Help me pick a Vamo? And a question about compatibility...

[chrisbru]

There are so many options on fasttech. Do I want the "Vamo 5-in-1" "Vamo 6-in-1" or Vamo V3 6-in-1"? I'd prefer the cheapest one if there isn't much difference. Color doesn't really matter to me.

Also, do I want 18350 or 18650 batteries? What are the main differences?

What are the threads like on a Vamo? Can I just use my EVODs with no problem? If I order a Protank, can I use that as well?

 

[chrisbru]

Oh and what is the Trustcore/Nitcore option about?

 

[Raynman]

The Vamo can use any 510 connection and most Ego threaded connections. An 18350 is a smaller battery whereas an 18650 is larger 18= diameter 35 or 65 is the length 0 is the shape. 18350 will not typically last as long as 18650 as far as vape time bigger battery longer life between recharges. Just as a side point I have both and prefer the SVD because once you set your voltage/wattage you can lock the settings so it will not change in your pocket. SVD and VamoV3 are two of my several devices. Any option you choose will be a good one as long as it keeps you off analogs.
edit Also the trustcore/nitecore option is for your battery charger I would recommend the nitecore.

 

[chrisbru]

Not really worried about the analogs... I'm just on a quest for perfection and want to upgrade from my Winder The reason I was looking at Vamo over SVD is because it comes in a pack with batteries and a charger.

 

[Raynman]

Understood Vamo is a good device but because of the way I carry I prefer the SVD. If you want perfection. Go for a ProVari. If it's out of your reach at this time save for it and you will not be sorry. Good deals in the clearance section at ProVape I have yet to find the blemish on my V2. Good luck and your choice will be a good one whatever it might be.

You can't beat a Vamo for bang per buck. I prefer the V2 over the V3 but that's personal preference as both are good devices.
18350 bats are about 700mah average and 18650's vary from 1500mah to over 3000mah. I figure about 1 hr. use for every 100mah.
I prefer using the 18350 because it makes the device smaller. If they made a 18500 tube for the Vamo, I'd be ecstatic.

I do believe the Nitecore is a safer charger, not sure if the other has as much protection built in it, id do a search on those models. and the 18650 Panasonic batteries that come with some options of the fasttech vamo are getting good reviews on here. The threads on my v2 are not bad. little squeaky but they do there job. 18350 and 18650 is all preference. i like the long battery life of the 18650s and i carry it with a mod clip so the length doesn't bother me.

Vamo's are great. I say get a Nitecore i4 charger a couple panny cgr18650ch batts and a couple efest or aw 18350's I've had great results stacking 18350's and I have read it's easier on the batteries given the voltage/wattage being pushed out to let the device step down from 8.4 volts than step up from 4.2

If you decide to get the Vamo, I suggest that you get it in stainless steel as the chrome/black chrome models wear quickly.

Just pick a V3 with the Panasonic battery and nitecore charger...If color doesn't matter then pick the one that shows it as being in stock. You will get it faster that way,,,I did just that and then bought a 18350 smaller battery somewhere else...Great package and really like it..I got the black and it looks better in person than the pictures..Good luck

 

[Train2]

a LOT of people complain of the finish wearing off and highly recommend you pay the extra few bucks for Stainless Steel.
I'm leaning towards the SVD myself, even though I'll have to buy my batteries and charger separately...
Anyone wants to post a link to the BESTEST BATTERIES for an SVD, of each size, from any vendor, it'd be greatly appreciated!

 

[chrisbru]

Thanks everyone. Ended up snagging a stainless V3 with nitecore charger and two Panasonic 18650s

The Vamo is srsly a large PV when in 18650 mode. You may way to pick up some 18350 batteries to have when you don't want to be puffing on a light saber in public.
