Why VAMO is not compatible with Kanger T2

[e-pipeman]

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

Well, metering and scoping are fine, but what matters is how the end-user feels. I know that you are speaking from experience but so are others on this thread. I'm sure that no-one meant to cause you any offence.

Im not offended just being silly. I like to argue I can go all day;-)

+1 to that!

Love my Vamo v2...works great with any tank I throw at it.

Yup.

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

Thanks for you suggest, but again, I am so very sure that I set it to N02 mode....

I think perhaps you managed to miss the point. The Vamo is a cheap mass produced PV that provides an excellent vape to most of us. My goal is not to find a $30 PV that performs well on your bench testing. My goal was simply to find a device that delivered an excellent vape to me. I'm not really sure why you would have expected it to test as well as a $200 device.

Well put - thanks!

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.

I am quite convinced by your point, may I know which mod does not do this and gives consistent voltage??

What the Vamo and other regulated MODS in that class use what is known as Pulse Width Modulation.

If you want constant volatge, use an ego battery or a mechanical. One constant voltage until the battery begins to deplete.

The previous poster is quite right. You'll do well on an Ego batt - and it's so practical for out-and-about if you just chuck an Evod on top imho..

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??

I'm vaping Dragons Blood with a 1.7 ohm Octopus @ 7.5 watts with my Vamo as I type this. No problems whatsoever. My regular all day vape is Protank with 1.8 ohm coil.


Edit: Note to self - Never hook Vamo up to oscilloscope to vape.

Are you running dual 18350 batteries by any chance?

I had 2 Vamos and they were always fine, short mode, long mode in RMS 2, other than the one time I tried to run dual 18350's, and then it was way too much.

I usually just stuck with Panasonic 18650's in mine as my take to work PV.

Sigelei Zmax telescope is probably your best bet for the dollar and able to use all 18serries bats. Im sure if you hunt around with a coupon code you can find one for around 60 bucks.

They all use PWM including Provari but its the quality of the chip that comes in to play. Kind of like a bottom end Acer verses a flag ship Macbook they are both computers both have motherboards, screens and processors but the mac book just has better stuff under the hood the same applys to mods.

What I am afraid of ego and mecha battery is the natural voltage variation, as the battery drains the voltage drops, it starts so high at 4.2v and drop down to around 3.2v before another recharge. It is kind of big variation, mathematically a 1.8 ohm should have burn taste at 4.2v, dont know why I never had it with ego but if I set my vamo to 4.2, it is burn for sure..
On the other hand, my vamo works very good with vivi nova 2.8ohm at 4.6v, I dont have problem with protank and evod 1.8ohm either. Only this kanger t2 is a pain in the aaaassss on vamo, I have 4 of those, all do the same bad thing.

I am running it on one 18650 battery, it came with the set from fasttech.

OK. Right now I have a version 1 Lavatube in my hand. It has an Evod on top. It is vaping brilliantly at 4 volts.

The next device I pick up is a Vamo v2 with an Octopus on top. The build I have on it runs in at 2.1 ohms. I am vaping it at 4.3 volts and it is stunning - very good flavour from the Ekowool wick.Nichrome coil.

The next device I pick up is a Vamo v2 with a Protank on top. Comes in at 1.9 ohm and running at 8.5 watts. Loads of vapour and excellent flavour (no, I do not remove the top flavour wick).

When you find a combination of things that work for you - go for it. Don't ever listen to nay-sayers. As for anyone suggesting more money than you want to spend - don't do it! You will avoid much heartache this way.

Protank has top flavour wick??
But I am agree with what you said, I was so curiouse about everything, spent 350+euros during 1 month, bought a lot of different clearos, cartos, batteries...now I am planning to try RDAs, another money hole.
In fact I am very pleased with vamo except when it combines with kanger t2.
