Vamo broke (kind of)

[vwkitty]

Dropped my Vamo and top cap is wonky. It still works but it's annoying. Is there any hope to fix this?

Rubber mallet.... ?? I know, not everyone has one..

 

[vwkitty]

I considered that but wanted a second opinion. My rubber mallet is my best friend and go-to tool for most things lol.

Rubber mallet should work fine. That top cap is just pressure fit on. I popped mine off to remove the circuit board when I repainted mine.
I just tapped mine on using a block of wood.

As above ^ Rubber mallet, block of wood, dead blow hammer.

 

[vwkitty]

Excellent, thanks everyone, I'll give it a go!

 

[vwkitty]

Ugh. Well I gave it a whack, went right back in no problem. Happy Kitty.

Took one vape, worked fine. Then nothing. Unscrewed cap and took battery out. Two tiny piece of black plastic or something also tumbled out. Won't turn back on.

I fear I'm out of luck with this one.

 

[crxess]

Maybe not.
Large channel locks and a towel
Remove cap and inspect switch/board/ etc.

Ryan has a video on Youtube showing disassembly.

Also, should have been a Tap not a wack. Sorry, I was at work all day.

 

[vwkitty]

Well. Maybe whack wasn't the right work. It was a quick jab on some wood I had handy. I didn't even expect a change since it wasn't hard.

It's too hot to go out and dig through tools. Maybe I can get my boyfriend to play with it tomorrow. Sigh. It's literally six days old.
