I've had issues with the center pin getting pushed down too far in my SVD, so as long as I'm careful on that, it's a nice APV. I like the lock feature for the settings.
The MVP v2 has been a good back up APV for me as well. I keep this one at work because it works on the same charger connection as my phone.

I can promise you that you will add a wrap or two to your coils
Then use what you already have for your other stuff.

Im happy with the SVD buttons are a tad bit off compared to the Vamo took about 4 days to get used to kept pushing the screen...
The vamo v2 was my first love, my first apv after using the egos for a few months. I like the ease of checking resistance, adjusting voltage, etc with the 3 button layout. Given a choice, I would still get it and jam an air flow controller on it. Not that I need it now as mine is still alive and kicking after more than half a year.
I ended up picking up an itaste vtr...goes up to 15 watts with a 5 amp limit. Works really well. Also got a new (3rd) IgoL haha, drilled out the air hole to 2mm and built a 1.7ohm micro coil on it...it's hitting like a beast! I might look into a smoktech magneto in a couple of months for my builds and use the vtr for tanks.

Looks pretty good and not a bad price either. Does the brass tarnish over time?
I picked up a VTR and it hits like a beast. Thank you very much! I tried it with a kayfun clone at the shop and that sold me. Plus the fact that if I build a coil and it accidentally is under 1.2 ohms, it will still fire. Very nice.
Love my Vamo don't want to give it up.
I was having the same problem with my Vamo after a year of working great just so happened the O-ring under the pin broke put another in a week ago and now OK.
Might want to try cheap fix it just might work out; goto home depot
#60 1/4 OD X 1/8 ID X 1/16 Danco part # 96774
It might be a fix?
If you do try it and it works out OK; PM me and let me know so I can put it in my bag of tricks.

I love the vamo too, it hits like Mike Tyson in hit prime. I don't know if that trick would work, is it an o ring or a threaded connection? My threads are shot, I can slide an igoL in there without even twisting it down, a little plumbers tape kept it working for the last week though hahaha
Sigelei Zmax is pretty solid, I would avoid the Smoktech version though. I got the V2 before they came out with the telescope and it still rocks almost a year later. The telescope is even better, I think I'll pick up a telescope if the V2 ever decides to quit. I also have the Mini Sig, its been rocking for about 8 months.
Innokin makes some good stuff also, really can't go wrong with Innoking or the Sig Zmax.
Thanks for the reply, some really good info. I looked at the z max and was set to buy it when I left the house but after talking to my friends at my local vape shop, they showed me the itaste vtr and couldn't resist it. It has the ability to use your own batteries although it cannot be stealth moded with an 18350 but I can use 2 of them haha. The vtr also goes up to 15 watts/6 volts and has a 5 amp limit. When I build coils I aim for a 1.2 to 1.5 ohm coil but sometimes fall short and have to back off my screws and tinker around with it, the vtr can fire sub ohms so that really sold me on it. So far, so good!
About the lava tube, there was a version 2.5 of it around last fall (I think), dont know about future versions though. My friend had one and he loved that thing too.
I cant believe there arent more Provari or Reo suggestions here. Seriously, I LOVE my Evic after a long time of use, its my go to VV device and i stepped to it from a Vamo
I couldn't say might be I was lucky all I can say is when I changed the O-ring it screws in.
If this isn't my problem and I'm going to drill a small hole in the 510 connect just before the pin and intert a piece of thin wire through the hole and twist cut and tuck in the well it should take up any slack in the connect and make it last a little more. I have no complaints with I got over a year out of the bad boy.
I'll order another one soon it's that good I want a V5 anyway and for the price why get something else.

Didn't hold up so I came up with a new idea I think will work.
This is what I did. You can PM me to find out how it's holding up if don't make any post on it again.
I drilled a small hole through the wall of 510 connecter from inside out just above pin not close enough to damage O-RING took a small wire I USED A ONE OF THOSE TWIST TIE PACKS YOU GET WITH A LOAF OF BREAD clean the plastic off and THREAD THROUGH THE HOLE TWIST ENDS TOGETTHER CUT AND TUCK ANY EXTRA WIRE IN THE WELL.
All my tanks are nice and tight; if I have to replace the wire it will take two min. going on 24 hours holding up.
It may not last for ever but quick fix and backup
1st Update
The wire broke after 34 hours of use just finished re-wiring it again maybe with better quality wire it will last a little longer. For now this is a temp fix
I gave this it's own thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/519859-tempory-thread-fix-vamo.html

I have an evic and moved to a vamo, the evic didn't give me enough wattage. I still use it once in a while with a few different tanks. I picked up a VTR but after about a week not too sure about it?
