Considering getting something like this done for my SS Vamo.

I'll get it with the clip holster so I can slip it in a inside pocket for when I don't want it to look like I have a police baton at my side.

OK, the title of this post is a bit deceptive. This is a great mod, packed full of features. For a low price VV/VW unit, this thing is fantastic! Good build quality, ease of use, full of features, and it is a vaping machine! Forty one or two bucks delivered to my door. What a deal.

So what's the problem? I HATE THE FINISH!!! I got the black chrome, and it is beautiful. But I hate holding it. Too shiny and smooth. With the weight of an 18650 battery, it constantly slips down in my hand.

For six dollars and sixty cents more, I could, and should, have bought the stainless version. In 4 short weeks, I've spent many, many hundreds of dollars, and I'm having a blast! In spite of that, I skimped out on $6.60 when I KNEW I really wanted the stainless. If I understand correctly, it is not just a stainless finish, but an actual stainless tube with some grip to it. I hope so, because I ordered a stainless version last night.

If my plan to get my sister off cigs and onto vaping works, this black chrome Vamo will be a great birthday present!

And it's not just the Vamo finish I don't like. Package arrived with my two Bolt battery mods, $19.95 each. (Of course, I don't need two Bolts, but 20 bucks each? I'll take two, please!). These have more of a grainy painted finish, but are still very slick. With these, I plan on using some of the spray on rubberized tool handle stuff. Should be fun!

So, if you suspect you are like me, spend the few extra bucks for the stainless!

Get a black carbon fiber wrap from J-Wraps. You will love it.

Do the skins come off without marring the finish on the SS version!
I've watched a couple of vid reviews of them on youtube, and all of them say they come off with no residue at all. They are reviews, so who knows if they are talking them up because of receiving a free product or not. But Basilray takes one off of a ProVari and there is no visible damage to the finish (at least none tht shows on the vid).

I got one of the big batteries and one of the small ones the big one is for the full tube and small one is for the half stack. now I am learning the no2 and avg and watts and volts. This helped alot:

Press the large Power button 5 times in quick succession to turn the Vamo ON, which is confirmed by the message on the LCDisplay. The default on condition is VV (Variable Voltage). To switch to VW (Variable Power) simultaneously press and hold the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ for 3 sec., when 3.0 W will be displayed on the LCDisplay. The Power Button has 3 functions; to turn the device on, to power the AD’s and to turn the device off.

The procedure for increasing or decreasing EMF (Volts) and Power (Watts), is similar. When in VV mode pressing the + or - button will increase or decrease the output in steps of 0.1V. When in VW mode pressing the + or - button will increase or decrease the output in steps of 0.5W. Whilst in either mode, once the maximum or minimum have been selected, the next selection, in either mode, will take you back to the minimum or maximum.

The + and - have 3 individual functions each, and 1 combined function.

Pressing the + or - buttons will increase or decrease the EMF (Volts) or Power (Watts)

Pressing and holding the + button for 3 sec. will display the battery voltage

Pressing and holding the - button for 3 sec. will display the AD resistance in Ω (ohms)

Pressing and holding the + and - buttons simultaneously for 3 sec. will switch from VV to VW or vice versa.

Pressing and holding either the + or - button for 10s will toggle between Average/Mean (Avg) and RMS, the Default Factory Setting is ‘NO 1’ which is AVG Mode, ‘NO 2’ designates RMS Mode (recommended).

Where did you order you vamo from?! I've been looking into getting one, just currently comparing prices and such.

I got mine from vaporbreak.com $33.49 + shipping($8. 62). I'm in Hawaii so don't know if shipping is cheaper to elsewhere. also, I don't know if it's a fake or not, but so far(2 weeks) it works great. comes with 2 18350 batteries and a charger. I should also mention, from China it took a couple of weeks to arrive, but still a lot faster than Healthcabin.
