Vamo V5 vs. Joytech Evic

[Frenchfry1942]

I am looking at these two and they seem comparable, but there is a big money difference. Has anyone had both?

Thanks

Not me; (I have a vamo3 and a vamo5s control head); but there's a vamo6 out now, and an evic supreme.

joyetech is reputable and higher priced, whereas vamos are pretty much cheap cutthroat prices with different factories churning them out and you get different flavors from different factories I suppose.

Yes, I saw the Evic Supreme and its price. I saw the VAMO V6 also, but, it didn't seem to have a difference than the V5 other than the extra menu item.

You can get the standard Evic for half price or less these days since they've upgraded to the Evic Supreme.

Someone else was just asking about this the other day. If I remember correctly, the Vamo V6 does go above 15W (which is an enhancement from the V5.) When I read that other post, I googled Vamo v. Evic and got some good hits (a lot of previous threads on ECF included.) I recently picked up the Sigelei Zmax V3 because I'd never had a tube mod (or one with replaceable batteries.) I don't drip/subohm, so I don't really need a lot of power. I am running Nautilus tanks, and I was working my MVPs pretty hard at 10.5-11.0 W. Even with the Zmax, I really don't go much above 11W with the Nautis.

I looked at the Vamos (V5s and V6). I would have gone for the V6 if I wouldn't have had to order from fasttech. I wanted something a little (LOT) sooner than what FT would have been able to deliver. I may still get one - I don't know.

Sorry for rambling. I finally shied away from the Vamo V5 (even though they were pretty inexpensive) because a number of folks had commented on button issues. There seemed to be fewer complaints about the Zmax.

Hard to say what you're going to like better. Try to hunt down reviews and take it from there!

Good Luck

That's true; I'd hardly heard issues with the sigelei zmax; mine has given me no trouble, meanwhile my vamo3 I've repaired the center pin grommet twice so far; to be fair I do use the vamo much more because of the button interface, so it does get more wear and tear than my zmax.
