Je Joue Classic Bullet vs VeDO Bam Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Je Joue Classic is an excellent bullet vibrator overall. It has a wide power range, including gentle, moderate, and intense settings. Although some bullets have more extreme power, like the Blush Limited Addiction, the Je Joue Classic’s strength is plenty for me and will be for most people.
The vibrations are rumbly on low and become neutral on the highest settings – never buzzy. At this price point, the rumbliness is great! You’d have to bump up your budget to get something extremely rumbly like the We-Vibe Tango X.
And the Je Joue Classic’s finger sleeve makes it exceptionally comfortable and easy to use, minimizing any slight mental distractions from gripping a vibrator. Maneuvering it and pressing the vibrations in with just your fingers is an excellent, convenient touch!
The VeDO Bam is a decent bullet vibrator, and I enjoy it. But some cheaper options perform better overall.
The VeDO Bam is one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested, but it has no gentle or mid-intensity settings. And many people will need those warmup levels that it’s missing. The Blush Limited Addiction provides a broader power range and performs better overall than the VeDO Bam – at a lower price.
Besides its lack of gentler settings, the VeDO Bam performs reasonably well. It’s easy to leverage and maneuver, the medium-width tapered tip allows you to vary the surface area in contact for more precise or broader stimulation, and its silicone is smooth and comfy. But it doesn’t exceed the performance of the cheaper Blush bullet. So in this price range, I recommend it instead to most people.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Je Joue Classic has a great power range from gentle to intense. With 5 power levels beginning at a 1 out of 10 vibration strength and climbing gradually to its max power of 7.75, you’ll likely find settings at your ideal strength. The steps between settings are comfortable and small.
The gentle starting level is excellent if you need mild stimulation while warming up. And the highest setting of 7.75 out of 10 feels intense, and I can easily orgasm with it. This top strength is powerful but not too extreme or overwhelming.
It’s also more powerful than the brand’s other bullet vibrators, like the Je Joue G-spot Bullet or Je Joue Amour. Only those looking for enormous power will need more. If that’s you, you could also consider the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet or Blush Limited Addiction.
The Je Joue Classic is one of my favorite bullets, and the main reason is how versatile the wide power range is. Most people will find comfortable and enjoyable settings to take them from start to finish.
The VeDO Bam is a powerful bullet with no low or medium power levels. If you prefer intensity, it’s enjoyable! But its lowest of 3 settings is a 7.9 out of 10 for strength, so it can be jarring if you don’t start by warming up with a gentler bullet first.
It reaches a 9.5 out of 10 on high, one of the most powerful I’ve tested. However, the Bam’s power and range underperform compared to cheaper options. The Blush Limited Addiction begins softer (5 out of 10) than the VeDO Bam and finishes stronger (10 out of 10) at a cheaper price. On the other hand, if you prefer milder stimulation, try the Pillow Talk Flirty instead – a bullet with its power range focused around gentler settings.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because they’re what most people prefer. However, some people like buzzy vibrations instead, so consider what you enjoy!
The Je Joue Classic Bullet has decent rumbliness. The first 3 power settings feel rumbly. But the 2 most intense settings are neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy. So if exceptional rumbliness is your priority, consider the We-Vibe Tango X. It’s as strong as the Je Joue Classic but much more rumbly.
But if you don’t need super rumbly vibrations, the Je Joue Classic bullet can be excellent.
I only find neutral or buzzy vibrations overstimulating when they’re extremely powerful. Since bullet vibrators aren’t overwhelmingly intense (like large wand vibrators can be), I actually love neutral vibrations in a bullet – so the Je Joue Classic is one of my favorites. These neutral vibes pack a little more intensity near the surface than rumbly vibes do – I find the extra zing near the surface helps me orgasm more easily.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But this is a personal preference, so if you enjoy buzzy vibes, pay more attention to the frequency chart than the rating.
The VeDO Bam’s vibrations have a neutral feeling on its lowest two settings, and its highest setting is moderately buzzy. I personally enjoy the first two powers because I like neutral vibrations in a bullet. They provide a bit of zing while still traveling reasonably deep. But it would be nice if the VeDO Bam also had some rumbly low levels like the Blush Limited Addiction has.
You’ll need to increase your budget if you care a lot about having deep, rumbly vibrations. Most bullet vibrators in the VeDO Bam’s price range have decent, but not excellent, rumbliness. The Pillow Talk Racy is a bit more expensive, and two-thirds of its power range is rumbly.
Stimulation Precision
The Je Joue Classic provides moderately precise stimulation. Its body is 0.85 inches thick and tapers down to a focused tip. When applying firm pressure, the moderate thickness spreads the force out more than thin bullets like the We-Vibe Tango X (0.69 inches). You may find the broader spread more comfortable.
Or you can use the tapered tip to limit contact to a very small area. So, you can achieve more focused stimulation depending on how you hold it.
You can get a mix of focused and broad stimulation from the VeDO Bam. It’s wider than many bullet vibrators, so you can get somewhat broad stimulation and pressure using the side of the bullet. But the tip has a slight taper, so you can use the end for more precise stimulation. As a result, it’s pretty versatile.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Je Joue Classic is one of the most comfortable, easy-to-use bullet vibrators I’ve tested.
The finger strap is excellent! I can slip a finger through the strap, move the bullet around, and press the vibrations exactly where I want without gripping the bullet tightly. I use the strap almost every time!
When holding the bullet, the vibrations don’t travel much into my hand. And the rigid core makes it easy to leverage the Classic for firm pressure.
Something else I love about the Je Joue Classic is its excellent control system. There are 3 separate buttons to increase and decrease power or rotate through vibration patterns. Many bullet vibrators make you cycle through all the settings using a single button.
You can also raise and lower the strength of the Je Joue Classic’s vibration patterns. Many bullets only let you adjust the strength of the constant vibration setting.
The buttons take some firm pressure, but they’re very responsive, and it’s nothing too tiring. The excellent controls make finding your preferred setting quick and easy.
The VeDO Bam is a comfortable and easy-to-use bullet vibrator. It’s a great length for leveraging, and since the structure is very rigid, you can get excellent pressure.
The VeDO Bam transfers some slight vibrations into your hand. But it will only bother people especially sensitive to this.
The button to control the vibration intensity and patterns is on the bottom. You have to adjust your grip slightly during use to press the button. You must also cycle through all powers and patterns to get to the one you want. It starts on the highest strength and cycles down to lower powers as you keep pressing. And since there are 3 power levels and 7 vibration patterns, there’s a lot to tap through.
I prefer bullets that let me power up or back down to find my ideal setting. That way, if I miss the one I want, I don’t have to cycle back through everything again. The Blush Limited Addiction is a budget-friendly option with a multi-button system.
Use During Sex
The Je Joue Classic is excellent to use during sex. It’s thin enough to slip into tight areas easily and stimulates well. I’m able to keep good clitoral contact to transfer the vibes well.
At 3.7 inches long, it’s shorter than some bullets like the Pillow Talk Racy (5 inches) or FemmeFunn Booster Bullet (4.3 inches). So angling the Je Joue Classic to apply pressure takes more effort in face-to-face positions: your hand needs to be close to the action! But it’s still very doable. And I have no problem finding the right angle in spooning positions or others where I have free space in front of me.
The VeDO Bam is a great size and shape for getting into tight spaces and leveraging easily during sex.
The vibrations travel into the handle a little bit, which does not bother me much during solo use but can be distracting during sex for some. It’s all about how I hold the bullet, and I find it less distracting in the spooning position than in missionary.
I don’t notice handle vibrations as much with the Blush Limited Addiction, Pillow Talk Flirty, or Pillow Talk Racy. The Racy even has a convenient inward curve, useful for leveraging the bullet without bumping against your partner. And since they’re about the same price and are better overall, I’d recommend one of these instead of the VeDO Bam if you want something great during sex.
Noise
The Je Joue Classic is very quiet, so it’s an excellent discreet option if you’re worried about sound. We measured the Je Joue Classic’s noise level on its strongest setting at just 45 decibels. For context, my partner and I also tested whether the bullet can be heard from the other side of a closed door in our silent house. My partner could not hear the Je Joue Classic on any setting.
The VeDO Bam is inaudible behind a closed door on all intensity levels – even with its exceptional power. So it’s a safe option if you are worried about housemates overhearing.
The vibrations have a buzzy pitch, which isn’t as pleasant as deeper-sounding bullets, but they don’t bother me because they’re relatively quiet. If you are very noise-sensitive, there are quieter, deeper-sounding bullet and mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X or Je Joue Classic.
Battery Life
The Je Joue Classic is rechargeable and has an acceptable battery life. It lasts about 75 minutes on high power, which is enough for me, but you can find something longer-lasting if you need it, like the We-Vibe Tango X (105 minutes).
The Je Joue Classic recharges with a standard micro USB cable (included). So it’s easy to replace if you lose the charger – you probably already have another lying around the house!
The VeDO Bam is rechargeable and lasted 78 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power during our testing. This is impressive, considering the bullet’s high strength.
You can find other high-powered options that last over an hour but are typically more expensive. So this is a great budget-friendly option if you care about a long runtime.
Build Quality
The Je Joue Classic has an outstanding build quality. The smooth silicone feels luxurious and sturdy. The core is rigid and feels solid, like it’s built to last. But the slightly squishy tip feels lovely. The buttons seem well-made, though they have a very subtle click feel, and I prefer it when the click is more noticeable.
The VeDO Bam has a good build quality. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid and well-made. You charge the bullet by screwing off a plastic cap, which makes it feel a little cheaper. But the silicone is smooth and comfortable. It’s not quite as luxurious as some models, but it looks good, and I’ve had no issues with it.
Cleaning
The Je Joue Classic is IPX7 fully waterproof, so it’s effortless to clean. You can completely submerge this bullet while scrubbing it with soap and water without damaging it.
The VeDO Bam is completely waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. It has an IPX7 rating which means you can safely submerge it up to a meter deep for up to half an hour. So simply clean it with soap and water.
