Hey :)

Just got my Vamo SS V2 in the post today and checked it over under the magnifying glass after seeing a couple of threads that revealed some QC issues (posts being sunk into the skirt and bent tube joints) but all seems well with mine :2cool:.
I`ve been running Kanger Evods on Ego-c batteries so thought I would start by trying it out with them, happy to find out that they fit the Vamo with no issues or adaptors (although I bought a 510-ego adaptor just in case).
It vapes beautifully and am really happy with it :) I was surprised how heavy it is compared to the Ego`s, maybe I should`nt have been and it`s no worries, in fact it gives it a better "feel".

So after checking the various options I settled on running it in variable wattage mode and did a resistance check on one of the Evods.
I re-coil and re-wick my the heads for these so use a multi-meter to check my work and make sure there are no shorts!
I`m getting a difference in readings of 0.2ohms between my multimeter and the Vamo readings so just wondered how accurate people are finding the resistance checking facility on the Vamo?
It`s no biggie as my meter is not top of the range anyway and is used more as a safety check for my re-coiling :blush: and in the end I`m going to adjusting by flavour/vapour and hit and not by maths :) but I am curious.

Mine seems to vary plus or minus .1 ohm from what I've observed...
