ISSUES VAMMO V2/BATTERY

[beerme]

Hi All,

It seems like I may have a problem with my new Vammo V2 and/or 18650 Ultrafire 2400mah battery.

Both are brand new, picked up from P/O 7am this morning.

Here's the issue;

When I turn on the Vammo, (5 clicks), the screen lights up EVERYTHING , (888 and all the 'V' / 'W's etc). This could possibly be down to low batt, although it has been on charge for a few hours now......

This happens most of the time, I did get one vape out of it, prob the second time it was turned on, then it died, subsequent switch ons have resulted in the above, one time, or two, 'lo' batt has been indicated....

I'm thinking either batt needs a proper charge, or Vammo is knackered.

Anyone have experience of this?? Any ideas??

???

Have you got another battery you can try?

Has it got the new large spring?

Or you atty could be too low Ohm?

[beerme]

No, it has the older small one....

Makes no diff if attached or not...one time I did mangage to get an OHM reading, 1.7..

You need another spring! Get in touch with the vendor, some are supplying them free.

I would also invest in another battery, these ****fire ones always overstate their capacity!

It could be the spring, when I had my first one I had the same problem. The battery was moving up and down so kept losing connection. Have you got a LT or something similar with a large spring in it you could try?

Id try stretching the spring a little,
I also read someone who had a v1 spring gave it a rub along with the cap base with some fine sandpaper and it sorted his problem, it seemed to be a connection problem,
Your problem could be different and it may not work but its worth a try.

Deffo the spring. You need one of these jobbies.....................

I was aware of the spring issues, it is deffo not a connection problem.

OK, I can't tell if it is the batt or the Vammo, but something is seriously wrong...if it is connected to USB for charging and the Vammo is turned off by using 5 cliks of button, this instantly bricks whatever computer it is connected to! This has happened 3 times now, with my laptop, I have to disconnect the power and battery for about 10 seconds before I can turn it back on.

I know connecting to PC USB is not ideal for charging, but this should NOT happen.

I have another batt on the way to me, I will test with it when it arrives and so should be able to pin the problem down to one or the other...

I will update when I know more.

Are you trying to charge the battery in the Vamo through a Ego charger?

Hopefully maccafan will stumble across this thread & maybe put some light on it for you.
