I just used a SmokTech RSST on my brand new Vamo V3 and now nothing else will work with it. ...??? Can someone please tell me why this happened and what I can do to fix it??

Did you screw it Down Hard to make it work when you used it?

You might have Pushed the Center Post Down?

That's what I think happened. If so how do I fix it?

First Thing to do. Take the Battery/batteries out of your Vamo.

Now you need to Raise the Center Post. Some poke the side of the Center Pin with a Stiff Pin or Needle and try to pry it Up Slightly. Might need to do it at 12, 3, 6 and 9 O'clock

Other people use Tweeters and Gently Up straight up on it.

Either way, you don't need to Lift it Much. So Go Slow.

This also happened to my Vamo and I raised the center pin also, but it eventually stopped reading attachments again, it wasn't until I went to home depot and replaced the O ring that it became a (hopefully) perm fix. So just be careful with the screwing for now but just remember if it goes out again to look at replacing that O-ring.

Cool. Good to Hear your Back in Business.

No Thanks Needed. I get 250 Good Karma Points for Every mod I can Help get Up and Running Again.

And that a Good thing cause I'm working on Balancing the Scales after that School Bus/Nun thing.

BTW - Learn from what Happened.

Before you Screw Anything onto a PV, take a Quick Look to Make Sure the Center of the Atty or Clearo or rba isn't Sticking Out much more than the Threads.

And NEVER screw anything down Tight. Just Firm. Never Tight.
