Ordered my very first mod, a VAMO. I was stalking the postman, and so excited when it finally arrived. Charged up the batts, put 1 in and turned it on, played with the voltage, the wattage, go to take a vape, and boom, it shuts off. It shuts off every time I hit the fire button. So I try to put 2 18350s in and discovered, the batteries extend past the tube so far it's impossible to put the cap on. So either I have deformed batteries or a defective VAMO.

I know these things happen, and the seller is working with me to get a replacement; but it's just such a buzz kill. Guess I'll keep on vaping the eGo spinner until i get it :(

Funny you say that, b/c I was about to get a cheapo one from China, then I decided to buy in the US and from someone on the forums, that way I would be supporting and I would have customer service just in case. Hmm I'm glad you told me about those flat topped batteries, perhaps I should get some and try it before sending back the VAMO.

The shut off thing is an odd issue, haven't heard that one before. As far as the length of batteries, I found out quickly that I had to get flat tops to stack 350s. Sorry you had issues but at least the vendor is working with you, I know a lot of people who got vamos from shady places and didnt get any help after arriving DoA

Send it back for replacement before getting the flat top batteries. Sounds like yours might have some internal issue. It should work fine with 1 button top 18350. I use my Vamo in 18350 mode only. I never stack, find that the 18350 single battery gives me plenty of vape time.
What kind of batteries you use. My 18350 don't seem to last long at all.
