Vamo Durability

[vernhall]

Well, it finally happened! My SS Vamo took a dive from a countertop yesterday afternoon (and of course it had to be the SS, not the Black Chrome one) onto a tile floor and landed at an angle right on the atomizer... Knocked the centerpost off true, but other than that no damage at all... So, in my estimation, that pretty much sums up how durable the Vamo is since I don't think any of my mods would/could have survived such a fall with less damage...

Was thinking about getting a pair of pliers and a vise to try and straighten things out but decided it wasn't worth the risk and the tilt to the atty kind of gives it a rackish appearance...

Well...do us all a favor...figure out how to disassemble the v3, since it broken...see if you can get some pliers and wiggle the pressed in top cap and pull it out...maybe we can find a fix for it, and/or you can part it out...remember that V3 PCB is worth some money at the very least...but a viable "breakdown" of the V3...get pics!!!

I second this. The PCB in my V3 is mounted crooked inside the body and I would love to be able to straighten it out but am scared to mess with it since it's my main APV at the moment.

Not that I'm saying you personally need to start tearing your VAMO apart for us, but I would love to see someone figure out how to take it apart and reassemble it.

Sorry I didn't mention it, but my Vamo is a V2 not a V3...

With a V2 you should be able to remove the top section of the tube with some effort. Maybe if you remove that you can play with the 510 connection a little and straighten it out.

Maybe this will help:

Wait until you see how much of a friggen paper weight that is...lets just hope you don't do that a few more times, because the threads will go.

They seem to always do. Can't even meter with it now unless I hold the device down.
