Health cabin Issues Spring warning

[Thrasher]

Dear customers,
We are very sorry to inform you that we discontinue selling eGo Bamboo APV(Stainless/Chrome/Black Chrome) for a while because the big wide spring in the cap has big resistance, which makes the Bamboo cap very hot when Bamboo is working, especially when Bamboo works at a high Voltage or Wattage with a low resistance atomizer. We are working on new good springs with low resistances and expect to get new springs ready in some days.
We will resume selling the products and their caps when the new springs are ready.
If you have Bamboos with the wider big wrong springs, please stop using the products and contact us by ticket system.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please feel free to let us know by using Help Desk and submiting a ticket.
We look forward to always being able to serve you better.

It's good that they are being proactive about it.
Ive got the skinny spring (chrome Vamo) ..I hope that one is OK

I'm not sure what Health Cabin needs to investigate other than how to save a few cents on inexpensive replacement springs. People here have posted that these springs solve both the wimpy spring problem allowing 18650s to rattle/disconnect and the larger, more robust spring/battery cap getting too hot.
HeliX hot spring
Silver Bullet/Omega - Replacement Hot Spring - now back in stock

hmm they shipped me a replacement vamo yesterday...wonder where this falls with this news

I would open a ticket just in case you do fall into the crap spring category.

People are also reporting that the Provari spring works well...and for only $1.25.

Replacement ProVari Spring

Can anyone give me the dimensions of a suitable replacement spring? i.e. - diameter at the base and total length of the spring. I'd like to find one locally, if possible.

The inside diameter of the battery end cap is 25/32" and the height of my replacement Silver Bullet/Omega hot spring is 5/8".

Thank you, sir ma'am.

Thank you, sir.

'Tis m'am but you are most welcome. Good luck on your search for a locally available spring. If you find something that works correctly that would be generally available could you please post back details? I'm sure there are many people who would prefer to pick up something locally rather than having to wait on vape mail for a proper spring.

Luckily my V2 came with the smaller spring and I haven't had this issue. I just pulled the spring and used a little tape around my batteries to prevent rattle ... lol

I received mine from Health Cabin with extra big spring. I stick it in the cap without removing the skinny default spring. Been using it without any problem for about a month now. Should I submitt a ticket?

i would...if nothing else you get a free replacement spring out of the deal maybe?

I posted this so even non HC buyers can just be forewarned, as I see a few threads talking about this and a posting like this shows they are aware and that there is a potential risk and not just some anomaly floating around.
