...
with a vivi nova 2.4ohm head i've been going from 4-9 depending on the juice...just bump it up or down till i get the best taste for whatever juice i've got loaded at the time....most juices i end up around 6-8
I usuall keep mine between 8-9 watts, adjusting mainly for taste depending on the juice.
What would you set, say, a 2.4 ohm vivi nova to on your vamo? I seem to just burn the heck out of them no matter what I try!
talula,
Try between 5 and 7 watts or 3.4 to 4.2 volts. Somewhere in there you should find the sweet spot, just don't go above about 4.5 v or 8.4 watts as it will be getting pretty warm and you risk your coil. Good luck!
I'm sorry i don't get the high watts. I'm really happy with around 6- 8 watts depending on the juice. Tried 15 and all my hair fell out. really sucked.
i always have wick burning taste issues with wick based tanks. no matter how low i set the voltage, or how far i dial down the kick in my stinger, i can't seem to get awy from it, and i have tired it with numerous resistance coils, and i can't get over that burn. it's a real shame, because before i upgraded, and upgraded, and upgraded...the only thing i can use with those joyus little juice whores is to use them on my ego twist, then, for about the first half of the tank, it's a stellar vape. great taste, great vapor, great throat hit (depending on whether that's your thing). same for the standard size ones...work great on the ego twist (look strange), until about half a tank. i attribute this to wicking well and doing what they are supposed to do, but i've got to find an answer to this issue.
I know! I sure would love to be as over the moon with vivis as many seem to be on this forum. I don't blame the vamo, but I really can't seem to find the right set-up for it. Grrrr....
Good rule of thumb to remember when setting volts is to add 2 to your atomizer/carto etc so for 2ohms it would be
2ohms + 2 = 4.0 volts. This should get you pretty close. From there adjust up or down one way or another according to taste.
If that works for you, you can then look at a wattage chart to figure out where to set the watts.
Its my understanding that watts arent as accurate as volts so that might be part of your problem......use watts when switching accessories or ohms to get yourself in range,then fine tune with volts.

The vivi nova tank, like all top coil designs requires less voltage. A 2.4 ohm head works pretty well with 3.8-4.0 volts. I use a 50/50 juice mostly. If you are a heavier on the VG I'd maybe kick it up to 4.2 or so.
My Zmax with a Vivi on top 2.8ohm is set to 5 watts, when i run the smoktech XL DCT 2.2ohm it is set at 10 watts. as for any of my stardust type cleros i usually switch to volts and set around 3.6-3.9 volts and those are my sweet spots.
I have a dual coil smoke tech cato tank .The resistance on my vamo shows 1.7. What wattage and volts should I go for?
2.8 ohm mini vivi at 6 watts has been my sweet spot. Anything above 6w tastes burnt to me no matter what the resistance of the coil is.
I'm in RMS mode and my dual coil smoktech 1.5 ohm carto likes about 3.8 volts.
*edit* the resistance of the carto according to the VAMO is 1.6 ohms. According to a chart my voltage is probably too high, but the dual coil cartos are kind of a different animal compared with the single coil standard resistance stuff.

Great thing about the Vamo ... you can change the wattage/voltage setting VERY quickly.
No one can really tell you which setting tastes the best for you. Start lower and work your way up until you start getting unwanted taste or hit then back off on the setting until you find what you like best.
