Here are a couple others that use similar concepts. Wonder how they compare to the vm-1?

Neither of these look near as nice as the vm-1.

Someone want to buy the Xtune model and send it to steve for a comparo?

The kuryakyn one is for motorcycles. I doubt it reads fast enought to even come close to the smd unit. Better use is to check your battery is good at a bike show for those guys with speakers.(lame imho)

I think you should spend the 80$ to buy the other one since its your idea :peepwall:

Shower farts still piss me off.

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

I can think of better ways to spend my money. The Xtune is nice but they didn't put numbers around the face so the info there is kind of useless unless you take the time to note where what voltage is. Thats why i love D'amore products so much, they put more thought into what they make.

The xtune is the same price as the vm1

And the dakota digital is even more.

You will buy the vm1

Period

Unless you like wasting money on inferior product.

As far as it on a battery bank.. I might be able to make that video today..

I heard there might be some special guests at AI today.

I can too lol. But everything that comes out of D'amore is just on another level and is so well thought out it makes comparing anything to them a lost cause.

I have no doubts on what product i will buy, Just wish i had the disposable income to do a comparo just for curiosities sake. That's just how i am, I love to test and tweak and try new things. Guess i could see how the return poilicy is on these and when i get my vm-1 I could buy the xtune and make a video then return it. I would only be out the shipping that way.
