was never a fan of stacking small batts on high drain devices until...

my coworker went kayaking with his vamo v3 *face palm*... needless the say, his vamo did not survive.
luckily for me, he was running his vamo in shorty mode and i was able to salvage his 18650 tube.
turns out when attached to my vamo v2 this morning at the office, i was able to run it with 2 aw imr 18490's!
im sure if i attached my 18650 extension i would be able to run 2 18650's... i'll update the thread later tonight

behold the little piggy,

I won't pretend to know all of the concerns, but stacked batteries, i.e., 2 - 18350's at 3.7 Volts each, ought to draw only half the current (drain) of an 18650 at 3.7 Volts, or a single 18350. Because of the lower current demand, I prefer series / stacked batteries. This assumes the mod is appropriate for 7.4 Volts.

VAMO!! The Weapon of Choice!

1. Use it to Smoke.

2. Use it for self defense against would be attackers.

3. Women's ... (well, I won't say).

I just stumbled on this thread. I've been discussing batteries and stacking in another thread - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/355592-vamo-battery-thread-58.html . I ran some tests today to measure current draw under real vaping conditions on a Vamo using a single 18650 and stacked 18350s. Check post numbers 574 and 577 to see what the overhead of running the boost circuit does to current draw. I am not advocating that anyone stack batteries, but the difference is basically a 3:1 ratio with the 18350s being the "1".
