IMHO, get either the Sigelei (Telescopic) ZMAX v3/v5 or the iTaste SVD. Both can take 18350, 18500, 18650 batteries. As for chargers, get a 4 bay NiteCore or Xtar.

I have both these mods and chargers and they're good bang for the buck.

^^ This. As was also mentioned, aesthetics will play a part. Of these two, the ZMax is sleek and smooth while the SVD is a steampunk lightsaber. Both are great and, for my money, a tick above the vamo. The SID I could go either way, but it narrowly gets beaten by the ZMAx and SVD.

I noticed the Sigelei (Telescopic) ZMAX v5 looks like it only has one button compared to the Vamo 5 has 3 buttons... is that a big deal?
I defiantly like the looks on the Sigelei ZMAX v5 the best! What website would you recommend to buy from price wise?

Thank you all for the help!

I take it you haven't owned a lavatube?

I can't speak for the v1's but the v2's are a POS. I got 4 replacements under warranty and they all broke in roughly 3 months.

yeah i got a lavatube, I got 2 of them, the plastic window fell off i just put some tape over it it works fine i dropped it several times once on concrete and the bugger keeps truckin

Between the Sigelei and SMOKtech Zmax, the Sigelei is a way better build. The Sigelei uses a thick, nice stainless steel, and the threads are very smooth.. the build quality is leagues above the Smok. Also, the OLED screen is really nice, makes it so you know exactly where you are in the menu at a glance instead of trying to figure out a two letter code...

I do not see the Itaste MVP2 on your list... and that is a fantastic mod at a fantastic pricepoint... well worth your consideration. But if you can't handle the box mod, or the non replaceable batteries, I totally understand.

I have the Sigelei , and couldn't ba any happier... Maxes out at 15W, takes 650 or 350, and is an all around solid performer.

I use the telescoping smok zmax and have soley for 6 months. First non KGO PV I had since i used BLU 4 years ago without success. Still works as good as day 1. The screen isnt as cool and colorful as sigeli, but i can say it has been dropped of a roof onto concrete and my my zmax took it in stride. Only thing i could tell was some slight indented scratches on the end cap, where the plastic of the CE4 clero that was on it shattered on impact. But like i said, i never had a sigeli so i cant say if the results would have been the same.

If you are considering the Vamo V5 you should check out my review! Happy Vaping!

Vamo V5 VV/VW Ecig Review - YouTube

Awesome review, man! I have both the Ego and Vamo v5 shipping as we speak. The Ego should be here next week but I was wondering how quick Fasttech shipped... guess I could be waiting a while.

I have a SiD and personally I like it. I like the single button setup and the menu functions. I know that if you start getting into rebuilding toppers it can handle 1.3 ohms (found that out today). It is a bit long since it takes the 18650, but you can buy a short tube for it for about $9 to fit it with an 18350 if you want a little smaller form. Handles 3.0-6.0 volts and 3.0-15.0 watts. My only negative thing (very very minor) is it is a pulse fire, so there is a bit of a rattlesnake sound but honestly it doesn't bother me at all. I'm happy with it and will probably move up to a mechanical and /or provari eventually but for now I think it's a solid setup.
