Err, I think I blew up my Vamo!

I have always used flanged cartos. I thought they were convenient and gave leverage when swapping cartos. I got myself a new 22 IBT but couldn't find any flanged standard punched so I got the non flanged as I read somewhere here that the fit was so tight they wouldn't slide off. Well, not only did it slide off, I lost half my tank into the well of my vamo and it made a loud 'pop'. I immediately pulled the battery flipped it upside-down to drain and left the room hoping it would all be better when I returned home. Now I'm home and afraid to slap a battery in the thing to see if it works.

What have I done? The well area looks deeper than it was before this happened also. No camera to take a shot at the moment.

Thanks,
Gwendufus

Edit/update:

It works fine.. whew....sticking with the flanged cartos for now.

I put an eGo thread cover in mine to prevent the tank from sliding down into the well. Works pretty good.

Thank god leaving the room and hoping for the best worked - I'm going to start trying that from now on
