VAMO V2 Variable Voltage, Variable Power - Advanced Personal Vaporizer 

The VAMO APV (Advanced Personal Vaporizer) is an affordable but full-featured electronic cigarette.  It has shown to be very reliable and has similar features to the newest version of the high-end ZMax.  In addition to this being a powerful and incredibly versatile e-cigarette, it looks great and is available in either a stainless, gun metal black chrome or a more traditional chrome. 

Here is a link to a very thorough review on the VAMO. CLICK HERE TO VIEW

When you use the VAMO you can choose to either vary the voltage setting (from 3 to 6 volts in .1 volt increments) or the power (from 3 to 15 watts in .5 watt increments).   

With other APVs you generally have to make a decision to purchase either a full size or a mini size.  A full size e-cig is great when you are at home relaxing, as you can use large batteries and vape for most of the day on a single charge.  On the other hand, when you are out and about and want convenience and maybe a bit of stealth, the mini mode is what you want.  I have had many customers purchase both the full size and the mini Vari-Tubes.

With the VAMO, you get the best of both worlds.  Use either a single 18650 or two 18350 cells with the extender tube and you have a full size device.  Take off the extender tube, use just one 18350 cell and now you are in mini mode.  It doesn't get any more convenient or flexible than this.

Note:  Earlier releases of the VAMO had an issue where certain 18650 cells did not fit correctly as the spring was not quite long enough.  The VAMOs on this site have the most current, longer and wider, gold colored springs that address both the fit issue as well as reported over heating issue.



We have become aware that some users have damaged the center post and / or the atomizer threads on their device by screwing in certain cartomizers or tank devices that have an elongated thread. The Vivi Nova (manufacturer unknown) has been specifically identified.

Please be gentle when screwing down any atomizing device on your APV. Do not over-tighten or force them on. As an added precaution, we recommend using a 510 to 510 extension or a 510 to EGO adapter. This will help protect the threads and center post. It is much cheaper to replace an adapter than an APV.

Be advised that we can not provide any warranty because of thread or center post damage.

Features and Benefits Summary
  • Variable Voltage  (3 to 6 Volts in .1 volt increments) and Variable Power (3 to 15 watts in .5 watt increments) 
    • adjust to find that perfect vape for any cartomizer or liquid
  • Multiple configurations
    • mini or full size, one or two cells
  • Blue OLED display 
    • easy to read in most lighting conditions
  • Native Ego and 510 connections 
    • there is a recessed connection well with EGO and 510 threads so there is no need for an adapter for most 510 or Ego threaded devices (note that Ego cartomizers / clearomizers with very wide skirts might require an adapter)
  • 5 ampere current limit 
    • plenty of current to drive most cartomizer / atomizer resistances across a range of voltages
  • Battery voltage remaining display 
    • monitor your battery charge remaining
  • Cartomizer / Atomizer resistance display 
    • verify the resistance of your devices
  • Voltage setting / power setting display 
    • two modes are available, Average and Root Mean Square.  We recommend the RMS mode setting
  • Over discharge protection 
    • the unit turns off when the battery charge remaining gets too low.  Very important with IMR cells as they do not have this built in
  • Reverse, low resistance and short protection 
    • Keeps the VAMO from getting ruined if you put the battery in backwards or attach a bad cartomizer or atomizer   
      Error codes:
      LO-Ω  - Atomizer resistance is too low (below 1.3 ohms).
      LO-v   - Atomizer shorted
       
Instructions (you can download printable instructions with pictures HERE

Turn on / Turn offPress the Power (large) button 5 times within 2 seconds.
Voltage adjustTap the + or - buttons to raise or lower output voltage (in .1 volt increments).  The voltage level resets itself to 3 volts when the battery is removed
Power adjustTap the + or - buttons to raise or lower output wattage (in .5 watt increments).  The power level resets itself to 3 watts when the battery is removed
Resistance checkWith an atomizer or cartomizer installed on unit, press and hold the + button for 2 seconds. Atomizer resistance is displayed in ohms.
Battery voltage checkPress and hold the - button for 2 secs to check actual battery voltage.  The display will flash when the battery (or batteries) needs replacing/recharging (approx 3.4v for one cell, 6.8v for two cells)
Voltage / Power Mode
The VAMO can operate either in Voltage Mode or Power Mode.  We find that Power Mode is generally easier for users that switch between different cartomizers and atomizers at different resistances as the VAMO will adjust for that resistance and deliver consistent power to the device.  

To set the mode, hold the + and the - buttons down simultaneously for about 2 seconds.  The display will either say 3.0 v (for voltage) or 3.0 w (for power).  If the setting that is displayed, is not the one you want, then hold the two buttons down again and the mode will be changed.  You can now use the + and - buttons to adjust the voltage or the power as described above.

The VAMO can determine output voltage and wattage as an Average or as RMS (Root Mean Square). RMS is the actual and true output and is the one to use.
Press and hold the + button for 10 secs. If  "no2" is shown then the output is already set to RMS, no further action is required. If no1 is shown, release the button and press again for 10 secs until the display shows no2. This setting should not change after a new battery is inserted but if the vape feels hotter than expected you should re-check this setting.

Battery Safety Information
Be sure to use only cells that are recommended by the manufacturer or vendor where you purchased your APV (electronic cigarette). Failure to use proper procedures with lithium ion cells can lead to serious accidents, quite possibly a fire or an explosion. Do not over charge or over discharge cells.

We strongly recommend IMR or PROTECTED ICR cells in all e-cigarette applications. Do not charge these cells unattended. If cells become damaged, discontinue their use immediately. For comprehensive information on safely using lithium ion cells, please visit the Battery University

Rating I love it!
 
This is my first APV and I love it. So many options! I set the wattage and let it go, one 18650 battery will last me all day with almost constant vaping. I got mine in Stainless Steel and love it. I also added a "warp" to it so it looks cleaner and does not get as many fingerprints on it. Great mod!

Rating High-tech...Low price!
 
Ive been vaping for at least 2 years and owned 7 or 8 mods in that time just trying to find the best one i can within a limited budget. The vari-tubes are awesome, especially the chrome one. In my opinion though, the VAMO is the best mod i've ever had. I'm still trying to decide which wattage works best for me in power mode with a 2.5 ohm carto but the vapor is great using watts or volts and i couldnt be happier. The price by the way is unbeatable, i've checked many sites. Thanks, Tropical vapors, you have done right by me again!
