Vamo Question

[wv2win]

I always use my Vamo in N02 - RMS mode and adjust my power in watts. In RMS - N02 mode, can you also adjust your power in volts? If you can, how do you stay in RMS - N02 mode but switch to volts for adjusting power level? Not that I will switch from using wattage to adjust power, just want to know if it is possible.

Sure, it's possible. Just hold the two adjusting buttons down, simultaneously, with the display active, for about five seconds or so and it will switch to volts mode. It will default at 3.0 volts, which is a little low usually, so you may want to raise it to 3.7 or so to start with then go up or down from there. To switch back to watts, just do the same procedure.

OK, thanks. I kind of remember that procedure now that you explained it. I don't run into many Vamo users that use the RMS mode but adjust power in voltage instead of watts. It obviously negates the advantage of power regulation when you don't use watts to adjust power.

I think most of us leave it in RMS mode.....
I switch to volts when my coil starts wearing out and the resistance starts jumping around.
It gets me another week or so before I have to build another coil.

I see no need to ever switch to AVG mode.

sounds like you are confusing the two different setting

no 1 and no2 are for the way it calculates the power going to the device when you press the fire button and is a set it once and forget it forever thing (rms is best) most of the newer mods are even removing the avg setting.

voltage up down or power up down can be changed anytime you feel like using one or the other and has nothing to do with changing rms setting.
