Hello scargill nice to meet you

Your link isn't clickable, but even without seeing it I would strongly advise you against buying anything e-cig related on Ebay. You will have no protection as ecig items are banned on there so the seller could just disappear.

There are some great deals around for the Vamo at the moment, I'm not a Vamo fan so will leave others to help you there. While you're waiting for more replies have a look at some of these vendors and take a note of the discount codes

Must agree with Karma. I wouldn't go for that ebay kit either. If for no other reason than the batteries and charger aint the best. But the lack of come back would also be preying on my mind.

As for the Vamo itself. Do it. They are a great bit of kit. I love my V4, it does everything I want it to. But make sure you go for the stainless steel version. The chrome / coloured ones don't wear well.

I love my vamo, it gets used every day whereas other mods I have only come out once in a while. I have the chrome one and it was bought second hand - it's holding up ok but it doesn't look pristine.

The V5 the deal you link above isn't an enormous bargain, plus as Karma mentioned you have no buyer protection on ebay. I think the best price on v5 kits and individual mods is currently at myepack - but I haven't been keeping an eye on them since I got mine

Hello & welcome scargill

I love my Vamo but agree with the others - don't buy one via ebay.

I would never buy off ebay for this kind of stuff.

Besides, I have a Vamo (body only) on it's way for £21. I can wait.

i.m.o. With these sorts of products it is always worth paying the extra and getting them from a proper Vaping shop. (Or take your chances direct from China).

Just be aware if you buy a Vamo from Fasttech it could well take 4 or 5 weeks to arrive (+ Christmas Royal Mail delays). If you so choose the Swisspost shipping option it costs $1 but it's likely to get to you a bit quicker than Singapore Post and less likely to get stuck in Customs.

ahh thabks for that think all just wait till new year maybe some vendors will have some sales, do they do that like the christmas sales haha

The eBay ban is a surprise to me - it's full of ecig stuff. Even Myepack, who are referred to on this forum as a reputable vendor have an eBay shop Here it is.

I bought an Innokin iTaste vv V3 from eBay recently and had no problems with it - even got an authentic barcode which I checked on the Innokin website.

I'm sure these guys buy their stuff very cheap direct from Chinese companies like FastTech, and sell it for a profit to people who can't wait too long for their kit to arrive.

Myepack certainly don't as they're an authorised Kanger re-seller:

does it really matter about changing the wattage on a vamo? i am still finding my feet so could i just change the volts to the resistance of the tank and all would be ok?
