I've had a Vamo V3 for the past three months. Works great and use it every day. I also have two egos but want another VV mod that is a little more durable than the Vamo.

The + button on the vamo works but is stuck in, you can't feel it click. So if you barely touch it, it jumps the voltage up.

I'd like to spend $50-75 on a durable VV mod that can take 18650's and 18340's. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Had the Vamo v2 for six months and then had the same issue with both the + & - buttons working but not clicking, so I got the innokin SVD. It feels more solid than the Vamo, and the small buttons seem more durable. It's a bit bigger though, and mine has some minor issues when battery voltage drops below 3.6v (it won't vape well on resistances below 1.7ohm)

MVP2 or the Sigelei Zmax, the latter I reallly loved. I do not have an MPV2 but everyone else seems to love them.\\

Here is sigelei zmax V3 in my hand *female*: takes 18350s, 18490s, and 18650s, has both Ego and 510 connector, is telescoping, etc.
It's got one button 8 menu system (similar to provari in this way with the one button) and you can turn it off. :)

Otherwise, save your $$ for a provari or a REO, that is my "default" advice. :)

I second the SS Segelei Zmax. It's built like a tank and vapes well. Like the Provari, the fire button switch can be flaky at times and bounce when you press it. I find that a flat press instead of pressure on one end more than the other makes it fire more reliably. I bought it for a backup and found it to be a main vape. It's 3/4" longer than the Provari when extended out to 18650 mode. It's threaded to allow it to unscrew and accept most button type or flat top batteries and works in VV and VW mode.

It's definitely something you should consider. I paid $74.99 for mine in a brick an mortar store, but others have bought it for much less.

Well I just ordered a sigelei zmax v3 telecopic. After a couple months of keeping up on vv mods for under 60.00. The 510 threads are stainless steel... This is a Huge benefit! The threads should out live the mod for sure. I stripped 2 plated brass 510 mods in 3 months with a stainless rba. It can be found for 45-60
