VAMO Batteries and Charger

[patrickbrown13]

Hey guys, im still fairly new to vaping and had a few quick questions.

First, i was wondering what kind of batteries (high drain.....)would be good for a Vamo V5. Right now im using dual coil disposable clearomizers with a cheap usb rechargeable battery that dies after about 4 hours at 650 mAh. I am looking for batteries that are going to last for at least 18 hours with medium to heavy use and want to know what type and what mAh. I will be upgrading to somthing in the Pro tank range when i run out of the clearomizers i have now. Ideally i would like an all around battery that would compliment a disposable clearomizer as well as somthing like a protank.

Secondly, i was wondering what type of wall charger would i need. Does it depend on the type of battery (high drain....) or would any 18650 charger work. And finally, does the battery and charger have to have the same mAh or could i use a charger labeled as 5000 mAh with batteries labeled as 2400 mAh.

The closest dedicated vape shop is about 80 miles away so i really appreciate any and all imput from someone with a bit more experience than myself.

Samsung 25r, or LG h2. I wouldn't trust sony's right now unless you know what to look for. I've got a nitecore charger that's pretty good. A junk charger isn't worth buying. Avoid things with "fire" in the name.

Welcome aboard

I own 4 vamos (2-v2, 1-v3, 1-v5) the vamo max output current is 5 amps. So, you really don't need a 20 amp cdr battery. It's good to have the extra margin but I've been using 10 amp CDR Panasonic NCR18650PF. For me they vape a full 24 hours and are very near a year old. I have 4 that I use in rotation.
I have used the Efest LUC and a Nitecore I4 both are fine chargers.

The rule I use on batteries is that the CDR of the battery determines the max build for your mod. I try to stay under 50% of the battery CDR

are you planning on getting the Vamo or already have one? if you dont have it yet, look into the SVD by Itaste

Thanks for the input. I just ordered the Panasonic's and am bidding on a nitecore as we speak. Ive been cuttimg back on "analog cigarettes" and am calling it quits when my new vape products get delivered. The vape i got from the gas station is trash, but it definitely made my mind up that quitting is possible. Thanks for the help.

I use old and basic batteries on my Vamo. I don't even think they would rate at 7A.

No problem... it's a Vamo!

If you win you bid on the nitecore, I'd offer one suggestion.
Take a q-tip with just a little bit of vaseline and lube battery slides. Mine didn't move real smoothly right out of the box.

The charger outputs miliamps (mA), not miliamp hours (mAh). More miliamps will charge the battery faster, but make sure it can take what you give it, or else you might be in for a bad time. I've also heard that slower charging is better for batteries anyway, so make of that what you will. Most chargers I have seen are in the 500-2000mA (.5-2A) range
