Ok so I got the nitecore i4, 4 18650 batteries at about ten this morning. Through em on around 11 got home around 4 and they lights had turned solid so I assumed they were charged. Then I used one up untill now 1am and it displayed my ohm at 9.9 then said low v. This is where the issue arose. I try all my other batteries there all saying low v. So I put them back on and the lights are blinking. So how did my batteries discharge themself. It seems like a concidence it happend and now there all low v. Did something happen to my Vamo, did the batteries discharge, do I have the meaning of the lights wrong. Please help me this has ruind my day if my Vamo is shot already I will be upset. Batteries are 2000mah efest 18650.

What kind of batteries did you get?
My Nitecore has a 3-bar display--when all three bars are yellow and stop blinking, the battery is fully charged. Do you have a volt meter?
What did display your ohms at 9.9? High ohm reading means that your atomizer is dying.
If your atty reads a very high resistance (K Ohms, M Ohms.. or infinite Ohms) then it is "open," which means it's dead.
If it isn't "open", but reads substantially higher than the stock numbers.... it is fixin' to go open--just as bad.
Zero Ohms indicates a short.

I agree with Katya, the issue is more likely to do with your atomizer rather than with the batteries. Change your topper or coil (or re-wrap yourself a coil) and try again.
If you have known working battery, put that in your Vamo to see if it works.
It's a process of elimination, but my bet is a fault with what you are screwing in to your Vamo.
Just a word about charging. I personally wouldn't leave batteries charging unattended. I do put them in and go about my business in the house but just know that things can go wrong. I wouldn't charge them when I knew I wouldn't be around for a few hours.

I guess its an issue with the center pin of my vamo and the o ring I saw a thread on here. So great, my mod dead not 24 hours in.
You can try to revive that vamo by pulling up the center post pin carefully...I emphasize on carefully because you don't want to ruin it anymore than it already is. You can use a flathead to pry it out or use needle-nose pliers to pluck it a bit out so it can make contact with your atomizer.
What does it do without the atty on it?
If not the atty sounds like you should send it or take it back, which ever applies..
Ok. It says on here try to push the o ring under and I didnt want to do it to void it. This sucks so bad I always get something I am so excited for and it always breaks.
Once I screw any of my 4 tanks on past a certain point it says low v. Then displays ohm at 9.9
Hmm... I don't own a Vamo, but it sounds vaguely like it might be a connectivity problem. The center post of your atty doesn't make proper electrical connection, perhaps.
Is Vamo your only battery at the moment? if not, you could try those circuit board spacers from MadVapes--they fix all connectivity problems. No need to mess with that center pin. But it will take time (and I hope madvapes ships to Canada).

How old is your Vamo? Is it still under warranty? Contact the seller--they should replace it if it is.
I went through two vamo setups with that center pin being bad. If you crank your atty on to hard it busts it. Finding the right o ring is a pain and trying to get it to fit is even more of a pain. You can raise the center pin just slightly but it will drop down even now and then. I like the vamo v5 but hate that center pin
Usually when my vamo 5 says 9.9 it telling me the atty coil is open. Try another atty and I bet it works. Once I was able to unscrew the atty and clean the base, screw it back on and it worked. Every other time I had to rebuild or replace the atty coil.
9.9 means the atty isn't making contact. You have to find a stupid happy medium. It can be frustrating when it is your only setup.
So does the Vamo work. Will my new one do the same. Im going to get an mvp 2 and a provari but thats going to need to wait a few months
A #60 o-ring from home depot should get your vamo going again. The trick is to work the o-ring over the center pin head such that it holds the center pin up further. I've not done it myself but had a local vape shop perform the surgery on my wife's first vamo. FYI, wife and I own 8 vamo's and have had only one that needed this done to them.
