Vamo and tanks

[hvac999]

Sorry, I was thinking about the ProTank I just ordered. I haven't seen the smok Tech carto tanks there. I just got an email today that they are back in stock at Madvapes - Electronic Cigarettes, E Cigarettes, E-Cigs . I have gotten EVODs fro fasttech.

Thanks everyone for your help. I will definitely be picking up the adapter and I'm leaning towards the Pyrex carto tank I think.
You guys are awesome and so helpful

Funny that, a T3 fits in mine perfectly. Go figure...

I think there must be several versions of the Vamo because I was on a thread and a member was amazed that I had an EVOD on my vamo when his didn't have ego threading. Now maybe he had a clone or something, but I know he didn't have ego threads.

You're absolutely right, and I'm feeling more than a little silly right now When I was Vamo shopping I was told I needed an adapter, so I got the adapter and never even tried my T3s and Evods without it Well, whaddaya know . . . they fit without an adapter!!

Thanks, Aglet, for setting me straight

~~scurrying off to edit that dumb post~~

LOL, no worries Smokachino - Like Myrany said, I too use a straight-sided adapter on mine all the time (when I am not using an EVOD or a CE5) to help save the threads. Not sure if it's necessary, but I feel better using it.

Now that tank looks like it was made to fit the vamo! Very cool. How is the flavor?

Thanks, Aglet! The more I think about it, the advice to use the adapter also mentioned the Vamo threads being kinda fragile and easily bent. The ones on my V2 feel pretty sturdy, so maybe they were talking about earlier versions. In any case, I'd hate to waste $2 and will continue using mine, too

I have to use a 510-510 adapter on my VAMO when I'm using my Smoktech UDCT tank on it. Everything else I have works fine on it, Cartomator Tank, iClear 30, Vision V3s... I run it at 15W when I'm using dual coils and it vapes like a champ. Does anyone have the problem of their tube getting pulled apart a little and you have to push it back together?

I just ordered a vamo and while I am waiting for it to be delivered I wanted to get some idea of what to use with it.
I am a flavor junkie so in your opinion which tank gives the best flavor? Right now I use egos with ce3 clearos. The few tanks I have tried in the past have all seemed like the flavor was muted.
Also I use 80 pg 20 vg ratio on my juices will this still work well with a tank?
i have been vaping for about a year but I am still smoking 5 cigs a day. I am hoping with the right setup to be able to give them up completely!

I've just followed your lead with the vamo from fasttech. I've gone for the ss vamo kit with the 2 vivi novas. After reading through the specs of the vamo and the novas, I understand the atomiser resistance is 3.5ohms which seems high to me.
I prefer a strong TH, currently achieved with 2.2ohm iclear 16s, 18mg juice @ 70/30 pg. I don't particularly want to change my mixes - I have several steeping at the moment. my current battery (an ego) with the iclears are running at about 5.6 watts. with the vamo, will I be better increasing the voltage to about 6v, or setting the wattage at whatever, to achieve the same as my previous setup

Stay far away from the protank. Vivi nova would be a wiser choice. It has its own issues but no where near the amount the protank has.

 

[sjh4chiefs]

Well I picked some tanks to try out. I got the I clear 30, smock tech skinny dct and a boge f16. I also got the 510 to 510 adapter, some boge cartos, and the tank filler tool. Now I just have to wait for everything to be delivered!!
I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for all the help.

Just goes to show you how much the preferred clearo varies from one person to another. I have had the exact opposite experience that you did. My protank has been a trooper and I want to use my vivi nova for skeet.

 

[Azmo]

I agree. My Vivi Novas have been nothing but a nightmare and my protank has been awesome.

 

[trouble1000]

Guess I've been lucky really - Protank has been amazing and most of my novas have to. Did have problems with the vivi novas I started with, but as soon as I got onto Vision vivi nova minis, no major issues at all

 

[Bawn]

My protank is working much better with the new heads I received. Vivi still has better flavor but its not by much. I find the vivi's very tempermental. You really need to dial in the volts/watts. A tad too high and you burn it. Plus the constant tipping. As long as it works i don't care just need to work.

I like using my Smok Tech pyrex carto tank. I also use EVODs, but I use an ego to 510 adapter for convenience. If you don't use an adapter for the EVOD the base will be out of reach, recessed.
