Back ups for back ups failure...

[lynwlt]

...and just when money is really tight for a while.

My trusty, admittedly elderly, Vamos have both died. One suffered a fall from my desk to the floor; the other simply fell over and banged his nose on my desk.

This was the day after my Zmax suddenly stopped cooperating with any battery that I introduced it to, and the same day that my mini Provari decided to do the same thing.

No lights on any of their displays/horizons!



Even my Morr Cran (sp) button is sticking..

Before I rip my house apart looking for my GGTB and GG Slim, can anyone tell me where the cheapest VV/VW in UK is to be found?


Think I might have to take a better look at mechanical mods for the future....


Sad in Southampton.

Take a deep breath, make sure all your batteries are charged and start trying them again. Make sure all contacts are clean and any centre pins are pulled up enough.

Also check you are using a nipple top on the Provari, by the law of averages you should be able to coax at least one into life.

also clean the connections on your batteries

[lynwlt]

Oh Des,

I've done all that...

I've had a momentary success with my youngest Vamo, who must be at least 2 years old..

I tapped his left eye very gently with a knife and he has decided to cooperate. (smart boy!)
He was the one that banged his nose and got his buttons stuck, right in the middle of a night shift...

I'll have another charging/cleaning/ tweaking session later and see what transpires....

And of course this would have to happen when Ronaldo is MIA..

Where abouts are you lynwlt? south where?

I can always lend a vamo v5 til ur back going again.

[Marcus]

Glad to hear you have got something working again


When you find the GG slim, would love to see a pic of it if possible, by far my most sought-after mod I've never been able to aquire.


Very jealous

[lynwlt]

Oh Tom,

What a sweet offer!

I think it's probably best that I decline though, given the way my luck is going at the moment..

I'd hate to borrow something and then curse it with the kiss of death.

I'm hoping that the vamo that I have managed to revive will keep me going until payday.
If it does fail then I have an Ego battery that holds a charge..

Thank you so much.

you're welcome

Marcus.

Mine has a 901 connection and I only ever used it with a 901 carto.

I love it but the battery life was pants.
I much preferred the vape from a 901 to that of a 510.

The same story really as VHS versus Betamax.
Betamax was better quality but somehow lost the race....

When I find it I'll post a picture for you..

I thought they were still being sold?

[smifee]

lynwlt the Mor Crann button will just need cleaning.

I find the performance drops off telling me when it needs cleaning.

The new version has a different button.

If you want an emergency backup Angie has 6 2200mAh Egos she has told me she doesn't like. "They are too fat" They are just sitting in the vape cupboard unloved.

If you want one send me a PM and Angie or I will deliver.

If you ever want to let that gg slim go give me a shout

[lynwlt]

Just an update..

A second clean has put new life into my Provari...

Just need to see if zmax and Vamo are repairable now.

Thanks every one for support and advice.

Now all I need to know is how to clean the switch on the Mor Crann...

[Karma]

Pleased to hear that lynwlt my Provari doesn't like manky batteries, I got quite a shock the first time I cleaned them, don'y know where the mank comes from ???

Yep, the communists ruined my Provari.

..in the dream I had whilst snoozing on the train in China to the Sigelei factory.
