My Vamo V3 just ... stopped working. Wut??

[mclarkson]

I've had my Vamo V3 for about a week now, using it with 18350's and 18650's. I was getting ready to go out and changed the larger battery out for a smaller one. Screwed it back together (minus the extension) and ... it won't come back to life. No amount of clicking on any button, no amount of removing and replacing the battery, no amount of checking the tension on the spring and making sure everything fits nice and tight ... nothing gets any response at all.

Had a sigelei device do similar.
Now this is a shot in the dark but it worked for me.
I used a green scouring pad on all the threads and also pulled the spring and did the inside of cap.
Put it back together and it worked !

Try it you never know it may work .
Good luck.

If not contact vendor and mention the board inside might be dead.

Yeah, the good news is it's one week old and so will be replaced by the vendor, no problem. I haven't heard of many (of any actually) failing like that but I'd contact the vendor and get a new one. (Might take out the batt and look inside up at where the batt makes contact by the top to see if that contact got dislodged or something... the pcb might be sitting crooked in there... but if it looks funky I'd just get a new one rather than fool with it.)

Well, I came back home, gave it one more try, and it fired right up. No idea, but it's working for now. If it does it again, it's off the the vendor.

I had that issue too. Then the next day it happened again. After that I stopped shutting it off/powering it down. I finally figured it out - the fire button wasn't working right. If I held the button down while holding the Vamo perfectly upright, it worked fine; if I held the fire button down with the Vamo tilted at specific angles, it would cut out. So I could only vape holding the Vamo at certain angles.

I mailed it back to FastTech on Friday. We'll see how it goes.

Maybe you're having the same issue?

It could be that you need to raise the pin. This is fairly common on the VAMO - the pin gets depressed easily if you overtighten the delivery device, Seems to be especially prevalent with the protank.
