It looks alot worse in pictures and that is what people see. In person the swirls are no where near as noticeable but gives it a much more sleek appearance. alot of people have said once they saw it in person they had a completely different opinion about the looks
The pictures DO make the Version 3 look fugly.
But personally, I only like any of the Vamos in the Stainless. I think the chrome is cheesy looking, personally. I like the Gun Metal A LOT, but it rubs off within days so..
I love my V3 Vamo. but you know, I didnt really fall in love with it right away. It wasn't until I started using it in Mini-Mode, ie-with an 18350, that I started to really love this thing. My Mini V3 SS topped with a rebuildable, which I coil to 2-2.5ohms for the Vamo, is a wonderful vape. Ive got MUCH more expensive, more exclusive, more cool PVs, but my mini vamo sits right next to everything else, every day.
Honestly for $50, there IS nothing better. There is CLOSE, such as the SiD, but the versatility and capability of the Vamo V3 is unmatched for $50.
