Hi soulutd.

If you have an old cartomiser, that packed in, carefully pull off the 510 connector. inside the tubing you will find a `rubber grommet`, this is a perfect fit to squeeze in behind your Vamo centre pin.
Be very careful when you `prise`/`lift` out the centre pin on the vamo, you only have around 10-15mm length of electric cable.
Ease the grommet over the centre pin, then again carefully push the grommet and centre pin into the top cap.
If you have any insulation tape, put some around the cable and bottom part of grommet, before pushing back into the top plate of the vamo.
There are some photo`s somewhere on the forum showing this fix, try tips and tricks posts, or do a search.
Sorry can`t be of further help.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately i have no old cartos, that's the reason i asked for the size of the grommet, but you've been a great help, i wouldn't have known i only have around 10mm of cabling to play with.

I could blummin kiss you, oh go on i will ........ icon_kissi've read that page so many times i must know it by heart, but this is the first time i've seen the sizes of grommet, what a flippin numpty i am,  i was told i wanted 2mm x 1mm by a local B&M shop, so this is what i bought. Right then i've got 10 of these i can do nothing with, if anyone can use them i''ll pop them in the post.

I now know that i'll never be a brain surgeon, i knew that anyways as i'm the most cack handed individual on the planet, but i've just had one of the most nerve racking experiences of my life braving this centre pin, i had to put the vamo down three times i was shaking that much, then i had to go shut the windows as i was swearing worse than any laddo or laddette after a saturday night on the beer, but i've now got a working vamo with a brand new vivi nova sitting proudly on top

I've always been very wary of forums, one simple question can descend into chaos, but here everyone is so helpful, above and beyond. . I can't believe how far i've come in the few weeks i've been vaping. Me repairing a vamo who'd a thunk it
