    All these new hybrids hitting the market

    I agree tc1, you hit the nail on the head with me. I have a wife, two kids, and full time job, and several other hobbies. I suppose I could write some code to alert me when something goes available but why would I spend more time to do that? I've been waiting on the Cisco AMP tank too but it...

    Tired of dead batteries at home? try a Provari Passthrough!

    :toast: I totally thought the same thing when I saw this thing. A male RCA plug? Really?!?! But maybe they use the RCA ends that Monster cables use on those 30 dollar RCA cables they sell in BestBuy? :blink: The first thing to pop to mind was Robin Williams' standup routine about God...

    Do you think the success of the VAMO will make some products fade away?

    I don't think that the VAMO in and of itself will eliminate other things. I think, as Kiwi has said, that it is a market change with a wide range of diversity and price ranges with a broad range of features that you see as the big change. The guy that got me into vaping has told me several...

    Vamo Fall / Drop / Loose Button / where is my click & how do I fix it ?

    You can also take the Vamo apart by taking the lower part off of the electronics section. It is actually easier as you can simply put a the vamo on a fulcrum covered with something protective and just try to bend the Vamo over the fulcrum while turning it a bit each time. It will come apart...

    Tired of dead batteries at home? try a Provari Passthrough!

    That's got to be the goofiest looking hack for a premium device I've ever seen. I mean really?

    Help me out here....

    Help you out? Sure! Which way did you come in? Just kidding. The wire gauge and length (wraps) is the two main factors to the end resistance of your coil. Each wire has a set number of ohms per inch/mm etc and you can use that information to determine what length of the wire you need to...

    Vamo Fall / Drop / Loose Button / where is my click & how do I fix it ?

    The turn via the positive post is likely the simplest fix. I've had a Vamo apart and you will almost certainly mark it up taking it apart. The board isn't glued in place as you might expect. The board is installed in a manner that would normally prevent it from moving but it would seem your...

    Choices between APVs - I need to make one!

    Samazon, Now you have to suffer through a common vaper illness. You've already exhibited the first signs of the symptoms which is the "hope it gets here soon". This will likely manifest further with checking for shipping notices then looking for tracking numbers. The last symptom is the...

    Choices between APVs - I need to make one!

    I agree about going with Stainless and also would let you know that you can order skins for most of these if you want colors and designs. The Stainless is durable but a bit slick on the Vamo. A skin lets you personalize it and improve the grip. Between the Vamo, Sigelei, and SmokTech, the...

    Choices between APVs - I need to make one!

    The Sigelei is bigger and has a nicer screen. Neither will natively accept a Kanger T3. The Sigelei would be my preference by the SmokTeck is smaller.

    Should I buy a Darwin?

    If you are doing rebuilds I would think the Darwin would be too amp limited for your needs. It is also finicky with the size/types of heads due to the connector. There may be some nice high-end mods coming based on the Evolv DNA20d which would have plenty of amps for rebuilds or you could...

    All the choices are overwhelming me!!!

    If you just want a Variable Voltage APV and you aren't concerned about the cost then the Provari is certainly a well tried and tested APV and would be my recommendation. If you wish to have Variable Wattage and/or other features then there are a lot of other options to pick from. All of...

    Please help!

    If you pull apart a head from say a Vivi Nova or a Kanger T3 you will find the bottom pin insulator to be about the same thing that is used around the 510 pin on the VAMO. I have not tried to use one of these as a replacement but by appearance it seems it would be a close cousin if not the same.

    NICORETTE® Inhaler ...

    I was amazed when I took up vaping. I didn't miss or require will power to stick with vaping and quit smoking. I had very good advice and got good stuff to vape out the gate and have never even thought about a cigarette. I will say that at the behest of a friend I did try two puffs off of a...

    explanation please (vv vs. vw)

    I have ran some tests on a coil I built myself and the resistance changes depending on the juice, how hot the head is, and general expansion and contraction of the coil. In my tests I've seen variances from one fire of the coil to the next in tenths of an ohm. I've read that VV is more...

    SS Vamo display fading and bad spring

    I have seen the week display issue when the battery didn't have good contact. I would suspect the spring or seating of the battery first from my experience. I even noticed when I saw this "screen fade" effect that I could tap the display and it would come back but what I was actually doing...

    Please help!

    You might try taking a close-up picture of the 510 connection and posting it for review. I can't imagine the insulator coming out of the 510 connector without some work. Even if you were over-tightening heads it would tend to push the post and insulator down and if the insulator were to...

    VAMO purchase advice

    I don't have nor have had an Xtar charger but the Nitecore i2 is a champ in my book. Just pop in 18350 or 18650 in any of the slots and the negative slide makes it easy. You can charge any size in any slot at the same time. No settings, no spacers, no need to do anything but pop a battery...

    Which APV To Get???

    Evolv Kick: The Kick – Instructions « Evolv I think you'd be fine with a VAMO. Just buy one at a US vender so you can have a return avenue if needed. Most offer a warranty but the length is variable between venders.
