Ok so I got this baby in today. I'm loving it so far. Been using the standard ce4 atomizers x2 that it comes with. Loving the birthday cake and monstery energy flavors I received as well. However, when I try to connect my iclear30 or iclear30s tanks and vape , all I get on the screen is check atomizer. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there's something I'm maybe doing wrong or missing.
Problems with Vamo v5

I have not run into that on the vamo, but it could be that the pins are not making good contact. Try adjusting the pins just a tad and do not over tighten when mating back together
Any advice on how to adjust the pins? This is my second mod so I'm still a complete noob to all this lol. Thanks!
I don't know about a short circuit, but my iclear30 and iclear 30s says they're set for low or medium resistance.
The firing pin is flush with the black ring in the center. I do not see how I'm going to be able to pull up on it. Guess I might be screwed. I'll probably just have to not use the iclears on this bad boy. It's a shame cause Ive saw a ton of videos of people showing off how good this thing works with iclear tanks.
Don't be afraid of lifting the pin on the Vamo, it's actually quite long. You're not going to break it. In fact you could pull it all the way out if you were so inclined, not that you need to. You'd just find that it's soldered to a white wire. Handy bit of info if you ever need to fix the rubber insulator under the pin. 
Oh that's cool, but how do I go about lifting it when it's flush with the black ring with it. I can't seem to get a grip on it or anything.
Ok so after lots and lots and lots of research, I managed to get the top cap off where the firing pin is, and you're right, there's a white wire under it, but I still see no way I can get that firing pin to come up some lol. I'm so confused.
You can pull the center pin down a tad on your IClear 30 and 30s. Not a lot. Just grab it with some tweezers, and gently pull it out a bit. Or use a small flat bladed screwdriver.
take the battery out of the vamo, find a paperclip or a thumbtack or a sewing needle, make a little L shape out of it ( paperclip works best) and work the tip of it under the pin and lift gently just a tad. Another thing to do is remove the atty from the Vamo and do a check for the resistance, if it says the same thing as when the 2 other attys in question do, then you can safely assume the attys arent making contact with the center pin...
Yeah it reads 9.9 when one is one and not on. I'll keep trying to raise this pin, but I can't seem to work under it because the fit is extremely tight, but I'll keep at it and hopefully something will happen lol.
Ok so I managed to get my ce4 clearomizers to work again with it, but not the iclear. I even pulled the pin down on the iclears to complete the connection and it still says check atomizer whenever I do. Any suggestions on my one set of tanks will work but my iclears won't?
EDIT: Also, I thought for a second maybe the iclear tanks I have aren't compatible, but I have saw several videos of people reviewing the vamo, and they all use either iclear30, iclear30s, and iclear30b tanks so that isn't the issue.

This is actually a pretty common issue with the center pin not making contact with the atomizer connection. Usually from over-tightening the tank onto the battery connector.

Oh ok I see how it works, but my firing pin in the vamo v5 looks nothing like that. It's way smaller and it's such a tight squeeze that even a small screwdriver the size of a sewing needle cannot fit down to ease it back up. EDIT: Here's a pic see what ya think. That sucker is down in there lol.

Naw and it's an iclear30 and iclear30s. My 30s is only 2 days old and my iclear 30 is around 3 weeks old.
The pin on your Vamo has been forced below the insulator. I have several Vamo's and had this happen from a tank that had its center pin too long. It's going to take some work but I would try a mini straight blade screwdriver. If all else fails try to raise the insulator and that should bring the pin up to a level where you can separate the head of the center contact from the insulator.
I went online and compared your picture to one I saw online and they look very similar (though your pin may be recessed just a little more). Check out this thread to see if your problem is addressed: Just got a Vamo V5/questions?
