vamo 18650 problem

[materoxxx]

Hey everybody, I've been reading this forum for years but this is the first time I'm writing something..
I have a problem with my VAMO and new batteries 18650.
I've been using for months 2 stacked 18350 and now I bought a couple of these 18650 to try them out. Unfortunately something is wrong...with the previous setup I can vape at 8w watts and I get a great vape, going higher is too strong for me. With just one 18650 the vape is very very weak, and I need to push it up to 14watts to get a close to decent vape. I was wondering if any of you had this problem before.
The batteries are all indicating 4.2 when fully charged, and I'm vaping with aga-t2 with ceramic wick at 1.5ohms.
the batteries are unprotected

Hope somebody can help me

Stacked 18350 batteries can go to 15 watts... but a single 18650 can go as high as 11 watts. If you vape at 8 watts I'm not sure what is going on. Both batteries should do this no problem. Which battery is the 18650, can you show a link to it?

 

[materoxxx]

yes is this: IMR 18650, LiMn 2000mAh Battery ...maybe the charger?

18650 is the LI-ion battery, nicetucu, if you want a link, i can give you one---18650 3400mah li-ion. it used to some big e cigarette battery mod, umm...like itaste 134, SVD,, etc....

what? I'm confused..

What version of Vamo

V3 (brand new models [aka generation 2] older models are RMS only), or V5, do you have RMS mode on vs the Mean mode

Hit and hold left button (the - button) for 10 seconds, if it shows NO1, release, then hit it and hold it again till it shows NO2, that is RMS mode...try it at 8 watts again..it should be good to go then

^YUP!
After I did that to my Vamo it was amazing, that probably will solve this issue, hopefully, fingers crossed.

Yep it should be on rms mode otherwise your vamo will be so hot thanks

my vamo was always on n02 since a few months, I never put it in RMS mode. I cheched several times too and that it's not the problem.
I did some more testing, also considering variable voltage
so for a test I set the vamo to 3.8 volts and I got this results

2x18350 great vape
1x18350 in short mode: still a good vape, maybe a little less strenght than the 2 batt stacked
1x18650 no crackling noise, very very very little vapor...

I tried with 2 different batteries new that I got and one from a friend (this one ultrafire I think), still same result. It's very weird. I don't understand what's wrong. Could it be a difference between flat top (on the 18350) and the button top 18650?

Yep it should be on rms mode otherwise your vamo will be so hot thanks

Have you tried it in the 18650 mode with any other tanks, clearo's or atomizers and what is the result with those?

 

[materoxxx]

I have an old vivinova, I'll try that later. It's very weird though. I've been using exclusively my aga-t2 with different wicks/resistance for a while now....

the only other difference is that the 18350s are ICR and the 18650 are IMR...I don't know if it matters

With my V3 a 650 works just fine but staked 350s burn it up at the same settings. Same issue but reversed.

Two 18350's provide a more accurate power output than one 18650. And as already mentioned, allows you to use the Vamo to it's fullest potential. PBursardo's review goes over the difference:
