yea i know. they sell o-ring sets on ebay and amazon. might have to get one to replace o-rings on the tips, and the unit to line the hole up with a snug fit

I got some of the new Boge Vivi Novas and my Sagewood drip tips were a bit loose. Rather than fussing with o-rings I wrapped the bottom of the tips with white silicone plumbing tape. It works very well and you can wrap as much/little of the tape as you need rather than depending on the thickness of the o-rings.

Just received my black chrome Vamo and really love this thing. One major problem though. All my devices mount at a non-perpendicular angle to the top surface of the top cap. As in they all sit on the Vamo tilted. Like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy fix (guessing not)? This device tilt really detracts from the otherwise striking appearance of the Vamo.
It's the cheap machining of the connector. Try tightening down the tank being careful not to over-tighten. Make sure the threads are aligned as well and not semi cross threaded. The threads seem a bit loose on some devices.

I just fixed this same problem on my Vamo today. If you look straight down and can see a bigger gap on one side, place a flat tip screwdriver or something to pry with between the outside of the connector and the inside of the topcap. GENTLY pry it towards the larger gap to straighten it out, it doesnt take a whole lot of force. Now all my Nova's sit evenly instead of having a slight kilter to them. Hope this helps :vapor:

My new Vamo arrived today. It will be a backup to the almighty Provari :) IMG_1413.jpgIMG_1415.jpg

Well I sold my Vamo, had to make room for a second Provari. The Vamo just didn't fit the bill i thought it would, and the VW is not for me, since all 7 of my tanks run the exact same carto. I gave it up after less than a half day of using it.

At least you gave it a decent chance......

I like mine because I'm a genesis user & the Ohms vary from device to device... usually based on the juice I keep in 'em. The best thing (for me) is, I set the Vamo @ 9W, and no matter which genny I screw on top, the vape is stellar. Never been a carto fan, so no carto tanks in my arsenal.

I really like the look of the stainless version you have. Mine is chrome but I seeing this I want a stainless version
