Just picked this up yesterday. It is an EHPro clone of the Valkyrie, a hybrid rda/mechanical that takes an 18650 battery. The dripper top has the same room and build options as an IGO-W with nicer screws. Just put a single 28g micro/cotton in and it is very, very nice. SOOO small! The rda top adjusts for either a single or double coil.

Well I don't plan on getting crazy with the sub-ohm. I'd just like to have the power cushion. When I got the Vano I tried to stack 350s with an Evod on it. I thought the Evod was going to blow. Today I did it just for the heck of it with the KFL. I like it so well I went to the B/M and got 2 more 350s along with some 0.5mm x 0.1mm ribbon wire to play with. Serendipity in the KFL with a twisted wire 1.2 ohm coil on the vamo with stacked 350s at 13/15 watts takes on a more intense flavor.

Nice. The B/M I go to has a rewards program. Soon as I get to my 20 points so I can get 15% of anything I'm looking at the brass Magneto. Or I could take the 15% off a Provari they do have a few.

If they're like all the B&M's I've been in, they've marked up the Provari about 40% already.

I checked with my local B&M last time I was there and I think they were asking something like $225 for a satin version that's $160 at Provape. The B&M price may have included the extension cap for using 18650 batteries, but I'm not sure.

I think the current price for a Provari is $180.

Yup. My thumb and index finger are holding onto the cap of the RDA part. You can faintly see the air holes. The base of the EDA is the top of the mod part. Adjustment for battery length is done by threading in or out the bottom contact. The top contact is also slotted but I don't know if it moves.

I think it's $160 for the satin finish one with red LED, and $180 for the others. Then $20 for blue or green LED, and another $20 for the extension cap for the 18650 batteries. So $200 or $220 all in without batteries.

If you switch the VAMO over to variable voltage instead of wattage with that 1.2 ohm coil @ 6 volts running stacked 18350s you will be vaping at 30 watts...give it a go for a whole new world.

And do lung hits.. I can't, so I don't. :)

You can do mouth to lung, the big airhole just cools the coils down while inhaling.

I didn't mean keep it at 30 watts, I more meant that you're not limited to 15 watts on the VAMO with double stacked batteries and variable voltage mode. ;)
