vamo getting really hot

[bomberharris]

At 2.8 ohms i doubt you would be able to vape it at 3.5 w so it must be 3.5 v , try changing it to watts and try it at 7.5 watts 8 watts it should be fine

Try testing the vamo without an atomiser, switch on as if vaping a few times and see it gets warm.

Still going hot pressed for 5 seconds left for 5 seconds done a few times

When you do that without the atty on, can you check the resistance? It should say 9.9 ohms

The only other suggestion I have would be to put another battery in, there is always the possibility of the battery going dodgy.

I never seen this post sounds like theres somthing wierd going on, does the centre pin look central, or there again it could be a dodgey battery.

Really strange, if you leave it for 5 minutes, does it cool down?

The spring wont cause the top to get hot.

I suspect the 510 connector is dirty and causing increased resistance. Clean the connector on the vamo and on the atty, an alcohol wipe is good for this.

Not done this, will give it a try, does not look dirty, but will give it a clean anyway see if that works

[bomberharris]

PLEASE TAKE THAT BATTERY OUT,If its still getting hot with no atty on it, it maybe the battery, don't want a big bang there summer ... :-S

Yes if I leave it it cools down, but minute I start vaping it goes hot again, cleaned connections, no joy, tried another battery, same thing, its hot from just above window up so nova going hot too.
I guess no one else had this prob

[bomberharris]

has any liquid leaked into it summer..

Sounds like a problem with the control circuitry, first one I have heard of, there is a chance that it is a short (or bad connection to the atty connector), but that would require stripping it down. It can be done but isnt easy without damaging it (scratching the vamo badly). Do you have a spare vape device to keep you going Summer?

take the atty off and do another reading on the resistance. If shorting or wires loose it will read 0.0 (or read Lo) not 9.9 if without an atty

d'oh - edited to say just read a previous entry on this ...


out of interest, have you dropped the Vamo at all recently?

[summerof0763]

Am using my twist now, though it new batteries I bought when I bought the vamo from group buy
