So my VAMO just suffered a fatal random problem. The threading got crossthreaded to my Kanger Pro Tank2. So now only it fits. Bogue 510 Cartos, My Phoenix, Iclear30, and Vivi Nova don't catch the threads anymore, and even my protank has a very small amount of play in it sometimes unless I tighten it down waay too much which is only gonna make the problem worse I'm sure. So I need a new APV.
Now for a while I was looking into a new VAMO maybe a V3 or V5 but I've heard from a lot of people on http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette they suffer weak threads and are easily stripped/crossthreaded. So I guess maybe I won't get a new VAMO cause I had mine for 8 months but I saw users there reporting the issue as soon as 6 months or less.
Then I looked at the Innokin SVD, but everyone started telling me DON'T THE BUTTON BREAKS. Yep they all told me these horror stories of how their SVD's button just quit working one day sometimes as little as 2 months into ownership. So I guess that mod is out.
It really seems like the only thing I've not heard a bad thing about is the TESLA and the Sigelei ZMax but the TESLA's design makes me worry about what would become of my hand in the rare even of a battery venting situation. And the ZMax only has one button and that just really puts me off cause I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to adjust voltage/wattage up and down with just one button.
My price range is around $70 or less right now. Though I might be able to manage $100 if I save up my money all month and stick with my back up Ego for a little while longer. (Though I'd only want to wait if online vendors do black friday stuff and I could save a good chunk of money by holding off, dunno if they do or not)
So I'm looking for a good solid device with good threading, solid buttons, that does Vari Voltage & Vari Wattage (will accept one or other but would prefer both). And of course the standard features like the ability to check ohms on my atty and short circuit/low ohm's protection for when I'm doing RBA's
If any of you can sell me on a device please let me know what you suggest. I have the money to buy one now and its kinda burning a hole in my pocket since my vamo got messed up but I'm not wanting to rush it too fast and end up buying something that breaks easily or something I won't be happy with.
