Vamo V2 and batteries

[AdamThomas]

Hi guys, I'm thinking about purchasing a Vamo V2, love the ohm meter love the variable watts and volts. Just love everything about it!

So i was wondering the 18650's do they need to be flats or nipples and will i be better off getting the 18350's so i can have short version or long version and do these need to be flats or nipples. Thanks!

I have both flat top and nipple top 18650s both work just fine in my v2 vamo. I personally prefer the longer battery life of one 18650 over one 18350. I do not trust stacking batterys. I have read too many warnings here on ECF to stack batterys comfortably.

IW IMR 18650s are VERY nice batterys in the vamo.

My post can be deleted if necessary i just found a thread all about it!
Sorry

I have a 350 and 2 650s. All 3 have nipples and they work wonderfully. I've seen people mention on ECF that they have flat batts that work just fine too though. Apparently the V2 has a better spring than the older ones, so it's not really an issue. I just like the nipple ones since it's "idiot proof" (read: don't accidentally insert backwards). I'm unsure whether the VAMO has reverse polarity protection, but I know some mods can be seriously damaged by this...

Ohh thanks for the quick response haha! The thread continues!
That's brilliant mate, i was worried as i know the Lavatube liked the flats, so i was like ehhh which does it take!

These are what I use, but I tend to mostly use it in the 18350 configuration.

Batteries : AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700mAh
AW IMR 18650 1600 mAh

lmao, that made me chuckle @ the idiot proof.

are the batteries okay to be protected or will this increase the size and make it not fit in the tube itself ?

The Vamo has built-in protection and won't work with protected batteries. It's designed for safer chemistry batteries.

Thank you very much
I need the IMR's then

 

[Myrany]

The Vamo has built in protection. THe safest batterys for it are IMR safer batterys.

Are these ones okay to use, just looking on eBay:

yes it does but if it was me I would go with this kit
$50.00 Vamo-Vivi Voltage Adjustable E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Set - with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/2*Panasonic 18650 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

it is worth the extra money for QUALITY charger and batterys

 

[AdamThomas]

Balls, I already ordered the one with the different charger, i think the batteries are the same in both packages. When it arrives i'll buy a new charger. I also sneaked a cheap RBA in there, never ever tried dripping but i do rebuild my ProTank and EVOD, love doing it this is why i want the vamo because i rebuild alot, and dripping is ment to be good but something about the TH is alot stronger ? might have to dilute my DIY xD

 

[Myrany]

The NItecore chargers the i2 or i4 are fantastic and cut the charging time of my batterys in half over the charger that comes with your kit.

I have an octopus rebuildable dripping atty. Quite honestly I never liked dripping until I got the Octo. 10-12 drops at a time means I am not dripping near so often. You might or might not end up lowering your nic levels. I didn't have to with the octo but I did with my AGA-T2s (rebuildable tank system).

I am not a huge huge fan of in your face TH. I find with the dripper it just depends on the flavor how hard it kicks you.

 

[AdamThomas]

Yeah mate, that's why i just brought a cheap as chips one, i think it was $4 or something so you can't really go wrong for something to just try to see if you will enjoy it. I didn't really wanna spend like the $15-20 that some are. Its a thing i'm going to do at home, just for when i need that nic I can just drop a few and get that hit. Same with the Vamo its going to be a at home type thing i cant imagine carrying it around unless i think im going to get mugged and bop someone in the head with it haha, I noticed your err picture there. Take it your US server and a druid. I play also but gametime has ran out im on EU, 90 F Mage, 90 F DK, and leveling a rouge
Waiting for my free week when blizz feel like giving it out to get back into it haha!

More than 7 years in WoW
Other than the hunter I almost always run Heals or tank

These days I am in LOTRO more though. Just a nicer community and no subscription required.

I am actually considering having a custom phiniac tank done with a bear on it and the words "Druid Tank"

 

[AdamThomas]

Nice man a custom tank! That would be pretty sweet man those things look pretty sweet too

I have not quite got the years you have in WoW, only 2 here. play the mage the most, love the DPS in BG's dropping frost bombs, ring of frost and orb. lovely stuff. I heard latest patch is more towards that shammys ? Don't know if this is true or not, Im hit and miss with MMO's now, ive been through too many. I started on Perfect World Int for about 5 years and dumped about £3k into it. Its a heavy PvPpay to win game. I not long ago checked how much i was cash shopping...I thought, this isn't good. Now im stuck with a few chars ive spent £3k on and for what ? the server to die eventually becuase i cant sell the characters they'll just get banned...I was stupid to spend that amount, to put it in perspective to fully refine a piece of gear is £200 then to add gem/stones for the top ones they are $50 and they can hold 4 then its about £150 for the gear item itself so, you can imagine, I played Rift got top gears at the time for my assassin and capped level in about a month, no end game so that was a disappointment for me. Didnt really feel anything for the game when i capped. WoW is just great its my favorite, just cant go wrong its a good game and you dont need a brilliant PC to play it and the community is alright, not the best alot of people who will troll and ..... at one another. LOTRO never played
