Very strange vamo v2 issue?

[Jfaria1891]

So iv had my vamo for almost a year now ans its having its first issue. Its firing way to hott?? Iv narrowed the problem down to being the vamo I have swapped out the protank with another protank and tried both protanks on my sigelei zmax v3.

The vamo when set all they was down to 3 watts is firing as if it was on 12 - 15 watts. On 3 watts I should be getting almost no vapor and a very cold draw as confirmed on my sigelei but on the vamo at 3 watts I get a ton of vapor and its a very warm vape even out of a protank and a burnt juice taste as if it was actually firing at 15 watts.

What could be causing this??

 

[Jfaria1891]

One protank is 2.2 ohm and the other is 1.8 ohm and both fire as they should on the sigelei, why is the vamo firing so hott?

Have you put a volt meter on the atty connection and fired it to see what it's actually putting out?

Check you haven't switched it to AVG Mode no 1. This sounds like what happens in that mode.

 

[Jfaria1891]

Unfotunitly I dont have one or that would have been my first move. I test all my ohms using my devices, im gonna pick one up iv been meaning to because ik they are very handy.

 

[Jfaria1891]

Nope not in AVG mode :/

Seriously check to make sure it is not in AVG no 1. If it is put it in no 2.

SOMETIMES for no apparent reason my vamo will switch modes on its own. Particularly at battery changes.

 

[crawler65]

Do you have an automotive test light? That would work too.

 

[Jfaria1891]

Just double checked its still in No 2.

I dont ill run to the hardware store and get a voltage meter in the morning I should have one anyway

Im totally stumped on what could be causing this.

 

[crawler65]

I don't know much about the board in the Vamo, so if some one does chime in here, but could it be a battery issue? I know with some boards if your input voltage gets out of range it can play heck with output voltage.

 

[Jfaria1891]

Im using stacked 18350s iv been using stacked sense day 1 so I dont think its battery related

I feel like its a board issue, it must be? Idk. Is the vamo toast? Lol id rather fix it if possible.

Try it in shorty mode with one 18350 or long mode with one 18650 and see if you get the same behavior I have read stacked mode can be iffy.

Don't give up hope yet LOL! Get a multi meter in the AM, and start checking stuff. Batteries can do strange stuff in the blink of an eye, and the meter never lies. When you get it, check the voltage of each of your batteries, check the out put of the device, then you have some solid information to work with.

Thats what im going to have to do, ill post my findings and see if anyone can shed some more light with the information. Ill try running it in different battery configs. Ill post the numbers from my sigelei also they run off the same board so they "should" be putting out the same numbers. So it will work as a good control.

There you go! When it comes to electronics, don't panic, NEVER panic, they can smell fear and uncertanty LOL!

until you get the meter, switch to the zmax. if my vamo were doing that, i don't think i'd want it near my face

 

[Jfaria1891]

Figures as soon as I hammy down it to the gf it acts up, and this is why we have back ups haha.

Yeah I told her not to use it anymore I gave her an ego and evod for the time being
