Retiring my VAMO

[Matt_417]

My VAMO V2 is about 6 months old. It's starting to glitch on me. It likes to switch from mode 2 to mode 1 on it's own and the atomizer threads are getting questionable. It has been a great PV and will still serve backup duty, although i prefer to carry a big EGO Twist as a spare. The lens over the screen fell out after about 5 months of use but was easily fixed with the thick, black super glue that is used to install R/C car tires.

I ordered an innokin iTaste SVD to replace it. It should be here in a few days. If anyone has any questions on how they compare, ask away and I'll try to reply in a timely manner.

I'm also curious as to what the hive thinks about my decision to go with an iTaste. I don't research devices or spend as much time on the ECF as I used to and decided on this one on a whim based on a couple video reviews and published specs.

Right now I'm alternating between a VTR and a 134, but my Vamo is still getting used daily (six months and still fine). I did add a really nice 510/Ego adapter with a spring loaded contact on the Vamo end and that has proven to be a great addition. Don't ask me where I got it from, I can't remember, LOL

Good decision. The build is better on the SVD.....it has the same 33MHZ chipset that you are use to. A bit heavier. It can eat batteries a bit faster. Telescopic batt compartment is a plus to me.

I am quite familiar with that frequency. I think the VAMO is the 4th tube mod I've had with it. I have built probably 7 or 8, 5v box mods and I do like straight, unmodulated (if that's a word) power but the rattle snake works fine.

I have, use, and like both the VAMO 2 and an SVD.
You'll be happy.
MUCH better threads, and total flexibility on batteries (18350, 18500, 18650, button, no-button)!

Good to know. I never considered the button. I have both types.

You'll like your SVD. The fire button is located where it should be; you can press it with your thumb in 18350 mode without holding it by the battery cap. I always have to turn the Vamo around and use my middle finger. (No I'm not giving it the finger...or am I)

I'm liking it so far. Sometimes I have trouble finding the fire button. I habitually reach too low or try to press the screen. It seems to a well made piece.
