Oh yeah....Good Morning!

 

[Zooker]

I just went back and looked at FB again, a Dude #3 has chimed in on the convo:
*************************
Here's a video about how to fix the Vamo using an insulator from an old eGo battery. I used one from a DIY 510 battery connector to fix mine since I didn't have an eGo battery that I wanted to part out. Seems to me this fix would be better than using the washer method as it is the part that is actually supposed to be there. Apparently the insulators used in the Vamo are very poor quality.

I have no clue what any of that means.

Ok, I don't have a sliver of knowledge about the Vamo, so this may mean something or nothing at all. I was reading some facebook groups before falling asleep last night, and came across these lil tidbits, and immediately thought of you Kaleb, so hopefully it's cool if I copy/paste this here:

*****************************************
Dude #1 said: Vamos are awesome, well built, powerful and cheap. I own three. Only problem is the center pin is very fragile if cartos are screwed on too tight. Expect your vamo to last about 2-3 months before the center pin gives out.


Dude #2 said: do they sell replacements for them? or do you have to buy a whole new head part?

Dude #1 said: It's usually not the pin but the o-ring under it. #60 o-ring you can get at homedepot. Not that hard to replace. Just don't screw down your tank or what ever to hard.
********************************************

That's all I got...lol

Zooker, you just nut-shelled the entire thread that was linked earlier (Vamo ohm fix) , and I believe that is the fix that KalebK will attempt with his dad.

Hello Zooker, AG, and Cnew!

I just went back and looked at FB again, a Dude #3 has chimed in on the convo:

I watched that video too The problem with the Vamo is that the positive pin that makes contact with the atomizer devices must be isolated from the body so that you can complete the circuit without shorting out. The insulator the company used to prevent the pin from shorting is very soft like silicone, and easy to deform/tear. Different people have come up with a couple of fixes to address the problem. I don't know if that helps or not Zooker, but there ya go.....

Wow, I didn't realize Sigelei had so many telescopic options to choose from...that's nuts!

Well no, it doesn't help me, but I don't have a Vamo, so there ya go!

Zooker, you just nut-shelled the entire thread that was linked earlier (Vamo ohm fix) , and I believe that is the fix that KalebK will attempt with his dad.

I'm good at the nutshell game-- my many motto's in life include: "Woulda Coulda Shoulda", "Hindsight is 20/20" and "Ya do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself around, that's what it's all about!"

It's really buggin' me about your Vamo Kaleb, I'm sending positive vibes your way, that your dad becomes all Zen with his inner tech-master and that the Vamo comes back to all it's shiny goodness and vapes your silly socks off!

 

[AG51]

"Ya do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself around, that's what it's all about!"

Yeah Babys !

Let's Pokeys !!

Be safe Aggie,

Here's another total non sequiter to keep your mind off worries:

We lived in the UK for a couple years when my little ones were toddlers. They call it the 'Hokey Cokey' there. Hilarious!

Wikipedia says, "... in 1940, during the Blitz in London, a Canadian officer suggested to Al Tabor, a British bandleader of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, that he write a party song with actions similar to "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree".

The inspiration for the song's title that resulted, "The Hokey Pokey", came from an ice cream vendor whom Tabor had heard as a boy, calling out, "Hokey pokey penny a lump. Have a lick make you jump".

He changed the name to "The Hokey Cokey" at the suggestion of the officer who said that "cokey", in Canada, meant "crazy" and would sound better."

Fun fact to know and tell

 

[KalebK]

Good Morning everyone. Just got home from church, got a meeting in a little bit, I'll be back later.

I hope you don't get swept away like Dorothy and Toto...or the cow from Twister...

Good Morning everyone. Just got home from church, got a meeting in a little bit, I'll be back later.

Hello Kaleb Check out the Vamo pics. Let me know if you need more or a different angle.

 

[Cnew]

hope your Vamo is working again soon, kaleb....

what an amazing group of people, i must add

Good Morning DV!

Photobucket won't let me organize the pics as I would like. Look here for pics. It's a little dirty with sandpaper dust from giving it a nice brushed finish, so ignore the crud please.

It's true indeed, and it is over 100 people. Most of them are looking for a steal of a deal, but some of them might buy it for a reasonable price. Regardless of the cost, quite a few gushed over the looks. I've been told it's a Roller clone (the Sigelei telescopic is SS with a brass colored button). It is something to think about

EDIT: Eric, would you also consider carrying some spare nuts for RBAs? I bought a used one from a very frustrated friend and it is missing some of the nuts for the center post (it's an AGA-T). I checked to see if a DID clone nut would fit, but no joy. Anyway, I have read in a few threads that people have lost them, and they are so small that they can't find them. I noticed that you sell other parts for several RBAs, they just don't include the center post nuts.

DOUBLE EDIT: There seems to be growing interest in the Sigelei #19 as well (it has a Gee-Whiz magnetic bottom fire button ).

If I knew all the nut sizes I would get them, the issue is I have ordered about a dozen way back just to find one for the aga and nothing ever seemed to fit, we need a resident nuts expert who can figure our the right part numbers and I would then carry them.,

for the #19, I am getting it in again but someone told me my number 19 is actually a 9... weird, they sell it to me as a "19" so now I am confused.. and what is the 20? I don;t think I saw that one?

 

[gormly]

I have a greater appreciation for my wife today, I had to do everything today as she is laid out cold...
more than 200 orders this morning (all all of the ones from last night) , 250 emails, product purchases and PI reviewals

I am literally exhausted.

I knew it was a lot of work for her but wow, that's a lotta work all together, my kids need to grow up fast so I can get them to help out LOL

 

[gormly]

and what's up with the tornado? everyone ok?

I leave you kids alone for one night and there you go, creating all kinds of disasters!
