Just picked up a Vamo, the price was right so I figured i would add it to the arsenal. And was wondering if anybody has any thing to say about it pros/cons or whatever.

Pros: good price, deep well for eGo style clearomizers, use many different size batts
Cons: batts rattle from side to side(maybe this is my cheap batts I got with the kit)
This is a really good device and I haven't had no major complaints Check this link out as well, this will go into depth with it fuctions and to how well this device operates. Hope this helps

My cousin got a Vamo for Christmas. JEALOUS!!!
He said the VW is good, but there is no LOCK function for your VV or VW settings, and the buttons are easily pressed on accident. If he leaves it in his pocket, the settings almost always change.
Minor nitpick, but all in all, it's the device I'm currently coveting. I know "PROVARI!" blah blah blah... Not all of us can drop almost 200 clams on a mod.
EDIT: Zero desire for a Zmax or Darwin.
But all of us vapers concluded the up-and-down of the 510 connection on the Darwin was simply silly. I may get flayed alive for this, but I'd never feel comfortable leaving a Darwin in my pocket. If I dropped a poop-load of dollars on a Darwin, and that little ridiculous rotating arm broke, I'd punch a wall, and I don't want to punch any walls.

I have to say for 40 bucks it is an impressive device. with a panny 2250 battery it runs for quit a while and has become my go to device for setting up my atomizers because it is heavy and sits nice and flat so i can work on them.
not too impressed with the chrome finish but planning on tearing it off to make a nice brushed brass anyways now that it's wearing out.
and will probably get the SS for a decent backup to my ProV collection.

I have 2 and they work real good ,only complaint is the weak battery spring,if you use a 18650 battery the weight of it on the spring will cause it to turn off if you move it around a lot.I had some copper hot springs that I bought for some mods a few years ago and put in them.The hot springs fixed the battery rattle and it seems to work better(hits harder).I bought them at altsmoke they were hot springs for the silver bullet fit perfect in the vamo.they are out of stock at the moment, not sure if they will be getting more but they are well worth it,plus can be transferred to other mods in the future

I picked up two since they are such a good price. I thought they'd be back ups to be honest, but I am picking up the Vamo the most right now.
Pros: Can be used in normal or mini size
Variable wattage, and variable voltage
Three buttons makes menu easy to use and you don't accidentally go into the menu if you hit the fire button rapidly.
Has RMS - accurate
Recessed to Ego threads can fit
Menu is easy to use.
Cons: A bit long in full size
Some batteries are a bit loose inside
Bottom spring needs to be stretched up on some. New stronger springs on later releases.
It is overall a great pv.

Just got it in today, batteries are charging cant wait to try it thanks for the links and the info!
I really like mine,seems to be the APV I use most out of all my vaping toys.It is easier to change volts or power,see battery voltage and check coil ohms than the ZMAX.It's pretty durable,I spend 10 to 15 hours a day with it in my work truck rolling around ,dropping it in the floorboard.I bought it as a cheap mod to use at work since things take a beating with me all day.I didn't want to tear up any of my more expensive mods,but the vamo has now become my work and home APV,all my more expensive ones don't get used much anymore
Been playing around with it for an hour or so, adjusting watts and voltage with different tanks and clearos. I am sold!!! I picked it up as well for a cheap work PV, the VW was a plus, but it might end up beating out the provari as my around the house vape as well
Since I got mine I haven't touched my Vmax. Being able to do a quick battery check and change wattage on the fly makes it a winner in my book. Check out jwraps.com if you finish starts to muck up on you or if you just want to purdy it up a bit.
Overall the VAMO is great for the money. It performs well and is easy to use. The weak battery spring is an issue, but can be switched out easily. Another thing to note is the middle section is press fit to the control head section and if dropped or hit just right could come loose or not make a nice straight fit.
