I recently dropped my Itaste VV v2 (my first variable wattage setup), which, along with a Protank 3, I've been reasonably happy with for about a year, and it was unusable afterward. After the drop, it would randomly restart itself, and on doing so would reset into voltage control mode, at a rather high setting, causing no end of frustration due to interrupted (or suddenly burned) vaping sessions.
I've got a buddy at work with a Vamo V5 and Aspire Nautilus tank. As he's been tickled to death with both since getting them, I ordered a Vamo V7 kit, and Aspire Nautilus. I don't have the Nautilus yet, but I've had my Vamo for a couple of days.
First off - that sweet 18650 battery.
Being able to charge when I choose to because it lasts so darn long, instead of charging multiple times a day is great. (With the Itaste, it was best just to plug it in whenever I wasn't using it - which was admittedly convenient due to the design.)
Second - I'm still using my Protank 3, and same juice as I had on the VV. But whereas before I never went above 8 watts because I would get occasional off-taste doing so, I'm discovering new complexity to the flavor of my juice at 9 to 9.5 watts - and no burned taste. I really don't know what to make of this. Either the VV was on the fritz for some time, or maybe the controller circuitry is better in the Vamo - but it's a much better experience, with the same juice in the same tank.
I don't know that vapor production is any different, nor would I really have expected it to be. It might be more consistent, but I think that's likely just the rainbow effect of having something new.
So now I'm pretty much drooling with anticipation while I wait for that Nautilus tank. My buddy is getting huge billowing clouds (in comparison to my Protank 3) on relatively short, zero effort hits, and I can't wait to see what that is like.
I know there is much more advanced and high end stuff out there. But, having started a few years ago on a KR808D1 cartomizer setup (and then moved through Ego-T, Ego-C, Protank 1, then Protank 3 on various batteries), I'm pretty amazed at what fantastic, low maintenance setups are available these days for reasonably affordable prices. I'm already happier than I've ever been with my vaping setup, and I'm expecting to be even happier when that Nautilus gets here.
If anyone else has followed a similar path, and is considering a Vamo, I say go for it!
