A little review...

Well, the Vamo arrived on the 19th July, at around 15.30 pm. So I instantly got the battery on charge. Who would have thought it would take so long. It wasn't until around 22:30 that the battery charger even showed a yellow, never mind a green.

Anyway, I spent most of the afternoon / evening with the evods on the blister pack battery. What a difference. A far more consistent flavour, good vapour, and a nice throat hit. Much better than I was expecting, and I felt I should have just got another couple of them packs, a few more evods, and I would have been sweet.

So, I couldn't wait any longer, and when I saw the charger light turn yellow, I had to fire up the Vamo. I am obviously still getting used to it. Trying to find the sweet spot is hard. To be honest, I'm really too new to have figured out exactly what I want.

For example, at 5.0 Watts it seems nice and smooth. Plenty of vapour, but the taste is slightly metallic with the paradise vape cola (36mg). A taste not replicated with the blister pack. Up the watts and it doesn't really seem to get any better (same with downing the watts). I think that flavour tastes better on the blister pack battery, through the evod if I'm honest. Not a great start.

However, if I move onto my Irn Bru juice (again from Paradise Vape, 36 mg), vaping away at 6.5 watts, and it is a lovely full flavour. Nice vapour release, and a very pleasant experience. It tastes, well not like real Irn Bru, but not unlike cheap supermarket Irn Bru. 

Not my favourite Irn Bru taste, but certainly an improvement over the cola (perhaps shouldn't have bought 30 ml of that stuff. You live and learn. 

Although it is good with the blister pack battery in an evod. I can certainly live with it, and am certainly not too disappointed. I wasn't really expecting to vape that stuff and it taste just like Barrs Irn Bru.

I got some Red Cow (16mg) from Charlies vape shop when I ordered the Vamo. I had a taste of my friends in-laws Red Bull and it impressed me enough to get into this whole vaping scene. I didn't realise it was only 16 mg though. In fact, all the e-liquids I got from them were 16 mg, and as a newly retired smoker, 16 mg doesn't touch the sides. All their liquids will probably be stored until I no longer have the mad urge to go grab a pack of real smokes. Anyway, the flavour from that stuff, while on the Vamo, is sooooo strong. It is nice, but a little too sweet for a regular vape. A nice little change, but not an all day vape that's for sure. I need to figure out how to decant my evod back into the bottle, so I can clean these out and try different e-liquid flavours now.

So there is little point in opening the cherry or root beer from Charlies Vape Shop as they are both 16mg. I didn't order the Root Beer by the way, it was thrown in as my order was large enough to warrant it. I did ask for a tobacco flavour, as I don't have any. But I received a root beer instead??? Not to worry. Didn't matter what I was sent, at 16mg, it aint gonna cut it just now. So all I have left now is the strawberry lemonade to try in the Vamo (again from p.v. at 36 mg). I do have a spare evod to load up with it, so I will give it a try later.


All of the above was based on the Vamo / Evod combo btw. I still have my one CE5+ (I think, from the blister pack) loaded up with the cola. And it tastes pretty fine on the Vamo if I'm honest. Much better than it does on the evod. How weird is that? But that cartridge or whatever it is (clearomiser?) is nothing if not inconsistent. The flavour and vapour is sometimes spot on, then the next vape it's almost like there is nothing. Weird.


So.... Anyway, I ordered a couple protank mini's to try out, and a couple protanks also. And an iclear 30 to try. Mostly from fasttech, but the mini's were from UK, but not in stock just now, but they had a deal on where they were less than a tenner each, delivered, so it would have been rude not to at that price. Should be here next week.


I'll also have to get some tobacco flavours in and menthol flavours for my taste buds off days. I need to find a good all day flavour, and I'm thinking some sort of tobacco flavour should hit the spot. So can anyone recommend a supplier where I can get a few different tobaccos flavours (preferably a B&H kind of flavour), at 36 mg and a reasonable price for smaller quantities? 


Overall I am happy with my purchases. I hope that the new tanks work for me when they arrive. And I am still looking forward to the journey from here on in.

And ss (I think you call it, shiny syndrome) has already started. While I am pretty happy with the blister pack battery sitting as a back up, I have been looking for another MOD as a back up already. Don't think I'm quite ready for Provari expense, and it isn't VW either, so probably wouldn't go down that route anyway. But I have started looking for another VW mod as a Vamo back-up / something different. Oh dear.
