VeDO Bam Mini Bullet Vibrator – Sex Toy Review
Look at my face. Just look at it. Okay… maybe you can’t exactly look at my face… but if you could see it right now you would see a look of complete boredom. Look, I’m stifling a yawn right now. This is what the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet has done to me. I am just so not impressed, my ‘wow’ meter is at zero… NO… it is below zero. On a scale of 1 to 10 I am at a -50 on the impressed-meter. Ugh. Just ugh. What is even more disappointing is that I really wanted to like the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet, I had real big hopes for it… because it is the younger (or at least smaller) sibling of the VeDO Bam, which is a larger, slightly pricier, bullet with great rumble and good power. I really like what I’ve experienced of the VeDo Bam… so I thought for sure the Mini Bullet would take everything that made up the Bam Bullet and compress it down into a more compact package. I did not do any of that at all… the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet falls far short of the VeDO Bam in a most disappointing fashion. It is so disappointing that I’m afraid this review will be rather short… as I don’t have a whole lot to say. I mean… I don’t hate it to the point of having pages upon pages of things to rant about… and there isn’t all that much good to say about it either… its just meh. So here is a meh review for a meh toy.
My biggest issue with the VeDO Bam Mini is that it is buzzy. It’s not even the kind of buzzy that is so powerful that I don’t care that its buzzy. It’s just straight up terrible buzzy. It is also lacking in strength. There is absolutely no oomph behind the Bam Mini… like I said before, I can over look buzzy if there is power. The moment I turned it on and felt that mosquito-esque whine, I knew the Bam Mini was going to be a dud as far as I was concerned. But, I’ve been surprised by toys before… I’ve held something in my hand that I thought for sure I was going to hate only to get it against my clit and be totally surprised and proven wrong. So I tried to reserve my judgement for after I tried the VeDO Bam Mini… but oh my god… it was one of the longest, most boring test sessions of my life! I should have just stopped there… but no… I want to be thorough… I want to make sure that it wasn’t just me having an off day… I want to give every toy the benefit of the doubt and give it many chances to prove itself. The VeDO Bam Mini Bullet failed every time. It was an uncomfortable surface level buzz that never got me anywhere. Not a single orgasm was produced by the Bam Mini alone, each and every time I had to call in the big guns and finish myself off with something else (lately it’s been the Wonder ‘O’ Wand… it’s a wand thats really been growing on me more and more). Generally I prefer a toy with a lot of power, but often I still enjoy and reach orgasm with more subtle toys with a more mild or moderate strength, provided the vibrations are decent quality (like rumbly)… but the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet was just a dud through and through.
If we ignored that fact that the Bam Mini is useless for me orgasm-wise… it is a nicely put together bullet. The main body of the bullet is covered in a nice matte silicone (which collects lint like you wouldn’t believe) while the bottom cap appears to be shiny and metal-like (but quite probably just made from plastic) with a silicone button. The Bam Mini is as the name would suggest a smaller toy, however it does seem to be a bit larger than the bullet hole cavities in most my silicone dildos… so I am unable to use it for turning regular dildos into vibrating dildos of magic. Color-wise it’s pretty… I do like nice teal color… so that’s something else the Bam Mini has going for it… it’s not much, but we’ve got to find the good where we can. Also, if teal isn’t your thing, the Bam Mini is also available in Indigo and Pink.
Operating the VeDO Bam Mini is simple (hey, there’s a second compliment I was able to pay the Bam Mini!), remember that single silicone button I mentioned in the paragraph above? That’s it, that’s all there is to operating the Bam Mini. With a single press of a button the VeDO Bam Mini springs to life, continue pressing down on the button to cycle through the Bam Mini’s 10 vibration modes. The Bam Mini comes programed with three intensity levels (a low, medium and high, if you will) and seven pattern modes (not a fan).
Okay, I’ve thought of a third thing that I appreciate about the VeDO Bam Mini (Thumper taught me if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all…)! It is rechargeable! There is something quite thrilling about a rechargeable bullet… so many bullets are powered by batteries… which I hate (from both an environmental standpoint and the fact that battery bullets are usually pretty shitty… although the Bam Mini is pretty shitty… but at least it’s environmentally friendly…) so I really do love that the Bam Mini comes with a USB cable. To charge the VeDO Bam Mini simple unscrew the shiny silver cap and plug the pronged end of the USB cable into the bottom of the bullet. Easy-peasy. I do have some minor fears about the little gold prong that pokes out from the bottom of the bullet… I really worry I will do something to bend it or break it… and I’m not sure how important that little prong is… like… if I break it… is the bullet done for? I may not be fond of the bullet… but I don’t want to break the thing!
Even though I can find things I do like about the VeDO Bam… I am just so disappointed by it. It just doesn’t do anything for me at all. The surface level buzz is annoying and didn’t lead to a single orgasm (and believe me… I tried… and tried… and tried… so on and so forth for many, many attempts) so I just can’t recommend the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet at all. I just can’t… and I feel kind of bad about it… because people have mentioned to me on Twitter that they often recommend this bullet to people who are looking for a great beginners bullet. Personally, I think there are better bullets out there… like the We-Vibe Tango or the FemmFunn Ultra Bullet for example, both of these bullets are powerful and rumbly, but still have settings that I think are low/mild enough that they can be enjoyed by a wide variety of people looking for a variety of power settings! But like I said before, the construction of the bullet itself is quality, its a nicely built bullet… it just doesn’t have the kind of power or quality of rumble that I am looking for in a bullet. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who do like this thing… it’s just not me. If you think I’m being to hard on the poor VeDO Bam Mini and you really like this thing, please let me know! Not everyone has my body and my sense of taste… so sharing your experience is bound to help someone out who is more like you and less like me!
But, if the VeDO Bam Mini Bullet is still something you think you want… I’m not going to stop you… in fact, I’ll even tell you where you can pick one up at, because I’m a good sport like that! If you find yourself looking for a Bam Mini look no further than Peepshow Toys! They are excellent people and will get a VeDO Bam Mini Bullet sent your way in two shakes of a lambs tail!

I like its colour, sad to know that it’s not strong enough. Maybe it’s a great beginner bullet for virgins lol
