Great review Dave, I gather you like it a bit! I think trying new juices is the best part of vaping and (if you can afford it) this is a great way of trying a range of flavours that you might not otherwise think of having a go at. I think the price is right, and the package, leaflet and discount codes complete the service well. If I could guarantee not getting tobacco flavours I'd definitely give it a go. I might drop them an email and see what they can do

Mrs poo's last Vamo from FT is on its last legs after about two months! They used to be reasonably well made and pretty durable but the ones being knocked out nowadays are much lower quality IMO. I'd get another SID over a Vamo any day of the week. It' snot like SIDs are fantastic but they are definitely better quality than current VAMOs

I've had one of these for about 5 months. Paid £300 for it on Amazon. Very pleased with it and think it's better than the Gaggia bean to cup machines I've had in the past. Now to the maths :- Tassimo 29p per cup Bean to cup 9p per cup So 5 cups per day saves you £1. Deduct the price of a Tassimo from 250 and that's how many days later you are in profit  Pretty certain this is the same machine my parent have, wjll check tomorrow, but if it is, i can highly recommend it, makes a lovely cup of coffee and pretty fast for a beans to cup.  I have one of these and it's been a great machine, once you've set your strength and quantity of water it's just a case of pressing the button and it brews an espresso in about half a minute. If you want a cappuccino then you have to heat and froth your milk which is no mither but if you're in a wheelchair I'm not so sure. Then there's cleaning it out periodically, it helps to be able to get your head in close to see around the nooks and crannies to get the grounds out that didn't make it into the waste collector. It makes fab coffee though. Ive also got a Gaggia espresso machine, it's fully manual and again it makes a great coffee but I prefer bean to cup. In Cyprus I've got a tassimo and guess what? It makes great coffee! Easy to use and clean and there's a great range of pods to choose from. I have kittens when I buy two weeks supply before we go, but then I remember we got the machine for about £30 in some offer somewhere so it's not so bad. If it were me and I had trouble standing I think I'd get a pod machine, they're just hassle free and the drinks really are good, I don't think they sacrifice flavour at all. I tend to use instant as well as fresh, I was getting faaaar to much caffeine using the machine all day long! |

Don't think people buying is necessarily the problem DiscoDes, it's newbies selling that might be an issue. Someone buying is bound to get caught out sooner or later. I bought (well, swapped) for a Rose in the week from a new member; it went fine but despite checking him out via PM, my arse was twitching for 48 hours! I'm on a photography forum and they stipulate 3 months and 100 legitimate posts, the mods discount and moderate spam posts as well! That pretty much gets rid of any chancers and that forum classifieds probably turns over a couple of million quid a year. Having said all that, as shiny says there are legit members from other forums looking to sell kit, it's a problem. |

No problemoooo tracerace1, I'm after one because she breaks everything else, I just don't want to spend £180 quid. They're good, but not £180 good. Mines stainless, I'd like another one of those 'cos she couldn't scratch the paint, but if I think about it she could scratch the stainless. Soooo! let's see what Corey says |

How old is it corey85? I don't suppose you still have the receipt for any remaining warranty? |

poochops I'll be sure and let you know. I'd imagine it unusual to have four fault batteries, are they all draining quickly in the same device ? They are mate, but we have four others of exactly the same type (also from FT) that are nine months old and still last a day and a half of heavy vaping in the same device too. I reckon I've bought from a bad batch tbh, all the reviews are positive and our old ones are great. I'd raise a ticket but I just can't be bothered with the faff, not for the money. I'll probably end up ordering another 4 sometime soon.
to be fair we've had loads of batteries from FT and they've been spot on. |

OliverB you need to wiggle right around the rimmage gently so the central protruberance rises gradually all the way round  Then check the centre post of the 510 atty is proud of the body as well, before you put them back together, if it was a bad connection that should do it. Check before as well that your Vamo hasn't been accidentally revved up to near 15w or 6v, if you're on low ohms coils it might refuse to fire
