BTW no need to use stainless cleaner to get the slip off. Windex works really well. (I got tired of cleaning it multiple times a day and just wrapped it with cheap shelf-cover vinyl from Lowes, but mine is chrome and I wasn't worried about covering it up. That might change when the protanks arrive though - shine them up, shine up the vamo, uber bling :))

It looks like Exhale only has a chrome and an anodized aluminum? version. I'd planned to cover the ugly swirly things but I expect the glue I planned to use will eat off either of those finishes. Also, Exhale is saying that "fake diamonds" are an option—as if the swirls weren't bad enough already. Hard to imagine who they think their target audience is. I love my girly bling but not that.

An aluminum one might be kind of cool... if done right it would be a ton lighter than the v2's.

Really bad they did not address the post/ grommet issue

Where did you read that they didn't? Link?

That's top of my list for a fix, or better yet adjustable center post AND being able to replace the whole contact assembly cheap. Next is a removable top ring like some of the other mods (SVD, etc.) for easy cleaning or that pesky device (*COUGH!*kanger*COUGH!* COUGH!) that won't natively fit a V2... And last but not least, how about a hole in that top ring somewhere for a lanyard?!?!

Ladies version.

That's how it went down in china with the language barrier.... we kept telling them we were waiting for the "latest" version of the vamo. But they thought we said "ladies" version, and this is what they made.

Really, are we SURE this is what the new Vamo will look like? I have one now and don't plan to get another outside of a gunmetal body. If my chrome one breaks and I can't fix it I don't want to have to get one of those. I will get a SVD instead or pay through the nose for a... nah.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Sales drive production.
V2's sell like hotcakes, I can't imagine the V3 doing the same.

True dat. I want to customize my Vamo baldly, but I plan to wait to order a second tube incase I do something regrettable to it in the process lol. I plan to buy one of each body style anyway so what does that say about sales right?

Vamo v3 looks like a SUMAN (a Pinoy Rice Cake). :D

D@mn ... it's even longer than the V2 :?:
That was surprising, and not good. In the review, Matthew appears to be pointing at the V2 display at the same moment he says: "the more clear of them, this one". I'm guessing that's not what he means, and that the OLED display of the V3 is in reality clearer than the LED display of the V2.

The review is not very well done but it's mercifully short compared to the long and rambling ones that are sure to come out.

Basically it's a 3 button Segelei that looks horrible. Only improvements I see it the display is not slanted like Segelei mods and the top cap.

You know some logical improvements would have been something as simple as a spring loaded center pin and a SS threaded 510

I don't see this doing well unless you want to set it next to a Tesla or a K200
