Vamo v3 18350s stacked issue :(

[Perpetua]

No idea about the technicalities of it, but I wouldn't stack batteries period . . . I rather like my head being attached to my shoulders.

Stick to the one 18350 until you get some other batteries ordered Bernard, the performance you'll get with that is more than adequate.

Thanks advice taken

[bernardscott]

Can someone recommend some good quality18650's that will last me all day please,

I literally have no idea when it comes to batteries

Thanks

I'm a fan of Efests and AW's Bernard . . . flat top Panasonic's also work well in the Vamo. Torchy on Ebay is one of the most reasonable about for batteries:

Efest & Panasonic both do 3400mah 18650s - they`re the largest capacity ones I`ve come across up to now - not enough to last all day here, but depends on what you`re using.

Fasttech do carry Panasonics - use the dropdown to see the options
www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/1141102-authentic-panasonic-rechargeable-18650-li-ion-batt

Also Torchy/Jim on eBay - but he hasn`t got the full range at the moment, but always gets new ones in
www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Rechargeable-Batteries-/48619/i.html?_ipg=25&_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=big_f_d_d

There`s bound to be other places (and other batteries), but I haven`t been checking recently as I don`t need any at the moment - so probably best having a shop around.

The 3400mAH Efests don't fit the Vamo Kaaru . . . they're that bit too fat, I'm not sure on the Panny's though.

Oh dear - that`s not good then...

I got my Vamo last November, so don`t know what version it is, but the EF3400 fits OK here....they must have changed the dimensions of the tube on the newer versions

[stewarty]

The SenyBor 18650B 3400mAh from torchy fit the vamo but it is a really tight fit

I can get almost 2 full days from one charge

[vereybowring]

I have the flat top panasonic 3400mAh batteries - www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/1141100
They fit my Vamo V2 perfectly well, From what I can see from it the nippled ones should fit as well as the flat tops don't seem to compress the spring too much.

i had a good play with my v3 just now. where they have cut the spiral into it, is fairly sharp edging.. the top cap comes off and its not diamontes on it but little incuts which kind of sparkle.
the led plate isnt as secure on as it could be.
all in all i still reckon its worth the money (fasttech)

Personally I go for the Panasonic IMR batteries. I was told that they have safer chemistry than the ICR, however don't ask me what that means  

I get 2 days out of them, vaping about 5ml/day, 8-9W using the Vamo with these and I change the battery when it dips to 3.5V:

Would these be ok?

www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/1141100

They are virtual the same as lemental posted but with a higher capacity, would they fit the vamo v3

Thanks

A few good improvements on V2, better screen, 2 seperate tubes so when in 18650 mode no join half way up, wider hole at top so will take Evods etc without airflow issues, removeable top ring so it will take other wide ar*ed attys.

All in all better performance but still not sold on the swirly design, as you say it's cut quite deep and the tube look like a similar guage metal as V2 so Imagine it must affect the strength of it and could damage easier.

Overall I quite liked it and it's a good cheap step up from ego's etc but OH's friend liked it more so it now stays across the street  .... I've got to many mods anyway plus another couple on route
