I can't stand waiting. I spent a little more money buying from a US supplier and got both of them in 2 days. Hopefully you get yours soon, the holiday season is usually a nightmare for shipping.

Close enough. But the VAMO has a slightly tall center post so that there is about 3/4 mm. gap to allow the Vivi Nova 3.5 ml. to get air. Very nice design feature, IMO!
Is Zainy.net an american supplier? They have it for super cheap right now.
Edit: Just went through the checkout (almost) and they are shipping "China Air". They have a good kit with 2 Vivi Novas for $50. ($26 if you count nova pricing here) Gotta wait 2 weeks for china customs though.

I did not know that when I stacked the 18350 batteries I was getting over 7 volts. Is this about right?
hunny, patience is a virtue. and yes, we will never order there again. besides, we have another one coming in from co-op. hopefully 2.
it's not. that's the place we ordered the kit from. other ppl seem to have good experiences from them tho. mine? well, I ordered on 11/28, it's still no where to be seen.
They have several websites. If it comes from china and they are not giving you real wholesale price (think $1.50 for Vivi novas), then it's this one company. You can tell by their web design as it's identical and the inventory matches on each item from site to site. Don't buy china to save money lol
I realize that the china website price is basically half what our US suppliers like gotvapes are charging us, but they are inserting cheap stuff in there too so its a gamble.
If you want real wholesale with sometimes no minimum order #/amounts, check this site out. It's amazing how much US suppliers rip us off by.

Want a skull drip tip? $2.25. Gotvapes price $7.. Etc.... This is where major US dealers get their stuff from and resell it. They've got a Vamo V2 with a couple batteries, charger, and carry case for $34 lol

Finman1 if you are referring to Zainy.net, they do Not have multiple sites selling the same items. The Zainy store is run by a lady, she works extremely hard to offer the best service she can, she also uses VaporHawk as an outlet to sell her products, you can always choose to use EMS which is faster than China Post or you can go to a Trusted Vendor like Health Cabin.
But once the item has been shipped there is nothing they can do about it, same as sending an item using USPS, you can't go into the post office and ask them what the hold up is at Customs, they can't tell you and if you ask them for the item to be returned to you they'll just laugh at you, so why do we think that Chinese vendors have some kind of sway with their postal services? If you need it faster pay a little extra and get it sent using DHL or EMS especially when there are bumper sales and it's peak season.
PillowKing & Princess, have you contacted Zainy yet? Use their Chat messaging system and let them know, ask them to help you. Emailing often doesn't work.

I'm not even certain those are the same devices as being discussed here. They look identical but no where in the description does it state its a variable wattage device. It clearly states it will do variable voltage with no reference whatsoever to wattage. I could be wrong but figured I would point it out just in case.
No it is not. If you get a current version all the batteries fit fine. its perfectly okay to stack 18350 as well. Many people including me have with no issues plus it says right in the literature that its perfectly fine. Go for the Smoktek version and you will have no problems.
I took the plunge tonight. ordered my vamo ss from smoktek and a aw imr 18650,aw imr 18350 & xtar charger from rtdvapor. i also relized during the check out process with smoktek that they are only a few miles from me. i will be visiting there shop in the future for more goodies I'm sure.
Recently moved from 2 EGO Twist to a chrome Vamo. Still use the Twists for when I'm on the run with some wick modified Vivi Novas but most of the time, I just Vamo! Might get a stainless steel one when my local shop gets some. Yes, a walk in brick & mortar store just opened in Montreal.
Only issue I had with the Vamo is that it's slippery and often falls from standing position. I noticed it's OD is 22.2mm (7/8"), the exact OD of BMX and some moutain bikes. Got my hands on some old BMX grips and use them on the Vamo. One could dress the whole PV with cool grips. I just go for top & bottom. Was glad they where on when the Vamo fell down the concrete stairs. Rubber protected it. Boing boing boing.
Here's a picture of my chrome Vamo with the grips on and a DID clone with clear tank.

What are the pros and cons of the stainless vs the black chrome? I like the looks of the black chrome much better, but am afraid of the finish wearing out as I've read elsewhere.
Well i found out today smoktek does not have a store front....bummer. I've also heard the gun metal vamo scratches very easy that's why i went with the ss.
Loving my Vamo. The battery rattle issue is done with V2. Been using nothing but 650's in mine without a hiccup. Grats on the device - it is awesome!
So got my vamo and batteries. this thing is SOLID! i played with the settings a bit and when i put the battery in......no rattle....ut oh.....yup that means i have the thicker spring and yes it did heat up my bottom cap. but i was prepared for that to be the case. when smoktek gets the new springs in ill get one. until then ill still vape it just not as hard and heavy as i usually do.
Faylool, Im getting 8.2 volts fully charged on stacked 350s and 4.2 volts on the 18650.
