Thanks Adrena but it would only happen with low res attys from what my limited knowledge tells me. Maybe someone else will pop in and let me know. Never bought apv's from gotvapes yet, just other stuff and am doing my homework before I buy anything. I knkw another vendor sells this unit with a "fixed" gold spring but Id rather buy it from gv. Just want to be sure on this beforehand. I dont use low res often but when i do I dont wanna have an issue.


Understandable, sure someone with LR info will chime in for you ..

I've used anything from 1.8 up to 2.8 ohms at 8w without anything getting much more than slightly warm...

I prefer a higher ohm coil... they have more wraps, therefore a larger surface area to evaporate with so there is a more saturated flavor. Having a VW APV means you are NOT restricted to a lower ohm like on a straight voltage battery PV

Love ya redsok :wub: I'm pretty sure ya just had a typo there and really meant that you are NOT restricted to a lower ohm with a vw apv ;)

This was published by PB awhile back..Im sure this is what buffalo is referring too:

We are very sorry to inform you that we discontinue selling eGo Bamboo APV(Stainless/Chrome/Black Chrome) for a while because the big wide spring in the cap has big resistance, which makes the Bamboo cap very hot when Bamboo is working, especially when Bamboo works at a high Voltage or Wattage with a low resistance atomizer. We are working on new good springs with low resistances and expect to get new springs ready in some days.
We will resume selling the products and their caps when the new springs are ready.
If you have Bamboos with the wider big wrong springs, please stop using the products and contact us by ticket system.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please feel free to let us know by using Help Desk and submiting a ticket.
We look forward to always being able to serve you better.
Health Cabin...

Darn I was hoping it wasnt. So I have a follow up. When running low ohm attys below say 1.8ohms does that battery cap and spring get either warm or hot with chain vaping?

Im hedging on buying one of these but Im worried these suffer from the same issues as the vamos were having with the springs being too high of a resistence and conducting improperly.

I am currently vaping with a 1.8 ohm stardust that is ohming at 1.7 ohms. I have nothing lower but have not had any problems with this. I did not enjoy it, but for you I pushed it up to 8.0 watts for the past few minutes without any deleterious effects on the PV or carto.

Don't know if that helps at all...

Because I have the love, granted it's backed up with the .....slapper, but still...

Yep, zipper thats what I was referring to. Ty erin for doing that also. I appreciate it. Makes me feel a bit more confident if I do decide to buy one.

No problem, I'm not sure what it would do on anything lower though. Hopefully a few other people can confirm at longer use intervals than I was physically able to maintain.

VISION VV Variable VV & VW Mod - Voltage and Wattage - CHROME & Gun Metal
$59.95

Introducing the new Vision Variable VV & VW Mod which can vary both voltage or wattage depending on the mode. What is impressing me the most about this unit is the fairly easy and straighforward way in which you can switch modes between AVG and RMS and then from there:
  • Change voltage in increments of .1 from 3.0 to 6.0 volts
  • Change wattage in .5 increments from 3.0 to 15 watts
  • Check atomizer resistance
  • Check remaining battery voltage


How do you switch bewteen AVG and RMS?
  1. With unit on (press the power button 5 times to turn on and off) press either of the mini buttons atop the power button ten seconds.
  2. Your display will show NO1 or NO2.
  3. NO1 is AVG mode (recommended only for advanced users as this mode produces much stronger power than you might expect at various voltages)
  4. NO2 is RMS mode - it is considered more accurate and is the recommended mode to use.


How do you switch from variable voltage to variable wattage?
  • Pretty simple! Hold both mini buttons down at the same time for about 3 seconds. You will see a 'v' or a 'w' in smaller lettering on the blue OLED screen next to the numeric setting at that moment very clearly and in this way will be able to see that you are operating in either varaible voltage or wattage.
  • It toggles between the two with each simultaneous 3 second press of both mini buttons.


Once I have chosen variable voltage or variable wattage, how do I adjust those levels?
  • By pressing either of the mini buttons you can work up or down in .1v increments for VV and in .5 watts in VW mode.
  • Variable Voltage works from 3.0 to 6.0v in .1 increments. Once you reach the end it will cycle over to the lower or the higher setting, depending. For instance at 6.0v if you press the right button once more, it cycles to 3.0v.
  • Variable Wattage works from 3.0 to 15.0 watts in .5 increments and in the same fashion described above.


How can I measure the resistance of my atomizer?
  • Insanely simple once again! simply press the RIGHT mini button for three seconds, your resiatance will show on the blue OLED screen.


How can I measure the remaining voltage of my battery?
  • That's right, press the LEFT mini button for three seconds, your battery's voltage will show on the blue OLED screen.


Other Features of the VISION Variable Mod:
  • The eGo well will accept almost all eGo clearos such as our own Stardust, ReDuX and AlphaStar. SORRY but you will need a 510 to eGo adapter to iuuse either the Kanger T2 or T3.
  • The extension is INCLUDED. This APV can accept 18350, 18650 or 2 18350 batteries (IMR or protected, button top or flat). It is highly recommended when stacking (if you must) to use two batteries with the same voltage and two batteries of the same brand. We DO NOT recommend stackign batteries, you do so at your own risk!
  • 5-click power on/off
  • This uses a beautiful OLED display and shows a pale yellow for the lettering/numbering on a blue background. High resolution, no cryptic LED patterns to make up lettering!
  • Approximately 137mm in length (of the full APV with extension attached) and 22mm diameter.



Got me the gun metal one!!! :D

There are actually new end caps appearing in some places with an updated wide spring on the bottom. I got mine from a different vendor long before GV started carrying them and mine has the wimpy spring on the cap. The one I have has a pretty small diameter spring sitting all lonely in the bottom cap. It is maybe 3/8" in diameter, if that. The new caps have a spring where the base of the spring is about the same size as the ID of the cap and the spring is knda gold colored. They are going for 3.50. Which do you have?

Hmmm, I got mine from GV:

How does it compare to yours?

What are you using in it as far as batteries? Or is the wiggle not the problem and I'm missing context?
(not remotely trying to be sarcastic, genuinely want to know)

I'm using the silver weak spring that come in the unit. the battery is a Trustfire TF 18650 3.7v li-ion 3000mAh thanks for being concerned that I be happy I am just wish the spring was a little stronger. I read that some of the old ones were creating too much resistance so Yes like the heading says If it anin't broke don't fix it. Thanks I love all Ya'll at GotVapes. Rattlesnake

They look the same to me, but then again Yours does look more substantial. I can't really tell what the tension would be on yours but mine is real easy to squish but I am real gentle with all my stuff so the battery does not rattle but the machine does cut off sometimes even though I sthreched the spring a little. How do you spell that word I tries it several ways sorry about the spelling

My spring would probably fit inside the center of yours.
Looks like it was put there as a joke. Not funny BTW.

Guess I'll be ordering the replacement cap.

Guess I will be ordering the replacement also. BTW mine looks exactly like the bottom one.

Interesting. Hows is you guys attached? Mine appears to be tension locked to or maybe into a bit of a groove in the bottom all the way to the sides of the walls IYSWIM. It looks as though mine would be pretty simple to replace.

Gimpy, did you get yours here, if as I'm understanding correctly it is different than mine?
