If you're ready to re-wick it, maybe try blowing through the mouth piece - a bit of reverse pressure might do the trick. If not, if it's stuck solid you might have to apply a bit of heat - I had to do this with one of the FT drippers, just be careful not to damage the (crappy) O-rings :)

I think i would have to be really careful when applying any heat ian, after all it is only aluminium. I will wait till it is empty i think, then just try some brute force.

You could just wrap a load of tape around it and lightly grip it with some mole grips so it doesn't scratch, then wiggle the grips to try and free it. Or maybe leave it to soak in some hot water for a bit see if that helps.

The tracking has been down most of the day claire, It happens sometimes. Is your tvs being carried by H/K post ? if it is that explaines the wait.
Nope, SP - should be in this country by now, she actually left SP on 7th. My other 2 orders are still languishing at SP, hopefully they'll be shipped together and I'll have a load of toys to coil and play with at same time :D
Is there a better VV that has 510 & ego threads and takes 18650 & 18350 batteries?

Just get it - can't go wrong with a Vamo!

Nah, the AGA T2 is fried :/ I've recoiled her 3x already and not a reading or a puff of smoke. I've got another coming in, so I'll compare them closely to see what looks out of place.
I agree with Ian Lisa, could be the connection, mine wouldn't fire on mini zmax.
Anyhoo, i gotta log off for a bit now see ya later.

Ta ra mate, see ya later.

I read that if you wait until they are available, then you STILL see a 5-7 day wait because you ordered behind a host of other customers. I have experienced this as well, waited the 5 days for them to be in stock and then my package sits saying 'stocking' another week :/ I just order and wait the initial 5 days now.

I've got a Vamo in Black Chrome VAMO V5 - Black Chrome It's sooooooooo heavy for me that I've only used it 1-2 times. I guess it vapes like the eVic or any other VV/VW.

Have you tried the aga on more than one mod Lisa ??

I'm just wondering if the 510 connector isn't making proper contact.

I've tried to use it on multiple mechs, it may show a 1.8oHm on a VV/VW, BUT it never fires on them, only on a mech. I've lifted the firing pins on several mechs thinking it could not be making contact since the little washer came out of the bottom part that hits the firing pin to no avail. I just need to sit it aside and look at it later with fresh eyes =]

The Vamo is a fairly hefty beast, so be prepared for a heavy weight mod. It's probably one of the easiest VV/VW mods to use, menu wise. The stainless steel is the best option, I have the chrome black V2 - it's still going strong, but the black has rubbed off in places. I'm not too bothered, because it shows I'm using it :)

If you want something similar, with the same features, that's not as heavy and is telescoping (instead of using extra tubes for bigger batts), I'd also recommend the Innokin SVD. The menu is a little bit more complex than the Vamo, but easy enough to work out.

But the Vamo is still a cracking work-horse ;)

Thanks All. Decided to go with the iTaste SVD as suggested by Ian. I think it will still be hefty once I add the Fogger V2, as the Fogger is heavy by itself.

I got the 16 hole one mate, just enough for some mods and liquids:)

Well, I've gotten my 2 FastTech stands in

Acrylic 32 Hole Display Stand for E-Cigarette - fits devices up to 63/64"(25mm) in diameter
Acrylic 16 Hole Display Stand for E-Cigarette - fits devices up to 63/64"(25mm) in diameter

and there are problems... Firstly, it comes assembled, with the little plastic legs glued in place =] I had two broken legs that I had to reglue in place with Gorilla Glue. Secondly, some mods like the Sentinel, K100, K101, and the TVS don't fit. You must attempt to find a hole that is a tad larger than the others and wiggle it into place. Finally, once I begin to put the mods in... the stand flips over LOLOLOLOLOL I guess I could have it screwed DOWN onto something, but it kind of defeats my purpose, eh? Even the eGos, although lightweight, either tip it over as well or just slip sideways through the hole :p I'll have to think of something to do with them :/ I haven't much room on my desk at the moment for displaying my mods, I prefer to have a rotation with toppers that I am currently using and quite a bit of juice displayed for easy refilling.

It has to be a problem with that little washer then Lisa, if that's the only thing that's changed since it was last working ok.

I'm sure you'll still be able to fill it mate.

To be honest, I think you'll be surprised how small it is with an 18350 battery in it. Plus it is a bit easier to grip because of the shape, whereas the Vamo can get a bit slippery, with it being so smooth. It's a cracking device though, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

Lisa, does it look like the holes could be opened up a little with a dremmel or maybe a round file. I'm just wondering if that might be an option for the mods that won't fit. I'm hoping mine survives the journey intact - I did order it with the extra protective box though, cos I was worried about it being shipped fully assembled. I don't have any smaller tubes now, like the egos. But if I find a solution to the tipping problem, I'll post on here - even if it means bolting it down :laugh:

Well, I've done a bit of rearranging/cleaning on my rebuilding area, drawers, and containers in an effort to use this display stand. Lo and behold! My old eyes spied AGA's lost NUT! LOLOLOLOL Feeling that luck was in my corner, I've taken my girl, AGA apart, refitted her washer and I've given her a good soak. I'm waiting for her to dry before putting the old girl back together, but from what I can see, the washer was once a part of a rubber tube that the center pin slid through. Once she's dry I'll put her together and see if I can make a go of her with the rubber tube and rubber washer in 2 pieces.

You are correct in thinking the holes can be enlarged! Some are actually a bit larger than others, oddly enough XD Mine came with cardboard pieces surrounding the stand, but it is a fragile piece. The Gorilla Glue worked wonders, so I am quite pleased with it now =] I've just got to get used to pulling my rotating mods from the stand instead of from my desk. I usually have them lined up and in a leaning postion as I vape one after the other since they tend to heat up when I chain vape.

What springs to my mind is...A big chunk of blu-tack under each leg, then pushing firmly down onto your desk lisa; This should at least stop it tipping over.

I may be wrong, but worth a try eh ?

Now that I've got a good number of mods in the stand it's stable. It's just the first few that tip it over. I've got enough extra spaces to put some batteries in the slots so that when I have to recharge a battery from a rotating mod, I've got a spare right up front =] I'm quite happy with it now <3

Yes it is good to have things organized lisa,

I have got all my mods lined up on a bookshelf and i have knocked 1 or 2 off a few times lol. It is ok when they fall off the front, i just need to pick it up; but if any fall down the back it means i have to move all the furniture to pull the bookshelf out which is absolutely full.

Well you just need to get the old girl up and running again now lise:)

Where to put stuff? In this modern age of getting more & more stuff the big problem is where to put it all.

The hardest thing to do is discard stuff, even though it may not be stuff that you like or even see a use for in the future.

Space & stuff. This problem is only going to get bigger if we want people to continue to buy stuff. We'll just have to make desirable things smaller.

And there, in a nutshell, is the business model for the last 10 years. :)
