I was ready to start sub ohm in December and I ordered the Vamo V9, waited about 30 days and received it from chinabuye.com . This was my first purchase from China. Everything looked great in the box, it looked well made. The enjoyment was short lived, there are a couple of design issues:
1. the space for the battery is very limited and the bottom cap to secure the battery has no room to screw in.
2. the top cap (holds the 510 connection) is pressed in and not secured.
3. the control board and internals are not secured to the body.
These design issues caused the issues I have with the Vamo V9, when I attempted to secure the battery with the bottom cap the treads squeak, I continued to secure the bottom cap anyway and the top cap came off. The whole control board and battery pushed the top cap off and everything lost alignment. There was no way to secure the top and bottom cap with an inserted battery (the battery is a flat head).
Resolution
I attempted several fixes but non work until I figured I could just add a rubber o ring to the bottom cap to limit the travel of the cap, I also added shims to the top cap and re pressed it on. Everything is working now but I would not recommend this MOD to anyone, I now use the VAMO V9 as a backup to my Sigelei 150. I will post my experience with chinabuye.com on a different post.
