dotAIO V3 Auto Mode
In auto mode, the dotAIO V3 sets the power from the coil’s resistance, and + and – change it within that range. dotmod’s manual gives these values:
| Coil resistance | Auto starts at | Range with + and – |
|---|---|---|
| 0.10–0.25Ω | 70W | 5–75W |
| 0.25–0.55Ω | 35W | 5–40W |
| 0.55–0.85Ω | 20W | 5–22W |
| 0.85–1.45Ω | 16W | 5–18W |
| 1.45–3.00Ω | 10W | 5–12W |
dotmod rates the dotAIO Pods at 40W to 60W (0.2Ω), 25W to 40W (0.3Ω), 18W to 22W (0.6Ω) and 12W to 16W (1.0Ω). We sell dotAIO Replacement Pods in 2-packs.
How to Set Up the dotAIO V3
- Fit a battery: insert an 18650 matching the + and – marks on the tray, lay the battery ribbon across it, and close the battery door.
- Fill the tank: fill through the fill port under the silicone plug, and don’t overfill it.
- Fit the tank: with the silicone plug facing out, set the tank on the connector, put the tank door back and tighten the drip tip.
- Turn it on: press the power button 5 times quickly.
- Pick a mode: press the power button 3 times, move with + and -, and press the power button to select.
- Set the airflow: rotate the airflow control for a tighter or looser draw.
Who the dotAIO V3 Is For
The dotmod dotAIO V3 suits vapers who want a pocket all-in-one with a replaceable 18650, up to 80W and temperature control, and a screen they can make their own. For the earlier model with an LCD and up to 75W, see the dotmod dotAIO V2. For a translucent body, see the dotAIO V2 Lite.
Good to know: The dotAIO V3 doesn’t come with a battery. It takes one 18650, sold separately, and charges it in the device over USB-C.
