My Vamo hates clearos.

[NeilSwift]

My Vamo does not like clearos. Tried three now and they just stop working.

Have taken one to bits now and the coil works OK in my Nova tank but not in the clearo housing.

Have pulled the centre pin back out in the clearo as my Vamo pushes it way too much but still no joy.

Reading 9.9 on the ohms test in a clearo but if I put the coil in my Nova it's 2.7ohms and we are good to go.

Anyone?

I think it's just certain Nova's, I've had no issues with Iclear 30s, 16's, Kanger's with an adapter, Vapeonly BCC, and a DCT tank. I did have that problem with a Neptune Vivi. It would work sometimes and then sometimes pull that 9.9 BS.

Have you replaced the center post grommet ?

Have read that thread but am unsure where the grommet should sit.

This is the centre post with grommet.

And this is the housing.

He is referring to the grommet/washer that sits under the + contact plate on the vamo itself - not the clearomizer. If you take a small eyeglass screwdriver or pocket knife w/ a point and GENTLY lift the Vamo's contact plate you will see the washer in question underneath. Just lifting the pin/plate as described should allow your clearo to make contact and work! However, for a "long term" fix, you can dig out the factory washer underneath the contact plate on the vamo and replace it with the washer that's described in Noleinthenati's posted link.

Good luck!

I'm on it. Cheers.

 

[Swampey65]

Cool. When ya do it take care to work all the way around the contact plate so it stays in the center and does not lean too far one way or the other. You'll only need to "lift" the plate a 1/16" - 1/8" max...anymore may cause it to seperate from it's wiring!

I don't like to fiddle, so I bought a 510 to ego connection and an eGo Steel Sleeve/Cone to cover the exposed threads.

Yeah I kinda gave up after a good while. Was worried I was gonna bust it.

Might go down this route. Cheers for the info.

I am having center post problems with my vivi nova.
I am mad at it. the one head stopped working
and the new one is firing but I can't get any suction lol
ANYWAY it seems to me some vivi novas are PICKY about what battery they are on.
And I've been fighting with them all day.
Gave up and put a little generic nano on my vamo xD
it looks ridiculous

My vamo hates clearos at no1 but does really well with them on no2.

Nope, but but i get panic when is happened.
I'm screw the vivi nova from the vamo and only the tank screwed out so the juice was on my shirt :/

well, you wondered off our thread, I needed answers to ur royal fam, isn't there a baby coming or something?

 

[bigbells]

My Vamo doesn't hate clearos but it likes some better than others. If you use one with a replaceable coil, like a Ce5, it's best to make sure that you screw the snot out of the coil section to make sure that when you unscrew the clearo, the whole thing comes unscrewed, not just the tank.
