VAMO Power Problem

[Hezekiah]

Hello, I just got a VAMO and I love it other than this issue I am running into: The power seems to be drained within 3 hours of putting in new batteries. This is what I am seeing:

When I put in two 18350 batteries, the Voltage shows 7.2 - when I get the "Lo" message and the vaping stops, the Voltage says 6.

When I put in a 18650 battery the Voltage shows 4.2 - when I get the "Lo" message and the vaping stops, the Voltage shows 3.2.

I am balancing the Volts, Watts, and Ohms so that that Amps are between 1.4 and 1.7, so I would think I would have power for a lot longer. Does anyone have an answer to why this may be happening?

When I use 2 stacked 18350 batts I get 8.2 volts, and the Lo warning comes on at about 6.7, gues this is norm. I'm using efest IMR. This is second time charged.

Cutoffs at those voltage are correct. They protect your batteries from being over discharged, which will severely damage your batts.

3 hours is a vague notion. If you chain vape like i do 3-4 hours can be enough to burn out a 2000mAh 18650.

Hello Hezekiah and welcome to ECF.

Another thing to remember is just cause a Battery says it offers 2000mAh, doesn't mean it will give you exactly that number. Some fall a little beneath the mAh stated, others mostly the cheaper ones don't achieve their mAh ratings at all.
But all vv/vw mods have battery cut outs, as Kanj stated this cut off keeps your batteries from over discharge.

Most vamo owners have also noticed a power drop when the battery reaches 3.6v in single mode. As I don't stack I don't pay attention to the power drop in that mode but as far as I'm aware there is a noticable drop in stacked mode too.
Pop over to the Vamo Forum for more interesting reads and topics concerning your Vamo.
