vw on vv yes ?

[terry w]

Hi people,just wondering if you can help me out here,ok so yesterday i got a new dct with a L/R cart.I had it on my LT all yesterday and everything was hunky dory.So today i put it on my vamo NO2 mode set it at 8.5 watts,and i am getting near to nothing vape wise.I have upped it to 12 watts to get a half decent vape off it compared to the L/T which set at 4.3 volts gives a brilliant vape?.I have stacked the batteries to see if there is any difference and there isn`t.Put it in vv mode at 4.3 and it is fine,anyone know whats going on here ??? by the way batteries were fully charged.

cheers...Terry sorry the title should read vw no vv yes

Hi Terry,
IS the cart dual coil? What are the ohms? You don't need LR with a Vamo - you may need higher ohms. The Vamo cuts off at 1.2 ohms. If its a dual coil it may be reading it as a single ohm set up also. And cranking up the watts with LR = you may blow a coil with that much power.

I'm not sure what you are confused about here?

When you are using your LT at 4.3 volts with the 1.5ohm tank, your power is over 12watts, about 12.3 watts

Why did you think that using your Vamo at only 8.5 watts would give you performance anywhere close to using your LT at 12.3watts? You even said that you cranked the Vamo up to 12 watts to get a good vape, so what's the issue? I'm super confused where you got the idea that 8.5watts equals 4.3volts, running 4.3 volts equals 12.3 watts.

BTW I use dual coils on the Vamo, and I use LR stuff on the Vamo all the time with no issues. It runs DC and LR stuff just fine.

Thanks for the clarity. Some people do use the DCs and LR - but some like them quite low and have problems - be interested to know what the ohms are.
Didn't bother doing the math - that's why I use vw so much.

Also the LT runs in AVG mode so the 4.3v setting is probably putting out even more than that. Just bump up the wattage until you get the vape you want. You might hit the amp limit but you won't hurt anything.

hi guys,first of all i have no idea how to convert voltage to wattage,and secondly i use a 1.7 ohm in my vivi which vapes fantasticaly at 8.5 watts on the vamo.so i can`t understand why a 1.5 ohm would make such a difference.although having said that it is a dual coil cart.would that make a big difference ??? i just can`t get my head round it.

Dual coil cartos soak up a lot more power than single coils. I generally use 2ohm single coil cartos in my tanks now, I still have a few new DCs that I'm trying to use up and when I switch from a single coil to a dual I usually bump the power up about 3 watts or so, otherwise I get cold thin vapor with mediocre throat hit.

Regardless of the DC issue, if you are comparing the same device (your carto tank) on two different PVs one of which is putting out over 12watts, and the other only a little over 8 then it's no wonder there is a difference.

Compare apples to apples here, your LT was putting out 12+watts at the voltage setting you had it had. But for some reason you only set the Vamo to 8.5 watts. That's the reason it seemed different, because it was, by quite a bit.

what i am saying chuck,is that 8.5 watts with a low resistance atty in the vivi nova is a perfect vape.8.5 watts with a 1.5 cart in the dct gives no such performance ???

The 1.5 ohm DC is actually two 3 ohm coils. At 8.5 watts you have 4.25 watts running through each one. On the Vivi it's a single coil with all the wattage run through it, that's why it's a hotter vape. Also the coil is closer to your mouth with no filler material absorbing heat. That's just a couple reasons why they act different on same wattage.

thanks for clearing that one up mate,so it is the dual coil that is the culprit ? next time i buy some carts i will have to try and remember to buy single coil LOL. cheers again,

Terry...BTW will standard resistance dc make much of a difference,or none at all ? The reason i ask is, that is what is arriving in the post tomorrow

Average Voltage measurement x 1.414 = Linear Voltage measurement..?

Well that's not what you said in the OP, hence my confusion on why you had your Vamo set to 8.5 watts. Now that you say you like your Novas at 8.5 it makes perfect sense that you would try the dual coil tank out at the same wattage, but I didn't have this inormation when I commented.

In your OP you were talking about running your dual coil tank on your LT at 4.3 volts (which works out to 12.3 watts) then you switched to your Vamo and set the wattage at 8.5 watts. Then you were surprised that the performance was lower. Well it's lower because you were running it at far lower wattage.

Make sense why I was confused now? It's like "Hey, I like how my LT and DCT work together at 4.3volts/12.3watts, so I'll put the DCT on my Vamo but only set the wattage to 8.5, that should do the trick!"

It just made no sense to me, but now I understand you were using your preferred Nova wattage as a starting point with your DCT on the Vamo.

The other poster was completely correct that the dual coils take more power to run than a single coil, so I won't bother commenting on that!

Hope I didn't come across as crabby or anything, I was just super confused

 

[terry w]

no not at all chuck,i confuse myself sometimes and i think thats what happened here LOL.so i have some s/r dc on the way to me,will they make any difference or should i try to get some single coil.cos they are as rare as rocking horse s*it.Having said that i will keep looking around for some. Cheers chuck
