So looks like I've found a new obsession and that obsession is building my own box mods. So with that said I'm looking for a vv board. Not wanting the dna board just yet seeing how this will be my first vv mod. Looking for something on the cheaper side to get the ball rolling

Saw the zmax board on the madvapes website, what are your opinions on that board? Also just looking for other cheaper board options

About the Vamo V5 pcb, is there a way to move the buttons or would I need to design my mod around the current placement of buttons on the board?

There are 4 holes next to the + - buttons but I'm fairly sure they are not for the buttons. Best bet is probably a fine point soldering iron, and just tack wires to the board where the built in switches are. The pads are mighty small though. If you are new to soldering, you will want to practice on a junk board of some kind first.

The only Vamo box I made, I kept the + - buttons for that reason, and just moved the fire button. It's a bit bigger/easier. I like having those buttons next to the screen anyway, so it worked out for me.
It's too bad the Groove pcbs aren't around anymore. They had the fire button already separated from the board.

Yes, you can move all of the buttons. :) -Just solder wires from the Vamo button terminals to your tactile switches. My Vamo V5 box cost like $30 to build and it works excellent.
