Vamo or Zmax or ???

[Zee2006]

ok so I'm thinking about Christmas, I'd like to get my daughter and son-in-law their 1st mods...

I was kinda thinking Zmax or Vamo...... what would y'all think? or maybe another suggestion?

They've been vaping bout 4 months, I know they really want to move into the mod world but cost
keep them at bay.... sooooooo.....

input??

PS I should add they vape alot more then me... my itaste V3 is plenty for me but they'd tear right through that, it'd always be on charge LOL

Vamo is a great value, I do prefer the Sigelei Zmaxes over my Vamo, mainly because they are smaller, lighter, and to me seem to be better built, but that is just my preference.

MVP, SVD, both by Innokin, maker of the itaste are good also. Smoktech SID is worth looking at. Many other good devices out there and I am sure someone will list them.

Vamo is good, Zmax is good - Or if you are happy with Innokin - what about an MVP2 or Itast 134...even a VTR now that today is the release date

I am not certain how helpful I am since I just gave you even more choices But I would think just pick one for each of them in your price range out of any of those and they will be thrilled and have a great device with good battery!

If you go the Vamo route you may want to consider the new Vamo V5. It combines the plusses of the V2, V3 and V4 into one new Vamo.

Here is where to get one and don't miss the additional 12% discount code on the home page:

Those new batteries I turned you onto yesterday. [Nudge. Nudge.]

That Vamo V5 looks interesting. Although I'm curious as to why they went back to allowing AVG vs RMS power mode.

I'm really diggin' the V3. Most of my other setups are sitting around and getting jealous.

I have both the Vamo and zmax. I like the Zmax better. It definitely has a better build and is a bit smaller than the Vamo.

the sigelei zmax telescoping flat top has been my go to mod - the v3 and now the v5 are well built and require no tubes to keep track of- want to vape all day, simply unwind an put in a 18650: want a pocket friendly size? just put in a 18350 and it fits anywhere. brushed stainless it has survived the occasional misstep. the v5 has the upgraded menu system and removable top cap for cleaning. even with my more expensive dna20 custom mods I still use the zmax everyday and have enjoyed its versatility. you can't go wrong choosing it......

 

[Hoofhearted62]

I have a zmax v5 and a magneto, cant go wrong with either

Another HUGE fan of the Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescope here. Even my wife (who thought that mine looked like an "adult toy for robots") has changed her mind (especially when I showed her just how small it can telescope down) is considering moving from eGo's to this mod. She noticed and agreed that the vaping experience (due to the set-and-forget VW capabilities) is superior and that the "battery budget" would be smaller than replacing eGo's as they die.

The Zmax has a single-button menu, IIRC. With these systems to access the various menu options you have to 'scroll' through a number of options to get to the one you want. Then if you want to change that option again, scroll away once more. I've found these systems rather annoying, imo.
The Vamo has a two button menu access; wanna change voltage/wattage, press a button for immediate results; check battery voltage, press and hold a button; atty resistance, press and hold the other button. This is the feature that keeps the Vamo in my hand all day long .

Whatever you do I recommend NOT purchasing a Smoktech Zmax based on my own experience. The Smoktech performed well but developed ever worsening fire button issues. Instead of firing it would randomly start scrolling through the menu and changing values before I could figure out what was happening. As I understand it this is a very common issue with the Smoktech Zmax and to the best of my knowledge has not been corrected.

I now have a Sigelei Zmax telescope and feel it to be a good performing and solid device, much superior in build quality to the Smoktech version. I also have a Vamo V2 in the stable. It is well built for the price in my opinion. My biggest gripe is the top +/- buttons. It is way too easy to accidentally hit one and adjust voltage or wattage up or down. Other than that it performs well for me and is certainly less expensive than the Sigelei Zmax.

I prefer the vamo, but that's just my opinion!

Its a matter of asthetics for me Zee. I like to put the jwrap on mine and the ribs on the v3 would make it look wonky. The v2 doesnt have those ribs. I have the v4 also which is a the v2 with the v3 guts. Its purely at your preference though. IMHO the vamo, no matter what version is a good price point mod.

I just got an MPV 2.0 and I LOVE IT! If they want HUGE battery life from a small device, go the MPV route. 2600 mAh battery and an easy menu system with VV/VW settings and an OHMS checker. They will love it too!

 

[Stephuhnator]

I don't think you can go wrong with either the Zmax or the Vamo! I just added another Vamo to my collection, the V5 Vamo. I like the Vamo V5's new "Sigelei Zmax like" OLED screen and the dimpled ring on top. Give em some Protank II's as well, they're awesome IMHO!
