What type of end cap spring does it have? I replaced the spring on my Vamo that was playing up & it now works like a dream 
Just would not fire after only 6 weeks. Would start to light up with a battery change, the three blinks as always then nothing dead as a door nail. Took it to the point of purchase and to be honest they were less than helpful. I don't know.
Make sure you give us your initial reaction and comparison between the two. I always love those kinds of threads.
Have you tried wiggling the positive pin in the top? The little rattle could just be a loose connection to the pos, there is a video around where a guy strips it out of the box and apart from the PCB (printed circuit board which I believe is a clone of something used from a MP3 player!?) it`s pretty basic. It could just be a broken wire feeding the top pin.
Thanks JBL-37 lifted the pin up a little and low and behold it works. So now I have a back up to my back up. I now can honestly say that I can see why the provari is so highly recommended in this forum. I think once you get the voltage dialed in correctly the juice is more flavor able.
Be prepared to replace the washer under the firing pin as it sounds like it's shorting out- common problem with the Vamo. On your new Vamo be very careful not to over tighten as this will compress the rubber washer and cause a short. Glad you got it working.
So glad for you that you got it working again! Despite getting the Provari, more mods is always good, right?
Not just you but dozens have had this issue.
Sad thing is it is not the Vamo per say but any device that does not have a fixed pin.
People are tightening Devices down to tight and crushing the Seal ring and pushing the pin in.
The rule of thumb has always been snug to contact and STOP. A little wiggle is worth a ton of DEAD.

I'm a machinist and know well how much leverage you get with a fine thread pitch. I see over-tightened hardware almost daily where I work, and often tell employees to be more gentle when applying torque to threaded things. There is one particular piece of hardware on a few of our machines, it's a sensor that is held in place with small allen head screws, and every time I have to reset the machine for a different job and move those sensors, I also have to go to my locker and get my bottle with more of those same small screws in order to replace the ones that have been stripped out by whomever was last to move them. Drives me nuts. Do your small threaded and finely machined hardware a favor and be more gentle with it!
Glad to hear that you got it working again. The Provari is a bonus. I think that my next VV will be a proveri (when I can afford it) everyone speaks so highly of it. Hope it works out for you.
the vamo is a great device, i bought one from exhale, but it got lifted from my car one night, but snapped up a stainless one from fasttech along with some rbas. great ship time, too.
