My Vamo arrived after 3 weeks in a plain white box with no instructions or labeling. So far so good. On a side note the 2 vivi nova tanks I ordered are not cool. 3 out of the 6 heads are DOA and one of the tanks does not seal.

It is a good deal for sure, however after reading this thread along with the vivi nova issue I will never order from again.

Yes, that's good that your vamo works, you can rebuild these heads which is a good thing, tank leaking not good, I've had some vivi's that leak, you get some good ones and sometimes not so good.

Well, here is the end of my journey with VB. I just got my refund.


I decided to chat with VB to see why they changed their mind so soon. I asked Karen if they heard back from China Post, and they either sent it back to VB, or they moved it along from whatever crevice it's been sitting in in Beijing International, or whatever. She said that they still had no information from China Post but get this... "but we can't keep you waiting, so just make a refund for you".

I couldn't believe it. :blink:

PayPal closed the claim since VB actually refunded. I checked my bank account and the deposit is pending for use on 4/11.


Since they still have no idea where my package is, I guess it's possible that I may still receive it (a month or two from now), but I'm not counting on that by any means. Who knows where it is.


I'm happy for everyone that ordered and actually got them. I won't be ordering from them again though.


Cheers everyone! :vapor:

Truly sorry it didn't work out 4 you n4sdaq, glad to hear paypal came thru though.

If you're still vamo inclined, exhalevapors has great prices & service, coupons too, probably have it in your hand by this weekend. Would have gone with them myself, but being we're both in TX would have to pay additional state tax.

Best o luck!

Bad news and Good news..

Bad News.. dropped my Vamo hard on an asphalt parking lot and gouged it today....

Good News... SS Vamo from VaporBreak is really SS (or at least not plated brass like the chrome models) like some people have said because it does not attract a magnet.. Like I have said before only high grade SS has magnetic properties and this is is defiantly not plated brass..

Anyways my Jwrap arrives tomorrow... The black ostrich textured wrap is going to look awesome...

    Vaporbreak requested a picture of my unit with the cross-threaded bottom cap and a video of the unit with the bad connector. I emailed the picture and video today. I guess I'm at least optimistic enough to bother making a video. For $30 it totally wasn't worth the time. Stupid of me to bother. It'll be interesting to see what happens though.

    The Vivi Nova you get from VB is not a Vision Vivi Nova. It is a clone called aCLEAR. It is not recommended to use Vision replacement coils in it. Either get them from VB or an aCLEAR supplier. Here is a link to GotVapes to help identify what you have. The big difference is in the drip tip and coil head.

    aCLEAR 3.5ml Variable Clearo Tank Kit w/3 heads Nova Clone-CLEAR [gv-aCLEARVariableTank-CLEAR] - $12.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

    I didn't order a vivi with mine, but I did on an order from Ocean Vapors. At least you can rebuild the coils and wicks. I do my own in just a few minutes. (I prefer using (4) 1mm wicks to (1) 3mm wick.)

    I don't think that's the VB one.. I get one with my vamo and it's really cheap... The tank is marked like a Vision only to 2.8ml but the heads and the heads are a little different than the one aClear. It looks like the metal above the coil is longer.. I rebuild evods all the time, but this looks like a pain because the coil sits so much deeper than either the evod or even aClear.. or at least in the picture it doesn't look as deep as what I have in my hand..

    I just wanted to check it out for $6 bucks but I don't think it is worth my time trying to rebuild it.. On the plus side it did work pretty well and I was able to vape the thing almost completely dry..

    The fasttech one for $5 shipped looks like the aClear...

    I got two of them from VB and the drip tip and coil head match the aClear. The tube matches the Vision however. It seems to be a mishmash of aClear and Vision parts.
