vamo ss build quality?

[stig1978]

Not very good. the tube under the fire button is very loose i no these are push fit. Iv tried pushing it back together. But the tube is still loose. Its only about 6 weeks old. When ya put the battery in now it just pushing the top tube up. time to contact the vendor.

welcome to the joys of china products

At least i got it from a uk vendor. twice the price. but at least i can try and sort it out with them.

Look dont get me wrong, the Vamo is a cracking device for what it is. But if its going to be an all day using VV device then splashing out £100 on a used Provari OR if you can £150 on a new one is your best bet.
They are bomb proof, and its a sad story of paying for what you get.

I also have a vamo, but its more used for chillaxing at night when in my lounge as I know it wont break if dropped on the floor.

The vamo is used as my back up. I also have a sigelei zmax. the build quilty on the zmax is a lot better. just have to wait and see how long the electronics last in it. If the zmax goes tits up as well. there is only one option left and that is to buy a provari. I might still buy a provari and use my zmax as a back up.

I wonder could you do a small enough spot weld with the right welder? Shouldnt be necessary of course, mine is fine. (If it is the SS version of course) If you could get the bits out of it you could solder it if it is brass.

2 Sec's of a job with a tig welder.

Just taken mine to bits



They are constructed differently to the brass ones.

I wonder is there any kind of adhesive you could use to do a firm fix.

[mybad]

You can use a thing called locktite this will do the job just fine .

Did you give it 5 or 6 quick hits on the button?

[mybad]

Yes I did.

[robby]

Battery slip in okay, no binding?

[mybad]

Really nice fit
