Hi I have a question. I waited over a month to get my vamo v3. I did not get the extension tube to make it real long. To fit 2 18650 batteries in it. It did not come with it. Does anyone know where I can get one in stainless steel. Thanks.

2 18650 batteries ? I dont think thats possible. Might you be thinking about two 18350's ?
I saw it on you tube. Where it is long you can use it as a night stick it is so big...
There are 2 ways to do it but I'm not going to advise as it's not safe- even more unsafe than stacking 2 X 18350 batts. Sales guy at my Vendor's stall had this setup so it is real.
You definitely should not stack batteries. There is a safer way to do it, but as a newbie, it really is not a good idea.
Vamo is a nice easy to use device i have had mine since they were available and still work fine.
Type in vamo mod in search engine and you will see availability.
No not good idea to stack batteries, i use efest and aw brand imr batteries, (1)18350 for short mode or (1) 18650 with the included
extension tube for longer running time.

The Vamo is one of a few devices that are designed to allow stacking batteries. It doesn't matter if they're 18350 or 18650, the circuit board will recognize the higher voltage of the stacked pair and adjust its performance accordingly. With a stacked pair, the Vamo will stop firing and give a "Low V" error message once the voltage drops below 6.4v, just as it does when a single cell drops below 3.2v.
Stacking batteries increases the risk factor. Because of the increased risk, it is strongly discouraged on ECF.
It can be done in the Vamo, but only if you use the highest quality batteries available and religiously follow a strict protocol. The batteries that come with the Vamo kits are not suited for this purpose. That includes the Panasonic 18650B's that come with the 18650 kit. You will need to get AW IMR "high drain" cells from a reputable, stateside vendor like RTD Vapor.
Here is the protocol:

Do not attempt to stack an 18650 and an 18350. A nasty accident is likely to occur.
