I was delighted when I moved up from eGo's to a Gun Metal Vamo v5 until a few months later the tiny left button broke. I was freaking out as the eGo's are ok when I'm out and about, but at my PC desk I like something with more power and options.
I scampered back to FastTech to find a Vamo v6 with 20 watts and supposed to work down to .5ohm. Only in stainless steel at the time. I read where the stainless steel wears better, though I like some color. I grew to like stainless steel.
I thought I could live with the wonky ohm readings until I was trying to build some new sub-ohm coils the other day. Ok, skip that idea I will just make above 1 ohm coils to get my RTA/RDA back in service.
Yesterday while window shopping on Amazon.com, I stumbled across 3 reasonably priced box mods. The iPV Mini 30, Sigelei Mini 30W and Sigelei 50W VR2. Normally I would not shop there for mods, but I have some gift certificates leftover from the holidays.
I researched hard for a whole day trying to decide which of the 3 would be best for me. I like the wavy lines on the Sigelei 50W VR2 allot, but would I need anything that powerful? Hard to tell with a wonky Vamo. The iPV had some minor issues with the build quality that I read about. The Sigelei Mini was only available in black at the time I was looking. I wanted stainless so with the black silicone sleeve I could have two colors for the price of one. I thought about waiting, but it is rare that anyone on Amazon sells reasonably priced vaping gear that I like.
The black Sigelei Mini 30W won the cart.
It was hard to pass up the beautiful black Sigelei 50W VR2 with the stunning wavy lines, but 50 watts on a single 18650 battery did have me wondering about vape time on a single charge, plus the price could come down later.
Then there is always the iStick 50 watt to check out.
When my new mod comes, the Vamo will be sent to it's place next to the remaining eGos.
