Wow! Vamo VV/VW V3 for $32

[vapus]

Just got the Vamo (18650) from CheapEzy.com and want to share with everyone. It's a beautiful AVP. Hefty/sturdy and feels good in hand, would be a bit clumsy to put in pants pocket, but FANTASTIC to use if you don't need to carry it around a lot. The seller is very responsive. Packaging is EXTRA good. Shipping is quite speedy from China (9 days regular airmail). And the price is excellent.

A nice touch is the hole at the bottom, in case the battery misbehaves.

After a few months' experiment with flavors, atomizers, and batteries, I've decided VV is a must (VW is similar, but more convenient). Given an atomizer, voltage affects flavor a lot. With various atomizers, fixed-voltage batteries simply don't cut it for anything >1.5 Ohm. Simple Ego-twist type works well enough; fancier versions with LED displays etc are nice to have.

Which battery is slimmer than 18650? I'd like to have a VV/VW with changeable battery that's slimmer and easier to carry around.

Does the vamo v3 work good

The ProVari Mini is skinnier and shorter.

A good price but only comes with a 48 hour warranty. fasttech has a far better warranty Standard Return Policy: FastTech

Does the vamo v3 work good

I've had it for one day but so far so good. I like the VW and resistance-check features a lot. One atomizer I was about to throw away, but now it's one of my favorites -- it's 3.3 Ohm, way too high for fixed-voltage batteries, even the Ego Twist is not powerful enough. With this gig, it works great. I have four 18650 batteries. This will be my primary gig at home/office.

Thanks, but 18500 has almost the same diameter, only a bit shorter, no?

From what I remember of the side-by side comparisons I have seen, the ProVari looked skinnier.

 

[john333]

the diameter on all those batteries mentioned are the same. the difference is their height. each being about a 1/2 longer than the other.

I got one works great and battery last all day
still have my twist and ego but Im never without a device anymore

I hope this is helpful. The first two digits of the battery number is the diameter. The Last three is the length. So a 18650 is 18mm in diameter and 65.0mm in length. This excludes protection circuitry. Most of the non apvs are slimmer, but the battery isn't changable.

seems like a good deal.

Good information there Demonantis, I think not many people realize that the numbers mean something.

You can use the vamo in 18350 mode which slims it down considerably. I can't think of any VV/VW APVs that use replaceable slimmer batteries that are easily available.
I did some research a few months back and only came up with the L-Rider Robust (can't find anywhere that has them in stock though), which takes a 14500 battery and there is another that take 2 X stacked 14500 batteries out there somewhere but I can't remember the name - something like infinite or something like that.

I picked up the $58 kit.. also added some Panasonic 18650 batts. I am extremely happy so far. I still use my MVP, but the VM has taken over. The charger seems pretty good and the Panasonics are 3400 Mah if I recall.




The beauty ring can be raised to restrict airflow if I want a tighter draw on a tank....

Does the vamo v3 work good

I am on my 3rd VAMO. They do work very well (when they work). They are extremely "buggy" but for the price, I'm ok with that. If you don't mind spending a bit more, I would recommend an iTaste SVD.

At fasttech For two dollars more I got the itaste svd over vamo. Like the looks a little better and all reviews of both are almost exactly equal. Vamo edges out as its usually much cheaper than svd but most say svd is superior. At the end of the day it's all in the eye of the beholder. They are both great vv/vw for a third do the price of the provari.

I bought a V3 a week or so ago, and I'm very pleased with it. Simple to use, vv/vw, resistance check, battery life indicator, different rings for stacking batteries, feels great in the hand (which is a big plus)...
I would def recommend it for anyone looking to move up from an ego and start experimenting with vv/vw.
I bought mine from MVS with a couple 18350's and a charger for like $70 or so. I know I can buy cheaper from other places, but I would MUCH rather pay a little extra money here, than send it to China.

 

[SIXteenINdaCLIP]

I bought my vamo v2 from MVS as well and got great customer service from them (the 510 connector on my vamo was noticeably crooked and they replaced it for free within a week). It's a great device and feels more solid than the evic IMO.

If you're looking to save some money, the vamo and itaste kits from fasttech are a good deal just be sure to get the kit with the nitecore charger (good charger for the price).

Very close to being spot on, 0 at the end means its a round type battery cause you can actual get square or flattery shaped batteries

i have to agree i think the svd is a beter bang for the buck not by a lot but it is.
