Are the Ultrafires protected batteries? If so they could conflict with the built-in protection in the Vamo and cause your problem.
It's better to use unprotected high-drain batteries in the Vamo. I've had good luck with Efests and Panasonics.

Have you measured the voltage of the battery with a meter when they fail? If it is 3.7 volts when it shuts off, my question is what are you charging them to?
Not to offend, but I have never had any luck with xxxxfire batteries. If they say 3200mah I would bet it is probably closer to half that.

they dont say on the website but on the batteries they say:
discharge rate, no "memory effect"
low reoccurring operation cist,
short-circuit and over current,
protection; sheilf-lief around 10
years; enviromental friendly
rechargeable battery with
re/discharging protection circuit

no im a newb and this is the first time ive used something other than an ego
its just the vamo v3 that i can check them on and it says 4.1 volts when charged and 3.7 when i get the low volts warning

They're protected batteries, that's your problem. For the future a good rule of thumb is that if it says "fire" anywhere in the battery name then they're not for the Vamo.
A quick search here on "Vamo batteries" will give you loads of info on what to get.
so im ordering some efest batteries without protection from someone other than fastech today hopefully thatll take care of my problem ..ill just save these batteries for the mech mod ive been dreaming of ordering lol
thank you guys for the help..i was worried that it was the vamo's fault and its just my inexpirienced dumb-a**ery!
lol live and learn!

OK - but the Ultrafires are still not the greatest batteries for that purpose, I'm afraid. If you have a flashlight that takes that size then they would be fine. Mech mods subject batteries to a lot of stress/drain if used with low ohm coils. High drain batteries are better.
I'm using Panasonic NCR18650B batteries in my Vamo - they perform like a champ and deliver well over a day of heavy vaping.

Your Vamo will be fine, I'm sure. With the right batteries you'll be glad you got it!
Also using the Panasonic NCR18650B on my Vamo- very impressive batts.
VV are high drain devices almost as heavy as sub ohm rebuildables. I'd stop using those batteries immediately and get some Panasonics, if you think you might get into sub ohm, go with the AWs the 1600s have a 15 amp limit but less less charge life. Never go cheap on batteries, it's never cheaper in the end. I've never had an ultrafire last more than a year but I just got 3 years out of a pair of AW IMR 1600s.
