Vamo board mod

[Petebigmatch]

Hi there, just in the process of making a wooden mod with the vamo board and was just wondering
if anyone knows if the the fire button and up and down buttons can be removed from the board
for ease of fitting in to the box,I have a separate fire button and two tactile 300g buttons to fit in

Yes they can be removed if necessary but you could just solder to the legs and leave them there as they don't take up much room.

Thank for the reply,is this much of a job or can you just de-solder them and take them off the front
This was a question I was asked by someone if we needed to

Cheers Pete

There's no need to remove them. You can just add another button using the pins that are already there. More chance of damaging the board if you attempt to remove...

Yes I know that you can just use the pins from the buttons as Gary dibbley has done on the (tin your tip 18-03)
But what I wanted to know is can they be removed (if needed ,and how difficult it would be) to get the board
closer to the front of the wooden mod front panel so I can position my tactile buttons where I initially wanted to

Does anyone know where you can get a Vamo PCB? Exhale Vapers used to carry them but they are out of stock. Stealth vapes used to carry them but their website is gone. Kidney Puncher is out of stock and in reply to my inquiry about restocking they were unsure if they would.

You would probably be better off, snipping the legs of the switch and removing it that way as desoldering all 4 pins at once isn't going to be easy.
I haven't done it myself but I have on a DNA20D, I snipped two legs off and bent the other two back and forth until they broke.

I got mine from stealthvape ,I know they are having web site repaired or revamped maybe that's why it's down
You can always get one from fasttech , strip it down and use the board,tubes,hot spring,and atty connector
Which is what I am thinking about
For a black chrome about $29 About £20 and ss ones around $32
Not bad when you think I paid £18.99 +delivery from stealthvape
Hope that helps a little

I second that, you'll get the PCB and lots of extras for a couple of bucks more.
Stealthvape is back up, £18.99 (approx $29) for Vamo v2 board and £19.99 (approx $30.50) for the v3.
Or you can go for broke and for $50 get an Evolv DNA20D for 8.3V/20W/6A goodness...
