Vamo V3 vv/vw query

[calgib1983]

Ok, this has been answered 100 times no doubt, but can someone clarify for me -

I just got a V3 through today and have been playing around with it. Do I need to set BOTH the voltage and the wattage, or just set the watts and the volts will take care of themselves? Should I just concentrate on the watts or the volts or both?

Im confussed, but happy with my new toy/self-defence weapon.

You need to always change your volts if you like swapping tanks. With watts, it's a set and forget pretty much. If you have it set to 8 watts, it will always put out 8 watts no matter what tank or resistance coil head you have on it. On a 1.8 ohm head at 8 watts, you'll be pushing about 3.79 Volts. On a 2.4 ohm head, 8 watts will push about 4.38 Volts. Stick with watts.

It generally has two modes voltage or wattage. Voltage will have to be manually adjusted to the proper level for your heads resistance, while wattage will give you steady power output that automatically adjusts to the resistance of the head. You have to operate in one of the two modes, either is just fine.

*edit* Yeah, what he said.

So if I set it on watts will the volts setting basically be switched off, as in the vamo will take over and do it all automatically for me?

Basically, yes.

One simple paragraph to adequately explain the process... I doubt anyone could condense it further and retain the worthwhile details. Ta Da! Well done roffles.

Thanks for the replies, this clears it up nicely. What a great piece of kit this is!

I was originally gonna make a car comparison, like setting it to "RPMs" vs "Miles Per Hour" since ya know, 3000 RPMs doesn't always get you 60 mph XD, 3000 RPM can get you any speed (technically) but 60 mph will always be 60 mph regardless of the RPMs you're pushing to get to/stay at 60 mph.
