My Vamo V3 arrived today. Ordered 7/31. So not too bad.
A little heavier than my SIDs, menu is OK, and does what it's supposed to do. I do like the spirals, makes it easier to hang on to.

After the one person had their package take 7 trips in and out of the SF office I worry just about anything could throw SF for a loop and get my package stuck in a loop.
had to send my SVD back yesterday because the firing button started acting up...wouldn't work half the time unless I pushed it really hard! worked great for 4 days tho...I think it was just luck of the draw...I love everything about the SVD from fasttech...very nice unit... and so far has been no hassle with requesting a replacement...wil report back
So, another update on that i-atty. I completely gave up on the SS wicks they give with it. they give two, and it looks like its silca wrapped in SS. The problem is, I could not for the life of me get them to not short. I re-coiled and re-oxidized them both 15 or so times, and no matter what I tried, As soon as I wrapped it it would read sub ohm, and if it would fire it would short out and burn out the wire between the top of the wick and the center post.
Maybe I'm just some kind of terribly bad rebuilder, but I just gave up, threw a ceramic wick in there, wrapped it at 1.3 oHms with 32 kanthal and have been vaping it on the vamo with no issues. Hits nicely with a similar draw to the RSST.

Ok, here ya go... and by the way, the MVP is my new favorite. I don't even use the Provari anymore... it's just that I like the small square shape and the batt lasts 2 straight days.

Was wanting to see the itaste vv ego style battery .You know the square long kind but this helps .Hopefully someone will have one Im talking about.
Oh, sorry. That's one stick I don't have. Andy by the way, Fasttech has a knock-off of it now too...

I like this new telescoping variable device from KDS, the makers of the VAMO, called the Kmax. Available in bronze, silver, and black. I like the looks, and the review I saw makes it seem durable and well built. It does have only one button, so the menu would be something like a Zmax or Provari. I've only used a 3 button set-up with VW devices, but I hear a person get's used to the 1 button menu fairly quick.
Not sure if I want to get this or the Innokin iTaste SVD telescoping APV that's been out for a while.

Yeah seems better to spend $10 more and get real deal with VW and micro usb port.
Kmax IMO link but again beyond performance aspect of what you are using it for. It's like juice in a way of personal taste.

Ok, I got my Ithaka clone coil working, turns out it was actually a problem with the center pin not being tight inside rather than the coil. The pre-made dual coil rig reads in at 1.8ohms.
So, I loaded it up with my tried and True Pineapple/Mango DIY and, well... this thing (the Ithaka clone) .. I'm more than impressed but also mad. I was not expecting something so dramatic.
This thing is SO damned efficient that none of my juice tastes ANYTHING like they do in a Protank, CE4, T3, EVOD or anything else. This thing is in a league all it's own. The flavors are SO much more distinct, separated and prominent, I can't figure out if I even like that because I've grow so accustomed to the muted flavors I have designed for myself and the now obvious inability of cheaper clearos to deliver it. I had built my flavors on Protanks mostly, and they usually taste pretty close to the same in other devices, but this Itaka is off the dang scale. If I'm going to use it, I'm going to have to buy 10 of them and start from scratch on DIY because NONE of my recipes will work now, they are far too strong. I can now actually taste each individual flavor that is mixed in with my juice... I can actually pick it out and tell it's there rather than tasting the resulting mixed flavor, if that even makes sense. I'll have to cut flavors at LEAST in half. I'm going to try it in single coil configuration when I get some wire just to see what it's like, but this thing ...
This thing is definitely not for plug-n-play people. It is infinitely adjustable for warmth, airflow, wicking rate, pin length, you name it.
I mean, this thing hits so hard, I'm going to have to drop from 18mg to 12mg or maybe even lower. And the flavor... jeezus man, I swear someone actually snuck in here and squeezed actual pineapple and mango juice into my tank when I wasn't looking.
I just don't know what to say.
Does this sound normal to you guys who are experienced in this arena? I've done my share of vaping, but the most expensive tank I've used is an iClear30 if that tells you anything. I think I may have bit off more than I can chew with this thing. I'm really excited about the ability to tweak all the things that have always been annoyances with other tank systems, but getting this where I want it is going to take a while.
Seriously, it reminds me of when I used to race local dirt tracks back in the 90's. I started out with a beater, hand-me-down tires and worn out engines I had put together with pocket change. I got used to what I had to do to keep the thing coming out of the corners and keep engine and wheel speed where I needed it to be. Then, one winter I got all new stuff, I had a brand new prof built engine, a Beast chassis and proper tires. It took me half the first season just to get to a point I could drive the dang car. I basically had to learn to drive all over again because I had something that worked the way it was actually supposed to... and that's what I feel like with this stinking Ithaka tank.
Now let me ask you, have you ever heard someone complain before about buying something that worked too well? Is this behavior because of the design somehow? The dual coils? I'd really like to know from a technical standpoint why it delivers flavor and nic so much better than say, a regular Protank that is working properly. Is it normal to have to pump a lot more wattage into something like this as well? Instead of my normal 7.5-8.0 watts, I'm running this thing at 13+. the normal laws of energy and coils don't seem to be applicable here for some reason.
