I got it in February as a present to myself and love it. I use vivi novas, mini novas, t2's and t3's on it (the t2's and t3's require a 510/ego adapter) and love the variable wattage feature since my atomizer heads are all different ohms. It's set and forget. I got a black carbon fiber wrap for it from jwraps.com and it looks sweet. Desertvapes.com is my 'goto' for vaping gear because they're semi-local to me and have awesome customer service. When I 1st started vaping I drove out (50+ miles, I didn't realize he was THAT far from me, hehe) to do a local pickup from him and he stood out in a parking lot in the middle of the summer (in Arizona that means the temperature was around 115f) and he spent over an hour answering a ton of my noob questions. Since getting the vamo I haven't used any of my egos or my lavatube.

I like the wrap you have on that....I ordered a similar black carbon fiber wrap from a place in the UK the other day and am waiting for it to arrive. It's the only place I could find that had pieces to wrap the entire thing, including the very top section.

This one doesn't wrap the very top or the battery screw on/off thing. The thing I wish I had thought of before i wrapped it was making sure the main body and the 18650 tube (?) started and stopped at the same point. When it's in 18650 mode the edge of the wrap isn't quite seamless. I know i'm doing a horrible job explaining what I mean but it's the best I can do.... It looks good and noone but me will ever know but the main body seam and the tube seam are 'off' by less than 1/4"...

That said, I love it. I have the same jwrap on my yj lavatube.

The "best" place is whoever has stainless with the updated brass spring in stock for cheap ;)

Stainless body = more resilient and scratches don't show like the chrome and gunmetal, the updated brass spring is to replace a weak stainless spring that got hot and let the batteries jiggle.

I got my stainless version from discountvapers.com
