Hi guys! Im back on vaping after putting it aside for about 2 years.

I have just finished my new toy [which will help me quit smoking]

so far, i love it! good amount of vape and good taste.

my vamo reads 1.8 ohm but i already blew one wire by using 4 volts.

is that too much for 1.8 ohm??? or is it because of the hot spots??

ive spent about an hour trying to fix the hot spot and now its seems to be alot better than the first one.

any suggestion on what wire i should use and what kind of mesh i should be using?

here is the picture btw =]

AGA-T2 + Vamo V2 combo

Hello sungkyuayo and Welcome to ECF,

N01 is AVG Mode - this averages out the voltage, hits harder makes for a harsher vape. So if you are vaping at 3V the actual result will be a higher voltage. This because it's sends power out 6V then drops 0V for a few milliseconds. Similar experience to the VV Gripper's PWM (Pulsed Width Modulation).

N02 is RMS mode - Root Mean Square, this mode gives you a more accurate voltage setting and vaping experience. It is still PWM but the effect is smoother and much better regulated. Setting it at 3v in this mode will accurately give 3v.

Another thing to bear in mind is VV/VW mods do not like low resistances. Increase your resistance, anything above 2.2Ω will offer sweeter vapes on a Vamo.

Pop into the Vamo Forum for more information, ideas and tips for your Vamo.

i can definitely tell the difference with the no1 and no2. Before it was pretty harsh and vapor was warm, not it feels just right witht he no2 mode. Thx for the explination meli =]

vamo is a great device. affordable and does the job. i should have read the manual before using it .lol it would have made more sense to me. thx for the info: and i love ur profile picture LOL

LOLLLL the drunk squirrel. One thing I would caution you about the Vamo is be careful with the threads as they're very easy to wear out/ cross thread.

Start at 3.2v and pulse your coil a few times then move up about .2v or so. Doing this will harden the coil and make it more resistant to popping. Once you get it lightly glowing take a needle or something small and start moving the coils to get rid of the hotspots. Be patient and you'll have a killer coil in no time.
