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?

No have never dropped it, have taken battery out though its not hot, will leave it tonight and try it again tomorrow, I would not know where to start on stripping it down, nor would I know what Iwas llooking for, thank you everyone who is trying to help me fix it, love n missing my vamo

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

I dont know how you feel about this, but I would be willing to have a look at it for you, it would need posting of course. I do know what I am talking about and have stripped a few of these down. Offer is there, just cost you the postage both ways .

Might be an idea to leave it in the airing cupboard or somewhere warm overnight so if any liquid has got inside it, it will get a chance to dry out

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

In that case it looks like it is a fault in the vammo. It could be the end of the battery getting hot so if you the remove the battery and check if it is hot at the end then battery is likely your problem, but I suspect there is a short in the electronics when it is switched on.
I doubt it is the battery as it is no where near the top. At 5 watts it would take a long time to heat the metal vammo up , a lot more than 5 seconds so I would tread very carefully with this as could be overloading your battery.

Time to return to the vendor, but if sourced from China...not sure what the story is.

Sorry, post above has all been covered. I did refresh to see if there were updates but never saw all of them.

I bought it in the co op vamo buy, not sure if anyone else had a problem and not sure how would go about sending back?

[Brambles]

Robby is the expert at all things china, but the coop was sadie22 wasn't it!!? Anyway she might know what to do as she organised and will have order details etc and should know what guarantee Heath Cabin had on these. Health cabin do seem to have quite a good warranty, but is complex to do. You need to return to them and then order another and do something complicated putting purchase through as a worldpay or something and put a note in saying it is a replacment and not actually pay anything. You have to pay for return postage though but worth doing if Robby can not repair it.

If Robby knackers your Vamo, I'd be happy to put it in a tin mod for you !

(No offence to your pliers skills, Robby, just backing you up !)

No offence taken Ash lol

I didnt realise it was part of that group buy, if it has been taken to bits it will nullify your warranty for sure. Maybe best checking out that situation first, you could get a new one. You never know, you may not even have to send it back to them in which case we could have a go at fixing it and you would have a spare. Let`s see what happens in the morning after it`s rest night in the airing cupboard

[summerof0763]

Have emailed sadie just so she is aware, not sure if she has been on or not.
Vamo tucked up in the airing cupboard having a wee rest.
God am missing him, not the same using my twist or riva, so here's hoping he is revived in the morning
