I just looked at the V3 as well. It's hidious!8-o
I think the Vamo v2 is a heck of a buy ($40 bucks at many places).
Edit: Just looked at the v3 and can only conclude the designer has sustained a recent head injury...
I swear, this whole forum has drank the Vamo Kool-Aid. You should really check out the Sigelei Zmax. To me, it is more solidly built, a bit smaller, and is telescopic, so it takes 18500 batteries too.
For those that may still be interested, I went with a Sigelei because Electronic Stix has them on sale right now for $75...TOTALLY LOVIN' IT!!
Personally, I'd go with a Provari. Tasteyourjuice.com did a review on both the Tesla and Vamo. Check them both out. He also did one on the Provari.
I think I'd be doing you an injustice if I didn't mention that if something happens to any of the above mentioned devices they are not really repairable. The Provari has a year warranty and you can purchase a second year. Even if it's out of warranty, Provape will repair it for a nominal cost. My Vamo is on it's last leg. My Provaris are perfect.
