    Troubleshooting my Vamo Variable Watt/Volt APV

    in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues

    Posted

    I'm not sure if your problem is related to mine but I'll let you know what happened with mine because I'm sure you'll run into it sooner or later.

    I have a v2 vamo. I had only been using vision tanks and had never had a problem. Recently I got a Kanger pro tank and was having trouble getting the vamo to fire it. Here's my original thread.

    N that thread proteus pointed me to the vamo center pin problems where the pin gets depressed and won't make a solid connection with the tank. That was happening to me. Sometimes the vamo would read the Kanger as 2.2 ohms and sometimes as high as 5 ohms. I was running the vamo in VW mode and burned out a couple of the Kanger coils pretty quickly.

    Anyway, I fixed the center pin problem and no longer get the random ohm readings. Here's a really long thread with several ways you can fix it. This seems to be fairly common on the Vamo but it's an easy fix. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/375871-vamo-ohm-error-fix.html

    One of two problems is occuring, #1 was more then likely caused by #2. #1The positive pin on the KPT has been pushed in to far causing intermittent connection with the vamo pin. You can try to gently pull the pin on the KPT out with some needlenose pliers or tweezers. Note i said gently, if not careful you will pull the whole coil assembly out. #2 the center pin on the vamo has been pushed down by over tightening devices into the 510/ego connection.

    Proteus:

    You were correct. The center pin was pushed in too far. I found several threads on that other forum as to how to fix the center pin problem. I've never thought I was over tightening any of my tanks but I guess it doesn't take much pressure to depress the center pin.

    So now I know the Kanger wasn't the problem. Now I just need to work on getting some of the air of its draw. Has anyone tried one of the tank air flow controllers with the pro tank?http://www.madvapes.com/tank-airflow-controller.html

    Need help with Kanger Pro Tank

    I recently got a Kanger Pro Tank after reading all the good and some not so good reviews. I've been using it on a Vamo. As far as I know they should be "compatible" as is since they are both 510 threaded.

    If I screw the tank all the way in (but not overly tight) the tank won't work. If I hold the right button of the Vamo it shows the resistance of the atomizer as 9.9 ohms which basically means it doesn't think one is there. I have to screw the tank only about half way into the Vamo for it to connect with the atomizer. I have to constantly press the right button until I get close to the resistance of the atomizer. As I get close it could show up anywhere between 2.2 (the actual rating) and 6.0. And then only a slight twist either way could dislodge the connection completely (which isn't hard to do since it's not screwed in tight).

    I usually run the Vamo in VW mode at around 6.5w. I burned out the first atomizer in the pro tank in only a few hours. I'm guessing this happened because too much power was being sent to the atomizer when the resistance reading shifted from 2.2 to something significantly higher before it became disconnected. I've since started using it on VV mode only to prevent this from reoccurring. I've also noticed the base of the pro tank gets very warm after a few draws. So far I've only used the two atomizer coils that it shipped with for testing.

    I don't have any of these problems with any other of my three different brand tanks on the Vamo so it seems to be isolated to the pro tank. Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? Any fix or just try returning it? Thanks for any advice.

    My wife and I both got one of these kits. I got manual batteries and she got the autos. It didn't take long for her to want to switch to the manuals. When ever I tried using the autos I found that you have to pinch the seam with two fingers between the carto and the battery in order to get the battery to activate reliably. I'm quite happy with the manuals, however. I use them when away from home when I need something very small and discrete.

    Need the PROs info on Protank

    Thanks for all the great info on the KPT. I just got one and can hopefully try it out tonight. I ordered a clear one from a place online and they accidentally sent a pink tinted one. I couldn't bring myself to use a pink one so I've had to wait a couple of extra days for the replacement. I've only been using vivi tanks and cartos so far so I'm looking forward to the new one.

    Vamo Kit!

    Yeah that thread is huge. That's where I got the link above. They aren't slow to ship like the guy in the other thread posted. I ordered yesterday and got shipping confirmation this morning. I did learn quite a bit about all of the different types of batteries in that thread. The way some were talking about risks of battery explosions, I'm expecting someone to eventually post that their Vamo went bamo :-)

    Blu - Seriously?

    in General Vaping Discussion

    I also started with blu, only disposables though and when I decided that an e-cig would be enough to make me quit smoking I bought an Inferno starter kit from Volcano. I'm seriously considering going to the Johnson Creek website and asking them which flavor blu uses for their classic tobacco carts, I really liked them and would love to fill a tank or two with it :yes

    I'm pretty sure it's Johnson Creeks "Domestic" tobacco juice. I got all three of their VG tobacco juices (domestic, Tennessee Cured, and Silverthorn) and domestic is pretty close. I think the JC has a bit more flavor.

    Aquavaporcig.com Shipping

    Not to revive a thread from a few weeks ago, but I've had great experiences with aquavaporcig. I've had multiple orders with quick shipping. Also had advance warranty replacement shipped to me the same day on a battery charger. Unfortunately, online vendors are kind of like restaurants, it's only as good as your last meal.

    What do you use on your VAMO?

    I've used a few knock off mini novas with some success but I had problems with the tank threads breaking off on the caps. I've been using the larger 3.5 ml vision tanks with much better success. These are the ones using http://www.aquavaporcig.com/35ml-Vision-STV-VIVI-NOVA-Replaceable-Atomizer-Head-Tank_p_506.html

    So far no leaks. I've been using almost 100 VG in them. I usually keep my vamo at about 6.5 or 7 watts depending on the flavor im using.

    Dulcis PG/VG ratio

    in General eLiquid Discussion

    Posted

    Hi. I've seen some good reviews of the Dulcis sold here. Does anyone know the pg vg ratio. I can't seem to find it. I am using the mobile site so maybe it's just doesn't have all the details.

    Also, how are the other juices sold here and are they the same ratio? I have a hard time with higher pg ratios. Thanks in advance.
