Just ordered a SID

​Just ordered a SID! I was waiting on a Vamo from fasttech, but its been sitting in Hong Kong for over two weeks. Excited to try this out! Ordered from USA with express shipping this time. =)

Now that's scary in a deja vu sorta way.
I've been waiting on my replacement SS Vamo (junky 510 threads) for about three weeks now from FT, so last week I popped over to MVS and ordered a SID.
I wish now I had just bought the SID.
I was really surprised at how much more I like it over the Vamo.
Lighter by far, and yet very well built. And like all the reviewers have said, somewhat 'crunchy' threads, but a dab of Noalox smoothed those right up. The one button menu is really easy to work through -took about 2 minutes to get comfortable with it.
Oh well, the Vamo will be my emergency backup - if and when it shows up...

Anyway, good luck!
I think you're going to like it.

I just ordered my second sid. The first one works so flawlessly and my vamo acts funny sometimes so i needed another everyday mod to add to my collection. Its the first mod ive ever bought more than one of.

Well now I don't even want my Vamo that's in HK. lol. I like the three-button setup idea. No delays or loss of functionality using the SID one-button menu?

A. When you put a battery in the SID, it's on and ready to go. (Vamo needs 5 clicks to turn it on each time the battery is changed or removed)

B. SID remembers your power/voltage setting when changing batteries. It does however forget your display setting (I usually have mine set to show the atomizer resistance setting, so when I change the battery I do have to reset that.). If I remember right, the Vamo resets on each battery change.

C. I know you probably know this, but just in case, 3 fast clicks gets you into the SID menu, then clicking the button walks you through your seven different settings:
1. Power/Voltage Up
2. Power/Voltage Down
3. Power On/Off
4. Battery charge indicator
5. LCD Display (either Voltage, Battery charge or Resistance)
6. LCD Display On/Off
7. Choice of Voltage/Wattage

To me, that's even easier than the 3 button system because I don't have to worry about accidentally bumping the plus or minus buttons by mistake and changing the power settings, which I've done with the Vamo.

Did that help or did I muddy the waters?

Yes. Crystal clear! Thank you! I had to go add an AGA tank and some mesh wick to my order. Should be here in the next two days.

I really do enjoy these menus. The screen is huge and great resolution! The threads are gravelly but nowhere near as bad as I've seen others in videos. Going the start on my aga-t+ now. Wish me luck!

Believe me you'll like the vamo you ordered when you get it also if you got the version 3 or higher...I love mine and it performs as nicely as the SID.

I was waiting on an MVP 2 that has been in Hong Kong for the last month! So I got the sid 2 weeks ago and I love it! Simple to use, great look, and the battery last a good long time!

I think I got a faulty SID. I just received it on Monday evening. It shorts out with any clearomizer/tank I use, the performance is bad when the battery is at 3.7V, it doesn't keep the voltage when batteries are changed, and it doesn't tell me if the battery is low. Just sent a message to the vendor to see about a replacement. I really hope it's just a bad SID and not going to be all of them.
