Vamo vs Lambo vs?

[Thrasher]

So Health Cabin does not sell the batteries or the charger for it?

look at my previous link - go to health cabin and enter 18650 in the search box comes up with batteries and like 5 chargers plus in the general batt column they offer the 16350's as well
and in the actual product listing it says uses 18650 batteries like these and shows a link - lol cmon man work with me here

Hula Hoop over the phone.

The wife is going to kill me as I just ordered several new mods,(on top of several large exotic wood orders), but I am going to HAVE to have one of these.

I ordered mine from Health Cabin Thursday night and received it Monday (Hong Kong to Texas). They use DHL which has a pretty good online tracking service. Some people have mentioned delays due to customs but luckily that hasn't happened to any of my orders. Loving my Vamo so far and as others have mentioned you can't beat the price for what you get. Nice introduction to the world of variable wattage.

I ordered the metal button version as well. Wonder if the paint wears off like other similar tube mods. I ordered it knowing full well that it's a possibility and frankly don't care all that much .... but it definitely would be a plus if the paint doesn't rub off over time. (I assume it's painted anyways ... maybe not. That would be super cool if its not)

DHL is the best option when ordering from Health Cabin right now. They have had major problems with EMS returning their shipments, and that's where people are having problems. Glad you like yours.
Its fun tracking with DHL. Mine has gone from Hong Kong to Korea and has left Korea. I'm hoping the next stop will be here.

It's plated, normally this stuff scratches pretty easily but the price is great - it's a great mod and will be massively popular so expect to see about 20 different clone versions.

Hi Bill, Have you had a chance to check how close the Vamo comes to the advertised 5amps?

I've checked the original VMax and it's weird in how it reacts to putting a full load on it but it finally came close to 4amps. On the ZMax with a single IMR 18650 it could only get to 3.13amp using a 1.5ohm DC carto. When I put in two AW IMR 18350 it could handle 4.8amps with the same carto. Am guessing the Vamo will be about the same.

I've had my Vamo for a week, and so far, I give it higher marks overall than any other APV I own, and I have a ton of them: ProVari, BuzzPro, iPro, Vmax, Acrylimax (like a Zmax), four Young-June Vtubes, two Kicks (Omega and Bolt), five Twists, many VV boxes (14 in all, including a fantastic Altoids tin mod by Caged that uses two 18650s). In fairness, I like all my APVs, but the Vamo has currently taken over the top spot on the list.

Criticisms? The center pin inside the tube (where the battery top makes connection) is slightly off-centered on my particular unit. Materials used production quality may not be quite up to the "industrial strength" standard of the ProVari---I can't speak to the durability/longevity question, because it's new. And yes, the Vamo has that faux eGo top assembly with a drip well but no outer eGo threading (meaning that Kanger T2/T3s require an eGo-to-510 adapter). So, no, it's not perfect. But the list of positives is impressive:

• solid, feels good in the hand
• hefty weight, with no battery or switch rattling
• high-res display that's bright and easy to read
• intelligent design, with no funky menu dance to change settings/parameters
• displays atty/carto/clearo resistance by simply holding down the + button for 3 seconds
• displays remaining battery voltage by simply holding down the – button for 3 seconds
• dual mode operation---variable voltage (VV) or variable power/wattage (VW)
• dual calibration setting---Vavg or Vrms (accuracy in Vrms is as good as ProVari for volts and Kicks for watts)
• 5-amp limit provides ample headroom
• three different battery configurations without having to buy any additional extensions or caps.
​

All that for $50??? (now on pre-order from OKCvapes.com)

What more do you want?

Based on the test done here: Akkuträger VAMO VV/VW (aka Telescopic VV XSTAR) » Mountain Prophet Amp limit should be fine. While he did not test how high the amp limit went, with stacked 18350s his own tests went to 4.3.

From what I can tell, he basically said anything over what he tested became rather unvapable (ie .. too hot and/or bad taste). So I'm thinking it will probably push 5 amps as advertised, if not REALLY close.

 

[Errol]

Couldn't read the language but some pretty impressive testing from what I could understand. As long as the unit handles at least 4amp I will be happy. There have been way too many units advertise at 4amps and above that have turned out to be far short of their claims, the Gripper being my biggest disappointment.

You can translate it (sorry I didnt provide that link). I've been using Chrome lately and it just pops up and asks if you want it translated.

Thanks anyway, the numbers were all I needed to satisfy my curiosity.

Hi Errol,

These days I pretty much ignore all claims of high amp limits. It's become a non-issue for me, since I never vape at anything higher than 5 volts anyway, and I don't use dual coil cartos anymore. In the German test, the numbers for the Vamo looked good, and I've had no trouble with mine at all (I use it in RMS Watts mode). With any single coil device from 1.6 to 3.0 ohms, it gives me all the vaping power I'd ever need with ample headroom.

In single-18350 mode the Vamo is fairly compact (103mm tall). Efficiency is also high, so that battery life with an 18350 is reasonable (almost as long as my 18500 Kicked mods). ProVari still wins the industrial-strength build quality award, but the Vamo is my favorite of all the Chinese tubes so far.

The Vamo sure appears to be a big game changer... it seems to be as stable as the ProVari and the ZMax at a fraction of the cost. I've had mine for 2 weeks and so far have had no complaints. The thing works as advertised, now we just have to wait and see how long it lasts.
If it holds up to the time test... I think the other more expensive APV's will need to make a huge price drop to keep up with the new kid in town. LOL

Hey whats up guys, I've been looking at the Vamo for quite some time myself and decided to order one as well. I placed an order for one yesterday from here: https://vaporbank.com/shop/index.php?p=product&id=884 for $46.99 (they still have some in stock right now) These guys have great customer service so far. After I had already decided to buy one, I was just being too lazy to actually place the order and put it off for about 1 1/2 days and by the time I WANTED to actually place the order they were sold out. The website said that they would have them back in stock in 3-5 days, so I sent them an email requesting to email me the min they had them restocked. Well, they didn't email me back right away so I decided to just keep up with the site several times on a daily basis until they restocked. As soon as they had them back in I placed my order. About an hour later, I received an email from the vendor apologizing that they hadn't email me back in time (said they've had a really hectic week, which I totally understand), and since I placed my order before they email me, they decided to upgrade my shipping free of charge, AND they said they've included a few other surprises in my package! SO EXCITED NOW! lol I was REALLY happy about the way they handled that! So long story short, they have them here in stock RIGHT NOW without any waiting list and have great customer service.

PS: Their website says they've already sold 20% of their restock in less than a day. So if you do want one, you might want to act fast... This is also the revised Vamo with metal buttons!

Just bought a itaste MVP but I'm thinking of ordering one of these. I also see that Zainy.net (China) carries these with the optional "Black Buttons". I'm curious if these are solid black color plastic buttons that won't fade or if they are rubber. Anyone got any ideas?
