Vamo V2 First Impressions (Gunmetal/Black Chrome finish)

So I received my Vamo in the mail from FastTech this past Friday. I have since used it exclusively the past couple of days and feel like I'm familiar enough with the device to provide a solid first impressions piece for the blog.

First off, kudos to FastTech! Total shipping time was 8 days from the day I ordered. That is unreal coming from Hong Kong. Couldn't have asked for better service. I also purchased a Protank in this order as well ($12 was a great deal on it, by the way!) and a couple of 18350 batteries to power the Vamo. I was worried that either my Vamo or the Protank were going to arrive broken or damaged in some way after making that long trip but no worries, everything was well packaged and in pristine shape.

The Vamo itself is much smaller than I imagined it being, which is a good thing. Don't get me wrong, in 18650 mode it IS a little long, but very manageable. I plan on ordering some 18650's soon to use in this mod for at home use, but for the time being I use it with my 18350 batteries constantly. Battery time is 6-7 hours on one 18350 battery and I am a moderate to heavy vaper.

The gunmetal/black chrome finish is gorgeous. I really like it. After two days the finish still looks great and I have not noticed any scratches which most say this finish is extremely prone to. Also, fingerprints do not seem to be as big of an issue as most claim and I have some oily skin so I thought it would be horrible.

The device is very user friendly and simple to use. 5 clicks to power up, 5 to power off. Hold both smaller buttons at once for 5 seconds or so to switch from volts to watts. Hold the right button down to check atomizer resistance, hold the left to check remaining voltage in your battery. Hold either one of those down a little longer (10-15 seconds or so) to switch between NO1 and NO2 modes. I'm not too savvy with the technical stuff but I've read you want to stick to NO2 mode. The Vamo V2 comes shipped on NO1 mode so be sure to switch modes before you start vaping.

I am extremely pleased with this mod. For $28 and some change you cannot do any better than this. Period. I'll probably be back in a month or two with my experiences and an update on how this finish holds up for a full review. Check out the links below to pick up one of these things for yourself and thanks for reading!

$2.65 EVOD tanks!

Anyone out there looking to add to their tank collection should check out FastTech.

They have an awesome deal going on EVOD tanks at the moment. $2.65 a pop. I'd say that's unbeatable. I just ordered a few from my favorite juice vendor and paid nearly twice the price. Add in free shipping and you can hoard tanks on the cheap. Check it out, they have multiple colors to choose from just browse the drop down menu at the link below.

NOTE: These are NOT official KangerTech EVOD tanks but I have read numerous reviews from customers across the internet praising these FastTech EVOD's. No leaks, no dry hits.

VAMO: Playing the waiting game

So I have ordered the beauty you see on the left from FastTech. It'll be my first variable voltage mod and I am STOKED! I decided to go with the V2 VAMO over the V3 mainly due to aesthetics but I'm sure the minor improvements the V3 offers won't be missed anyways.

It was hard to pass up. The prices at FastTech are out of this world cheap and I have heard nothing but good things about them. I placed my order Thursday night and it left their warehouse around 10 am Friday morning! Can't complain about that. Now we'll just wait and see how long it takes the thing to travel around the globe all the way to my grubby little hands.

If you're interested in a VAMO, a variable voltage device, or just a cheap mod in general head on over to FastTech and check them out. Below are the links to the chrome, gunmetal, and stainless steel packages that include one of the best chargers on the market in the Intellicharger I2 and the best 18650 batteries out there, some Panasonic's. Enjoy, fellow vapers!

Chrome: Chrome VAMO V2 set with Nitecore I2 and Panasonic 18650 batteries

Gunmetal: Gunmetal VAMO V2 set with Nitecore I2 and Panasonic 18650 batteries

Stainless Steel: Stainless Steel VAMO V2 set with Nitecore I2 and Panasonic 18650 batteries

These are the newest V2 revisions with the wider drip well, improved center post, brushed look instead of polished on the chrome, etc. $51 and change on the Chrome and Gunmetal models, $53 and change on the stainless set. Again, cannot be beat. Especially considering the quality of the charger and batts included.

UPDATE: It is now $50 even for the Chrome and Gunmetal starter kits, $51.54 for the Stainless Steel kit. A sweet deal gets sweeter.

Welcome to the web's newest blog dedicated to vaping!

Hello, fellow vaping enthusiasts! Welcome to Vape Gear! I know, I know.... ANOTHER vaping blog? Yes, another. Am I jumping on a bandwagon here? Yeah, I guess I am. But it's a bandwagon I'm thrilled to be a part of. My name is Jon and I personally have been smoke free for 29 days and find it to be a huge milestone for myself. I am in love with the hobby of vaping and if I can do my part to introduce it to even one smoker then I'll call that a win.

With this blog I'm going to be focusing on gear reviews (mods, tanks, batteries, etc.) as well as juice reviews. I'll also share as I come across some awesome deals on new gear and juice. Maybe link some of my favorite YouTube reviewers and websites and anything else vape   related. So if you've somehow stumbled upon the blog, please stay tuned. Bookmark it, come back whenever you get a chance. I'll try my best to inform and entertain you while getting a nice vape in.
