I received my VAMO V3 Stainless steel today! I bought it from fasttech! I got the kit with nitecore charger. I have to say this thing is awesome looking. I love the swirls that are on the V3. Originally I wanted the gun metal color but you all made me change my mind and I'm happy I did. This thing is so nicely built it, it seems like a quality piece of hardware. The nitecore charger is also very nice, I was expecting some cheap chinese charger but I have to say it is verrrry nice. My two 18650's are on it right now so when they are all charged up Ill get to see how it vapes. I picked up an AW 18350 today at a B&M because I heard its very nice in that mode. I wanted to say a few more things but I must go to class now. When I come back Ill post pictures of everything and a few more comments! Im really excited.

Ok so I took one of the batteries off the charger early just to try it out real quick before class. I have the user manual downloaded. To change it to RMS mode I have to hold either the - or + button down for 10 seconds. When I hold either one of them down for 10 seconds alls that happens is I see the reading of resistance. It never allows me to toggle between No 1 and No 2??? Has anyone heard of this problem before? What should I do?

When I hold down Either the + or the - Button, I have to wait a LONG 10 Seconds. More like 15 Seconds. Then It shows me what Mode I'm In.

To Change the Mode. You do the Same Steps Again.

Congrats Musicka on your new purchase.


Not an issue on the V3, it is factory set to RMS only.

Gotcha...

I have a V2.0 and I think by default it came in AVG Mode out of the Box. Also mine will occasionally revert back to AVG Mode by itself. Not very Often. But once and awhile.

Ok so there is a new issue.

The nitecore i2 charger. The first slot's lights stay fully lit with nothing being charged. The 2nd slot does not. The 2nd slot blinks when its charging but the first slow is always solidly lit even when nothing is in the slot. Is this normal?

That Doesn't sound that the Light should be On when Nothing is being Charged.

I'm sure you have tried Unplugging the Charger a Few Times. Right?

I would discontinue use of this charger. In my experience if a charger thinks it is charging a battery when it isn't, some rather unsafe things can happen.
