It'll be my first APV and god it's so tempting. Only $46 on fasttech with a promo code. It just hurts pooling that much money into something all at once as I actually did very little smoking before getting into vaping, but I just really love vaping, the taste, the vapor, all just makes me happy haha. So you guys out there with APVs what are your opinions? Is it worth the money over my Ego-T I have now?

Just preparing myself to get bombarded with a TON of yes. I shouldn't ask questions I already know the answers to :p

Oh and just so you know EVERYONE complains about the look of these. Yes its not 100% pleasing but it honestly doesn't look that bad to me, especially black chrome.

And as a side note I'm feeling frisky so I'm gonna use this: :vapor:

I love my VAMOs and you can't go wrong with Fast Tech's prices. If you get the black chrome pick up a clear wrap for it from J-Wraps or Vapor Skinz. The black chrome finish is not the least bit durable.

However, you might want to consider the new Innokin iTaste VV/VW V3.0 if you want something considerably smaller than the VAMO. It doesn't have the power of a VAMO nor the battery life of an 18650 but should be ideal for someone who was a light smoker. The new iTaste has an eGo-sized form factor with passthrough capabilities.

I don't mind a large battery or atty. It makes me feel like a boss haha :p The iTaste looks interesting, but it actually seems to be a bit more even with less power and battery life. Unless I'm just not finding the right prices. I just found the iTaste MVP and had a big ... moment as I thought it was a charger for an atomizer or something haha. Crazy box look. Well next paycheck I won't feel so bad for buying the Vamo so I believe I will purchase it then as APVs have sold me. I just got my new Ego-T so I may as well enjot it a bit before it becomes my secondary battery. Is black chrome really not that durable or is it any less durable than the regular chrome. There really aren't any other options on fasttech. I do like those carbon fiber skins though. They'd make that odd looking vamo look a ton better.

If you don't mind the size the VAMO would be an excellent choice. It has the fastest, easiest menu system of all of the commercially available VV/VW mods. This Fast Tech kit is an excellent price, Vamo-Vivi Stainless Steel Voltage Adjustable E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Set with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/2*Panasonic CGR18650CH 18650 batteries. Unlike nearly all other kits, this one includes an excellent charger and batteries.

The black chrome is much less durable than the regular chrome. Personally, I wouldn't use the black chrome at all without being wrapped. The link above goes to the stainless version of the VAMO which I would recommend over the chrome models. It is extremely durable and has a brushed finish that doesn't show fingerprints.

I would suggest holding off on any MVP purchase. The VapinGreek said that Innokin will be offering a VV/VW model soon.

The eGo T battery is fine but the ECF consensus seems to be that the tank system is junk. Don't waste much time futzing with it if it doesn't work right for you. Just move on to another juice delivery device.

The V2 is an excellent device. I can't see any reason to go with V3 unless that "better" display is very important to you.

Not only the display but the V3 has the removable top ring and a wider well so devices like the T3 don't need an adapter. It is a big improvement over the V2. I have a stainless steel V3 from FastTech and love it. Swirls too. Like the looks better than the V2, myself.
