Vamo V5 and "danger" reading

[chanelvaps]

Got my Vamo a few weeks ago and really never messed around with it much as far as settings and menu. Read a thread last night that said it was important to put it in RMS mode so I followed instructions and did that.
Nothing has been the same since. Sometimes it reads V, sometimes it reads W, never know where it is at and then today when I was changing a coil I went to check the OHMS and got "danger" flashing, some smoke (from coil)
Turned it off, took out battery and now I am scared of it.
What in the world happened and how do I get it back to the no nonsense way I had it

Never heard of the flashing Danger readout. No2 (RMS) should be the setting you want. Holding the the + button for 10 seconds or so should change it to the other setting. But if it is going back and forth between watts and volts, I would be leery of it.

I think I got that danger message about a week ago. My Vamo V5 is probably 3 months old now. My bat was around 3.6v so there were no issues there and it wouldn't fire a few times and said low voltage which is odd because it's never happened before and I've had the V1/V2/V5 and been using those 3 for a year now. I figured it was probably my AW IMR 18650 bats as god knows how many times I've charged the two. Anyways, I saw some text on the vamo for a nano second and couldn't read it but it was pretty long and nothing I've ever seen before. I've had no issues with it since but I think it was just the safety feature kicking in. I run my 2 protanks 2.6ohms at 6.5 watts so that's not high or anything but if it happens again I'll change the spring on it as I have better ones than the stock one and I'm in the market for a new bat anyways so I can update as I go along once I get more facts if it happens again.

The Vamo 5 has an output mode setting. If you hold down the plus/up button (the button that you hold down to read ohms) long enough with no load on it. It should say 9.9 ohms. But hold it down long enough and it will give you a MOBILE OUTPUT ON message. If you attach a load in this mode it will keep firing and eventually give a danger message.

IDK if this is your problem. But if it is, you can press the fire button and it will exit this mode.

I wonder if that is the firmware from TECS MSK-2000

Looks like it could very well be. The screen shots from the link is basically the same as the Vamo 5.
