Hi Guys, got a nice shinny Black Chrome VAMO today from Vapescape (top supplier) and some freshly charged AW 18650's. I can't get it to start up. I popped the batteries in and the display flashed 3 times no readings on it and I can't seem to get it to power up. I have a fresh Dual Cart and tank on it. The cart and tank works on the Don and LT showing 4.2v. I've pressed the button 5 times but still no joy? Am I having a early senior moment? Any ideas?
many thanks

Many people have stuck a magnet to the negative end to extend the length a bit and some have put a bigger spring in..

I find it can take me a couple of try's to get the Vamo switched on, unless I do the 5 times thing just right. My Vamo has the longer spring V2 installed and the AW's fit just fine.

Jason has the end caps, which I'd think will be the ones with the longer springs? www.vapeescape.co.uk/vamo-spare-battery-cap~474

The vaporbreak ones do appear to have the longer spring and are V2..
