Just found this Ripshod

Never thought I'd hear myself saying this but my interest in Vamos has just been lifted. Bluetooth and usb charging? I'm liking this very much.

Not sure how you would get it in there (ooermissus) , be good for a boxmod though

Dimensions are identical to a V5. In fact it's slightly shorter. Button placement and screen all seem identical. If they don't fit then I'll do a box mod, and keep one spare.

Ripshod did you get any of these from FT?
If so any good?

Yes I did. It does work but honestly I'd say a little undepowered. Went straight into a V5 with a line of hot melt along the top edge of the board - it seems a couple of mm shorter. I thought it would, and it did.

It got me wondering though, with it feeling underpowered. Does it need stacked batteries (7.4V) to output that top power? Couldn't be bothered looking up the spec. I even forgot this thread existed. 
I've lost the spare

I was considering buyin as I have a DIY mod with a broken hookey DNA in it.
How under powered?Do you think it would keep up with a 1.5ohm build at about 4.2volts on an 18650?
It was mentioned in the reviews for the 60w on FT about having to stack batteries.

You'll have no problem with that I reckon. It wasn't seriously underpowered, more short of breath. I don't think it's noticable until you get towards the lower ohms limit (FT state 1.0ohm, though it would fire a 0.5ohm coil) @ higher watts.

Great stuff!
I have a couple of mosfets which are OK but after a bit of chain vapin they start to run out of steam & need a little kick up the backside.
Will go and order meself 1 which hopefully wont be DOA like the last vamo board I got from FT.
Ta very much Ripshod.
