Im thinking about getting into variable voltage and getting away from ego would this be a good choice?

Pricing looks good.... batteries and charger look sketchy (this is where you don't skimp and buy from reputable people).
They have a version 3 out that has a few extra things (removable top, led screen, N02 only which is a good thing)
Order a Stainless Steel model from fasttech for 36 and change free shipping without batteries for faster delivery. Grab batteries stateside from a good site. You can buy the charger from fasttech with the vamo v3 a bit cheaper.
just juice and batteries are a problem from fasttech... might get returned to vendor.

You'll do fine with any Vamo from V2 to V5. Just get decent batteries and a decent charger. Panasonic, AW and Efest are all good batteries, but make sure you get them from a reputable source, too many "copy cats". For a charger, the Xtar VP1, while on the more expensive side, is very hard to beat. It has an excellent charge algorithm for lithium batteries and the built-in voltmeter lets you know exactly where your battery is at.
cool man thanks! I have jotted that down. I will hit up radio shack (if radio shack even sells any actual electronic stuff any more) or the equivalent in the next week or so. I have watched some video reviews on the vamo v2 and the stainless model looks solid. I hear i need to order one with the extra long spring though.
99.9% chance RS wont have what you need or will recommend something inappropriate.
Best bet is to grab AW IMRs from RTDvapor etc, or buy E-fests IMRs either directly from E-fest or another reputable online retailer.
The V2 comes with the improved spring. I bought my V2 back in March and have had no problems and the V1 I bought in January also had the improved spring, so no problem there.
Radio Shack will not have anything you need. The type of battery needed by a mod like the Vamo is called "unprotected", which is actually not accurate. It is protected from thermal runaway, a problem with early lithium batteries, but has no electronic circuit, internal to the battery, to prevent over current or overheating. The Vamo does that with its own circuitry. The exact battery chemistry to look for is "IMR". That particular type of lithium battery gives enough current output to operate a Vamo. You can use either an 18350 or 18650 in a Vamo, but make sure they're IMR.
Radio Shack, if they have chargers for lithium batteries, won't have anything even close to what an Xtar, Nitecore or Pila is in terms of quality, and you don't want a battery getting overcharged, they can get VERY hot VERY fast.
Just Google the names I've mentions and you'll find tons of them on the web.

Glad I could help.
That looks fine. Like I said, any Vamo from V2 through V5 is a pretty good APV or "mod". The V1 would not fit a T3 style tank without an adapter, but that was fixed from the V2 on. From the V3 on they have an OLED display. The V3 and V5 also have a removable top ring for easy cleaning. The V4 is basically a V3 without the removable top ring or swirls in the tube. Personally, I'd stick with a stainless finish, the chrome is also good, the black chrome has a tendency to wear off.

Yeah i was reading about the finish coming off so i went with stainless. How long does fastech usually take to get to the east coast?
Once again thanks everyone for helping me out with this so i spent my money wisely and not risk burning my house down with a cheap charger and batteries!
Cant wait to try this beast out...

It took about ten days from order to vaping when I ordered from Fastech in March, east coast here as well. Lately, because of the bottleneck about batteries, it seems to be taking three weeks to a month. Hate to give you that little tidbit.
Oh well...at least i know one i heading my way now. I just gotta excessive wallet control between then and now
Swampman, Awsum140 did give you excellent advice. I have known him on this forum for over a year. You should be very happy with the Vamo V2 in Stainless, I have had one for almost a year and it still works great. Be sure to download the manual from here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/359600-vamo-vv-vw-v2-user-manual-download.html
It is not complicated at all, but you really do need to understand all of the various functions and buttons in order to adjust the flavor and vape to your particular tastes.
Feel free to PM me or Awsum if you need any info.
Best Wishes

Does anyone know the typical complete life span of a good 18650 and 18630 battery? like how many recharges i can expect from them before they go kaput.
