I don't know what is going on here, but my Vamo V5 will not turn on with 18350's. These batteries arew freshly charged and workd yesterday. I tried 4 seperate batteries. All worked in my V2, but not in the V5? Has anyone seen this before? I may be about to give up on Vamo. I've had two go bad in three months.
V5 won't turn on with 18350's?

Ok. It's working now.
This was with a single 18350. I am thinking that the O-ring that is at the top of the battery tube was preventing the 18350's from making contact. My 18650's are Button tops, my 18350's are flat. The O ring is slightly off center. It started working after I swept the tube with my finger.
I discovered the issue right before I left for work. Worried about it at work. Then I got home and fixed it in seconds.
I really like my Vamo, but it's a tempermental device.

You may not have been getting a connection between the batteries if you're stacking flat top 350's. I'd try a battery magnet between them.

My V5 Vamo will not use flat top anybrand batts. Had to buy button tops just for it.
