Ordered my Vamo v2!

[SinX7]

Hey guys! I just ordered my Vamo v2 for $27 w/Free shipping! I wanted to ask, what battery brand would be best? I prefer a high mAh so it will last longer, and what is the highest mAh battery I can use on it safely? And do I need a 2cent fuse? Upgrading from the eGO-C Twist.

Also, is there anything else I should get for it? Will be using the Vivi Nova with it.

Thanks!

Edit: It was from fasttech.

I'm in the same boat, paddling with an ego-c until I figure out the best setup, electronic wise, to get the best/safest vape with the Vamo. Did you order it from fasttech? I also heard that there are some threading issues, make sure you don't cross thread it.

Congrats on your Vamo!

These were recommended to me $10.03 Panasonic CGR18650CH Rechargeable 2250mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The vivi nova will be fine, but some people have recommended getting adaptors to protect the threading. Not sure what you mean about a fuse. The Vamo has built in protection for your battery.

IMOH - you should have ordered the panasonic batts (sets of 2 at this price) and the nitecore charger with it

I am using the vision brand vivi nova's at 7.5 watts and am really going through the juice fast - have a protank coming on Monday to see how I like it and if juice consumption goes down

05/20 edit - You made me think about it and now I ordered another Vamo, batts and charger - plus I had to add the Itaste MVP kit, and more ego batts - backups for my backup's backups

Yah the vamo has circuit protection already but if your charger doesnt than you should get protected batteries..easy to find....i got a couple ultra fire icr 18650 2500 mah from radio shack.$10 bucks each....last 2 full days vaping moderatly at 5 watts.(protected batteries have built in pc chips that cut out when fully charged and when almost dead).

My vamo kit should be delivered tomorrow I'm super stoked. I'm upgrading from a twist as well! I've seen those pan sonics linked to quite a bit lately

A Vamo is not designed to take protected batteries.

(Borrowed post from another member)

This is straight out of the user manual:

Protected type Li-Ion batteries will not work in this device – the over current protection renders them unusable as they usually have a current limit of 2.5 Amperes and this device uses current higher than that figure.. Please use High drain Safe rated batteries with no on-board protection for optimum use of this device.
Recommended batteries are IMR / AW type cells.

That's an excellent price, man I wish I had the $ to order one myself, anyone know how long this deal will be going for? Not long I'm sure.

 

[SinX7]

Will go and grab the Panasonic battery then! Can I get the 2600 mAh or is it too high for the Vamo?

Can I Use a unprotected battery with the Nitecore I2 charger?

Also anyone got a link for the adapter for my Vivi? I'm not really sure what you guys are talking about.

Thanks!

It depends on the size of the battery if you can use it, not the mAh.

The Nitecore I2 is fine.

You can NOT use protected batteries in the Vamo.

Here is a link for a mini vivi nova adapter, http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...ry-adapterconvertor-for-mini-vivi-novadct-ato works for the dct as well per one of the reviews. Not sure if you need it or not but for $1.49, why not.

Sounds good! Going to order the Panasonic battery, Nitecore I2, and the adapter for my Vivi Nova.

Anything else I need to get this bad boy going when it comes in?

 

[TheElectrician]

Not to thred jack, but how is stuff on fast tech so cheap?

Got juice?

Make sure when you get it, that the mode is set to RMS (NO2). Press and hold the +/- button for 10 seconds and you should see the screen change. Also here's the link for a user's guide:

My guess is no middleman or retail point mark up maybe?

Woohoo! Good for you! Hope you find it as great a device as so many others have!

You don't need an adapter for the Vivi. An eGo like the T3, MT3 you do need an adapter. The EVOD's fit just fine. Funny thing is, it has eGo threading, but only the small tanks will fit in the drip well. LOL!
The Panasonic 2600 mAh & Efest 2250 mAh work great. Haven't noticed any difference between the two.

The adapter linked above is not really an adapter, but a protection from overtightning on the center connector.
