Vamo defect? Experts or engineers please

[piggy]

Posted in noobie forum yesterday but still unsure what to do. just got my replacement vamo yesterday and has same problem--while vaping the power keeps firing for about 1.5 seconds after i release button. some vets commented that this is normal for vv mods while others said they don't have this issue with the vamo and power is cut immediately upon release of button.
Anyone familier with the engineering of vamo can tell me if this is normal?
Why does it happen on some vamos and not others?
If it's a defect then I don't want to keep it, hard pill to swallow. other than that it's really good. battery options, and vv/vv how awesome is that!

personally I think it's nothing to worry about
I think it's just because of the particular chip in the vamo, my guess is this is why on other people's models this doesn't occur (slightly different set up chip)
I could be wrong though..

I don't think that's a defect. I have been using a vamo for several months now and am very happy with it.
Mine does fire momentarly after releasing the button...

If you are checking by ear what is happening is when you let go of the button what you are hearing is the hot coil that remains hot for a sec after letting go of button. The button disengages but coil still sizzles for sec,that's all. all 5 of mine do it. No defect.

Think of it as the cool down. The power is off, the coils on what every you're using don't just instantly hit room temperature when you release the button.

LOL Yes, I posted right after you with the same basic info. See what happens when one gets distrac.. Oh!! A Vivi Nova.....

Mine does it too. Personally I wouldn't be worried about it, I'd just be happy having the vamo in my hand haha. Great device for the price.

My 5v wow from smoktech does not have this issue, the crackling stops as soon as the power is released. if it's a temperature issue wouldn't all mods do it?

All three of mine do it too. No big deal, IMO.

If the sound is bugging you just let off the button before ending your Vape.

Doubt seriously anything is wrong. Like others stated, Vamo is firing hotter than you are accustomed to and the coil has to cool back down.

so basically the question is why do some vamos have this issue while others don't?

Vamo is set at r2 (more accurate voltage) and using less voltage than my 5v wow that doesn't have this issue. Vamo has this problem accross voltage spectrum. so i doubt it's a temperature issue

Thanks all. After reading everyone's posts im pretty confident it's not defective, but I'm still having a hard time grasping why some have this issue while others don't. It doesn't seem to be a heat issue since it still fires off after being set at low voltages/wattage settings (4.0 volts against a 2.5 ohm smoktek atty and 2.5 ohm ce4 clearo, any less voltage is pretty much vaporless).

Have you questioned your delivery system yet?
My CE5's Sizzle on the Vamo and take a second to quiet down. My tanks go quiet almost instantly.
Has to do with the speed at which the fluid wicks and cools the coil.

Thanks
Battery config- 18350's stacked (button top) and single batt config, no difference
Delivery - 2.5 ohms ce4 or 2.5 ohms smoktek atty - same issue
Voltage setting - accross spectrum 3.7-5.2 volts. any lower practically no vape, any higher "see you in heaven"

Doesn't matter what i do or throw at it

nothing is wrong with your vamo. mine fires for a fraction of a second after the button is released. not a flaw. just keep hitting on it until it stops. actually, IMO its better to keep hitting your PV even after the sizzling stops in an attempt to clear the remaining vapor from the juice delivery system and drip tip. the reason to do this is because if you dont, youll end up with more condensed vapor in the juice delivery system and drip tip than if you did not "clear it". this results in more of a liquidy mess in your drip tip, which rolls back into your juice delivery system. and vaping backwash is never top on anyones list of things to do.

so basically the question is why do some vamos have this issue while others don't?

my opinion is that folks are not noticing the tiny fraction of a second worth of vape at the end of each drag. of course its possible that they dont experience the extra bit at all, but my guess is that its happening and they dont know it. thats what happened with me. when i first got it i didnt notice it at all. then all of a sudden one day i just noticed it. and now that i have, i cant go back to not noticing it.

mine is more like 1.5 seconds, abit more than a fraction.

I might add that this even happens when pressing the power for just a fraction of a second

Ran mine in Dual 18350 one time. Realized I didn't need the overdrive and decided since the tech is mostly from 3,7v design I'd stick with good 18650's for longer equipment life and less chance of battery balance issues. (RC electric flight experiences)

I just checked my Vamo with my IGO-L Dripper. With a well wet wick the Vamo is showing no lag. As the wick is depleted the coil takes much longer to cool. Confirmed visually watching coil reactions.

Used to have a couple clone ego batteries that did the same thing. Never affected any performance or anything that I noticed.
