Still awaiting my Ocean Vapor Vamo. I've heard that the charger and batteries are not very good. Was wondering if anyone has experience with the batteries that come with it? I do enjoy the black chrome one I have from Exhalevapors and have other batteries and charger.

I would like to use batteries as backup, if possible.
 
Ordered on 2/13. Received notice of shipment today. Good thing I bought another one from Exhalevapors.

you waited a good while for it to be shipped, expect at least another 35 days for it to arrive to you(35 days from shipment)
the batteries are not the best but they are not garbage either, i use them.
i get about a days use out of them on a full charge, they say 8.4 fully charged and stacked. i use them till they get around 6.6 then i charge them.
they take about 80 minutes to charge.
the charger is flimsy but you can use it, just take your batteries out when the light turns green as i dont think it will stop charging them and you will overcharge the batteries.
wait till the light stops blinking red, they are still charging, the light will turn green.
hope this helps.

Finally received today. Everything is ok and the Vivi tanks are labeled. I don't know if the charger is safe to use - overcharge protection? I'm going to use the 18350's as spares.

Ordered mine on 2/25, shipped on 3/7, tracking said it left on 3/15, just showed up on the usps site as out for delivery, finally. Can't wait I'll let you know about the batteries and charger. Have 4 18650 batteries charged and ready, got them from amazon, panasonic CGR18650CH 2250mah, $6.50 ea, and a Nitecore I4 charger.

Got my Vamo from Ocean yesterday... Took a while to get here, but that's because I placed my order right smack in the middle of Chinese new year and they were out for about three weeks after that.
The only 'knock' I have is with the two clearomizers they sent with the kit... they work ok, but the resistance on both of them is a bit too high (3.5 and 3.6 ohms)... I guess I could take a loop or two off the coil to lower the resistance, but that will have to wait until I empty the tanks... Other than that; the thing vapes like a boss. I did notice that I go through lots more juice with the clearos than I did with cartos. Might have to start buying juice in 30ml bottles instead of the 10ml bottles I was getting.

Checked my Vivi's. 3.1 and 3.7. May recoil the 3.7. Haven't used them yet. I think I'd like about 2.5 better. Maybe 6 loops?

I have a smaller vivi on now at 2.6 and like it.
