3mm holes drilled out as well.

Does the Igo-W have 2 factory holes drilled??

I have on coming in from hoosiervapes and I have to find a vape store near by that drills holes if there is only 1 single factory hole.

that is disaster waiting to happen. The 18350's cannot handle the amps being drawn by those low ohms.

That is overdriving the battery and well past the continuous amp limit. Please look up Ohm's Law and limits of your batteries. "Hitting great!" doesn't mean safe.

If you can't read the links that show the max continuous drain. Then plug in numbers to show how many amps are being driven then I can't help you.

Max continuous discharge, 6 amps, its on the link.

Plug in 4.2 for power, which is usually the charge coming fresh off of charger in voltage.
Plug in 6 for current.
Hit calculate.
This shows the lowest resistance you can run safely, assuming there is no voltage drop in your mod. It comes out to 0.7 ohm.

Now plug in 4.2 for power and 0.3 for ohm...guess what 14 amps...amp rating is 6.

Here is a video of an IMR shorting:


That is what you risk.

Man you should never attempt to be a teacher or some occupation that requires patience and "educating" I seriously hope you don't work at a vape shop either cuz I would hate to have you attempt to "educate" me on vaping.

Thats only one battery chart info, what if I have another? How can I insert info for a AW battery if I dont have that brand

AW IMR would be the brand I would recommend. I contacted Efest directly and all they would tell me is that their batteries have between an 8c to 10c rating. 8c meaning 8x more than capacity and 10c 10x more. So their 800 mah would have a max discharge of 6.4 amps to 8 amps.

If you take a look at the site. It has many different batteries.

As far as teaching, I do have a job where I have to teach patients about medications and procedures. I don't have to be professional here, I don't get paid for it.
