Well, I've come to the conclusion, I should just throw my vamo V5 in the trash. To be honest, it is one of the nicest looking mods I own... a bit underpowered now, but the threads have been stripped. Looking for a replacement top cap, I came across only two sites.. one is in the US, but I can't seem to Email them, and the other is in the UK, and they want almost triple the amount... and worth almost as much as a new one. So... Instead of spending good money on something that might be bad, I must throw it away.
Kind of sad though. My main mod has switched to a Sigeli 100.. cloupor 30 is a good second... But I've still had the vamo for quite a while and it's the first truly VW mod I've owned.. it's the one that got me to the rebuilding side, it's lived from AGA T2 to Kayfun days... I've had one or two EGO's go bad, but never felt bad about throwing those away. It's been a good mod. :/ (plays funeral bagpipes).
I have spent nothing on vaping in the last 7 months but now I am thinking about buyin a spare to spare for my Vamo 5 (to keep one at home and one at work). I am very satisfied with my Vamo – it worked perfectly for 8 months. I use it with 18360 battery, so it is not too long, fits perfectly in hand and after continuous use for 8 months it is still as good as a new one. But I do know it will go bad sooner or later, I have to be prepared. I was thinking about buying just another Vamo (may be Vamo 7), but then wondered if I would like to try a box mod. What if I would like it? And if not, I do need one more spare anyway.
So far I am thinking about Cloupor Mini 30W.
Authentic Cloupor Mini 30W Variable Wattage / Voltage VW VV APV Box Mod
Would you recommend it? Is it comfortable enough? Is it too small (to fit in hand)? Comfort and reasonable longevity are the most important thing for me. For example, I have found in Cloupor description “Magnet back cover, no need to use screwdriver, more”. It is very important for me; I could not imagine myself walking around with a screwdriver in case I have to replace a battery. What other mods (if any) should I consider? I do not need more than 30W, please do not advise me on more powerful mods unless they have some extremely useful features beyond their power. And I do not want to spend more money than necessary for a spare.
But maybe I will be still buying a new Vamo 7. Do somebody have hands on experience with this one?
Does anyone else get this weird throw up feeling after a session of vaping when you get up? I do sometimes and i don't know why. Its happened quite a few times now, the last time it happened I went to have a vape before my Karate training (I was ready and everything) then i felt like I was going to throw up and if i move too fast i probably would have.
Any ideas?
I paid $250 bux for a full set up a while back, and the little inner copper firing pin contact broke, right where the thread screw into the bottom button. I got the broken piece out of the button threads, but I need a new copper contact pin. I went to the store and they said they don't have it, and they cant contact the manufacturer.
I am so irritated at the customer service there. I have spent well over a couple grand on crap from them over the years and they basically told me "oh well, that sucks, buy a new one"
Im hoping that someone on here can either help point me in the right direction of someone to talk to that makes the Turtleship V3 Mod, or someone that might have a replacement part. It cant be more than a couple bucks for the little piece. I would of expected them to contact the manufacturer and just give me the replacement pin for free.
Once I have the money I am going to buy something like a hexohm or similar 100w box mod, but until then, I need to fix this, and plus I want to have it as a back up for if my boxmod goes out and needs to be fixed. Given that, I have a seperate question on who you guys think has the best customer service and warranty for box mods? What are the "flagship" devices on the market with all the bells and whistles and most reliable / durable build design?
Thanks a lot for any help you guys can offer as far as being able to get my mech mod fixed. Id have to just throw 200 bux in the trash.
Help! :/
Good tip for you guys without magnetic back plates on box mods. Throw those crappy screws away!
Most plates are beveled to fit snug to the main body. Instead of having to unscrew those tiny little screws find yourself a rubber wrist bracelet and wrap it around your mod. So simple but very effective. They practically give those things away so it shouldn't be too hard to find one. Or you could buy one.
Try it out! I promise you will love it
I am really liking these skins.
They look good and they give a better grip than the straight stainless.
Most of them look kinda hokey but there are a few that look really nice.
Vamo skins
Hi guys,
So I Got my Vamo v5 and pt2 a few days ago and I have read that the 510 thread wears down easily on the Vamo. So, I ordered a Nautilus BVC as I find my Pt2 is going through juice really fast at about 5ml a day with less usage than before, and I see it comes with an eGo threaded cone and I was just wondering if it will help keep the 510 thread intact or if it is purely cosmetic?
I needed an extra 510 drip tip for an atomizer (someone gave a used one with no tip) I had been sharing one from another tank (atomizer... tank is easier to type) so I dug through a box and remembered an old RTA I could steal the drip tip from. Then the memories flooded in... it was a UD Bellus someone gave me (with a warning... "she is evil") I was not put off by this (I like a good challenge) so tried several times to build "the evil one"... no success (it has an extremely small build deck, dual coils sharing the same post holes with tiny screws and no clearance between the coils and chamber) When it did work (briefly) it actually had decent vapor and flavor. I finally gave up... long story but short answer... this tank was my "nemesis" for sure. I even tried the single coil option (came with an adapter to block off one side) still no luck (wanted to throw it in the trash or better yet take a hammer to it) Anyway... what atomizers have you had that you consider your nemesis (evil, vile, stubborn, useless... feel free to use other terms)?
P.S. I know it's futile, but I'm going to try one more time with that "....." (I can hear her laughing at me as I type this)
8/9 wraps of AWG 29 Kanthal on 2mm bit should give you around 1.8 ohms, right? At least that is what it has always given me. This evening I was rebuilding a Nautilus BVC like I have done so many times before. Lo and behold I put the coil on the ohm meter and it's reading 0.18. I look for sticking out bits of wire. None. I throw out the coil and start over with exactly the same build as always. Again I get 0.16 ohms. I test it on all my regulated mods... same result on all of them.
How is this even possible?!
Hi.....looking at getting the vamo V6 20w VV/VW . What do you guys think?
Vamo V5 Variable voltage/variable wattage personal vaporizer
Just a little warning to all who have purchased the Lemo 2- Do not use the wire included in the box.
I was a little worried when i was using the stock coil and noticed it had been turning a green color after a few days of use, not sure if this is the case with all Lemo 2's, but if you notice your wire is turning greenish, just throw it out and replace it. I don't believe this is kanthal, it could possibly be nichrome, but it's properties are not matching up with those of kanthal. My worries were confirmed when I decided to put a parallel 5 wrap coil on my rda with that wire because of my lack of other 24 gauge... Well today when I took out my cotton and dry burned the coil a little to rid it of excess juice, the coil actually deformed and somewhat melted on my rda . I don't know what kind of metal this is, but I'm positive it is not kanthal, this has never happened to me with kanthal, and this wire seems to be of a lower resistance than kanthal. Anyway, just wanted to let ya'll know to be careful with that wire, or just throw it out altogether. Otherwise, the Lemo 2 is a fantastic tank
