Vamo gone lady bumps upwards

[chrisjw]

One of my Vamo's has busted...............

The connector in the top is loose & the rubber gromet thingy has come out...........

[Perpetua]

One of mine kept switching to Mean mode . . . so it's been bequeathed to Robby for his experiments Chris.

The other two are still working fine, I guess with the number they're churning out, there are going to be some casualties.

The small left hand button (-) went some time ago. Still works OK, but have to cycle upwards to change v/w and cant check battery voltage. Must get another.

I don't have a Vamo... but if I did, it would be broken... and if it wasn't broken already, I would break it out of sympathy for you, Chris...

My O ring came out.

Got a paper clip, prised up the centre pin (gently! as it has wires connected) mashed around with the o ring til it was approximately under the pin again and presto!

Works for a good little while, then rinse and repeat when it comes loose again.

Ideal?  No.
Safe? Possibly not.
Effective?  Certainly

The grommets tear easily, you can sometimes fix them by forcing a small O ring under the pin
but they are hard to get in there. The best solution is to take the top off and fit a new insulator
but its also a fiddly job.

The connector on my LT now reaches oven hob temperatures so I've stopped using it. The Vamo has been demoted to "work mod". Room at the top for a new VV mod?

Worry not fine sir. This happened to me and I am now vaping again. And If I can do it matey a blind monkey can.

The pin will come up and I used a pair of pinch nosed pliers to stretch it over.

Easily fixed..Drop it in to me some time and I 'll sort it..

I've managed to get the gromet back under the pin, but the pin seems loose.....It'll fire with a vision on it ( which is an ego fitting I think ), but not with the nova's, dream etc.....

OK sanjay.....Thanks for that...I'll also show you the nauti that I bought.....

I'm having problems connecting anything to the vamo. I've tried to move the connection around, sometimes it screws and sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas for a permanent solution.

Stick it in drawer and keep it for next winter ..... maybe not much cop for vaping but will save you from buying gloves
