Itaste vv 3.0 - wattage not working?

[whiskeyd]

Hello everyone!

I love this site!! Great info! I have switched over to e-cigs completely for 4 months now. Just received a itaste vv/vw v3.0 in the mail from fasttech (express kit). My first - have been using egos. I tried changing the settings for the wattage ( '+' and power button) and the voltage comes up (U3.9). Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a dud?

It's confusing, I know. Try pressing the plus and minus buttons together, stop when it gets to the setting you want. Then you can change it.

Just hold the + button (no power button) and when you see the the puff counter let go. The next thing that shows is the wattage (it shows P for Power), just hit + or - to set the wattage you want. Very nice little device for the price. Once you have it figured out how to set it, it is very easy to use.

Or the - button. But per Jazzman, that'll do it.

Um PS: if you see 'U' *after* the puff counter, you're on (the default) Voltage mode.
The instructions aren't (IMO) that clear; but they're here...

What you do (if you're on Voltage mode), is hold the + button until you see the U (and the voltage displayed beside it), then as soon as you see that, press and hold the Power button. It will change to Power (P).
Hope that's clearer than their instructions!

I had a problem with a vv v3 reading the resistance correctly, when I had it set to a measly 7.5 watts it fried an atomizer after about 15 minutes of use. Definitely be cautious.

Define "fried an atomizer". What was it - exactly - and what resistance?

It was either a 2.1or 2.5 ohm kanger protank atomizer. By fried I mean it was vaping normally and then suddenly the vapor came out burning hot, and it tasted burnt even after I went back to voltage. My assumption is that it simply misread the resistance, and cranked up the voltage to get the wattage it was set on. Granted, I could be completely wrong, and not a bad mod overall, but it was the worst surprise I've had since I started.

Yes that worked. I also held down the (+) and power button for a couple seconds longer, after the voltage comes up.

Another nice trick with the iTaste VV v3 is hold down both buttons, and keep holding them down while showing the resistance of the coil and the battery voltage level and it will also show the puff counter and power level (or voltage if you have it set to that). So you can see everything in one go.
