Hey Heavy,
On my Vamo (probably a knock-off) the 510 connection sits about an 1/16 inch below the outer housing. My Vivi seems to attach OK but the ohms read 9.9 on the Vamo. That means it is not making the connection. I have tried with both my Vivi's. All my other devices work great on the Vamo. If I eventually want to use the VN I will have to get an adapter. I use the my LT and Twist with the Vivi's for now. Bottom line, it the connector is level to the outer rim you should be fine.

Where did you get the Vamo from rotku? I use vivis all the time with mine. Have you thought about returning it for a replacement?

I got mine from VaporBreak in China. They had a sale a few weeks back and I got the kit for about 26 USD. It works fine, no complaints. I mainly use a tank which has no problems. Only the Vivi does not make the connection. I just do not want to part with it while waiting on a replacement. I ordered an adapter which will make the Vivi usable. The adapter thing is not a dealbreaker for me.

I haven't bought anything from VaporBreak. Yeah, I can understand. I have a Bolt that came with a low centre post. All attachments work ok but I have to use an adapter with the Bolt and the vivis. I was offered a replacement but didn't bother.

If I put a vivi nova on my vamo it will not work. The connection in the vamo is lower than it's supposed to be. So when I screw the VN onto the vamo I get 9.9ohms and also it fits flush with zero gap for air. Therefore I can not even take a draw. I normally use the VN as a backup but can't on the vamo. Does anyone know a fix for the issue

Check to see if the positive post on the Nova is pushed in ... might have to pull it out a little. If that doesn't work, then your 510 connection is semi-faulty on the Vamo. (if other devices work fine then this is NOT the case)

Try pulling the post/pin on the Nova out a little bit ... bet that's the problem.

Here's what to do:
Unscrew the atty head of the nova. Take a straigtened out paper clip or some thing similar and poke down in the tube onto the metal post. That will protrude the 510 connector pole out the bottom of the tank. Push it out sufficiently until it makes connection with your vamo when you screw it on.

Thank you Kemosabe!! :D
I had an issue with the post on my Nova not making a connection. Your solution worked perfectly :thumbs:
I had been trying to use a micro screwdriver to pry the bottom of the post down. Never thought about going thru the tube :facepalm:
Now I am back to enjoying my Vivi on my Vamo :vapor:
