Hi ccmjonny, welcome aboard. There are many online and offline e-juice calculators for getting your mix right eJuice Me Up is poplular and accurate. I suggest people in the early days may like to have a stronger and a weaker mix, say 24mg and 18mg. Hit the 24mg first thing in the morning and at any time you need a straightener (after dinner etc) and vape the 18mg as standard at other times. May help with the niggles. |

I might have to call on your skills, my ex has resoldered my eVic head wires, it comes on now, great until I put a atty on it then it just dies! Ive still got to have a search through my drawer of odd bits for you found one carto so far  No probs, sounds like a head short. I'll heat shrink the connector and replace the grommet.  One carto is better than no cartos, feel free to chuck it in. PM sent |

I have quite a few batteries, I'm not sure if they are repairable or not though, if not you are more than welcome to them for parts , for some reason, I haven't thrown them away, how about leaky clearo, I have quite a few of them you're welcome to too It's all good, I can often fit a replacement battery to a good case or a switch to a good battery etc. Also grateful for any cartos, clearos etc. I can usually get at least 1 O ring, a positive pin and a grommet from a leaky clearo if nothing else.

Although if you are using a protected battery iLardyboy that will usually have the same effect. Batteries are unprotected, some days it will work ok for a while and other days it just cuts out every time I try it. Really frustrated with it as I've only had it two months. Could be anything from a worn grommet in the head to a dry solder joint on the board. I would contact the vendor first as it shouldn't be playing up soon. The Sale of goods act protects your rights within the UK. (Usually 14 days to reject an item and up to 12 months for repair/replacement). |

No worries dinamic22, at least you got a good result from the vendor. Before you know it you'll have a bucket load of spares and earache from the other half. "Why the hell do you keep all that rubbish? Nobody needs 11 empty eGo battery cases!" Or is that just me? |

I have a Vamo that definitely has something wrong with it. The power cuts out when taking a draw, I thought it could be the batteries but haven't bought any new ones yet to try. What's your diagnosis raid? Sounds like a short in the head causing it to fail safe. Have yet to get hold of a schematic for Vamo's so I start at the top and brutalise fault find my way down. Most common Vamo faults are head grommet then momentary switch. |
