New Vamo V3 - noob question

[kemal007]

Hello everyone.

I've been vaping for a couple months now, I started with an Ego-S and some local clearo's. I have since moved to protank 1s and a mini protank2 (love this), as well as MT3S (which I love too). I also have an iClear 30.

Today I got vapemail from fasttech and now am happily vaping with a Vamo V3.

My question - the ring on top of the vamo doesn't seem to line up with my protanks or my iClear. There's about an 1/8th inch gap between the bottom of the protank and the ring.

If I spin the ring up to close the gap it comes off the threads before it touches the bottom of the protank.

Is this normal? Is there an adapter that I can use to close the gap? While the direction card in the V3 kit shows two rings mine only came with one.

With ring at bottom of threads



With ring extended but now off it's threads.

I've heard of this happening. There have been problems with the threading of the Vamos at the 510 connection. The problem was suppose to be resolved. I find this out after I placed my Vamo3 order. I'm still waiting on mine to come in.
In any case, look to make sure the threads aren't cross threading on your clearo bases. I'm not sure how to alleviate this other then taking the head off and "running" the threads with a tap.

both my pt 1s and 2s go down a bit further.. not all the way flush with the ring.. but when you close the gap by unscrewing the top ring.. that ring is still attached to the vamo body.. just barely..

Hi and welcome Kemal.

Protanks don't sit flush on my V3 either. I've read that the threads are soft, so I don't force it. Unlike yours, I can spin the top ring to meet the tank and it doesn't come off the threads. I have used the Protank "beauty ring" without the top ring from the V3 to get a decent fit, although it's kind of ugly and still not totally flush.

Not sure what kind of adapter would work because it seems an adapter would create more of a gap between the threads and the tank. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I have will be along shortly.

Thanks everyone. My beauty ring definitely comes off the threads if I close the gap because it both rattles around and it falls off of I take the PT off. Oh well.

If anyone knows of a beauty ring that is taller, or if one of those ego-510 adapters with flow control might fill the gap, that'd be peachy if you could point me in the right direction.

I've tried the PT beauty ring but that just looks lame, LOL

At least the PT2 and my MT3S's look and work good and holy cow, this is so much more satisfying than a non VV ego.

 

[kemal007]

Er, I meant the mini PT2 looks good.

Other than a little cosmetic oopsie...can ya "Vape yo face off!!!"

My VAMO 3 has the same gap. I have a spare PT base and I might file the 510 thread end down and see if I can close up the gap. The IClear30's have a gap as well but it's not as big as the PT.

Yeah, I definitely can do that!

 

[WarHawk-AVG]

Yeah, I definitely can do that!

Blamo out with your Vamo out!

I just got my Vamo V3 in the vapemail today too!! I'm a "Noob" as well (2 months and counting) I have been using Ego batteries and didn't really expect there to be much of a diff. with a mod. HOLY COW WAS I WRONG!!! The flavor of the juice is so much more pronounced and smoothness of the vape is AMAZING!! Never going back that's for sure. I'm currently using an 18650 battery but think I'll go with a single smaller battery to make my mod a tad smaller. It's a bit large for me. Happy Vaping to all

Vape yo face off!

APV is where everyone eventually ends up...

I guess an analogy could be like getting into a river
Walk up dip your toe in...ooh cold (cigalike), step in the water a bit deeper (eGo), then plunge on in (APV)

Others...timidly walk up and their buddy shoves em in (loaner)

Then there is that yahoo on the bank with the rope swing and a Tarzan yell AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAAAA (Provari)

I "graduated" to the Vamo v3 as well. I started with an eGo and both does the Vamo blow it out of the water. I am using a g50 which is close to the protank. Does anyone else have any flooding after about a week. Don't get me wrong I do not mind the tighter draw but I hate the gurgling and that it will through juice in my mouth.

 

[clone1008]

I can confirm that the gap exists on the new Vamo v5 also. It's there with may PT2 and even my new Kayfun Lite.

If you're using it in 18650 mode then you can use the 350 tube to connect to the top and cover the whole protank, therefore protecting it from drops
