Hello all. Obviously new to the ECF. Been reading and searching tons here, and watching the usual's on Youtube, such as Phil, Dimitris, Nick, etc. I am about 5 weeks new into vaping. Trying to squash a 25 year analog habit. Going pretty well for now. As more info given tends to yield a much better answer, this post is somewhat wordy. I apologize in advance, but hey no such thing as too much information right?
I started off with a 900maH Kanger Evod bat, using Evod clearomizers with 2.5 heads. I do have an Anyvape Davide with Kanger heads, but my ego is bluntly a joke with this tank, so it is in the box for a bit. It's come to a point where I am simply not happy with the performance of my ego system so I am upgrading and moving on. This brings me to my new PV on its way.
Ordered a stainless Vamo V5, 2 Efest 18650 Flat Tops, Trustfire tr-001 charger, and a Kanger Protank II. I know all my current tanks fit the Vamo. Also have some 30 gage Kanthal A-1, and some 2mm Silica on the way for rebuilding. I will be mostly working out cotton wick builds with micro coils, but wanted some silica in case I become frustrated while working out my amount of cotton. I also plan on upgrading my batteries to AW's, and maybe exploring some 18350 configs. That's later though. After all this rambling of background info, I finally have my question.
Should I use a safety fuse in the Vamo or not? I appreciate the feedback, and look forward to becoming part of this great community.
EDIT: If my understanding is correct, I should only need this in mechanical mods, as the circuitry of the Vamo has protection already against soft shorts, of which the fuse would not handle anyways.

I would offer is to upgrade your Trustfire tr-001 charger to a Nitecore i2 Intellicharger. The Trustfire tr-001 charger takes a long time to charge batts and is not the best quality. Do NOT charge your batts unattended.
