best wattage voltage for for the vamo

[simonsays]

I Don,t use my vamo that often to actually vape with, its mostly relegated to acting as a coil resistance checker. When I do, it's usually set in the 8 to 10 watt range. A couple of seconds fiddling to find the sweet spot for the type of atomiser and juice that you have on the go.

Tubbyengineer the vamo's lower limit is 1.3ohm if I remember correctly

I must admit i have been finding 6 watts enough, i go any higher and i get toasted flavours

so im getting this right, its one or the other not both that you adjust. i was thinking you set both?

This is exactly what I thought. It's amazing what you miss when your reading loads of stuff. Being playing around with my new vamo changing both settings. At least that's cleared that up and I can now just change the one. Makes life a bit easier. Glad you asked this question.

Sounds like an airlow problem, have you tried loosening your tank by a quarter turn, a bit more airflow will improve juice flow on bcc type tanks - I actually get something similar with the Kayfun - not enough juice so it vapes a bit dry, I'm still dialling in the airflow for this new setup...

Thanks for that Tubbyengineer!
I was using my protank, backed it off 1/4 turn and BAM! flavour is all good!

One thing that I found and it was only after watching a review about the vamo was change the mean and rms setting. If i have it on mean everything tastes burnt at about 8w but with rms on it's all good.

Remember I'm a complete novice here and if you've done that already .. sorry my bad.

Read this & tried it with a cheapo clearomizer on my hyper battery(often charges to 5+ volts) which usually tastes burnt & it cured the burnt taste so pulled out my Dremel toolkit,quick poke about the drill bits & found one that was a fit in the clearomizers air-holes,added 2 more air-holes & now my hyper-battery (@ 4.7 volts presently) on my clearomizer now gets my mouth watering and though hard to judge in artificial light,seems to have increased vapour production.

Thanks Doofry for the heads-up.

You can solve a lot of airflow probs with an airflow controller. It's a twisty thing that sits inbetween the mod and the tank and lets you adjust the airflow without making your tank loose. Will set you back less then three of your english pounds from lots of vendors.
Has the added bonus of protecting the threads on the mod from many screwings.

To VV or to VW. I use watts. I find it means I have to adjust the settings less often. I still change the settings depending on the time of day, my mood, how many swallows are flying due north, etc but I don't need to remember what resistance atty I've got on it, or that a 1.8ohm coil works better for me at 4.1V a 2.2ohm at 4.6V I just set it 8watts and then adjust up or down to taste from there depending on how I feel.

What resistance to use? - generally speaking lower is better up to a point. If you use watts then it doesn't really matter. Higher resistance attys will drain your battery faster, but having said that I find that lower resistance coils vape better for me, the sweet spot being 1.5 to 1.8ohm on a VW regulated device. If your higher resistance coil has more wraps in it and you have more wick coverage as a result then it'll vape better than a low res coil with fewer wraps. (The more coil there is in contact with the wick the more liquid you can vapourise at a time, so the better the vape)

If I'm coiling something for a mech mod I aim at about 1.1 1.2ohms or thereabouts but that's cos the battery is giving the coil a tad under 4v most of the time and I prefer something around 10watts for the liquids I use in that.
