I have a hard time with this post....i almost dont believe it....if its true i would agree with everyone elsethat said its your delivery devise or some juice has dripped down onto the batt connectio.connection ...try swabbing it with a q tip...
On the other hand ...my suspicious mind tells me this is a troll...trying to create some slowdown in the vamo sales.
I only say that because I own one...and it works excellent ...i also have a 1000mah twist and a few other batts....but my vamo is way better with its 33.33 MHz chip...really supplies a much more consistant power and very noticable difference
Not accusing anyone of anything...but there are ALOT of happy vamo owners in here

probably was mentioned, but make sure you have the volts and watts setting correct. If you are on watts and have it set at 4 or 4.5 (thinking volts) that will make a huge difference.

These are great VV/VW devices, it actually doesn't matter the mode although most prefer mode 2 VW, which I use. You should have plumes of vapor using any working head be it a vivi nova, cartomizer tank, atomizer, whatever. So either you have a bad one, send it back, you have no clue how to use, do some research, or you are a troll trying to start problems here. Seeing you only have 20 or so posts and are probably new to vaping I give you the benefit of doubt. Do some research here as stated. As far as I'm concerned I can get 6 Vamos for the price of 1 Provari and can have a great VV/VW experience. Never had a Provari, I'm sure they are great but all I need is a device that allows me to control my volts or watts to my preference and the Vamo does this exceptionally well without breaking the bank. JMO.
You don't know what you're talking about. Sorry but that's the truth. I've used vivi novas with a Vamo for three months and get clouds of vapor. I use an Aga-T+ with a Vamo and get even more clouds. You either haven't bothered to learn how to use your vaping equipment, and it really is a no brainer to put a vivi nova on the pv and find the watts you like, or you are trolling.
When you posted on the forum asking for advice on what pv to buy people gave you several suggestions. I think only one or two people mentioned a Vamo. A number of people mentioned the Sigelei Zmax, including me, among other pvs. You said you were going to look into all the options suggested, shop around and let everyone know what you bought. You never did update the thread though. Whatever you bought is on you - not on ECF members. Having said that, the Vamo is a very good pv. If you need help using a pv or the juice delivery systems on it then you only have to ask. You've already experienced how helpful people are on this forum.

Agreed....saying you wont listen to people in this forum kinda defeats the purpose of posting unless you just wanted to flame the vamo
Excalibrate, more information is necessary to determine what you should be getting. The responders have explained what it takes to get a good vape. Watch the videos posted and listen top PBusardo. YouTube is your friend for learning new hardware. Vamo users around here are happy with their hardware. I'm even considering buying one for a backup to my Provari. You should be getting a good vape if your juice, your atomization method, and your batteries are good.
Laughable, probably using a burnt out ce4 and blamimg it on the device. The Vamo isn't perfect but if you cant tell the difference between a hit from a twist or a Vamo, your delivery system has to be garbage. Wicks probably burnt all to hell and wondering where the vapor is, sigh. Think before you start bashing devices, unless you're trolling then you got me.
The Vamo truly is a piece of crap I've no doubt about that, the build quality of the connector is shocking, along with teh spring problems etc. Shame it spoils what otherwise would be an adequate, albeit ugly and bulky device.
But that's not whats causing your lack of vapour sir, that's your atty and juice, as previously said. Get some high vg juice, that'll sort you out. Pipe sauce has excellent vapour production.

You definitely don't know what you're talking about. There was a run with bad springs - that issue has been fixed. Please troll elsewhere.
You can tell this guy doesn't have one, nobody is trying to say its a perfect device, but for the money the thing hits like a train and has more functionality then a provari. Is it better, probably not due to the sloppy build quality but the battery connection issues have been fixed and mine runs perfectly. A lot of hate on this thread, sigh.
Sorry but I have a strange standard with things I buy, I expect them to work. Agree that spring issues have now been solved, although I had to buy a replacement cap for mine. I just think that its shows up a failure in design and testing that the first lot even got out that way.
I'd equally complain about a run of cars with bad engines, even if they were later fixed.
I'm not the only one who has had problems with those connector posts slipping down with different attys, compounded by the poor design of the center post insulation.
But hey since I disagree with you, I'm just a troll right? nothing like an ad hominem attack to make your case!

I wasn't the one coming on here calling it an ugly device and talking about the battery connection issue like it's still going on, if that's not trolling idk what is. There's an old saying that rings true, you get what you pay for. To expect a provari level of build quality on a 40 dollar device will always leave you disappointed. I don't think most people who bought a Vamo was expecting it to be perfect, but for the price I don't know how anybody could complain.
Well for starters you could have said what your critique is without calling a good pv a piece of crap. That's troll talk. Surely you can do better. I've had no problems with the centre post slipping down - I have two version 2 Vamos. I don't wrench my attachments on though. Secondly, that's not the OP's issue, and if you don't like the response you get then maybe think about the way you say it.

What are the ohm ratings of the ce4, vivi nova and the carto that you are using, and what voltages or wattage have you used them at. Also what kind of juice are you using, VG/PG ratio? You can make clouds of vapor with a 650mah ego battery with these devices at the right ohms ratings and the right VG/PG mixes.
Fair enough on the spring thing, I was particularly annoyed by that when I received it, but agree it has been fixed now, which I suppose I should have mentioned. I stand corrected.
Respect to the vendors who sent out a replacement spring. Still disappointing when you receive it that way though eh?
Ugly like bulky is subjective, but is my opinion.
It is a budget device I suppose and I don't expect it to be perfect. All I expect is for it to work as described for a reasonable length of time, on those counts, for me at least, it failed. That's how I can complain, it didn't work!
I'm not sure how it is in the States, but here 35 pounds is a lot of money for many people in the current climate. All you want is something that works. That tiny unsecured plastic insulator is a poor design IMO, that contributes to the reliability problems in the device, for many people.

My first Vamo cost $40 US, the second $30 US. $30 is about 20 pounds. As mods go the Vamo is pretty inexpensive - even at 35 pounds, which is about $50 US. I think the price point of the Vamo has seen a lot of people buy it as a first mod - perhaps you too?
I am wondering if a vendor sold you a version 1 and not a version 2. The version 1 did have issues - the 6 watt bug, and the lack of insulation.
I always check the vendor site for the warranty when I buy mods. My first Vamo is probably nearly out of time on the warranty - I think it was three months, which for a $40 mod is fine with me. Its still going strong. Did you have a warranty with yours? You may be able to get it replaced.
Not knowing what you did, but a problem with pvs in general that comes up is some screw down their attachments too tight. Causes them all sort of hassles.
