Get this one instead $53.33 Vamo-Vivi Stainless Steel Voltage Adjustable E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Set - with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/2*Panasonic CGR18650CH 18650 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping . Much better batteries and charger and the stainless is said to be more durable finish than the chrome ones.
This is a steal! Go for it, it will be worth the wait! My Vamo by itself at my local B&M was $55 and the charger I bought was $40! Then I had to buy batteries!! The only thing I would add for this order you are looking at, is an 18650 battery for using the Vamo in long mode. Many people here on ECF stack batteries, but I have my concerns about doing that, so I use the 18350 in short mode most of the time, but I use the 18650 when my others are charging. It is rare that I use my Vamo in long mode. 
This is the kit that I ordered and it arrived yesterday. The Nitecore I2 charger included in this combo is very good as well as the Panasonic batteries. Only thing I need are a set of AW IMR 18350 batteries for when I take it out.
I buy from FastTech and can say that my experience with them has been outstanding. I have an MVP on the way, bough a ton of Liqua Juice and a few semi variable Ego clones, no issues at all, super fast delivery from China. Most of my China orders take a month or more, I get my stuff from FastTech in 8 days, free shipping.
I got that kit (the 2nd one with the panasonics and Nitecore) - SueGeo also linked you to the US plug (you had the euro plug - you wouldn't been pretty PO'd if you'd gotten the first kit!) Also, good choice on the SS vs. chrome - wish I had gotten SS, but oh well, I'll get a J-Wrap. I also ordered some 18350's because I understand that this Vamo is quite huge in stacked mode. You can use that Nitecore charger on 18350 batteries as well.
That has the Euro plug and won't work in the U.S. Also the Vivi Novas are knockoffs and are known to be problematic.The link in Post #5 by SueGeo is a a far superior kit with great batteries and a great charger.
What SueGeo said, it has two 18650 batteries. One battery should keep you going all day, easy.
You will need some kind of atomiser system as well since they aren't included in that kit. You can go with some Vivi Nova knock-offs from FastTech, Look for some better Vivi Novas closer to home, or go with some other system. You might like to look at CE5 and CE3 clearos, and the Protank.
If you are game, I can actually recommend the Protank - it worked really well out of the box for me, so I'd have to say that while it is an advanced delivery device, it might be suitable for a beginner.
You may want to try all of these devices on your Vamo. Different things work for different people.
The Vamo V2 may not come with an instruction manual. It's pretty simple but contains some important information; you can download one here. In particular, make sure you set the Vamo to RMS mode (program No 2) when you get it. It is set to No 1 mode by default.

Go with the $53 deal. You won't be sorry. I wish it was available when I bought my setup. Plus, the one you selected has an EU plug.
Yea my fault on the eu plug, just had wrong one selected to link to here. ill def be getting the one with the nice nitecore charger and the 2 18650s. I actually have a protank, and love it. havent had a single problem with it.
Hi, I am a noob to vaping and have been following this thread. whats the difference between this $52.08 Vamo-Vivi Voltage Adjustable Rechargeable Electronic Cigarette Health Keeping Set - 2*18350 / stainless steel / US plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and this $53.33 Vamo-Vivi Stainless Steel Voltage Adjustable E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Set - with Nitecore I2 Euro battery charger/charger cable/2*Panasonic 18650 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Besides the obvious 6 in 1 and 5 in 1 description.
Thanks

A better charger, and two 18650 batteries instead of two 18350's. Get the larger batteries and the better charger, every time. The Vivi Nova knock off with the 18350's is probably neither here nor there. It would get you started but you'd probably need to move onto something better as the knock-off Vivis can be a bit hit-or-miss.
I don't NEED a Vamo...
But I WANT a Vamo...
Hmm...
And to answer the question about the difference between the two, the Nitecore charger is far superior to the standard charger the other kit includes. Same deal with the batteries. The Panasonics rank right up there with AW based on everything I read.

Thank you guys for pointing out the differences! I'm using the GS sub 2.0 telescopic atm but gonna try this out anyway!
Actually AW does not manufacture batteries. They buy the best from the larger battery companies and rewrap/ rebrand them with their own wrapper. Panasonic is one of the companies they purchase from.
The difference between the two is major to me. The nitecore charger and the panny batteries make a perfect combination.
If you get something from Fasttech and it is DOA, how much does it cost to send it back to Fasttect?
And I'm sure that a Customs Form must be filled out in Person at the Post Office.
I don't mind paying a Few Bucks more to buy something from a US Seller. If there is a Problem it is Easier to Return. And the Profit on the Sale goes to a US Company and not Overseas. Also helps the US Economy.

Good Point. A friend got a DOA Vamo from VB and it cost him $12.00 to ship it back. He's still ahead $$ wise but mucho aggravation and took 2 months to resolve the issue.
