Maybe it is .... Not according to the vendor however. The website indicates it is V2 and addresses the issue in V1 (something to do with a short circuit problem ???)

I could be wrong, but I believe the short was that certain batteries, mainly flat tops were making contact with the top of the battery tube and in version 2, a rubber ring was added to the top of the tube to prevent that contact. Version 2 is supposed to also have a larger hot spring to fix connection and/or rattling problems with some batteries.
I'm not sure about the chip, I haven't heard as much detail about what is and isn't saved before this thread.
Is it possible that rms mode is not working as it should be ???
A warning is posted on Health Cabin web site ...
"Warning:
When the eGo Bamboo works at AVG status, the product may produce much stronger power on the same atomizer than working at RMS status. It will likely damage your atomizers greatly.
So we strongly do suggest you to use only RMS status, because RMS status can perform very well.
Please do NOT try AVG status if you are not a veteran."
Maybe what we think is rms mode is actually avg mode.

I use 18350's stacked and No2 and swap coils all the time..some are higher resistance and some are lower..I've never had a popped coil or anything I thought was out of order..so are far as i'm concerned there is no issue with mine lol..
mine resets the wattage when I change batteries..

Indeed, though at that point your batteries are each sitting around 3.3V or so, which is far from crtiical, but for me that's right about when I feel like it's time to swap 'em out for a fresh pair. Same with singles; when they drop that low I'll swap and charge.
Which should be the case as I am sure we got our Vamo from the same vendor ...
Got mine at canvape..it's the recent one with metal buttons and has the red battery pos isolation disk
Well mine is different: black plastic buttons and I don't see a red battery pos isolation disk.
Plastic button Vamos are not the revised version. The new Vamos have matching metal buttons, an insulator around the pos connection, and they will hold the wattage setting when changing out batteries. I am not sure but there have been an "intermittent" version which addressed a couple of the physical issues (buttons and insulator) but did not have the upgraded chip which fixed the 6w bug and holding wattage settings after battery removal. Reading this thread is leading me to believe that there are some Frankenstein units still floating around. Buyer beware.

In just a couple minutes, I'll pop in a freshly charged batt and use it to test the ohms on the faboo DiD setup I made last night. Then, I will photograph it so I can post in the VapeMail thread.... then, I will show remarkable restraint and re-box it and gift wrap it with a tag saying "To Mommie, Love Peanut". Then I will patiently wait until Monday night (we open gifts in the German tradition on Christmas Eve) when my son opens his gifts, to re-open it and enjoy my first vape on it.
Wow, I feel like a kid again! Monday night can't come fast enough!

Good to hear. Just make sure you heed the warnings if using stacked. Read the resistance after a battery swap, power off/on and atty change.
Thank you, and yes I will take great care. At the moment, I don't even own any 18350s so I'm good, but I might try to get some so I can try it in stacked mode. Thanks
I got this today from canvape, maybe it's an in between version ? Mine has the metal buttons, insulator, but does not remember the wattage or voltage. That's a tiny bit annoying to have to reset it, but I don't really care. It does save the avg/rms and whether it was in vv or vw, but I think all versions do that ?

Mine does not have the red insulator. No big deal IMO. According to a few posts within the thread it appears we have version 1 of the Vamo chip. To me this is not a concern as other than popping a couple of really low LR attys < 2 ohms my Vamo is working just fine.
I just got mine 2 weeks ago and has all the revisions for V2 model..it will not remember the wattage setting though..it will remember everything else..No2, VW setting just not what the wattage was set to..not a big deal for me..
That's the same as mine struckus. It would be nice if it saved the wattage/voltage number, but taking 2 seconds to set it when you switch the batteries every couple of days isn't a big deal.
I'm not worried about popping coils either, I only use LR on lower voltage devices and probably won't run the Vamo with stacked 18350s.

You only switch batteries every couple of days ... wow! I must vape too much.
yeah i'm probably going to stick with 1 18650..I run both setups but mostly the stacked 18350's..I don't go much over 8-9 watts so the 18650 does just fine at these settings..1 cell is safer and easier to change..little more life also..
