STOP THROWING BROKEN THINGS AWAY!!!
If you have any broken vaping gear it may be possible to repair it for FREE!!
If it's under warranty contact the vendor for repair or replacement, it's your right!
If it's out of warranty I may be able to repair it for you for FREE!! (I only ask that you pay the postage).
If it's broken and you no longer want it I can (usually) recycle it.
eGo/Riva type batteries, mech mods, vv mods, depending on the fault it may be possible to repair.
Switches, connectors, threads, all often repairable.
August I repaired:
2 Vamo - broken switch 1 Vamo - atty thread snapped off in connector 1 MVP - not charging, not firing 1 eGo - short in head 1 Vamo - short in head 1 Vamo - intermittent fire button 1 Roller - broken switch
July I repaired:
1 iTaste - not firing 2 box mods - not firing 1 box mod - broken switch 1 PT - short in head 1 Riva - dead battery 1 eGo - dead board 1 eVic - not firing, not connecting
I also received donations of over 30 used cartos and assorted atties, 1 eGo and 2 vamos. All to be stripped for parts.
Any vape related items including cartos (new or used), mods, eGo/Riva type batteries, cables, parts etc. All gratefully accepted for recycling.

If I dig mine out, it will also need a new head as I decided to go caveman style with a pair of pliers and a dremmel....
Anger is not a way of making things better...
Might be a better idea to convert it into a box mod now I think of it.

STOP THROWING BROKEN THINGS AWAY!!! A choir of sirens singing in unison with heavens angels would nt sound sweeter to me just now after reading that one line . I just replaced the head on my vamo as the threads had worn down (after two to three months...go figure) which cost a fiver to buy the head plus p n p(not forgetting the head was an absolute **** to get off , also the vamo board costs nearly as much as the vamo itself.(did nt buy a board but the price struck me as a bit over the top) It really has to be said without blowing sunshine that raids offer really is very generous and id urge anyone to send spares or repairs his way.
