Or am I just being thick? My new vamo v3 has arrived, I understood compatible with 18650 batteries. What I have for the Vamo is 4 pieces: the top bit with connector and system screen: the bottom bit with Spring: and two detachable extension pieces. If I use 1 of these extensions my 18650 is too long, when using both extensions the 18650 is too short. Am I missing something please folks?

How can it not fit? The spring allows for a lot of wiggle room in battery heights, unless yours is short? I use both tubes and mine fits fine. Those aren't custom made so it has to fit.
What battery are you using?
Protected ICR batteries are slightly longer in length due to the added protective circuitry. You don't need to use protected batteries in a regulated mod like a Vamo because the processor already has built-in protective circuits, and will perform much better with an IMR or hybrid "high drain" battery anyway.

"Vamo" more like a style of battery device, since it is made by different manufacturers. If you search for pictures of the Vamo, you can find some with colored plastic buttons and other differences, but those are mostly older versions.
In looking through pictures there appears to be more than one body design for the V3.
#1 seems to be the most common. It has 2 extension tubes of the same size. Mostly likely 1 is for an 18350 and with both an 18650 would fit.
Vamo V3 - $49.99 - Vapor Vapes E-Liquids - Best Vapes
#2 - But then there's this strange creature. The extension tubes are two different sizes. It doesn't look like they would be used together. It appears that the shorter one would be used for an 18350 and the longer one (by itself) for an 18650.
APV Vamo V3 - Black Chrome Finish
I could be completely off base about this being your issue, but when I saw the 2 different designs it occurred to me that if you had the second one, putting the 2 tubes together (which seems logical) would make it much too long for an 18650.
Anyway, I figured it was worth a shot. Good luck.

My Efest 18650, is about 1/4" from the bottom when I plunk it in...the spring is fine but if I set it down hard vertically it can sometimes disconnect and I have to turn it back on
