I love my IGO-L But the o-rings that came with it are to small and the cap comes off too easy I need to find better ones so I can use it !! this atty is great and looks awesome on the VAMO!!!

One or two wraps with teflon tape around the base or a couple of wraps of flat dental floss in the o-ring grooves will tighten up the top to bottom clearance.

How do you like that dream atty? I was looking at one of those.

I like it but be careful on your vamo. The spring loaded pin on it messed up the center pin of my 1st vamo. I think the PV was defective though because it didn't hurt my second one. I just left the air control wide open all the time so that feature wasn't utilized. I'd say get an igo-l instead. The reason is the dream doesn't have the slightly curved drip well like the igo. Also my dream leaks slightly when you load it up a lot due to the lack of drip well. I got the igo-l and haven't touched my dream since but I was mostly happy with it.

What settings you use? I pulled a single wick out of my BCC and am now running 3.7v/2.2ohm in RMS.

I pulled out both loose wicks, and replaced them with a larger cotton wick. Noticed two things happened. 1. the ejuice stays in your wick, and never gets up the tube. 2. the ejuice tastes better.

As for the my settings, not sure, since I leave it between 7.5-8.5watts, I can run all the ohm coils provided. I would adjust based on the ejuice viscosity. I guess that's why the Vamo & eVic make the whole experience enjoyable, the watts setting!

Thanks, im actually thinking of trying to roll some SS through there, but i always wait for the coil to gunk up, since every time i try this with a fresh coil i create a short. Glad to hear you replaced the wick and can hit that wattage. I can run 6W with 1 wick pulled, and was only able to run 5.5 before. These wicks are definitely the only issue with this BCC, otherwise the thing rips. I love how they look too, and that heavy duty drip tip is comfy

I asked drip tip designs if they would make me a shorty carbon fiber drip tip Tuesday, and he did it, and i already got it today. I have a carbon jwrap that will match better but it looks great on the VBCC.

Im also super indecisive now, i do like this red vinyl, should i just let it ride till its beat up and replace or go for the black carbon fiber now? HRMMM

Some of you may have seen this before posted elsewhere, but Awsum140 knows that I prefer to start out with inexpensive mods. Originally I made my own "ugly tanks" from syringes, and loved the vape, but messy to fill. Then I found the Artemus Tanks at Mad Vapes for $8.49. Chrome Artemas Tube, Clear
They are easy to fill, inexpensive carto tanks and look great on the Vamo. I am using Smoktech single coil, prepunched 3.0 Ohm cartos, but I slot them a little larger with a Dremel Tool on the bottom punched hole. Great vapor and taste.

I will eventually move up to the AGA T+ which is a very good looking rebuildable, but for now these inexpensive Artemus Tanks are perfect for me.

Looking good there rabbit. I just got the amp tank in today, sporting that on the vamo.

Just a little Volt and iTaste stuff there, left to right middle row - Volt X2-650 with T3, Volt 78mm with CE3, iTaste VV V2 with Tidy Tank. Back row 18350, 18650, 18350 (don't want to run out of batteries for the Vamo either!)

Since my Z-Max is mostly dead now (decides to run everything at 6v in VW mode, regardless of mode), I'm going to replace it with a Vamo since I finally found someone with AGR Tanks in stock.

Quick question for those with the Gun Metal finish. What's the quality of the finish? A lot of gun metal/black chrome finishes tend to have a very soft clear coat that scratches easily and even imprints fingerprints into the coating if you hold it for a long period of time.

I love the look of gun metal and I haven't heard of any complaints. Just wanted to make sure it'll hold the finish before I order it over the stainless.

I've had one a couple weeks. Mostly keep it in my shirt pocket, but haven't had any scratches or discoloration yet. I do have a SS on the way.
