Whats the best setting for my Vamo with an AGA-T using a ceramic wick and 32g wire at 2.4ohms? I'm finding myself jumping back and fourth with volts and Watts. What are your settings? This thing is great. Just looking for advice and wanting to see what everyone else is doing with their Vamo.

Haven't used a ceramic wick so can't comment there. I have done 2.4 ohm coils on an Aga-T+ with ss wick. Its been a little while since I did one, but I remember about 7-8 watts. Whatever tastes best basically.

P = V²/R

Power and Voltage are related. The beauty of variable power is that no matter what resistance atomizer you put on it, it will always output the same power by adjusting voltage to compensate. There is no difference between the two given the same resistance and power/voltage setting (i.e. with a 2-ohm coil, setting either 4V or 8W, it's the same thing).

That being said, what amount of heat at the coil is better depends completely on your vaping preferences and the juice you're using. Just play around with it and see what tastes better to YOU. There is no magic setting, and one person's preferences may not be the same as another's.

I'm telling you this now so you get the best vape to YOU rather than wasting time and money chasing after someone else's perceived success. You can spend a lot of time and a lot of money trying to pursue a vape that will never exist for you given someone else's setup.

Anyway, to stay on topic, I prefer my vape around 8-9 watts, depending on the juice, when using a VV/VW mod. I suggest you start at 8 and adjust to taste.

I like to run carto tanks at 10 watts. The AGA-T+ I tend to keep down around 8.5 watts for a more pleasant vape. It's got a ceramic wick with a 2.4ohm coil but I couldn't say for sure what gauge wire I used. The vapor is just OK but the nicotine comes though really good. My AGA doesn't get much love cuz carto tanks are just easier for me.

I really like mine but they aren't really for out and about so end up with the vivis. Haven't tried a ceramic wick yet - would like to.

Been using my Vamo's with AGA's since I got them.
With my ADV juice I normally set it around 8-9W.

Here's the beauty of having both VV and VW.
The coil I am currently using has been on over a month and it's starting to get a bit wonky. (resistance changes every time I fire it)
I switch over to VV and it vapes great.

I really need to wrap a new coil. :oops:

I have to agree that everyones taste is different. I just switched over to 8W and its nasty. Dropping it down 7W is good. I find that a lot of people use some mixture of PG and VG. I can only vape PG. I bought some VG to mix with my 100% PG and I couldn't stand the flavor.

Your juice does have a lot to do with it. I mix 25% VG into my Dekang tabacco liquids.

@kiwivap. ceramic got rid of the metallic taste of SS mesh for me.
