Variable Voltage Mod That's Smaller Than A Police Baton?

[yzer]

Yup. It basically turns a mechanical mod into a variable wattage device. I believe it also provides some battery protections if I'm not mistaken; the Kick 2 just came out recently.

The disadvantage with the Kick: you must remove the battery and the Kick every time you want to adjust voltage.

I think it's great if people very new to vaping want to go straight for a ProVari Mini or a ZMax mini, but it isn't all that necessary IMO.

You can use a $14 Joyetech eGo-T Upgrade variable voltage battery and get similar vaping experience depending on your juice vessel. An eGo Twist, Vision Spinner VV, etc. The one thing my buddy set my first kit up with was all VV devices, and it really did come in handy when I decided to put other tanks on the eGos.

I have used the VAMO and Zmax for a few hours each, they are nice. But is the vape that much better when using an EVOD bcc compared to my eGo vv batteries? No. With a Protank? No, not really IMO. With a carto tank, hell yes. Does the ProVari or ZMAX or whatever give you more options? Sure. Does it guarantee a better vape over the day, probably.

The way I see it is that I'd rather get a itaste MVP, two eGo Twists, three bottles of juice and two protanks for the money I'd spend on a ProVari mini. At least now. Once I have all this stuff figured out and I'll likely get a Provari Mini, just don't see the need right now. That's me though. Point is that people can find smaller vv devices that do the trick and be economical about it. There is so much information to digest when it comes to vaping and people get scared off of it a little I think.

Here's a couple size comparison pics of my Vamo v3. I was pleasantly surprised with the size. Watching all the reviews, I thought it would be much thicker. Maybe everyone just has small hands. hehe.
As for length, it's 4.25" with an 18350 batt. You can get extensions and double stack 18650's which would make it HUGE, Or any combination in between. I like it with just the singlw 18350. It fits my hand very well.

Here's a side by side with an 800mah ego style battery. Notice the penny under the ego. The Vamo is less than twice the diameter.

I didn't realize the Vamo had a "short" setting - on the older versions, I didn't think the second seam threaded off, so I didn't bother looking at the new one. The price point on it is a lot friendlier than the other mods I was considering. 4in - 4.5in was my sweet spot, so that fits the bill quite nicely.

Are the ones from Fasttech genuine? Or should I look elsewhere? (the prices on fasttech seem to be too good to be true)

I'm pretty sure the V2s work in short mode.

There's no such thing as a fake Vamo so the ones at FastTech are as genuine as any. They are also good.

I'm weary about buying stuff other than disposables from FT. IDK, just something about it. I picked mine up from MVS
VAMO V3 MOD APV Variable Voltage Variable Wattage
With 2 efest 18350's and the cheap charger for like $75.
It came with one more small extension, so I could run 2 18350's, or a single 18650. I chose the 18350's for the size, and so I can always have a spare charged.
