Vamo issues, may be the O-Ring?

[friedbob]

Hello ECF I need assistance and am unable to post elsewhere. I picked up a Vamo v2 from fasttech and for the most part I'm happy with it. I picked up an AGR+ carto tank from gotvapes.com to go with it and I immediatley ran into the Low Ohm error. Ok did soem research I'm ready to get the correct O rings tomorrow BUT int he past 2 days I've had to constantly adjust the tank just to get a reading so I can vape. Now I've noticed that the tank is sitting crooked in the connector as do my Protank bases. Have I screwed my threading or is the O-ring just really really being a ....?


Nvm, I figured it out. Put a blank carto in it and she just kept spinning. Time to get a hold of fasttech and see if I can't get it exchanged. Might go for a V3.

It could be the o ring under the center post - but to me it sounds like a threading issue. The Vamo is famed for having crap threads, I know, I own two of them.

Before you mess with the vamo, you could try prying the bottom of your carto down a little as in the video below.



If that doesn't work, you could get a 510 to 510 adapter and use that - but it's going to make the tank look a little weird on the vamo. Finally, I suppose you could either try tapping the threads, taking it to a machine shop, or wrapping some soft copper wire into the threads. I've not done any of those three things, but I have seen threads where others have - with varying degrees of success.

Sadly its the threading and it seems to have come like that as its been like that since I got it just not as bad as it is now. I've submitted a ticket to Fasttech and I'm going to try and swap it out from a V3 and ordered a Tank Airflow Controller from vermillion to safguard from this in the future.
