You're getting your acronyms confused. You can't switch out of PWM. The vamo always uses PWM no matter the setting. RMS (or V-RMS) is a mathematical equation that the Vamo uses to determine the current voltage or wattage. The two power calculations the Vamo does are V-AVG (setting N01 which is a dead average of the duty cycles, and has proven to be greatly inaccurate) and V-RMS (setting N02 which uses a variant of the "root mean square" of the same duty cycles and proves to be the correct and accurate way to determine voltage). PWM is pulse-width modulation, which is the just the way the Vamo fires; by modulating pulses of current.

You are correct once again. But it remains that the end results are totally different. The AVG sucks and the RMS doesn't (to put it in layman's terms). :)

I just don't want to futz around with rba's. I have very little free time and a lot of things I want to do in that limited time. Jackassing around with RBAs is not one of them.

But that's just me.

Oh gosh me too! I have no free time whatsoever and the LAST thing I want to do is rewick and recoil things before I want a vape. I just want to vape and it be easy. The only reason I got the Phoenix and wick/wire was just in case the FDA does something. I keep looking at my Phoenix every evening thinking to myself I should really go ahead and give rewicking it a try...or to recoil a Vivi. But yet I just keep passing it by. I know I can do it...I just don't want to. I never fussed with cigs...I just lit one and smoked. I'd like it to be that easy vaping as well. That's why I love my twists...just charge it and go. They are the right size for me, not expensive, VV, and come in many colors......although I find I'm a black and stainless kind of girl. Just not into my vaping being pretty. I just want to vape. Easily. And could they make those RBAs any smaller?!? I mean come on...I think they could decrease the size of these things just a smidge. LOL! :blink:

Must be like having a baby. They have names and are very dear to the one holding them. Certainly don't want to drop the poor thing on its head.

Oh my you named her? And what is wrong with you people? Picc drops his s**t all the time. I have only dropped 1 pv and that was the silver bullet. I almost treat these PV's like they were an expensive phone. And the provari has been sitting on the dresser the last couple days. I am bored. which means I am itching for another new PV.

I love my Penelope and my AGA-S, both of which are pretty tiny (I have small hands... don't let that get out).

I'm wanting to try my hand at the twisted wire RBAs. I don't want to commit to anything expensive yet. Have you tried the Terminator (Ody clone)? Wondering if I should give it a whirl to see if those things suit my fancy.

Yep. The Terminator-C is what kickstarted my GG obsession and led to the Penelope, which led to... well, a bunch of GG stuff.

It's a great RBA. Huge tank and performs really well, and it's basically leak-proof when set up right. It's got its quirks (as does the Odysseus V1 it's a copy of), but since I figured out how to deal with those, it's become one of my favorites. It's one of the few atty's I have that's always filled and attached to something (generally the EA Mod, 'cuz it looks really nice on top of it).

But for real. There's no other tank i wanted. Just got a cirrus finally. With my prive special preordered that is honestly it.
Last week i got my provex and proV and then my girl got a phiniac which i just think is average. Done. Over. Out.

That Prive tank belongs on a Provari. Love the top fill screw. They all should have that.

Does it sit flush on the EA? I read it has a long center pin and creates a gap on most devices. I don't like gaps.

Got a step closer to verification. Got certified by PayPal. Just waiting on ECF now. They say up to 10 days. Don't know how true that is.

I'm seeing a lot of coops using popmoney now. I just went thru one and used it and it was very easy and painfree. But if you ever do that it takes 2 secs to get signed up with a debit card. Congrats!
