Buying a mod

[optsmk]

So I'm buying a mod and I just want to know if there is anything else I need to get. So far I have the two items below.

One of these
$48.39 Vamo V3 6-in-1 Variable Voltage E-Cigarettes Set with OLED Screen - 2*18350 / chromed brass / US plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

And two of these.
$5.33 UltraFire 18350 3.7V 1200mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have never bought a mod like this so I'm not sure if that will do. I have all the tanks and stuff that I need... I think

Um I would stay away from fire batteries you want top quality batteries and charger

 

[cramptholomew]

The vamo seems to be a well regarded mod, but batteries named anything *fire are usually not recommended. I'd probably go with at least Efest IMR batteries, but preferably AW IMR batteries.

Edit: no *fire charger either. Nitecore or Efest LUC chargers are good ones.

The vamo is a good device from everything I've heard, but I wouldn't buy the kit and definitely not those batteries. You'd be better off getting just the mod and a decent charger (nitecore and xtar seem to be the brands of choice) and some IMR batteries. As a general rule any battery with "fire" in the name is not something you want in a device that's going to be inches from your face.

You look good. Just make sure you are getting a charger with the vamo. And you may want to get an 18650 battery as well

 

[Rule62]

Don't buy batteries with "fire" anywhere in the name.
Your best bet is AW IMR. Efest IMR are also ok.
IMR are "safe chemistry" batteries. That is the type most of us use in mods.

few a few dollars more the give you a much better charger but it looks like they don't have the Panasonic batts anymore but Sony should be good

I would agree with the aw imr batterys always be safe than not later on. Just my opinion

 

[optsmk]

I'll change to an aw imr battery then.

But why is everyone saying that any battery with the word "fire" in it is bad? Is there something about those batteries I don't know about?

I have another charger so I'm not worried about that.
The only problem is that I dont see any name brand IMR batteries on the fastech site. Guess I'll have to get them somewhere else.

I'm thinking I might Palsti Dip the battery tubes though. The reviews I saw were all saying that it was a bit slippery because the suface is so shiny.

I like my VamoV3s get the Stainless Steel, it shows less scratches. Get the batteries and charger from RTD....

the V3 has the grooves, I don't find it slippery at all.

OK, so I chickened out on getting a mod from Fast Tech because I was reading some other posts on how long it has been taking to receive your order. I didn't want to spend 50-100 bucks and wait a month or two or three. So today I went to a smoke shop in Pleasanton called tobacco hut. It was a great place with a lot of kits, juice and a lot of supplies and accessories for many ecigs. For 70 bucks I got this KeCig K200 and it works great!!! It was a complete kit with two batteries, a nice case, charger, tank and two attys. He even threw in a 10ml bottle of juice. The only problem with this mod is that it is totally round at both ends, so it might roll off the table. Other than that the quality seem nice and it's pretty solid. It's a nice matte finish that is flat on both sides so it's easy to grip and does not pick up a lot of finger prints and stuff like some of the shiny ones do. The buttons rattle a little bit if you shake it a lot, but I think I can deal with that. The batteries are ICR 18650 2000mah. They are no name batteries, so I hope they last a little while. At least until I can order some new ones.

All in all I'm pretty happy with it right now. I'll see how long it lasts. Hopefully a long time, but I tend to drop these things a lot.Lol

Oh snap! I don't live far from pleasanton. I've been itching to get my next mod, prolly a VV. It would be nice to see them in person. Do they have a decent variety?

Snap, Snap and double Snap!!

They really have a lot of stuff. Even replacement coils for several tanks. I don't remember all of them, but I know they have coils for a Pro Tank. They also sell both the Pro Tank and the Pro Tank 2. The Pro tank was under 20 bucks and I think the Pro Tank 2 was around 23 bucks. IMO, the mods are reasonably priced. The are only about 20 bucks more than what you would pay from Fast Tech, so considering that you get your device right away and don't have to wait or stress about your order being delivered, I think it's well worth it.

They are located at 1807 Santa Rita Rd. Ste E Pleasanton, CA.

The only juice I vape is the tobacco flavored ones, but they have just about every flavor under the sun.
