I've Dropped My Vamo

[SASmith]

Hi, I have the Vamo V3 from fasttech and I have been very happy with it. Twice now it has taken a hard knock,
once it got knocked off the counter onto a tile floor and today it got knocked out of my hand by my niece's crazy Great Dane and landed on the driveway.

I am happy to report that my V3 still lives, each time this has happened I've thought " oh no that's it.... my Vamo is dead", each time when I have tried to vape........nothing. What I have discovered is .... each time I have needed to restart it and it's fine. My Kanger T2's have also survived each incident.

I purchased the Vamo out of curiosity, I had only used ego twists and wanted to see if a larger battery vaped better and I liked the price. I really didn't expect much and have read plenty of comments on how cheaply it is made and while I would not recommend throwing it around, I just wanted to mention that it's tougher than a lot of people think......just saying

I've dropped my v2 a number of times. It's pretty beaten up at this point but still functioning. I've ordered an svd just in case but I suspect I'll be enjoying my vamo for a long time to come.

Mine has survived numerous drops. What it hasn't survived is being in my pocket, sitting down and forcing my tank off. The connector threads are shot.

Mine's taken a few hard knocks as well. Just wish the Protanks were just as durable as that Vamo has been. **sigh**

My vamo has survived numerous drops. the latest was 8' onto my paved driveway. It keeps on ticking tho! My aga t2 on the other hand did not survive the last drop. Thhe glass is still fine, but the center post that holds the top & bottom together stripped out.

Had my vamo v2 for about 6 months now, and it looks like its been run over by a train, the buttons lost their "clicky" some time ago, and the finish is pretty much gone. Still perfectly functional tho. I will be ordering a v3 in the next few days to be prepared for the inevitable fail.

The only thing that's really happened in these drops is that the extension tube is now cross threaded onto the body of the vamo and will not thread out. No biggie, it still works and I only use 18650 batteries anyway. One mini protank (my favorite!) died in the last fall however.

Btw, my new SVD pretty much rocks.
