Fasttech question.

[CShaver]

So I've heard mixed reviews about fasttech, and I tried searching, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question.

I ordered a Vamo V5 from fasttech a few days ago. It says retail packaging, and I seem to remember it saying genuine, but I think that was wishful thinking, because I went to check again and couldn't find anything about the V5 being genuine. I don't want to get a clone of such an already inexpensive mod.

Does anyone know for sure if the V5 from fasttech is actually genuine?

With the Vamo there is really no such thing as genuine. It seems that there are several factories producing the same mod and selling them as Vamos.
I know Sigelei do a Vamo and the original (that I know) was sold as a Bamboo - I bought one from a local B&M a good while back.

As for the quality of the fasttech APV, it should be alright. They seem to have fixed the QC issues that were affecting the threads on the 510 connection. I bought a V3 that was really bad on the threading, but like I said, I've seen fewer and fewer issues with them popping up on the forum.

While you wait for it, have a look around the VAMO section of the forum for the full low-down.

well since the vamo has no specific manufacturer its real. i have a v2 from FT and it was what it is supposed to be.

Well that's interesting. I had no idea that Vamo wasn't the brand. We'll chalk this up to newbie's confusion. I've only been vaping for 2 weeks lol.

Obviously, it's my first mod. I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Thanks for the quick replies!

think of it as the first open source mod, as long as a factory follows the layout and uses the same board anyone can make them.

I do believe smok or vision is responsible for the original design though. (could be wrong)

yea as said there's a few company's that make them like Smok, Sigelei and I think vision makes 1 now as well. They are all from china so ft could sell any of them, tho I think they sell Sigelei

That actually seems like a great concept. It would allow for improvements to be made faster. I definitely like the idea .
