Satisfaction Level Between Ego's And Mods.

[glowplug]

[/QUOTE] You popped in out of nowhere to post those numbers. Without checking your math (believing you are an old hand at formulas) ohm's law doesn't tell the whole story of what goes on with ecigs.
I had a dual ribbon coil 1.5Ω. It took high wattage. There was a lot of mass there to heat up. I tried the same rda with a single 2.2Ω coil (I think) with 32ga, didn't like it, could've been the coil or the atty didn't like singles. Tried a dual 1.5Ω with 32ga and it's back to a normal wattage for that Ω and me, heats up reasonably fast and makes that atty a contender for top spot with a single ribbon coil rda I've liked from the start.
Move the air hole out of place on either of those RDAs and they get very bad.
I've also had some flavors that did better at very high wattages. Some that start out low but work their way high as they gunk things up and it takes more to heat up the blob.
Basically you don't give enough information to answer what you "did wrong" other than you're assuming "watts + ohms + liquid" is the complete equation to a good vape. The reality is, if it tastes good it's a good vape and there's a lot more than volts and ohms going into making it taste good.[/QUOTE]

Sorry about my "nowhere" popping. I was using the numbers provided here in a post and using Ohms Law to determine the wattage. That would allow the poster to set the watts if he/she so desired.

Certainly, there are lots of other factors to consider. A dual coil of any kind will take more watts than a single coil. It takes some fiddling to find a dual coil with appropriate resistance that will work well on an eGo battery with a set output. Can't change volts/watts so have to change resistance.

I did give plenty of information to answer my question since it was based on the circumstances described in a previous post on this thread. Is Ohms law a good starting place? Can I determine a watt setting on my ZMax if I know my volts and my resistance? You have complicated what I see as a most simple equation. Thanks anyway.

One of my APVs is a Vamo V3. I really like it.

I dont like using it in VW mode very much at all. I find voltage is so much better. With the .1increments, and the variance in ohms even on the same type of device, let alone different types of delivery devices, it just makes more sense for me. I can easily tweak the voltage to exactly what I want it to be.

I find Variable Wattage to get me, close, but not right on the money. Sure, its set it and forget it, but Id rather screw on a juice, take a taste, adjust if need, vape away.


for ME, Variable Voltage is the way to go.

There is always a lot of discussion regarding what combination of devices is best to get the fullest flavour and performance. .
While there is no doubt that the power device has a lot to do with the final result, the delivery has more of an impact.
What I have found is that the juice is an often over looked factor. I DIY and can adjust for a lot of shortcomings of a lot of setups.

I look at it as a tripod with the power device, delivery system and juice as the 3 legs. Fail on any one of these and you vaping experience is affected.

So apparently I want 10 watts on the Vamo to give an equivalent vape to a 1.5ohm coil on an eGo twist at 3.9 volts. Still confused why using power setting is making my coils glow so quickly. And its a V3, it only has RMS setting. I dunno... whatev' LOL

Edit: Huh.. Vamo sure is pounding clouds now. We'll see if I get burny tastes again.

You got it Griff. Another thing is the Twist is I think limited to 2.5 amps which is 9.38 watts at 1.5 ohms. Not much different from 10 watts, but slightly cooler. The Twist will also put out less power than set when the battery charge is low.

The difference between 0.5 watts and 0.1 volts is around 15% at normal resistances. Have a look at it in Excel and you'll see what I mean.

The form factor and what you put on top seems to be the most important issues.My wife has a twist and spinner with rda I coiled for her with a micro coil and that blows larger mods with clearos n them out the water.I use my Reo with my RM2 and thats my perfect form and vape so really just depends on what works best for you .

Putting the vape quality aside, it is a big transition from ego to vamo, mainly because you're not used to the width length and weight.

What you could do is use 18350 battery instead of 18650 which will make it lighter, shorter and easier to handle.
1 18350 might not last you all day, but you could carry an extra in your pocket.

Personally i find that i empty about a third of my 18650 imr 2250mAh during a full working day, so i suppose i could manage getting by with 1 18350 800mAh

Those .5 increments do tend to be a bit too big at times.
.5 more and you get a burning taste .5 less and you feel it's not quite enough.

It sure sounds like you are using the Vamo in the lesser of the two modes which could be contributing to your problems.

The twist uses the weaker 2.5 amp switch. There are a number of heads that won't work well on a twist.

Some great advice and some very useful information about watts, thanks , as for getting a rebuildable atty, I already have one, got the rsst and some stainless mesh and kanthal 32 gauge wire, again a very very different vape, something I think I'll need to get used to before apriciating it fully, and I have the vamo v3 which doesn't have the no1/no2 settings, always on no2 in effect, and its not that I don't like the vape, I still enjoy it but fells like something is missing, might be the juice I'm useing might be the drip tip haha, I don't know but after getting my vivi nova it has made a massive difference and find that compared to anything else I've tried including my rebuildable, its much better for me, I still need to practice making good wicks and coils as I think that will make a big difference in my views on rebuildables. Currently running my 2.4ohm viva nova at 7.5watts which is working well, Thanks everyone
