My Vamo has been acting kind of weird. It only turns on with one particular CGR18650CH, it won't work with any others, or stacked 18350s. I know my other Panasonics are OK because they work well in my VV Gripper. Any ideas on what is going on?

Clean the battery contact and spring on your VAMO. It wouldn't hurt to clean the battery contacts as well. If that doesn't help try pulling out the battery spring on your VAMO a bit. If your VAMO has a skinny, wimpy spring you might want to consider replacing it with one of these hot springs. They are the identical spring being sold under different names. I use them in both of my VAMOs and never have battery connection issues.

every vamo owner should have the hot spring from the links provided above, just for extra safety, even if you have the vamo v2 with the "upgraded" wider thicker gold spring, make sure your bottom battery cap is not heating up or getting warm while using it.
"THE SPRING HAS SPRUNG – WARNING POTENTIAL VAMO SPRING ISSUE!!

Let me start off by saying this…
Attention Manufacturers… PROPER TESTING WILL AVOID SUCH ISSUES!
Thank you.
Ok, here’s the deal. The Vamo has a potential spring issue. The one I used in the review had, what I believe, was the original thin spring. Note that I did not, nor do I receive ANY heat from the bottom cap.
People were having issues with that spring (rattly batteries) so they replaced it with a beefier one. That spring may have an issue.
Is yours effected? I honestly don’t know. The post was found on Health Cabin relating to what they call the Bamboo which is a Vamo. Could the issue just be related to units purchased there? Again, I don’t know. I’m just passing along what I’ve heard.
This is one of the problems with all these versions and revisions coming out without proper in-lab, alpha, beta, and field testing and it really needs to stop. A properly tested and rock solid device should be far more important than rushing something to market.
So… if you are experiencing ANY heat from the bottom cap… STOP USING IT and contact your vendor regarding the issue. Here is the post as seen on Health Cabin…
Dear customers,
We are very sorry to inform you that we discontinue selling eGo Bamboo APV(Stainless/Chrome/Black Chrome) for a while because the big wide spring in the cap has big resistance, which makes the Bamboo cap very hot when Bamboo is working, especially when Bamboo works at a high Voltage or Wattage with a low resistance atomizer. We are working on new good springs with low resistances and expect to get new springs ready in some days.
We will resume selling the products and their caps when the new springs are ready.
If you have Bamboos with the wider big wrong springs, please stop using the products and contact us by ticket system.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please feel free to let us know by using Help Desk and submiting a ticket.
We look forward to always being able to serve you better.

The Pbusardo warning was because of the second spring issued on the V2.
It was a larger steel spring than the weak spring about the size of the gold spring in use now.
Here's a pic that shows spring one and three. (I never had the problem spring)
The early V2's had a center post that held the spring.
