Did I miss something?

[_Lee]

In developing a check list for a VW device, I think it comes down to a VAMO V5. Please let me know if I left one out. Below is the list:

• VW
• rechargeable and replaceable batteries
• no telescoping
• 18350 and 18650 capability (sleeves)
• under $100
• ego and 510 connections

So far that leaves me with the VAMO, that I know of.

Did I miss anything else that meets the criteria?
Can you get extensions/sleeves for the Sigieli ZMAX mini or SID to use 18650 batteries?

thanks for your help.

I believe you can use the Evic body tube on the SID (with a little tweaking), and there are some all sorts of evic tubes out there.

And apparently there are SID tubes readily available as well:
Smoktech SID 18500 / 18350 Battery Tubes $11.39-11.64 | gotsmok.com

As for the Vamo, I love my V2, but the Ego threads are nigh unusable due to the top cap's proximity to the connector. The V5 has the removable top cap so you should be good with that one. I just stick to the 510 attys.

FWIW, I love my Vamos. With all the other mods I have, I keep going back to them.

Thank you, boathook.

does anyone have a pic of a VAMO in 18350 mode next to an Ego or VV V3? Those are the only devices I am familiar with.

I wish there was a VV V3 size equivalent that had replaceable batteries. That would be awesome.

I found this, if it helps:

You missed the mechanicals with a kick (which opens up HUNDREDS of options!!!!)

I just picked up a bolt and kick from FT for $21.42 (just need a few 18500 batts and I am all set)

But that's for a different thread and don't want to highjack this thread

Looking for 18350 and 18650 mode though. I didn't see any shorter sleeves (or whatever they are called) for 18350.

Yup

I have not ruled them out, but i don't know if i trust a kick. I would love a VW Smok e-pipe for a mech though.

I have the Vamo V5 and it is working great in both the full size and the smaller, one 18350 mode. Mine was $32 in SS:

I replaced my vamo v2 with a segeli zmax when my 510 threads striped out and I'm glad I did. The zmax is shorter in both 650 and 350 modes and is telescoping. Also the threads are better and the whole thing is of higher quality.
The vamo is a good starter mod if you can get it cheap from fast tech but I wouldn't pay continental prices for one again.
My 2c.

OK, so riddle me this...

Other than being able to replace the batteries, what is the difference in power delivery between a non-kicked mod running an 18350 and an ego running 3.7v?

Without a kick, it seems the only difference is rechargeable, removable, replaceable batteries. Do I understand correctly?

Refer to my signature. (Granted, it's about an 18650, so set the data to a 0.8Ω rig)

LOL, great sig Scarey!

I assume you're referring to a mechanical mod because you said un-kicked?

The eGo is regulated and protected with an amp limit of either 2.5 or 3A. Put a coil on it which draws more than that and it will just give you its max power level.

The mechanical has no regulation or protections. The right 18350 will safely put out about 6 amps, so you have more power. The voltage will drop as the battery charge is used up because there is no regulation so your vape will change. The thing is it's all up to you to make sure you don't do anything unsafe with it or use the battery too long. Draw more than what your battery can safely produce and you heat it up. Get it hot enough and it will vent which is nasty and dangerous. Hard short it and this can happen quite quickly.

Clearly I am not ready for unregulated.

the thing that worries me the most about the VAMO is the past issues with the threading on the head for 510.

I think the SID/ZMAX Mini in 18350 mode may have just pulled ahead. I'm sure I can learn a one button menu vs three.

Seems like either are going to be about the same...
