Yes, being an inveterate tinkerer, I saw them sat there and thought, "now they could come in handy, and you can never find one when you want one", and they have been handy over time, and this was just one more lucky time. It was a bit like inventor or tinkerer's shinyitis I guess. 

I'd guess you could prossibly pick them up in smaller amounts all over the place in the DIY sheds too.

They look very similar to the other ones linked to. Have you tried one?

Thanks for the link.

Welcome, hope you have as much luck with it as I am having.

I found you can sort of tweak it a bit too, just apply gentle pressure to the ring and it sort of adjusts how tight it is in one spot or another.

It seems you can endlessly play with the ring like that and get all sorts of differing effects! 

Thanks for very quick reply Fred, appreciate it, I just read about expansion in nichrome and it has me a bit bothered (not very newb friendly I suspect), so I may just have to go to another place which has some Kanthal stock! Oh Gawd! 

There is always something isn't there! LOL 

Well done Sir! What a lovely post too! It gave me the feeling that we might all be able to get away with this eventually.

Hi all,

Been reading up on loads of fixes for this, yet I still see people saying they have a problem.

Well I think I may well have solved it, for those who have a V1 Protank and a V2 Vamo at least, and quite probably for a fair few others I'd guess.

I went nuts and broke out an 'o' ring from a box of them I bought on Amazon.

With the tank already fitted to the Vamo, the o ring is simply slid down the tank until it hits the step where the two diameters differ. I use my finger nail just to snug it right down to bear onto the top surface of the Vamo.

As far as I can work out the air is likely now only drawn though the gaps in the knurling pattern on the tank base, and I have found that limits it to being about as tight as my evod, and very probably a little more tight again. Flavour feels enhanced and, gurgling gone, and just one pop per draw, no great amount of crackling now either. however my hearing is no longer all it could be and yours might well be better! LOL  

Here's a pic (hopefully - first go at this)



The box of 419 rings by Brookstone presently costs £9.99 on Amazon, so let's just call this my two pence worth in trying to solve the draw for those who'd prefer something a little tighter! 

Hope it helps somebody, enjoy!

A handy list, and thanks very much indeed for it!
