Vamo v2 battery?

[DaxFX]

Hey guys i am about to hit the button for a vome v2, should i get 2x 18350 or 1x 18650? I like the idea of 2x 18350 for the reason that i can use a mini version when im going out and not look a droid vaper, my main concer is with only 1 battery (i will still have the same voltage) being an RC and electronic hobbist i know that 2 batteries in parallel will double the mah and in serie will double the volt and this configuration of 2x 18350 looks like a serial conection, also i saw a review in youtube that with 1 18650 i will get a battery ratle shaking and not with the 2x 18350,

I can get a combo with 2 18650 or 2 18350 what you recomend to me, i already have 2 twist vv so no issue if i ran out of batteries

I would go with the 2x18350s. The 18650 will lock you into the long configuration, which you may find to be too big. I personally find the shorter version to be perfect and therefore use a single 18350. The battery lasts at least half a day with moderate vaping. You can always pack an extra battery with you. I originally intended to purchase the 18650 as an add-on later, but after seeing the size of this thing, I will stick with 18350s.

Stacking 2 batteries on a vamo would just mean that it would not restrict you to a particular setting no matter how low your atty is as long as its higher than 1.2ohms. Meaning you can fire a 1.8ohm atty at 6v with no problem. 1 18650 battery i think will restrict a 1.8ohm atty to 4.5v so you have to be careful with stacked batteries coz it will push any power you want to any atty attached.

I recived couple of day ago, i went into stacked 18350 for being able to use the shorty mode or fire more power, so far im very happy with my vamo

When stacking batteries make sure they have the same charge(voltage)

Yes, I do have knowledge working with batteries in parallel and serial configuration.

Thanks for the advice ,

I went with the 1 large and the 2 small. That way I always have something charged. I rotate them as needed and it works out perfectly. Initially, I could not decide which way to go - figured if I got the 2 small ones I would have the ability to use it in short mode......I'm glad I got the ones I did and am happy to hear that you are happy with your choice also.

I WISH I could get the charging on a schedule that didn't require that the large battery to be on the charger over night - as I don't like to leave them on the charger unattended. However, with work and stuff it is nearly impossible to charge during the day.

I bought it with 2x 18650 but will be grabbing 2x 18350s soon for the exact same reasons you have. ie mini Vamo, true 6v power.

These batteries flat top?

These batteries flat top?

Vamo likes the button tops better; but i'm told either will work. The flats might rattle a bit.

With my first Vamo (ss v2) I tried using two 18350 button tops after only using a single 18650 before and that vamo stopped working fast and developed all sorts of problems first and foremost with battery connectivity. If you compare two stacked 18350's with a single 18650 the 18350's are noticably longer, this extra length could have been putting unneeded stress on the positive post... just a theory.. With my 2nd ss vamo v2 I am using only 18650 flat tops and there has not been a single problem with it - no connectivity issues, always remembers my volt settings, etc.. and never the slightest rattle whatsoever.

Maybe I should make a post about this?

These are all Efest IMR's. SS Vamo V2's are from free-cigs.com who were very helpful in promptly replacing my Vamo.

Just buy more bats. I've since bought an additional 2 bats and love the feeling of security they bring. Security in that I don't have to follow a constant schedule and also that I have more on hand if one fails or is lost.

I'd get the 18350's then later get some 18650's. For around the house I like the 18650 but when out and about I prefer the short mode.

Just my opinion though.
