The original folklore shows vampires had no need to avoid the sun, it did not burn them whatsoever, and in fact they were capable of walking in sunlight.
In mythology, vampires avoid sunlight, crosses, holy water and sometimes water. Overexposure to any of these can kill a vampire. In reality, vampires mainly avoid sunlight/bright light and loud noises. A vampire in reality has heightened senses and has great difficulty tolerating solar radiation. Non-fiction vampires can be killed in the usual methods.
The vampenze kill their pray before they drink; vampire do not, they knock them out, and take a sip. When a vampire crosses paths with a vampeneze, vice versa, their ways may get them into battle.
