Just got a Vamo v5. I have a vision spinner that I have been using, that will now be my back up. So far I love the vamo, is there any advice on dos and don'ts with the Vamo.

I had to install an o-ring below the center pin to keep it pushed up far enough to connect with my atty's. Here's a link to a video if your center pin gets swallowed into your mod: Vamo Centerpin O-ring Fix
Other than that, it occassionally powers off on its own. I recommend using buttontop batteries, or getting some small rare earth magnets to put on top of flat tops. (Radio Shack has them) Sometimes flat tops don't get a solid connection (may be why it powers down?).
It produces less vapor power when it gets to about 3.6v left on the battery charge.
That is it for negatives.
Pros: Dedicated buttons for +/- voltage/wattage, sturdy construction, nice OLED screen (sometimes hard to see in daylight), you can check your ohms when you build coils, EGO and 510 threading, 18650 or 18350 modes
I love my vamo. Any frustrations I have had, have disappeared quickly or were an easy fix. It was my first mod after my Ego Twist, as well. Have fun with your new toy!
Make sure you keep the battery connection area clean. Whenever I refilled a clearo or took my topper off for any reason I would wipe out the battery connection with a paper towel. Give the threads a clean while you are at it.
Squeaky threads can be fixed with a little noalox thread lubricant (you can get it at lowes)
Be careful with the battery connector threads - they can be weak and you can easily cross-thread toppers when screwing them in. Some people buy a 510 to 510 connector and leave that screwed into the vamo and screw the topper in to it. It does change the look of the vamo but it might be something to consider.
If you unscrew a bottom coil clearo (like an EVOD) or something, be extra careful you are actually unscrewing the clearo from the vamo and not unscrewing the base coil of the clearo itself. I (and many hundreds of people) have done this and ended with juice dripping all over the vamo. It's better now they made a removable top cap, so you might want to unscrew that before removing the clearo.
That's all I can think of - have a read of the APV section of the forum, and the VAMO section in particular. Loads more information in there.
Finally, welcome, enjoy and may all your vapes be flavorful.
