OK. Here's the deal on the dual coil stuff:
The ohms of the coil are not the same thing as the ohms of the atomizer itself. For a dual coil, they are double for each coil. That's to say if it is a 1.5 ohm dual-coil atomizer, that means there are TWO 3.0 ohm coils in it. Like if you had a double barreled atomizer with 3.0 ohm coils.
So 3.0 ohm coils are normally run around 4.8 or 5.0 volts. And your PV has to power TWO of them at the same time. So that's double the watts. Some PVs can output enough current to handle that, and some can't.
The link you gave is for huge ohms...4.8 ohm coils (because 2.4 x 2 = 4.8). Maybe for stacked mod HV vaping or something.
So basically you set the voltage according to ONE coil's ohms. But the total draw for the atomizer/carto/tank/coil is based on the net ohms, not the single ohms.
So for a 1.5 ohm DCC, select the voltage based on 3.0 ohms, but calculate the total amps/watts needed based on 1.5 ohms.
Watts = voltage squared divided by ohms or W = V*V/R
So total watts = 4.8 * 4.8 / 1.5 = 15.36 watts needed to vape a 1.5 DCC at 4.8 volts. I think the Vamo had a 15 watt limit, so check the specs but that's at the max end of the limit. So it will probably pull it off, you may have to use 4.6 volts or something.
But you don't want to try to power a 2.4 ohm DCC. You'd want the 1.5 ohm ones. Maybe some Vamo users will comment about the limits and their experiences.
