Welcome to you danny.

It's not a problem I've experienced . . . maybe it doesn't like the batteries you are using at a guess? The more techy members will advise you there.

Have you been in contact with your Vendor, if you've just recently bought it.

I've have contacted the vendor but they have not replied, since you have experienced this problem which batteries would you recommend with the product?

Hello, I've only just received my Vamo v5 and it doesn't work, when I put a battery in the shell it recognised that it was in their and the vamo logo would turn on, I would press the button five times and it will turn on, I can scroll through the menu when it is turned on but when I press the firing button it just flashes to another screen and turns off, please help me I have no idea what the problem is.

The tank I am using is a I clear 30s and the battery's are ultrafire 18650 5600 mah 3.7v
The atomiser is around 2.2 omes

Hi Danny, there is no 18650 battery that can give you 5600mah, The best that I know of are Panasonics which give a genuine 3400mah. Ultrafire are awful batteries, they are cheap, but really crap batteries. Try and get a better battery and retest the Vamo

As a general rule, most forum members here would avoid any battery with the word FIRE in them, not because of the word "FIRE" but because most of them have been tested and found to be wanting.

danny Yes Its a fake battery you have got from ebay or from dodgy vendor just take a look at the little video on my guide battery guide and im affaid this is what you have ended up with.

Use the vendors I linked in the guide to get genuine batteries and make sure you choose a suitable battery IMR/Hybrid, there is a list of recommended batteries included in the guide.
If you read it through youll be more informed when buying.

Any questions after reading just ask.

 danny aside from your batteries... It would seem your your vamo has issues! As you said it's new I'd return it to vendor (as I did!) If the're not responding try other means of contact- tel/email/pm them if they're on this forum? A post on their facebook page works wonders...
Who did you buy it from?

The flashing and it turning off is due to there not being enough power in the battery so its shutting down just like when the battery drops below 3.2V.

Its clearly a fake battery as you cant get 5600 mah batteries, even trustfire themselves don't make a 5600mah battery. So if trustfire didn't make it who did? 

Some guy in china sitting in a shed a packaging 60mah pellet batteries into 18650 cases more than likely.

with ultrafire you can definitely knock a 0 off the end and still reduce it by some more that 5600ma knock of the 0 560ma still will not be its true reading more like a 375ma I have seen them to often

ultrafire batteries keep them for a torch don't vape off them I personally wouldn't have them in the house but now you have them get a torch from fasttech and keep them for that

batteries avoid anything with the word fire just remember fire means fire them into torches only never ever press the fire button of any mod with a battery with the name fire

and buy unprotected batteries for a vamo and above all

happy vaping
