Are there any drawbacks to the vamo V5? I have all but made my decision.

All I can say is, I love my Vamo5. I have only had it about a month and I love it.
I 'stepped up' from the Ego-C Twist to a Vamo V3 and have been really happy with it. My understanding is that it and the V5 are relatively similar aside from the styling on the outer casing.
And my understanding, which mind you has only been gleaned from reading, is that the Vamo is on par with many - if not most - of the cylindrical VV/VW mods out there. It's mainly becomes a matter of preference for the menu layout and the ways that you access the menu, read the OLED screen, placement of the 'fire' button, and so on. Largely subjective for the most part.
All that said, as much as I enjoy my V3, I do have an Innokin VTR on order and plan on buying my first mechanical mod soon. I'll still use my V3, but like so many other vapers, I enjoy variety.

My understanding is that they work fine, but the threads wear out really quickly in some cases. For the price point, it is a good deal I suppose. People who own them seem to like them.
Do research on how common (or uncommon) it is to have issues with them.

Threads where out quicker then some mods, susceptible to denting and scratching if dropped.
Get the stainless version it holds up to abuse a lot better then the other finishes.
The V5 uses the same board as the V3. only real difference is the styling. For the price I would go with the V3 just to make sure it is something you like. It costs about half as much. You can find it on fasttech. Be warned that fasttech takes a while to get you stuff to you so if you NEED it now look elsewhere, but if you can wait I would start there. Also dont order batteries from there, I had an order held up for over a month for one battery I ended up canceling the order and going to a different site.

The Vamo V5 is heavy & not really pocket friendly if you plan to take it out. I prefer the iTaste MVP 2 for when I'm on the go.
Thanks for the info! will do more resurch till I get it figured out, or get a "side by side" comparison.
The Vamo V5 is the best of the Vamo's IMO. Based on the features and the cost, it's a very good VW APV. The only drawback with all the Vamo's is the soft 510 threading. I would be willing to pay an extra $20 if they would get top of the line threading for the connector.
The weak link is absolutely the threading. But, there is a ready solution to that issue. The ego to ego adapter.
the 2 issues with the Vamo are...
the 510 threads are chorme plated brass ( which will wear out in a few months)
and they DONT like to be dropped...
I went to an SVD after having 2 Vamos die from falling less than 40"
