I am trying to decide between a vamo and a silver bullet, would appreciate your advice and opinions.
Vamo or Silver Bullet

They are two pretty different PVs. The Vamo has variable voltage/ variable wattage/ led screen/ Avg vs RMS power, etc. The Bullet is a fixed voltage device. The Bullet has been around for a while and the Vamo is relatively new. Both are good devices. For the most flexibility I would recommend the Vamo. Good Luck.
I'm still pretty new to vaping and I want to upgrade my mod. I'm using a twist now. I can't decide what would be better for me, a vv/vw or a mechanical mod. I take long draws and usually hit the shutoff on the twist. I just want a good vape on a more reliable/sturdy built mod
alibaba - I got my V2 in a kit with 2 knockoff vivi novas, 2 18350 batteries that are working just as well as my efest IMR's, a needle tip bottle, and a battery charger.
Paid a -total- of $57, delivered.
Shipping took 4 days from Hong Kong to New Hampshire.
I'd suggest a Silver Bullet with an Evolv Kick. The construction and build quality of the SB is fantastic, while the Kick gives you variable-wattage functionality.
Pretty hefty price tag for less functionality. Silver Bullet + Kick Sleeve + Kick. 10 Watt limit, No resistance check, must remove the kick to change power.
I guess it would depend on how rough you are going to be on the device.
For a 3.7 volt device a Silver Bullet is great and Altsmoke has excellent customer service if anything goes wrong they are there.
I agree that there's less functionality, but for me the price is worth the superior craftsmanship, build quality, and durability. It really depends on what your priorities are in a vaping device. For my part, I rarely stray above eight watts, so the limitation doesn't matter to me. For variable wattage, does resistance check matter much since the output adjusts dynamically?
I use my SB (2 actually) as much as I do my Provari. My first SB is about 18 months old and performs like it did new. Rock solid.
I'd go with the Vamo. It's built pretty well and will do everything you ask it to.
That said, I still like the Silver Bullet. They're solid. Just less features in comparison.

For the whole Kicked SB setup you're talking almost $150. That's quite a big leap for someone to make from an eGo Twist. You can also pick up a blemished Provari for $140-150 so you have to throw that in the mix if your price range is that high.
Now if we're talking just the standard Silver Bullet vs. the Vamo I'm going Vamo but I'm a VV kind of guy.
Right now probably exhalevapors.com. They are in the US. $42.18 shipped:

Use coupon code 40PercentOffECF for 40% off - brings it down to the $42 shipped.
I don't disagree with you, but I didn't see that the OP was concerned with the price difference between the two (I very well could have missed it). I would add that the SB has proven to be sturdy, with many ECF users having used them for years, so you're paying for that as well. While I think the Vamo is a very nice device, I've seen more posters with issues with it than those having problems with the SB. Its longterm reliability remains to be seen, but I would bet that if a vaper bought both at the same time then the SB would last him/her longer.
If you do go with the Vamo, get the stainless steel version. Also be aware that the Vamo is a really long device when used in 18650 mode.
Kalamazoovaporshop has the bolt with sleeve for around $30 toss in a kick and you're set...that said, I also have a vamo. Just depends on how bad you want the digital screen and such. I'd get a provari before a sb and a kick without question tho!
I was in the same situation last month. I was stepping up from a eGo C. After going back and forth for a few weeks, I decided on a silver bullet, a sleeve, and kick. Got my batteries, a charger and loving this setup a lot. I also bought a multi meter, and a couple of different RBA's. I love it. This will definitely last me for a long time, the build quality is top notch. Now in a few months or sooner, I'll get a VAMO, ZMax, Provari, hybrid, or something else, but now I have my batteries, charger etc. so I won't have to really factor those into those purchases, and a quality backup/main AVP in the silver bullet.
