I would go with the VAMO. It has way more features if you ever wanted to tinker around with volt or watts
Get the vamo... Great choice

It really just comes down to what you really want and will use. I like mechanicals like the telescope and LavaFire. I really don't have that much interest in VV because of the type juice, ohm resistance and voltage I use and prefer. I have a VV Gripper that I love...but not really for the VV feature. I like the stealth (and comfort) design, and the ohm checker and battery level checker. The PVM makes it so even when I set it at 3volts...it hits like it's 4 volts: like a freight train (to me). That works for me. But otherwise, my other VV devices like the LT, Twist, kGo VV, etc. lay in storage pretty much ignored.
It all depends on what and how you vape.

Some on here like a rebuild-able atty on a mechanical. They can get the resistance real low, and have a powerful vape. I prefer the buttons, and electronics, and cool displays...
I really like the simplicity of mechanical mods... so much less to go wrong, and when it does, its easy to fix...
Also, you can simulate the effect of VV by using various resistances (easiest with rebuildable atomizers).
I personally like to have both... I have an iHybrid enroute, and will be picking up a provari shortly as well.
I really want to get a mech mod with a 510 connection... hmm I think I will post a thread about this...
Cheers!

Thank you all for your help,looks like ill be getting both then even tho i dont really need them as my egoc stock setup is a rocking and i also use the mini and large nova tanks too with my egos,its just when i tried out the SCOPE mod,i was hooked .

get verified there is usually 3 to5 pages of top notch mechs for sale in the classifieds.
Thrasher I think the verification process is down as the mod that was handling it had family matters to attend to. I cant wait to get my verified status for that very reason and the co-ops as well 
Yeah, the classies are awesome! I bought a Zenesis standard and 130ml of full strength pluid from there... I didnt wait one post over 20 (or is it 25? I dont remember, either way I didnt wait at all... lol)
If you have paypal it takes no time at all... there are other ways but i dont remember what they are...
Is there only one mod that handles verification? (the person , not the PV, )
Cheers!

I remember reading it somewhere on here yesterday. I'm going the ebay verification route so that may be why it is taking longer too. I'm curious to see what is for sale. I have a couple of older mods i'd like to sell to make way for more as well. It's kinda like waiting for vape mail
Both are god for their own reason, the mechanical will be always there for u but the electronic will give u more power when battery is low... All depends in a way u set up ur attys!!!
I prefer the electronic voltage regulated mods simply due to the fact that they put out a consistent amount of current throughout the charge cycle of the battery.
So even at 3.3V remaining on the battery, the booster circuit in a voltage regulated VV device set to 5V will give you 5V...
On a mechanical mod, the voltage will drop as the battery drops... So you will see pretty hot vaping initially, and it will get cooler and cooler as the battery discharges.
You also don't get the safety features that an electronic mod offers, like reverse battery detection, low resistance / short detection, low voltage detection, etc.
And lastly, there is a potential to deep cycle your batteries on a mechanical mod, that a well programmed electronic mod can avoid... The electronic mods will usually cut themselves off at somewhere around 3.2V... So you don't fully deplete the cell.
All that said, with few exception the electronic mods out there all look pretty bland to me... All the artistry and craftsmanship goes into nice mechanical mods.
So there is certainly a market for both.
I'm a tech geek though, so until I see a mechanical mod that I just can't live without, I'll always go for electronic over mechanical... Main reason being the safety features and consistent vape experience.

If you use a LR atty with at 3.7 thats all ya need,i just feel the Vamo is just too freaking big,even in 18500 mode and the firing button is in an awkward position to access,i want something powerful that fits in my pocket like the SCOPE,and it will fit in knife case perfect to stap on your belt even in 1865 mode,try that with the Vamo and looks like your carrying a billy club.

I am looking for a mechanical mod too (already got the electronic) I think get both too unless you cannot afford it. I started my verification process last week by pay pal and i am still waiting. Mod must be really busy as i am waiting almost 7 days now and with pay pal AFAIK all he has to do is verify i am verified and that my email matches (according to the thread) so if it only takes a couple min per verfication he must be very busy and backlogged so as soon as I get verified ill be checking out the classifieds ASAP. Its just too bad i did not get verified before the chinese holiday as i wont be able to get into a co-op until after march (that is if thier are any after april)
in all when i get verified ill be on thoes classifieds like a fly on .... Sorry more like a moth to a flame lol
