The Vamo Electronic Vapor Cigarette Mod

The Vamo as mentioned in the introduction is a very versatile variable voltage, variable wattage / power electronic cigarette. Very affordable too compared to other mods in this league.

Other similar vapour cigarettes are more than twice its price and more complex to work with.
Where the Vamo wins is in its simplicity. 3 buttons in all to allow for far more logical operation of the standard settings that many people will use.

The Vamo

2 small buttons that are used to increase or decrease the voltage.In the meantime when you press and hold each of them, will give you a different reading.
Press and hold the right button for 3 seconds as you are looking at the screen which will give you the atomizer resistance. Very handy when you are re-wicking or rebuilding your own atomizers.
Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds and you will get a reading indicating how much power is left in the battery before it needs recharging.
Press and hold the 2 small buttons together for again 3 seconds and you can switch the device from variable volatge to variable wattage / power
Can't be any simpler for such an advanced device.

The large button is used for your usual vaping and also to switch the device on/off through 5 click function.

Other devices in its league (well to me at least) are more complex and more tedious to work with such as the Vmax, Zmax and the much more expensive Provari which is way out of my budget. I personally cannot see myself paying over $200 for a vapour cigarette where others are far less. Yes, the Provari is very well made no doubt about it, functionality to me is a bit of a let down specially after the introduction of the Vamo. Why you may ask? I will explain.

The Zmax, Vmax and Provari all work with one button that does all the functions which means that you will be forever pressing the button on average about 7 or 8 times to just change a setting like voltage up by one notch or down.
First you have to press the button 3 times to get into the menu, then another time to reach the particular menu you want. So say you want to change power. 3 times to get to the menu, 3 times to get to the 4th menu then another few times to change the voltage up or down. Each press on the voltage menu will increase the voltage by 0.1v at a time. So if you want to increase the voltage by 0.1, you will have to press the button a further 4 times to reach it. You can do the maths and see what i mean.

The Zmax has i think around 8 menus while the Vmax has 6.
As opposed to the Vamo, all you have to do is press the small button and with each click you will increase the voltage by 0.1v or 0.5w at a time.

The Vamo has a 510 fitting which as many of you know will fit a host of atomizers such as a native 510, eGo, eGo-T, eGo-C, Vision eternity, Venus eternity, Cobra, Genesis, CE4, CE5, the list goes on and on.
It also has a deep drip well to catch any leakage that comes off some atomizers, cartomizers, etc...

Another big adavantage of the Vamo is you can configure it to 2 sizes. A standar size at 135mm and shorter version at 105mm.
At the standard size you can use the Vamo with 1x 18650 battery or 2x 18350. On the shorter version you can use 1x 18350 batteries. Another advantage that no other Mod will offer currently on the market today. I must admit the Vamo is a heavy piece of equipment but you will soon get used to it.

Vamo short version

The Vamo also works very well with the Vision or Venus eternity which are rebuildable atomizers. The fact that the Vamo has the facility to detect atomizer resistance which means you can build the atomizer and test the resistance and make changes before you finish the atomizer off.

The Vamo allows the user to alternate methods used internally to calculate the voltage output. The default and recommended setting is RMS. RMS provides a more accurate voltage output. The Vamo may also run in Average (or Mean) mode. Average mode may result in output voltages than displayed. To switch modes, hold either the power up or power down button for 10 seconds. The display screen will display N01 for AVG mode or N02 for RMS mode. To change the mode, release the adjustment button then press and hold for an additional 10 seconds to change to the alternate mode.

The downside of the Vamo i'ld say is its size. It is not a small item and neither it is light to carry around but soon you get used to it and makes an ego 900mAh ecig feel like  feather in your hand.

In conclusion i personally think the Vamo is excellent value for money given the facilities it offers and the 2 variety of sizes.

Vape on!

A standard Vamo kit comes with the device itself, 2x 18350 batteries and a twin charger that will charge either 2x 18650 or 2x 18350 batteries or a combination of both. Great value for money.
The Vamo is available at quite a few websites including vapourettes.com

Venus eternity rebuildable atomizer.

Venus Eternity rebuildable atomizer. (Also known as Vision eternity).

The Venus eternity is a rebuildable atomizer that you can build it the way you would like by choosing the thickness and type of the wick and the same for the wire.

There are many combinations you can use to get your so called sweet spot as you can decide what atomizer strength you want. High, low resistance etc...

Venus atomizer kit

The atomizer comes with 2 options. One for dripping and the other for using as a usual eGo type with a tank cartridge. The venus top part can accomodate a standard 1.1ml eGo tank cartridge. No 2ml adapter is available as of yet although you might find it on a different website.

The Venus Eternity has a standard 510 fitting which means you can use it with all sorts of batteries that have a 510 fitting. Most batteries have 510 fitting now, very few have an 808 fitting. It has become the norm that all batteries and atomizers to sell will have to be 510 compatible so to speak.

Venus Eternity anatomy

As you can see from the photo above from top to bottom there is:

1. The drip tip which can be substituted for a tank cartridge (1.1ml) eGo type.
2. The dripping body which accommodates the drip tip. The Venus comes with 2 bodies (dripping body and Tank body) The tank body is the one that accommodates the tank cartridge.
3. The changeable coil part is the part with the most fun you can have if you are into rebuilding atomizers. Get yourself some wick and wire (many websites do that) and experiment with different resistances and wick thicknesses.
4. The needle base which also acts as a reservoir for the liquid in dripping mode. Very well sealed. I've been using it for over 2 months now and not once it has leaked.
5. The Coil base is where you hook the wick and coil to it through the posts. These posts do not need clicking to place like other makes such as the Vision. The downside of the click is that if pulled too hard, might damage the post and you loose the whole thing.
6. The cone part is more of a decorative item specially if you use the Venus on an eGo type battery. It complements it looks by hiding the screw part of the battery and makes the whole ecig much more streamlined.

You can either make your own coils or buy them ready made from vapourettes. Prices for ready made ones are next to nothing (typically £1 each) with or without posts compared to what we usually pay for an atomizer which is at least £3 up to £10 if not more.

The kit comes in its own presentation tin like box with spare wicks and posts so you are ready to go straight away out of the box.
