Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Vamo-V6

Unlike the first versions of this legendary mod, the 6 version shows many improvements (initiated from the 5 version to be exact).
Gone are the legendary hair trailing inside the mod on the screen.
No more cross insertion of the interface screen ...
No more old LCD screen ...
No more squeaks of threads!
We are in front of a successful product, which leaves nothing to be desired, for a price of 40 euros! and I say bravo!
Why this craze for this mod (besides the fact that in its version 3 it was the first electro mod that I have ever bought) simply because at this price, you can add a good atomizer for thirty euros and for 70 euros , ie far less than the fateful bar of the 100 bill, we can have a serious setup!
The Vamo puts vaping within everyone's reach! and that I love!

Reviewer's comments on functional features

I'm repeating myself, I'm rambling, but for 40 euros, we have everything a modern electronic mod can and should offer in terms of functionality.

vamo-v6-from-kangside all parts

I regret that the change from 18350 - 18650 battery compatibility is done by removing part of the tube, the bottom cap then attaching to the remaining thread available… because we can lose “the 18650 extension… But in the measure or the vamo is not telescopic ... I quibble there on a point of detail and personally that has never happened to me (yet) ..
Another point that I regret is the need to separately purchase the adapter allowing the Vamo to be used in Power Bank mode to recharge your phone for example ... but with an entry ticket of 40 euros you cannot do everything to have.

Vamov6 - Screen Interface

With the arrival of the new SX chipset equipping the Vamo and the support of the OLED screen, I admit I love the possibility of having all the vape and battery charge information simultaneously on the screen.
In summary, from a functional point of view, this old Vamo, has everything of a small young person launched with a big marketing blow and sold twice as expensive!

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Vamo v6 - box

Only false note in the packaging of the Vamo ... the manual in English.
This is the only reason why it does not have 5/5 ... that the constructors of mod at 200 euros take the seed ... when they sell us their mods in a plastic box whose indications on the edge constitute the seeds. only information available to the vapoteur, that makes you dream ...

The mood ticket of the reviewer

You will have understood it I love the Vamo.
To be honest, this is the sixth copy that I acquired during my vaping life ...
What happened to others? By dint of good and loyal service they let me go or it's me… on concrete… breaking this or that screen, rendering this or that button unusable…
Do I regret having six? no ! Quite simply because if I lose it, break it or after a few months it lets me go (number three betrayed me after only two months ... a batch problem no doubt ...) it is only 40 euros… of course these are under, but we are far from the minimum 50 bill requested by many manufacturers.
I'll be honest, either the vamo will let go in the first few weeks (and it will be sufficient to play the guarantee) or it will be your favorite companion for many months, even years!
Version 6 represents a very good evolution, so much so that I wonder why they did not take the opportunity to update the firmware to allow a start with a resistance of around 0.6 ohms instead and instead of this minimum blocking value of 1.5 ohms dating from the prehistoric age of the vape.
If you are a beginner and you are looking to acquire your first mod it can only be the Vamo ... if you are a seasoned vaper not wishing to jeopardize every day that God makes his darling pipeline and you are looking for a mod of extra ... it can only be the Vamo.
The one and only reason I see not to buy it would be to be snobbish! but that would mean that in these times of crisis you have plenty to see coming! Good for you !
If, on the other hand, like me, you manage your budget with a good father, the Vamo is to be considered in your future acquisition options ... for you or as a gift!
Looking forward to reading you.
