I just ordered a vamo v5. Does anyone have any opinions on it? Is it good? I've heard good things about it
Vamo v5

I have had one since Jan 17, and have had no problems with it. Have used it nearly exclusively for that amount of time. I have a second-hand V2 that needed a bit of work, and it is one of my backups, safely put away. Thinking about buying a Mukey Vamo next year.
I have a ss v5 and use it at home. It's a bit on the heavy side and not very pocket friendly. If it wasn't so big it'd be and all day device for me.
It is in my left hand most times, and with a wrap on it is purse-friendly. It seemed heavy at first, but I am used to it now-- a twist seems so tiny.
It will serve you well, I have 2 and worked fine for me until I started doing RBA's and needed more powerful devices.
I have a V2 for over 1 1/2 it's still hanging on by a thread and V5 also that I'm vaping right now at 10 watt's with 2.0 ohm coil and just order another this week in gun metal from fastech. I use mine in RMS better flavor and more vapor. I love them all. I use one 18350 batteries when I go out, it nice palm size for me. Home 18650. They come with instructions but doesn't tell you how to switch from means to RMS - Hold down right button it take a while but your go into Means/RMS.
I had a V2 that died. So I bought a V5. I have never had a problem with it. You'll be happy with it for sure.
I have 2 V2s (ss, al), ssv3, ssV5, All have been good devices. Love my Vamos.
The mention earlier regarding MEAN/RMS. If yours is like all of the Vamos I gotten to date, it will come in MEAN mode. Set it to RMS first thing. The setup instructions don't mention it or how to set it up. Hold the left or right (+or-) button down for 10 seconds. The display should show RMS. If not, do it again until it shows RMS.

I bought my ss vamo when they were first released and it's still working great and no problems with the 510 stripping out.
I prefer my SVD at that pricepoint but the Vamos are good performers. Just take care of all the threading! My Vamo's lasted over a year, has been through hell but still puts out vape. Some atomizers depress the center pin but just pry it out!
The problem, I think, with the center pin is that people tend to tighten down their toppers too much. That may have been the problem with the second-hand v2 I have. I would rather do the clearo bottom tight, but the clearo to the vamo only tight enough to make contact. That way I don't have a significant problem with juice flooding when the wrong part unscrews.
my used v2 died the other day so ordered a v5, just got it today and its great just like my v2 
i only use my aerotanks on it, and use my mechs for dripping

the v5 and v3 are the same internals just different bodies I believe.
The 18350 just doesn't last long enough for me. If I wanted to use something smaller, I would just use my ego VW.
vamo was my first mod, and it's a good one. my first one was a v2, and i lost it around the time i was getting into mechs and rebuildables. even though i knew i'd never use it as a daily, i ordered a v3 replacement. it's good for doing quick checks on build resistances and battery levels, and it's a good back-up/travel mod if i need it.
Ive got a V2, works almost flawlessly all the time, the only issue ive began to notice that when using the 18350, the device will randomly shut off. it only began two days ago, and never happens with 18650's, so large mode it is if the small batteries keep causing it to act out.
I have two Vamo V2s and both are still going strong. One in particular was used daily for months on end. 18350 at work and 18650 at home. The only thing that went wrong with it is is I wore off the coat a little bit under the fire button - because I used it so much. I j-wrapped it anyway. Lately I've been using an SVD but I still get the Vamo out sometimes.
