Just got my VAMO from Vaporbreak

[geofxc]

I ordered the VAMO kit form Vaporbreak on the 2/2 and just got it today. Shipping was China Post. I got the black Chrome and boy does it look great In all the pictures I've seen online you can't make out the writing on the batteries that come in the kit. The batteries say "RECHARGABLE ICR18350/SPECIAL LITHIUM BATTERY" 3.7v 900 mAh. On the other side it says "Made by D.K.L. 'Battrey' (yes spelled like that) Company Shenzhen China" So far the batteries have worked out just fine.

The charger feels cheap. Very light weight plastic, and when the battery is charging it is extremely loose. I will probably buy a different charger in the future.

The mod works quite well in both NO1 and NO2 modes. I'm not sure I can tell a difference between the two modes. No performance differences with one or two 18350s.

I will say the the tube warms up quite a bit after chain vaping for a minute or two. Not sure if thats a normal VAMO thing or the sub-par(??) batteries that came with the kit.

Anyway, just thought I'd ... that along for anyone who had reservations about ordering from Vaporbreak. I did not have any problems with them.

My tube warms up a little and I use the Efest batteries (chain vaping).People are probably going to tell you to get different batteries,I got the Icr type batteries as well with the vamo and immediately ordered the Efest Imr high drain batteries,I didn't want to take any chances.Read my Link if you don't already know this.

congrats on getting your VAMO...mine is somewhere, shipped 1/30, not here yet. I got my nitecore charger and extra batteries today and they are charging, getting ready at least.

Still waiting on mine. Hasn't shipped yet.

Glad to hear you got yours!

I think it heats up due to the spring and not the batteries. I remember reading about people buying the gold spring replacement to fix this issue.

Wow, that was fast shipping, mine took 20 days china post.

Yeah I was blown away when the mail lady knocked at the door. I expected at least another couple of weeks. Of course I had no luck tracking the package online, but what else was I to expect?

So far those batteries have worked well. At 900mAh they have a pretty short life. So far I've recharged each battery once. I'm running 8.5 watts and its been a really good vape.

the two modes make a difference. no1 will output higher than what you set it at. i forgot the difference, but it wont be exactly where you set it (ie. you set it at 4v and itll output 4.5v or something). no2 will output at what you set it at (4v will output 4v).
i use panasonic 18650s with my vamo, i never notice it getting hot

So excited, my tracking finally changed, it arrived in NY today...now to make it over to me, hope it won't take as long as overseas did.

I'd get better batteries and a charger asap for it. The only time mine gets warm like that is if I'm dry burning clearo's if I'm cleaning a few of them. It doesn't get any more than just SLIGHTLY warmer at the head if I'm chain vaping. I personally would go with 18650's or a single. Too many horror storied and things that can go wrong stacking 18350's.

AW's are the way to go if possible, but Panasonic, Samsung, or Joyetech (I've been using a few and so far they've been great), with a quality charger....Pila or the Nitecore Intelli Charger are what I use.

If you're going to have a catastrophic failure, it's going to, in all likelihood, come from your batteries. Get good ones.
