vamo v6

johnnykildare · 05-03-2015 8:15pm #1

hi, just bought a vamo v6 (first mod was using e twist, spinner etc) and bought a couple of ultrafire 18650 3000 mah batteries. I brought the vamo to work with a full battery and had run out by the time I came home. Did not smoke it much 70-80 puffs at 8-9 watts. I bought the batteries from a chinese site so reckon they are duds. My query is what are the best batteries to get and also what tank is best to get. Newbie to all of this so any advice welcome!

Batteries, I would suggest Samsung, Efest, Sony or AW. Tanks, depends on what your after, capacity,durability etc. Flavour of the month seems to be Aspire Nautilis. I use one daily and it'd look good on a Vamo : )

I used Vamos for around 2 years, the older V2, the V3 and the V5. I used the same batt's for all that times across them, the pink samsung ones, and the green panasonics. They were about €8-€10 a piece, but like I say, they did me all that time.

Where is the best place to get batteries, bricks and mortar or online.

If you're buying batteries online, make sure they are legit. There are a lot of copies out there that could be dangerous. The average price is from €8 upwards, look at the Mah,,,,,higher number,longer use. Check the amps too, high drain batteries are better

If they have them local to you then it's worth getting them there of course, but the likes of Thebestshop would have them out to you in 2 days

yeah, should have said, I was quoting 18650 batts - the green panasonic ones I mentioned, are a longer lasting, 3400mah, which is why they're more pricey [€11)

For 18350 ones I used the purple Efest high drain ones. They're €5 on bestshop. Just using them as an example as that's where I got mine from.

It'll take both, there's a spring in the end cap to allow for them

johnnykildare · 05-03-2015 10:54pm

Thanks for all your replies. I think I will go for the panosonic ones you were on about thecageyone, but they are currently sold out. I am in no rush so can wait. Trond does it mater if there is a button on the battery or not?

Thecageyone · 05-03-2015 10:59pm

The button doesn't matter, just whether they fit snug or not. In your Vamo you should be fine with either, because of the spring. I've used both types. In some mods you can't use one or other, because they're more measured to fit and don't use springs.

The green pano's are great i think, I've had mine a long time as I said, and they still work grand. I feel like they don't hold charge as good as they used to, but that's just the norm with aging batteries.

I'd suggest getting a Nitecore 4 bay charger too, and a few spare batt's - so you'll always have some charging when using others.

johnnykildare · 05-03-2015 11:21pm

Thecageyone, how long would one of the panosonic batteries fully charged last in the vamo if vaping around 8-10 watts?

Thecageyone · 05-03-2015 11:48pm

I was normally in around 9-10w on the Vamo and I'd get the best part of the day from one at least. I'm on the iStick now which is a whole other ball game, but beforehand I was used to having batt's on the charge all the time, and I'd switch them out when they dropped to 3.7 - 3.8v - just out of habit. So i imagine you could go longer if you don't mind dropping a bit below that.

johnnykildare · 06-03-2015 6:19pm

Hi Thecageyone, this might be a stupid question but how would you know the battery had dropped below 3.7 V, as i said newbie to all this.

Thecageyone · 06-03-2015 7:55pm

If you hold the left button on the vamo down for a few seconds, it'll display the current volts of the battery, or at least mine did

it'll be in the settings somewhere at least. Unless they changed it for the V6, I'd bet on that being how to check
