Why VAMO is not compatible with Kanger T2

[tntmux]

Hello, I started vaping with a set of standard ego battery and kanger T2(super long wicks version, about 70mm, 1.8ohm), it worked greatly till I got my VAMO.
The Kanger T2 on VAMO performs very differently (VAMO set to RMS mode and 3.5-3.6V), even with a whole new head, flavor is muted, sometimes burn taste or acid taste(I use tobacco juice so it shouldn't be, and I know very well how my juice tastes like), I also feel an unconsistency from the beginning of a draw till the end of the draw. At the beginning is was hot vapour like it should be but at the end it turned to be cold. I ruined a lot of heads till I figured it out it is because of my VAMO.

Same thing happened with my boge f16(1.7ohm), it is very smooth on ego battery but not on VAMO.

It seems VAMO cannot handle low ohm, it works very well with 2.8ohm vivi nova, 2.6ohm protank.

Anyone knows why??

since the vamo is regulated it actually holds at the set voltage during the draw, where an ego will sag slightly. you cant just set what you would use on one battery on another and expect the exact same results.. the vamo is def more powerful then an ego.

i would just turn down the voltage or wattage. i have used as low as 1.4 ohms on the vamo with no problems.

Even there my boge f16 performs differently on vamo and ego, the flavour is still good on both (just less smooth on vamo, I feel like vamo does not consistently fire, it fires at a certain frequence so there are always many small pieces of time where it cuts off the eletronic current during one draw.), but with kanger t2, it is so different like heaven(ego) and hell(hell).

The Vamo is a cheap mod you just are not going to get great performance for something made so cheaply. Lots of the mass produced Chinese lower end mods have this same issue you are describing.
Kind of like most things you get what you pay for. Im not knocking the vamo just an observation of comparing mods in that price range to mods in the middle to high end price range.

edit: I guess price isnt a good judge of performance there are some mods in the 100$ price range that have the same issue the vamo dose.

Id run your 1.8ohm at more like 3.3-3.4V on the Vamo

I HIGHLY doubt you are in NO2 - RMS mode. What you are describing sounds just like AVG - NO1 mode. With my Vamo set to RMS - NO2 mode and the power adjusted in watts, that problem never occurs.

There are literally hundreds of Vamo owners on ECF, alone, who disagree with your assessment based on their own experience.

I agree with the RMS part. If its not set to that function Vamo doesn't work cleanly.

If you hook the Vamo up to a Oscilloscope you can see the voltage jumping all over the place. There is a 1 volt variance from the time you press the button till the 10 sec cut off happens.

No one is saying that the Vamo is as accurate as the Darwin, but it still does an excellent job, especially for the price. It's definitely one of the better models on the market today.

100% agreed I would not even say a Darwin there are several more obtainable mods out there with better performance but yes you are going to pay double the price.
The OP noticed the performance issues so I told him why he is having this issue. I would not use excellent as the adjective to describe the performance of a Vamo more like adequate or ok for the price. Most people wont notice or care about the slight preformance issue but some do.

The Darwin is definitely one of the top APV's made but is unfortunately rarely available.

I don't think the problem is the Vamo but more likely how he has it set, unless his Vamo is a defective one.

+1000! It may be inexpensive but, far from cheap. My very favorite mod

There is that I had to send back 2 in a row to get one that functioned properly. I have no investment in any mod manufacturer foreign or domestic. I have how ever metered and scoped several mods and own more than most will ever try so from my findings I can report what the readings and my comparisons come up with.
I am not trying to get in to a piing contest over who makes the best mod or even if the Vamo is worth its price. Im way past the stage where I try to convince people what to get or not get. I just simply report my observations from experience and they can draw their own conclusions.

I've got 3 of them and they all worked perfectly right out of the mail. All I do is put them in RMS 02 mode. I don't use a meter or scope to test them. I just use a protank or T3 and they provide a very nice solid vape all day for me.

Checked it many times and I am very very very sure that it was set on RMS mode NO2.

This video shows how to put it in RMS 02 mode, if that is indeed the problem.

 

[Snickerfritz]

Sorry, didn't see your last post...

 

[wv2win]

I would first try it by adjusting the power in power regulated mode to see if there is a difference. Next I would check it on another PV to make sure there is no problem with the Kanger. If there is still a problem after that, I would assume your Vamo is defective based on other people's experience.

Wahoo GaryInTexas says a Vamo with a protank or a t3 is the vape all end all. I guess all this other stuff out there is bunk. What have I been thinking all of this time doing all of this metering and scoping all I ever had to do was ask GaryInTexas boy do I feel silly
