Since when did we start disrespecting new members at ECF - this is not the way we treat people here

If you think someone is a Troll, use the triangle and report the post. That's up to us to decide. If you think the questions don't have merit, don't answer it.

But there might just be others out there reading this that might be having a similar problem. If you have some useful information as to why a person might not be getting a good vape with a VAMO, help them troubleshoot a bit.

i agree with most of the responses here. If you don't know enough about vv, vp, or are using junk for juice or delivery device, it doesn't matter if you put it on an ego, twist, provari, darwin, zmax, or vamo. You will be disappointed.

If you really want to nit-pick about build quality and interface on a $30-50 mod, that's your business. But to troll this board of vamo owners and blame them because you bought a device that you decided isn't up to par after using it for an hour, is just a waste of everybody's time here. I mean, i'm just not sure what you were expecting.

Take the time to learn about the product. Go to youtube and watch pbusardo or fazed's reviews. Learn the basics of pg/vg ratios, ohms, single vs dual coil, vv, vp, batteries, ect.

I'm sorry that you didn't see fireworks when first vaping the vamo, but if you aren't satisfied with the vapor on this device, then you will most certainly not like the zmax, lavatube, groove, or any of the other devices using essentially the same chipset. And, in all likely hood, you won't be impressed with a provari or other high end apv (unless the fact that it cost as much as 6 vamos makes you feel better).

Just don't come here and rip on a product that many, many, many of us enjoy because this was your first apv and you had unrealistic expectations or don't know how to use it properly. Like i said, there are 1 or 2 things that i could pick on that could use improvement....then i remember that for the price of 2 twists, i've got a well built, reliable device and a few batteries to go with it.

I agree. I was out of line. Sorry. I usually do not respond in this manner.

I can only speak for myself Cardiwen...for me I was put off a little by the OP's immediate classification of his vamo as "junk"...and then declaring that he would never listen to any of us again pretty much closed the door to any advise...I did try to point out his 510 connection may be wet...and others did try to discern in more detail what he was using exactly, but the generalized answers we got pretty much told the rest of the story...im pretty logical...i dont jump to conclusions easily...and maybe i was wrong but sure came off a little fishy (trolly)....:vapor:

i waited 24 days for this??i guess now i will save up for a provari..i hope it is better than this piece of crap..total waste of money..thank you to all the people who seem to like this thing ..i will not listen to you again..

I had and still have issues with this particular segmant of his/her post, and still do. I would expect at the very least he apologize to those whom "he/she" where referring to. Most of us take issue with he/she that bash the members and place illigitamate blame.

I will also add...DAMN you ECF and the great Moderators for helping each other and especially me. I have made a few friends and learned a quite a bit from you members...just who do you think you are teaching me all you have? The amount of valuable information on ECF is disgusting. Thank you.
I bought 5 or 7 Kanger T3's because of the reviews on this site...I dispise them and long for the day I donate them to the masses or burn them in a firey explosion with the rest of my worthless crap. I do not blame anyone but myself.

I've learned not to be a product tester by purchasing early in the production cycle. There's always part and design issues to be solved early on. I've watched the talk on the Vamo and it looks like now is the time to look into getting one. I've vaped my Provari for a year now and kept my eGo and Riva around for backup. I haven't needed them, but the eGo batteries are two and three years old. The Vamo will use the same 18650 IMR's as my Provari, give me the features I need, and the price is right. I expect to order one soon.

i started to watch the video,but when he said the T3 won't fit i stopped it and i don't want to use a adapter.

I will stick with my twists and SLBs and my spinners.

Yeah. Not much out there that will take a Kanger without an adapter or some tinkering. I think that even on the eVic it's really a very tight squeeze and most end up taking off the top ring to fit one. If you love the T3s and are skiddish about adapters, your choices in APVs are pretty slim.

Ya I pretty much gathered that scanning the ECF forums.

This thread is still cracking me up. So funny how we are now talking about T3s civilly. Great forum.
Ok on to Vivi Novas. I used to like these and purchased these a long while back due to the rave on another forum. They worked better when I built the atty myself. I then grew tired of the lack of wicking and maint. I have a couple in the box that I am paying forward. Can't stand em now:). My fault.

I don't know. I use a 70PG/30VG juice in everything from a eGo to a Provari. vamo, SB, LT, all of em. I get all the clouds of vape I want. If it's just the look of the vape maybe you might build a fire from green wood and carry it around with you. I only use carto/tanks and nova's.

I apologize if my earlier post seemed a bit harsh. I myself am a pretty new member and know well the information overload and frustration that can go along with trying to find a suitable vape. Most of us are here to either offer assistance, or to seek out information from others here.

I can understand the disappointment and frustration of the OP, but as the old saying goes, "you get more bees with honey". I admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable guy here, but I'm always happy to share the little I do know with another Vaper, as long as they actually ask a question respectfully. I took the time to learn about my devices before I bought them specifically so I wouldn't be disappointed with them.,

I for one just want to be clear, I never called anyone a "troll". But I don't think it can be denied that when you come to an APV Specific Forum and rag on a device without any real specific complaints about the device itself, and you disrespect the members here that have only tried to help and offer advice, that would qualify as "trolling", even if the OP isn't actually a "troll".

I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure that if the OP would care to come back and ASK for tips and information, the members here would be more than happy to offer help, and I wouldn't be surprised if we could help the OP find enjoyment in his device.

I'm not trying to be the "Politeness Police", but if someone actually asks a question nicely, most everybody here is happy to help. ECF is a great place and has helped me more than I can express. Maybe we can do the same for the OP.
