Conneazoo Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Well, I just pulled the trigger on a VAMO V5 and can't wait for it to arrive! It was between this and the Innokin SVD. It came down to research. Between videos and a lot of reading, it seems that the VAMO will be better for me. My Vision spinner will remain, but I'm still stoked! Mtdobies 1
fishguy1123 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Both are considered good. You should enjoy it. What charger and batts did you get? Mtdobies and Conneazoo 2
Conneazoo Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 I got a Trustfire dual charger, 2 Trustfire 900 mAh 18350s, and a 2500 mAh 18650. All batts are flat top.
fishguy1123 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 It you decide to "stack" the 18350's please read up on the safety aspect of it! The 18650 should be fine, however now that you are about to be useing them you should know that not all batts are the same when it comes to quality and safety. Search the forum and you will find what others feel are good, safe, and reliable. Conneazoo and Mtdobies 2
Conneazoo Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 I appreciate it fish. I am an aviation electrician and spent some time working in a battery locker while I was in the service. Mostly, dealt with lead acid and NiCad batts. Battery safety is nothing to mess around with. I'm sure that anyone who has witnessed a runaway will certainly attest to this. I think a lot of people take batteries for granted. Thanks again! Mtdobies 1
fishguy1123 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Good to hear! We try to focus on safety. Have a look around and let us know if we can help. Lot's of good ppl and info here! Conneazoo 1
Mtdobies Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 @ Conneazoo„ thanks for you time in the service! Conneazoo 1
Conneazoo Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 So I've had the VAMO for three days now. I have to admit that this thing is kickin' like Jackie Chan! Nice build quality. Good clicky buttons, (I had to get used to the huge click on the fire button) easy to navigate the menus, and a better vape for me than my Vision. I have realized that I really don't care for 18350 batteries. Perhaps it's just the mAh rating, but I'll be stocking some good 18650's. I've also found that I prefer the power setting over the voltage setting. I seems to give me a more consistent vape throughout the battery life. 10W seems to be the spot!!
mvince201 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 That's funny because I currently use the vision spinner as well, and also have a Vamo V5 otw. We're twinkies! Conneazoo 1
Conneazoo Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 LOL! I think you'll dig it. I started my settings low and worked up to what was right for me. However, I neglected to mention that my main vape juice is what I set at 10W. Those are a tobacco flavor and a fireball candy flavor. If I'm chugging on something fruity I set it in the 8.5 to 9W range. My Spinner has been good to me. I shall keep it! LOL! Post on how you like the VAMO when you get it.
mvince201 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Will do! I really only bought it because I got a hell of a deal on it. I wasn't even really ready to get into modding but it will be there when I get everything figured out! I really like my spinners but I feel the quality is sub-par. They seem to be very easily broken, Conneazoo 1
raiderep Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I got a vamo v5 a week or so ago and am ready to drop analogs altogether soon. With a pro tank 3 it is so smooth and tasty! Mmmm chocolate vapes... Edit: been using it with only one 18350 and it works great so far Edited May 1, 2014 by raiderep Mtdobies 1
raiderep Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Chocolate??? You have chocolate, from where??? A local shop here has a guy in LA that makes his juice for him. Good stuff, not sure on the name though I'm at school right now. Mtdobies 1
mvince201 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Chocolate??? You have chocolate, from where??? I have chocolate from BeeLiquid and It's pretty good.http://www.beeliquid.com/Coffee-and-Chocolate-Flavors_c_11.html Mtdobies 1
fishguy1123 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 As far as the vamo v5 and vision spinner go, both have alot of good feedback and are used by many. Mvince, can you tell us what happened with your spinners that cause you to think they break easily? I've heard many say they hold up well. Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks
mvince201 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 As far as the vamo v5 and vision spinner go, both have alot of good feedback and are used by many. Mvince, can you tell us what happened with your spinners that cause you to think they break easily? I've heard many say they hold up well. Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks First off when I received my first one, I had to send it back because the contact point was not functioning properly. (would only make connection some of the time). When I received my replacement I noticed that the internals of the device were very loose and would move around with even the slightest shake, I brushed this off as I am not rough with my devices. I bought two more of the batteries, one of which had the same loose internal problem. One of my batteries also sometimes doesn't like to charge correctly. From time to time I will put it on the charger (knowing that it is dead or close to it) and it will charge for about 5 minutes before going green. I then have to detach my battery and reattach to resume charging. I have used 4-5 different chargers and had the same problem. Overall I am satisfied with the performance of the battery, I just think the physical quality could be a bit better.
mvince201 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah, I also noticed one of them would get hot at the bottom near the voltage dial when firing. I assume this was caused by the loose internals grounding to the case as it only does it once in a while. Edited May 1, 2014 by mvince201
regal Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I have a VTR and am considering a Vamo V5 for work. The ability to shorten and use the half sized batteries is appealing, but my concern is the exposed glass tank. I would be afraid of breaking it. With the VTR the tank is somewhat protected, but its also heavy to lug around. Edited May 1, 2014 by regal
mvince201 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 One of my spinners rolled of my desk today (about 2.5 feet) onto my carpet floor. Will not fire anymore. As much as people like them I don't think I'll be buying another one of these.
mvince201 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 That didn't take much to break did it. Sure didn't. Not sure if you read my previous post about them, but the overall quality of these things is just not good in my opinion.
Mtdobies Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Ya, that's a bummer.I only have my Vtr and a vv/vw2 so I Dont know anything about the spinners. Some love them, must be just your luck..2.5 ft onto carpet I've.dropped my vv2 lots farther then that into cement and it keeps on going..
