how low can I go and are they tuff.

[Equality 7-2521]

Hey all,
I'm really interested in getting a vamo. I usually don't low ohm vape, but I think the lambo you can vape 1ohm coils, does anybody know how low a ohm coil I can put on a Vamo. how many watts can I vape?

Lastly how tough are they, do they last. The price is fairly low so I was wondering if they are cheaply made or well made.

I've vaped a 1.1 ohm coil on it, and it's pretty durable.. dropped mine a couple times, no major damage, just little concrete dents on the bottom cap, but I have the stainless steel version, I've heard the aluminum (chrome and gunmetal) are pretty prone to visual booboos

I got mine yesterday, totally in love with it. It's pretty hefty and mine seems to be built very well. I got the SS version and would recommend it to anyone.

Isn't te lowest it allows something at 1.2?

The chrome and black chrome are brass body, not aluminum. The finish may be prone to boo-boos, but the bodies should hold up just about as good as the SS.

Mine won't let me vape below 1.2. I usually stick to 1.7-2.0. I don't think it matters how low you can go when you can just crank it up for high watt vape.

Yeah I don't know if it matters either, although some people say that vaping with heavier gauge wire like 28 allow you to crank watts without getting a burnt flavour , that you might get vaping 32 gauge.

When I ask if the vamo is tuff, what I want to know is do the electronics and mod stand up to alot of use. I really could care less about how the thing looks.

From what I've seen, "yes" but with a couple of caveats:

- The board is prone to rotating, which will push one button out (usually +) and may either damage the button or cause the other (recessed) button to lose contact. It is easily fixed.
- Similarly, the first (non-removable) section below the buttons tends to.. well.. remove itself. It is simply press-fit in place, so roughing it up and pressing it back solves that. (Alternately, wrap it. The adhesive and vinyl adds a lot of strength to that joint. That is what I did, with cheap shelf-paper from Lowes and a template from this forum.)
- Center pin can be crushed if you overtighten a head. That is also (fairly) easy to fix, and gives you the opportunity to put a better gasket in place.

I've seen a couple of reports of shorts ("02" error) that may be related to a wire rubbing between the board and the case. That was reportedly easy to fix, if you have a soldering iron. Just disassemble, shorten or replace the super-long wire and resolder it. There are also replacement boards available, although I don't know if anyone has them retail yet.
