Anyone know if the stainless steel model is the same price as the black and chrome?
The Vamo.

I got mine for $43.50 from Health Cabin, they call it the Bamboo for some reason. I think the others are just a few dollars less everywhere else. I do recommend the ss version, it's built like a flipping tank.
I just checked my store,the SS Version will be here in 10-14 days,ill think ill wait,but they have lots of the black and chromes,did they improve the SS?..hows the battery rattle,better spring on the cover?
The biggest con with the ss version seems to be that a lot of them do not save your wattage setting after a battery change. Granted, some report the same thing with Chromes. (My regular chrome remembers wattage).
Alot of places are giving you a better spring, if not 2 types that help with the rattle. I have the thinner, longer spring and all I did was wrap tape on my batteries a few times to solve the rattle.
The Black Chrome one I have is losing some of the black "tint" to it. Now this may be an exception because I have a bad habit of putting it in my pocket.
Cool,glad i asked,didnt know the wattage setting would change on some of these,not a big issue tho,BTW,the guy at my store suggested that i go the viva nova with the Vamo,but i think i need and 510 adapter,am i correct.?
Black chrome is prone to peeling on a lot of devices. My regular chrome has a slight "scuff" you can barely notice. But that was due to touching it with juice on my hands and scraping it on a counter top.
My Vamo is not skinned so I don't really care about the finish anymore.
The Vamo has a 510 that is slightly raised for airflow ... you don't need any adapter. I use mini novas and genesis atomizers on my Vamo with no issues.
I actually think it may look kinda cool,its gives it that beat up broken in look,like a pair of jeans,you can even refinished them too,maybe repaint with a black matt paint
I don't have any problems with mine, I mostly run it in 350 mode, though there is zero rattle with 850's. I like the heft of the ss, it feels real good in the hands.
I may have made a mistake,i should have made this thread in the PV topic section,sorry ECF.

Even the chrome versions make great paper weights ... can't imagine how the ss feels. Though, the steel could be thinner. I honestly have no idea. Both versions are probably going to be heavier than you expect. Heavier AND smaller than you expect actually.
That's OK. You can always hit the black triangle on the bottom left and report it and we can move it a lot more quickly for you.
Thanks,i just asked the thread to be moved over to the PV section..BTW...this site blows fakebook out of the water.
