To solo over an E5 vamp, you can use any scale or mode that contains both E and B. It's that simple!
You can use
E Lydian - E, F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#
E Ionian (major) - E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#
E Mixolydian - E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D
E Dorian - E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D
E Aeolian - E, F#, G, A, B, C, D
E Phyrgian - E, F, G, A, B, C, D
These are the E Modes that have a natural 5th (B). Notice that they are similar, but they all give different results.
E Harmonic Minor - E, F#, G, A, B, C, D#
E Melodic Minor - E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D#
E Phyrgian #3 - E, F, G#, A, B, C, D
These are three other scale choices. There are MANY others. Just use anything with both an E and a B.
Have fun trying these out.
