Honestly if you have the money don't waste your time get a Provari
But if not it all comes down to the most reliable of the two.
I pretty much gave my son my svd, after about a month he has issues
With his foring button, it still works but it no longer has that click it seems
like its pressed down in there.
Provari one year standard warranty, excellent customer service.
they stand behind their stuff

I have both a Vamo and SVD. The SVD is heavy and huge-even using the small 18350 battery. I like the SVD better though. Seems to perform more consistently. Neither pv are super durable though. I am on my 2nd one of each pv. They just don't hold up to drops. The SVD button is also quirky on mine. I ordered my 2nd one because the first one doesn't fire everytime the button is pushed. I keep having to repush several times to get it to fire. Not sure if its because I dropped it or not.
I have a few provaris and am used to that level of durability. Neither the SVDs or Vamos come close to a provari in quality and performance but they are cheap and enjoyable to use. I wouldn't feel safe if either of them were my only device though. As a backup they are okay devices. the SVD is really cool looking too.

Regarding the OP's first question, I was on the fence about getting a VAMO or SVD when I bought my first mod. I picked the VAMO since it has been reviewed a lot, and most issues have been discovered and fixed. Price point is also a nice thing, from $30 to $50. Doesn't telescope like the SVD, but I only run mine in 18650 mode. Has all the options I wanted also, and I like the ease of use of the buttons, with no wait between clicking them.
I've got both too. They both vape well, have similar features, the only difference for me is the look.
I've got the provari, the zmax, and 2 vamo. I have been debating on the svd but think I will get another vamo since I'm preparing for the apocalypse and its been my go to battery. If you have the money get the provari but also get the vamo. The only way I will buy another provari is if they get vw.
vamo has been good fast teck $58 SS with nightlight charger 2 Panasonic 18650 batts
I could not ask for anything more for the money
If I had the money the choice would be provari or Reo

I couldn't decide so I got both. Can't tell you which is better. I just use the vamo. Gave my son my vamo v2 and missed it so bad I ordered the v3 and a svd. My v2 still working great for him.
I have them both also. I like the SVD better only because of all the battery options. They are both good devices for the money they are. I'd say you can't go wrong with either.
If you have the funds to spend on a provari like everyone else says...go for it! Superior to both.

I have a Zmax and 2 V2 Vamos. I feel the Zmax has better electronics, nicer display and since it telescopes, I can use my three different battery types in it, but since I switch around wattages quite often, the Vamo's are easier to use. The Vamos are also cheaper (Fast Tech). Have an SVD enroute, so not sure on that yet.
Vamo I have know two people that had the buttons either pop off or stop working. I still have my vamo even though I have a Provari and a Zmax V3 telescoping. Now if you want something tougher than a Vamo think about the Zmax. It will use any battery between 18350 to 18650 or even 2 18350's. Mine is SS and tough. The Vamo is easy to set up and check battery voltage or ohms. The Zmax works better with the most atty's and is a bit tougher but not as easy to check ohms. The SVD is just not built tough enough.
I think the buttons stopping working happens sooner or later in all mods. I have a Zmax telescope that started working erratically and a Smoktech Gripper that stopped reading resistances. Seems like every 4 months I need a new mod and that frightens me. Thankfully there's Fasttech.
I have had an SVD for a month or so, and I don't own a Vamo. I suggest both are great choices.
I just purchased the Innokin iTaste SVD from FastTech and couldn't be happier with my purchase. $37.21 which included international shipping which arrived in 11 days. Being a telescopic mod it allows for various battery types so I just used the 18490's I use in my provari. I'm vaping it right now and it is an excellent unit. The unit I ordered did 'not' come with batteries or charger so if you already have them it is certainly worth consideration imho.
I would've said Vamo two weeks ago, but the simple facts that the SVD really, truly does look like a lightsaber, and the buttons lock, was enough for me.
I'm in the camp that truly doesn't care how big a device can be. I like my tube mods and I like them as lightsabers.

I love my Vamo, quick and easy to check volts, ohms, and switch between VV or VW, (not that do that much) and it's more than durable enough for me. I have a K100 to carry around and beat the snot out of while I work. I just don't treat my Vamo like it's a Crafstman tool, and I have no problems 
What happened? Did you drop it a bunch a times? Mine has been working fine with no worries for about a month.
Only weird thing to happen lately was a slotted boge carto in a tank. It read 2.9 ohm's , then after some use it was reading 4.3 ohm's. Put it on an ohm meter and was reading the same (so wasn't the vamo giving false info). This morning I noticed this carto tank was leaking heavily on the battery. It was a free one from surevapes with an order of punched carto's.
Hence, not digging the slotted carto.....
