I never break anything. It still fires but the screen broke, and cracked the lense a little bit. It was in my pocket and i have no idea what i banged it up against either =( So i have no idea what voltage or wattage or anything now, i just push buttons until it feels right. Now im waiting on a new Vamo from Vaporbreak.com. Hope this thing holds up until then! Im kind of impressed it still fires since the screen is destroyed...
Already broke my Vamo

Broke mine, too. The (-) button lost it's clickyness and now it's all wonky. It's making contact intermittently without being pressed.
It also takes an act of Congress to turn on after a battery swap. When I do get it to turn on, it starts acting all wonky, switching from NO1 to NO2 and from voltage to wattage, with out me pressing any buttons.
Oh well. It lasted me longer than a carton of cigs would have.
Now... what tube mod shall I buy next for my AGA-T+?

Update, left half of my screen works. Doesnt help much but i can kind of tell whats going on.
I like the Natural, and i think they look awesome with agats. I see one in my future someday
My Vamo says O when i turn it on

Sorry to hear that boys, oh well these devices were not made to last forever. With proper care (nothing against you of course) they may last longer than most expected. I always clean my connection with a q-tip when changing heads, take care not to overtighten head (just make connection), try not to drop it lol, keep battery cap threads lubed (nothing to do with longevity of the device just maintenance). We will see as it's to early to tell, I'm sure someone will get 6 months or better from their Vamo!
That is sad. Im sorry! How long have you guys had your Vamos? In my mind if you've had them for a month, its still way cheaper then smokes. I'm psychin' myself up in case it happens to me.
You could always try and replace the pcb, there is a pre-order going on

mine is falling apart in the middle seam. already sent it back once. these things are not very sturdy. but what do you expect for the price
Feel for you in every way.Had great luck is most purchases here do not own one but did have a high $ one(not available now) catch on fire in my hand the first touch of the power button and the only way to stop the fire was to reach thru the fire and take the batteries out.so do not feel too bad it could be worse.
ps- sent it back and they redesigned it in some way

Ive had it about a month yes. Really sucks. Its definitely my fault, whatever i walked into while it was in my pocket cracked the lense and broke the LCD in half. I saw the PCBs but they arent much different than ordering a new Vamo from VB, and since it still works luckily, itll make a nice backup when my new one comes. I think im going to just start using my egoevod or eroll at work again
Had the same problem, except it's the (+) button
Mine happened after dropping it on concrete. I managed to drop it many, many times, but the last time was right on the button so to speak
