Need help understanding my v5

[Daniel_c]

Hey everyone so I just got my brand new v5. I have dual coil 1.8ohm Aspire bdc tanks and protank two tanks with single coil1.8ohm heads. I am using heather's heavenly vapes juice and I am wondering first of all if I should use watts or volts. Also I am wondering ways to make it taste better because I had it set at 6.5 watts with the aspire tank and it was tasting like burnt minty wood with my vanilla blade liquid from hhv. This is my first vv/vw device so I'm trying to get just a really broken down basic understanding of the device so that I don't burn coil heads because they aren't cheap and I also want a good tasting flavor and not this burnt flavor. Any help would be great.

For starters, hold the left button down till it displays volts and keep holding it until it says RMS if you haven't already. 6.5 watts is nothing for an aspire BDC. I run my Aspires anywhere from 8 - 12 watts. They can handle more because of the dual coil. Are you sure your coils are primed before you start vaping?

Also, watch this video, it explains everything about the v5.

Already saw that video and what do you mean prime them, sorry I'm kind of new to vaping so how do I prime them

Usually you can just let them sit after filling for 5 - 10 minutes then do a few dry pulls. Priming them just means getting liquid into the coil. The easiest way to do it is to take the tank off your mod/battery, plug the bottom and do a few pulls. If you see little air bubbles coming out of the holes in the coil then it wasn't primed.

I'll usually do that + let them soak. I find that the BDC's don't prime as easily as say Kanger coils because it's like a cartomizer.

Oh and don't worry about burning up the coil... They can take it. I pulse mine at 15 watts for dry burning.

I too am a new VAMO V5 owner. I purchased one to back up my Provari and got it last week. I have not been disappointed; I have, however, been confused. Today I started experimenting with the watts setting in RMS mode. I think I am beginning to understand why people like the variable wattage. Apparently different supply systems, flavors of e-liquids, and different PG/VG ratio e-liquids can be "tweaked" to the user's preference using RMS/Watts. I will continue to experiment with my new Mod.

I must say these things: I am in no way disappointed with my V5. I DO like the fact, that even though it will not fire a supply device under 1.2 ohms, it WILL read sub ohms! I have an IGO W, at .9 ohms, that I drip to on a mech mod. I can't use it on the V5. I CAN, however, put it on my V5 and get an accurate sub-ohm reading. I find this function invaluable and desirable.

I finally, must say, to make my post official: CAW!

@Daniel_c

Your Vamo if you have not already done it you are operating in AVG/Mean mode. The correct operating mode is RMS.
Press and hold the Left (-) button for 10 sec. Note: at 3 sec you will see the battery voltage. Continue to hold the button

Yeah after some tuning the vamo is pretty bad. You should purchase an airflow controller or 510 to 510 plug to save the threads from wearing!
