what exactly is the difference between using the variable wattage and variable voltage settings on the vamo v2?

Caveate: I am REALLY new to all this stuff
I have been looking seriously at the Vamo to replace my ego-c's. One of the things that is attracting me is the impression I got from PBusardo's review of the Vamo that you can set your wattage that you like and the vamo will adjust the power itself based on what resistance atty you have screwed onto it to keep you at your wattage.
/me no longer teaches high school science
/me does not want to have to muck with ohm's law anymore

Yeah I watched that review as well I'm just not really sure what all of that means haha. I might just be a little slow though
Myrany's advice is correct. You'll find using the wattage or RMS setting a lot easier than using it as variable voltage. It will do the math for you whenever you change delivery devices, and you will only occasionally have to make very small adjustments.
Alright thanks thats actually a big relief because from the video's ive seen on working with ohm's law it seems very overwhelming having to figure everything out.
No need for math, just use this chart

I'm doing just that. Well, not to totally replace my eGo-C's, but to supplement them, especially at home, and especially on the weekends. I ordered the Vamo Saturday and it shipped today.
The vamo is pretty good for the price. I like the variable wattage. I still adjust it when I change tanks and or devices though. For me it isn't a set it and leave it alone deal. I also use it as an addition to my other batteries. It is too big to drop it in my pocket and go, and I wouldn't take it to work.
Variable wattage is a definite advantage. When you vape, the resistence of your atty or carto changes due to use. With variable wattage, the power level automatically adjusts to that change in resistence to keep the atty/carto providing vapor at the level you first set it. Plus as mentioned above, if you change to a different resistence atty/carto, the Vamo will adjust to that change, also.
Another nice feature with the Vamo is that it has a robust 5 amp switch, unlike ego models such as the twist that have a weaker 2.5 amp switch. With the 5 amp switch you can use just about any atty or carto on the market. You cannot do that with the ego type PV's, as they do not play well with lower resistence heads.
And in the long run you will save money on batteries as they only cost about $11 in comparison to many APV's in this price range that charge $25+ for their batteries.
Good Luck

You can make the Vamo physically smaller by using one 18350 battery.
well according to you guys the vamo is whole lot cooler than i had previously thought. I'm now even more happy I decided to order one. Thanks for the info guys!
I love my Vamo. I frequently get that bug where I want something new to play with but I'm having a hard time finding something that is cooler, with any new "ghee whiz" features! Tempted to just buy a second vamo as a backup
It is true, that is what the design is meant for. However, I'm finding the resistance reading mechanism that decides what voltage to give from it's reading works MUCH better with the single 18650 as opposed to stacked 18350s. Additionally there is some sort of intolerance when using dual coil cartos. Despite the benefits of using the VW mode, I tend to stick with VV mode and simply tweek when changing to different coil resistance.
All that said, I am happy with the VAMO, the kit cost me twice that of a eGo Twist single battery, and it is easily twice as good and will last much longer. I've been using carto-tanks made by Welcome to Valley View Vapes - Your Home for Quality Inexpensive Tanks and Vaping Supplies The economy tanks are $8, and they are the only plastic tank that has NOT given me a plasticky taste, they come with a cartomizer and cheap plastic drip tip, so it sort of feels like the tank is really $5. The one I got is a side fill, with a small aluminum screw on side of tank. Super easy fill, but need to use a needle. They have pyrex tanks as well for $20-35. They are a small operatrion and seem to sell out often. They post thier current processing time on front page. I got my order two days before I expected it.
Yep LOVE my Vamo. With regular PV and delivery devices (holds and vaporizes the juice) I'd have to figure the ohms and then calculate the proper voltage to achieve the wattage I wanted. With the Vamo I just set my wattage and it automatically fires at the same power level regardless of the ohms I'm using. Also nice if you don't own a multi tester as the Vamo also measures the ohms of your delivery device.
Maybe your Vamo is defective because I have none of those issues. I use 1.5 ohm dual coil cartos in a tank with the VW's and the Vamo works like a charm. Due to the dual coils you need to adjust the wattage up (11.5 - 12.0 watts) but it maintains the vape consistently for 12+ hours.
