I'm getting a Lo reading on my VAMO and it's not firing. it's not low V or ohms. Just Lo. Battery check I get 7.3 and ohm check get 2.1.
Any ideas?

I see this more and more. This seems to be due to over-tightening. Your center pin might have bit down past the gasket.
Always use a 510-EGO and tighten devices just to connectivity.

The gasket did pop out. i put it back in. I have connected several different tanks to it and still get same reading. The resistance check is good on all of them but won't fire and get Lo on display still.
I've only seen this on a super low res tank. I wrapped a coil at about .6 ohms, and it read lo every time I tried to fire it.
I changed the battery. Put in a fully charged single battery. No change.
Between VW and VV? I've tried that. went from RMS to AVG. tried one 18350 battery, 2 18350 batteries. one 18650 battery. Tried different tanks, from a DCT to vivi nova and a kanger. let it sit over night and then tried again. Just bought this thing on Monday too. got if from a B & M store but they have no refund/exchange policy. They only open 4 days a week. Going to go up there tomorrow and see if there is anything that they will do.
I know this is an older thread but i am experiencing this same problem and I think it has something to I with the spring on the cap. It i stretch the spring out it seems to work. I do have the gold spring but it gets squished or something when I have to change the battery. I need to find a better quality spring. Anyone know where I can buy one?
These springs are identical but different vendors sell them using different names. You need to pull out the bottom of the spring just a smidge so the spring doesn't fall out of the battery cap when changing batteries. Other people have reported these springs working correctly in their VAMOs and my two have worked perfectly for me since December.

i got mine at smoktek and it works perfectly...it is a little loose but dosent fall out unless you pull it or bump it while changing the battery. here is the link. Replacement cap for the Chrome Vamo APV - redesigned for proper fit in short mode. Includes new gold spring.
mine has been wonky since i over tightened my AGA -T on it...totally my fault...ill just get another one if i get it to the point it wont work at all....you can find them pretty cheap now.
The one time I had constant LO warnings, or turning itself off, it was the contact being pushed in from over tightening an atty. I pried it up just a bit with a paperclip and all was fine again. It's SUPER easy to push the contact into the gasket and not really noticeable with a visual inspection.
Whip the batteries out first.
Pull the Vamo's centre connection up (from outside, no need to strip the vamo down) using a straightened paper clip/pin,small flat screwdriver/whatever. It's a tad fiddly, do it gently and work all around it.

If your gasket is damaged, you can find replacements in used cartos, clearos, or other such devices. All you have to do is take apart the devices and you should get some similar to THESE
