This thing is huge lol

[TraceyS]

I received my vamo in the mail yesterday. This thing is huge sitting beside of my ego twist and especially my beloved mini ego! haha. I have so many different set ups with the kangers and can't use any of them until my adapter gets here so I put an F16 boge on it that also was new and no matter what burned taste!! Used my last bit of every day liquid in it..........tried it on the twist and also tasting burnt....so perhaps it had a bad carto that came with it. Soooo, I dig out the the mini vivi nova I tried and wasn't fond of and now it's hitting! This thing is huge. Kinda confused about what to set everything on....so I've just been searching for what everyone else tries. This thing is huge! lol

Size is relative.

What ohms are the heads, what V are you using, are you in RMS mode, are the heads old and need to be changed?

Got my VAMO this week, running it in " shorty " mode only problem is I am killing those 16350 batteries!

I'm runnin 2.4 head in the wattage mode anywhere between 7 and 10 watts depending on the juice and my mood, runnin in RMS

Missed the part about it being bad on the twist, does sound like the carto if it was previously working on the twist and not now.

I don't like cartos, don't work for me; others love them.

People like the Kangers, they work for me too. Like the Vision V2 clearomizers and the tanks. I have a VVN knockoff I like better than the VVN because the coil head silicon doesn't flop over and let liquid in the center.

Check on here and everyone uses most of the varieties of heads.

Be sure you are in RMS mode, or "NO2", as it's displayed on the screen. It comes in NO1 mode (AVG mode) as default, so you need to manually change it. Running it in NO1 mode will most likely give you a burnt taste, as it usually means you're pushing way more power than you're actually setting it at.

You can change to NO1 (RMS) mode by pushing and holding the "up" button for about 10 seconds. (I believe you can accomplish the same, by using the "down" button.)

As far as I know, regardless of what version Vamo you have, this setting is always remembered after changing batts. So it's pretty much a "set it and forget it" thing.

I actually thought it was smaller than it looked in pictures and youtube when I got mine. 18650 mode fits perfectly in my hands. It did weigh more than I was expecting though ...

uh oh tracy got the card out again lol

yea make sure its in RMS mode like mentioned it can easily burn a carto the other way.

I hear ya. I got the AW brand IMR batts and they go fast in shorty mode! Faster than my Vision Spinner 650mah! In "stack" mode it looks like a lightsaber!

vivi novas tend to like lower wattage compared with dct tanks.

 

[scabbytattoo]

I run my Nova at 7.5 Watts on my vamo but I'm also using the 2.8 head

I thought NO. 2 was RMS mode?

 

[Gunner83]

Correct. It is.

I had a brain fart in the second part of my post. My apologies. I got it right in the first part, though.

 

[Gunner83]

Just got my AGA-Tiamat today............and wow, it makes this entire unit even BIGGER, lol. It looks great on top of the Vamo, though.

 

[jimbill]

I agree the vamo is big but the size is not that bad,but i just hate how heavy this thing is it reminds me in some way of those big heavy brass shutoff valves i just installed in my house.I just ordered a ss vamo just because i don't care for the weight of the brass one plus the ss vamo will be finger print free.

 

[peraspera]

I was also hoping that the stainless VAMO would be considerably lighter than the chrome version. However, my stainless steel version weighs 4 3/8 oz./125 gr. and my chrome version weighs 4 5/8 oz./131 gr.

LoL! Yeah, That's a lightsaber!

I don't know if I'd consider my Vamo HUGE... It's a tad on the long side... My Lavatube v2 is a bit fat... But neither is huge or heavy to me...
