Vamo & Vamo v2

[thehitman]

Hello

Is there any differences between these two, I m getting my Vamo today and I have seen some venders selling Vamo v2

I think the differences are - V2
Better bottom cap spring
Remembers the setting when changing the battery (not sure on this)
Has metal buttons

[Deleted]

V1 had plastic buttons, no insulator on +ve connection, weaker spring and an error on the 6W setting that produced more like 13W

The V2 has chrome buttons, an insulator on the +ve, a more powerful spring and remembers settings after changing the battery ( not 100% sure of the remembering settings ).

Be careful though. There are Vamo's being sold as V2's (by reputable vendors) that seem to be a hybrid. They have metal buttons, the insulator on the +ve (not sure if the spring has been changed as I can't find a picture of the older spring) But the 6W bug is still there and they don't remember settings.

My V2 has all of the above,it remembers the volts and or watts when switched off but forgets the voltage when you take the battery out, however it does remember the watts after a battery change.

I have seen the V1's with the insulating washer, mine has one and I have a V1.

does anyone know if the ones jason is selling are v1 r v2 ??
by the looks of the pictures on site they look to have metal buttons so is it safe to assume they are v2 ??

I would imagine they would be V2

Yes seems to be lots of variations out there. Lack of insulation washers seem to be the biggest problem, due to short circuits. The 6W bug is annoying if you forget about it, also burnt out a few coils because of it.

I think it's the price we pay for wanting cheap stuff from China

Do not assume that. I did See my post above.

Speak to Jason before you buy.

You probably have the 6W bug then, see the What is a Hot Spring thread for a link to a really good replacement spring. With the new spring installed the battery doesn't rattle any more and it doesn' loose connection when you shake it.

I'm sure it is the silver bullet, I opened the large coil a little bit to ensure it was a tight fit in the cap otherwise it falls out.
