I like this iClear 30 I received from Stormy's Vapor a lot, however...you want to be sure you have done the O-ring/ Grommet replacement on your Vamo.
I have a newer Chrome Vamo, and my original 4 week old Gunmetal Vamo.
If you are not familiar with the main Vamo problem (most people in here are) it is that the silica oring/grommet under the center pin fails. You replace this by cutting a size 60 plumbing washer/o-ring once (or in half) and work it under the center post after removing the old silica oring. This size 60 is never going to "Sqwish" or break, and keeps the center pin held up much higher. This fix is in this Vamo subsection.

I thought my iClear was DOA. My Vision VIVI still reads fine on my Chrome Vamo, but the iClear would not. 9.9 ohms
On my Gunmetal it works fine (WHEW!) . I have replaced the O-ring on the gunmetal Vamo, but not yet on the Chrome.
This iClear seems to need to put much more pressure on the Vamo (be screwed in tighter) or perhaps it's a different length?
You may want to pass this on if you get a DOA report from friends if they are relying on a Vamo that has not been "fixed". They want to use a meter, or a "fixed" Vamo, or different PV.
Enjoy! I hope this helps someone with a similar issue.
