Mark, if you do manage to get your hands on replacement head and are stuck soldering it, I'd be happy for you to send it to me and I'll sort it for you.

I was going to say that myself as i am quite good with fiddly things but thought...hmmm what if it breaks for some weird reason, do i need that hassle on my head with Mark shouting at me

LOL nah I may get a little tetchy at times, but I do understand things like that happen.

Cheers Simon that's a very kind offer. I may well just do that. I'd compensate you for your time too.

Just had a thought, vaporbreak sent me a Pink Nova (I never asked for that they just sent me it) so maybe my Vamo just jumped off the desk out of protest.

I wouldn't want anything mate

Lol, maybe it did, I can't blame it either lol

Cheers. I will put an ad up and see what comes to light then.

Thanks for everyone's input. Shame it never happened before the meet yesterday as I bet someone there would have had it out in a jiffy.

Lesson learned....don't put anything pink on your Vamo!

A flat rubber band wound around a small drill bit to the right diameter will get it out easily..

Cheers Maccafan....all systems go.

What an interesting idea. I wouldn't have thought of something like that, far less technical than my ideas too lol

Nice one maccafan!!

Glad you got it sorted Mark.

(I'll now be putting rubber band in my vape box )

[mybad]

Have you got a socket set mark ,, the type that has alan key shape bits on the end or the star shape ends , if you have all you need to do is find one that just fits in and use the next one up in size and then tap in into the hole nice and square the just unscrew it out.

[MarkS]

You know what they say about the simplest of ideas.

I would never have thought of that in a million years.

I often use a rubber band with my small pliers to get a better grip on things and save ruining threads/scratching anything!

I find the ones you get free from the postie with vape mail perfect

I always have several rubber bands at hand for mods and atties that have become too tight, ggts and Odysseus are notorious for it.

It was a red postie one that did it

I always save them too....also the posties seems to dump a load of them on the stairwell of my apartment block.

All your and everyone elses ideas awere all workable but not for a klutz like me...the rubber band bit just gave me that bit of confidence that I wasn't going to damage it much more.

Thanks for your offer before too Simon. Very much appreciated.

Mark, have only skim read this thread but I have vamo head spare if you still want it ... it's a bit plier-chewed but probably serviceable

remove the top head drill out the whole connection replace with an ego to 510 adapter and bolt it from the bottom resolder centre wire.
just a suggestion i did this with a couple of lavatubes and my z max with success not sure how much room there is on the vamo but looking at mine i reckon its do-able
wanna send it to me to have a try?

edited skipped a page didnt realise you were sorted 
that maccafan always come up with ingenious ideas well done
glad you are sorted
