Do you think the VAMO V3 or a MVP 2 would be a viable upgrade from the iTaste VV 3.0? Having the Aspire nautilus Mini has lately been inciting me to constantly max out my VV 3.0 at 11w and as a result I'm having to charge it ALL the time. So the appeal of the MVP would be the 2600 mAh battery but I also would like to vape at a higher wattage seeing as the the BVC can handle up to 6.0v at 1.8 Ohms. And the third hidden appeal of both is of course the price tags. 60-70 dollar range looks a lot more glorious on my bank statement to me. :vapor:


Edit: I apologize in advance if this kind of question has already been asked. D:

    The Vamo is fine as long as you don't drop it and use an adapter to protect the threads on the 510 connection , the 510 connection is soft brass on the Vamo 3 and easily messed up , take precautions with it and you should be fine with it .

    The Nemesis clone looks sick! I may very well end up going with that one. Awesome suggestion.

    Now by 'adapter', am I to assume you mean something other than the beauty ring thingie-ma-jigger?

    If you're going to buy nemesis clone, you will probably want a kick to use with it aswell. Pair it up with a good pair of batteries. (Sony vtc4 or 5.)
    Since nautilus on a mechmod without a kick will not give you a satisfying vape. To get that on a mech you'll need to get into rebuildables and build lower ohms. Since a mechanical mod is limited to 4.2volt at full charge.

    So since you're still new i'd rather recommend vamo5 or mvp2. Or even a seven 22 if you can find it for a decent price.

    The good thing about the MVP and the VAMO is they are at my local B&M store ready to be purchased, and I am an impatient person (i.e. spending 20 bucks on shipping to get next day, etc.)

    And I'd like to eventually get into rebuildables, but you're right, I'm still pretty green to the game. I have no clue what a kicker is lmao

    Appreciate the quick responses guys! :)

    The MVP would be my opinion the better option of the two, but neither choice would be bad or a disappointment. The only reason I put the MVP higher is because like the VV it delivers much steadier power to your atty as opposed to the Vamos PWM (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...itaste-mvp-dont-vape-same-provari-dna20d.html)
    This. :thumb: The MVP has better pulse width modulation than the Vamo.

    Get the Vamo and then you can say this:

    Not !!

    I see, so adjusting wattage on a mechanical mod is more than just the push of a button then?

    I actually recall IndoorSmokers on youtube reviewing the VAMO v3 and v5 and he talked about rattlesnaking as well, are there any dangers to a mod that rattlesnakes as such?

    Edit: Apologies, I didn't know the red text was a link, reading now!

    There is no wattage on a mech mod - you build your coil to your choice resistance it will always put out the voltage of your battery charge. You can use a kick for some regulation and control - but at that point - why not just get the regulated device if thats your route :)

    No danger to the rattlesnake effect - some dont notice it, but it drove me absolutely bananas :lol:

    As an owner of the first 4 versions of Vamo, I thought the v3 was in fact the worst insomuch as they made it from a thinner metal. Considering your budget and your quest for higher wattage Mike I would suggest the Hana clone from FT is a worthwhile investment and one that will certainly enhance your quality of vape.

    I think at this point regulated is my preferred medium, though I'm sure with time and experience that will change. Reaaallly leaning towards that 40.00 deal on the MVP 2 at 101vape. But those 16w on the VAMO doe... unf

    The 15 volts seems necessary, but you will not likely be able to use it without building on your own. For your clearos 11-12 watts is really about the maximum you can do without getting burnt bleck. Honestly...with clearos I dont think I ever even used 11 without getting a foul taste for the most part. They are not designed with the airflow/coil to take high wattage.

    I <3 my Vamo V5 with the Aspire Nautilus tank. My vamo rattles a little, but not much that it bothers me at all. And it actually only rattles if I actively shake it (shaking it right now, lol)

    Wrong kind of rattle - its the pulsating sound it makes when you fire the vamo. Many devices use PWM (pulse width modulation) and it sends ....bursts of power instead of a flat stable power to heat the atomizer. There is nothing wrong per se with PWM - but the noise and bouncing voltage delivery are detectable to some and not to others. Going from a VV with a very flat steady power delivery to a Vamo generally makes the pulse much more noticeable.

    Oh interesting. :O I have not noticed that at all.
