Vamo v5 experiences

[Tutterz]

Owned a Vamo V5 for close to 4 months now, I do enjoy it and don't regret buying it. Definitely hits hard too, it's handy being able to change the voltage or find a nice wattage setting you like if you're using non-rebuildable tanks and atties.

Ay up ducks
Been cancer stick free for 12 months now, mostly using standard Ego batteries (and the Sunday market knock offs) with a vivi Nova

Gave myself a pat on the back yesterday when my students and I worked out how much I have saved.

Now I have saved so much I feel like treating myself to some decent kit. Was thinking of the Vamo

can people please give their feedback on the Vamo V5. I liked the sound of it from the reviews but I a couple of threads reported a few probs.

any feedback on this mod, the Itaste 30 and protank would be appreciated.

do yourself a favour mate get yourself an innokin from myepack an svd if you want a tube mod and Mvp 2 is a bulletproof box mod and dont need to faff about wih extra batteries as the battery is self contained and will last at least a day and a half if not longer

Can't recommend the Vamo V5 enough!

It's taken pretty much everything i've thrown at it from CE5's, to Protanks and RBA's

Sure it doesn't take sub ohm coils or anything lower than 1.3ohms but if you are just starting out and wanting to venture into a larger piece of kit its a perfect choice.
Nasty Boy - The V5 top cap is pressure fitted and so if the tank is knocked at all it can get pulled out. you only need to apply some pressure to straighten it up, usually happens if you knock it or sit down with it in your trouser pocket, but I find it doesn't happen enough to worry about

I got mine from

I would advise getting a Stainless Steel one as the gunmetal effect wears off over time, you can always wrap it (see http://www.jwraps.com/category_s/1820.htm)

I've never had any airflow issues with protanks, probably because I fit the "beauty ring" that comes with the protank as well as the Vamo ring. this stops over tightening and also gives a solid base for your tanks. I also build my own attys which is alot cheaper. Flooding only usually happen with the protanks if the atty is not screwed down properly or ther is not enough wicking material in the atty

Tanks I use with it are:

Protanks 1,2,3
Hypertank (seriously underated and tanks protank heads)
Kamry X10 (not as good as the Protank)
Aga T2 (my bitch of a project)
Smok RSST

even the CE5's work ok on the Vamo

also one more thing I find is that different juices taste better at different Voltages/Watts, some are happy to run at 10W others burn at 8W some taste the best at 6W

Everyone is different, check out youtube reviews from Pbusardo, Grimm Green and Todd, they are often right i find

The V5 is a super, good value, little (well, not so little!) gadget, that works. It's durability is reflected in it's price, and that should be considered, and the device treated with the care the 'stripey label value' suggests.
It's VV and VW capabilities give you the ability to fiff and faff about as much,or as little, as you like. I'm very non-fiff-faff, and just played about a bit to get a wattage setting that suited me, and I've left it on that setting ever since,regardless of attie or juice. As many folks say, the threads are not that robust, but pre warned is pre armed and if you are a smidgin gentle and screw your atties in only to the point of bite then the threads won't be an issue. I'm a fairly heavy vaper, and use the vamo only with 18350's and get through three batteries a day, so spare batteries are a must with this device. (18650's last well over a day, I just don't like vaping a giant 8" e-cig)

The V5 was a great beginners regulated mod but there has been times were I have accidently bumped up the wattage and burned a coil. The v5 buttons tend to stick out enough to allow that to happen. My wife uses it now and she did the same thing by having it in her purse. An Innokin or ProVari or SvoëMesto might be a better choice if your dead set on buying a regulated mod. They last longer, build quality is better and they are warrantied. My SVD and itaste V3 have een very good to me. But my wife is looking at another mod and were pondering over the Semivore or ProVari.

I have one and cant fault it for the price, invest in a stainless steel one as the threads last longer ( as advised by members on here ) buy some quality batterys and charger and you wont look back!!

I'd go for an innokin device from myepack as they are pretty bulletproof bits of kit.

I've got both the MVP and v5. Can't fault the iTaste; good threads, solid. The v5 is much better looking and the ability to swap batteries is great. The V5 is my go to, versatile and runs all the batteries, more potential in terms of higher power settings.


The itaste MVP is great too, and well built, but against a "good" vamo, not an easy choice.

Thing with vaping is that whatever you buy won't be the best. There's always someone telling you there's something better.

You can't really lose, but for my money the SlowTack V5 SS is great value; even if you get a year from it.
