Vamo v2

Not open for further replies.
Heading into my second week on the Vamo V2 and loving it. Still somewhat new to everything and find that I chain vape most of the day. Had the eGo style batteries before and was changing and charging the batteries like crazy. Now one 18650 seems to get me through the day. I ordered four of them not realizing how long they would last. Thinking about buying the V3 tube and having it as a back up. My only question on the V2 is the batteries. It came with two 18350's, but I read enough on the forums to talk myself into not stacking batteries and using the single 18650 instead. Now I am reading that the two 18350's deliver much more power ... has anyone tried it either way, and if so, what was your conclusion? If I do stack it will not be with the generic batteries or charger that fasttech sent.

Love my V2. I take it everywhere. I use it with 1 18650 because I can go all day without having to charge. I did buy an 18350 battery, but never use it. I charged it once and used it for about 20 minutes. Thinking for Christmas I may try to get another for back up (this one was supposed to be my Christmas present, got it early) I got the black chrome version, 2 batts (18650), nitecore i2 charger and an iClear 30 for 58.28 shipped from Fast tech....

After vaping for a month with an Ego-C Twist, I got the Vamo 2 (by choice I stayed away from the Vamo 3....didn't like the look of that one). It has improved EVERY aspect of my vaping experience. I HIGHLY suggest it, especially for a first big battery mod. As a beginner, the Vamo's ability to read resistance, watts, and volts (AND BATTERY POWER AVAILABLE), it has really helped with my learning curve. I'm always checking ohms, and playing with settings. From my experimentation alone, I've learned so much.

According to Pbusardo's tests, it performs much better with stacked 18350s vs a single 18650. As long as you're using good batteries, I don't think there is much to worry about. I will be stacking 18350s once my V3 arrives, fwiw.

From everything I've read on stacking, it's great, but you want to have two 18350s that are solely for that purpose, only use them in pairs, and make sure they are very close to each other in voltage, or you could have issues. I tried it once, and did get a lot more power, but I'm content with my 18650s, and only use the 18350s in shorty mode.

So I have never vaped a day in my life. Analog smoker for 20 years. I have lurked and researched for a month now (driving my wife crazy) and I'm ready for my first set up. The day I get it I plan on kissing the ciggies goodbye.
What do you think of this as a first set up. I want to leap frog over the Twists and go right to mods.

I would value you opinion, as I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

To the people who own one, how long have you had them and how would you rate the build quality. I've just purchased one myself and I'm curious how long it should be expected to last.

I own two, and they have held up really well for me. I've had one since May, and the other since June. Both working perfectly, and one of them even went with me when I fell into a saltwater pool. ;)

I've had mine for a few months and just recently had an issue. The 510 threading is somewhat stripped. I can still get my aga-ts to thread in but my v5 dripper won't thread in at all, and I know it's not the v5 because it can thread into other devices. Still love the vamo though, just be aware that it won't last forever.

Looks like a great order. If I were to knit pick a little I'd just get 2 18650's and not any 18350's just because I never use them and I never use the vamo in short mode. Also I'd rather use one battery than 2 stacked (personal superstition issues) Then I'd ditch the Vivi Nova for some type of carto tank but that's just personal preference. A lot of people like the Novas. You'll quickly find out what you like and what you don't. That is an impressive first order :cool:
