Hi all today my protank thread snapped off my Vamo V2. I have done quite well really after reading about lots of people snapping them as this is the first in about 6 months. Have got the thread out the vamo and ordered a new base for the Protank. Is there a beauty ring or some kind of sleeve you can buy to support the tank as you get that little gap with the protank on a vamo.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Paul

Kanger protanks come with a beauty ring that fit the v5.
Fastech do the thinner ones, in fact my mini kayfun came with one.
I'm sure UK suppliers sell them as well, but they'll probably cost more.

Isn't the top ring on the V2 removable. If it is just wind it up to meet the base of the protank. If not there is a spacer available somewhere. I haven't got a link but I'm sure one will be along soon  |

No I could turn the beauty ring upto it on my old v3 but the v2 won't budge. Even got some grips on it too but it won't budge. Just been reading that someone got a normal stainless steel washer and used that which is a good idea.
I have got a beauty ring but its for the smaller batterys and Have tried it on the vamo but its too long.

Just brought some 21mm washers off ebay will give them a try. Might have to drill a couple of airholes in the top part of the vamo but will see when they arrive. Never have liked the gap as the tank can move too much stressing the thread.

Not sure who sells them, but someone has posted a link to an OCD washer which sounds like it would do the trick - it's designed to do away with the very gap you are referring to. I'm certain a forum member will be able to fill in the missing link soon for you!  I win!!!! Here's the link |

I have seen them but I think they bi expensive just for a washer and I might need 2. Will try with normal washer first.

I use an ego-thread plinth to remove the gap between mod and tank, and to give stability, on all my vamos and X6's.... pennies from ft www.fasttech.com/products/1402106The advantage of using a plinth/beauty ring is that as they are threaded themselves, they are far more adjustable than just a fixed-thickness washer |

2 puffs or 20 puffs it's up to you.
