anyone tried replacing PCB yet

[Equality 7-2521]

Hi all,

I noticed Kidney Punchers is selling the PCB chip for the Vamo 2. I was wondering if anyone has tried putting in a new chip into their Vamo, and how it went, and what the pitfalls might be.

Should not be any pitfalls. Have you seen Vamo first impression and disassembly how to - YouTube does not look very hard at all.

top cap is a pain to get off..even rnoserious stated he had his loosened before the video..I had to use a bench vice and 10 minutes to get mine off..marred the hell out of the finish..ended up making it a switched device (bolt) and ordering a new vamo..price of the board with shipping wasn't worth it when I saw the price at vaporbreak

Yeah I saw the video, but I couldn't see how the board was powered up. you could see the leads going to the 510 connector, but I couldn't see any leads coming into the board.

Well it's like rba's sure there's a huge learning curve, but once you get past that, it's a breeze.It's not so much the money but the ease, and independece,what if you're vamo quite working for whatever reason, and you had a couple of chips laying around, you could be up and running in a hour instead of waiting days.I'm not into collecting devices or treating them like collector items, they have to work well, and take a beating, or be rebuildable.

I just moved on to mechanicals..and use my new vamo for light duty with clearos etc..if this vamo goes down I won't buy another..you just can't beat a mechanical for durability and dependability..i've learned to loathe anything with a circuit now as i've been let down way too often..

I hear you I just got this Vamo, but it's hard to put down my natural, maybe a kick will be my answer, but 10 watts isn't enough.

nope it's not..RBA's are what's up on a mechanical..once I moved to them mechanicals were the next step..wrapping the coil to suit your preferred wattage is great..the kick just brings a circuit back into play and i'm not down for that..defeats the purpose for me..and I vape at 20-30 watts so 10w yeah ain't cutting it lol
