Got my second Vamo today. This one from fast tech
1. Beautiful, flawless, satin Stainless Steel finish - 1st one I got from a US dealer has a high shine (but was not the Chrome version as it still does not show finger prints) and some small spots that look like they got missed by the buffer and a few small annoying scratches (possibly the reason it was buffed to a shine was to eliminate scratches and these were just too deep to buff out).
2. No loose, clicky/rattling fire button when you move your fingers across it or shake it (like the 1st one does).
3. Smoke black lcd screen - very sharp looking and not as bright in a dark room but still easy to read in bright sunlight.

All joints, buttons, and the screen were perfectly aligned.

Overall I am very impressed with this one when I compare it to my first one and give it the 5 smiley faces of approval.

:):):):):)

edit - added photos - new one is on right

How's the connection well? Wider inside now?

Why yes, yes it is. looks to be about 1mm wider from outside edge of 510 connector to inside edge of rim

much easier to get my shorty ego thread cover on it to prevent over tightening (being careful not to tighten that all the way down)

Not a different version. Just from a different manufacturer. Do t forget, there are at least 5 or 6 different factories in China making the VAMO.

I've got 4 SS VAMOs. All purchased from a US vendor, and all purchased about 4 months or so ago. 2 look like the one on the left, and 2 look like the one on the right...with a much nicer fit and finish and the tinted screen walls.

A friend of mine recived today a SS vamo with the tinted window,, the finish looks the same as mine nice polished SS, the buttons feels with less rattle than mine also, but the well is the same as mine, not the big hole like the one you post.. As far i know there are 4 diferent manufacturer, so not all vamos will be the same,
