I have 3 first one from okcvapes,it was the original. One from smoktek had 2nut gave one to my son chrome buttons. Third one is from Vaporbank. All work very well I put a tape washer in the one from okcvapes near positive end of tube for safety.

Yes it works but be very careful and gently turn it until the button pops out,the post is very solid with a nice solder on it so no worries about breaking the post.
It is actually my negative button that is not clicking. Should I turn the board towards the negative button or away from it? I really am not sure since my positive button works fine.
If they would just have glued this thing in and started out with a proper spring the Vamo would be untouchable.
On that same note I thought about gluing it in place but that made me think, maybe the board wouldn't do so well with the shock of being dropped if it was held in place firmly? Maybe it (intentionally or not) owes its ability to survive falls to this feature? Just a thought I am obviously no expert
Jimbill, if it is still advisable to do this for the negative button, would it be wise to maybe just get behind the circuit board with something flat and do it that way or is grabbing the post the best? Sorry for asking so much but putting pressure on a circuit board with my wobbly hands is frightening.

I would only try and turn using the positive post the pcb is really thin and might break so please be very gentle while gripping the post do not force it.
2 chromes from HC and efest batts. Had them since mid Dec. Never a problem and lovin every minute of it
Since my negative button is not clicking should I turn the board towards the negative button or away from the negative button? I am guessing rotate it to left (if the buttons are facing up) ie the board is too close to the negative rather than too far away ?
I had the same problem. I turned it towards the button that was raised and wasn't "clicking". In my case the was the positive button. The one on the right as you look at the device. It actually does work but as stated, turn it ever so gently. I actually didn't really try to "turn" mine all in one try. I kinda got some needle nose pliers in there just right and just nudged it until the button went back in and started clicking as the others did.
How the heck these guys are getting the top cap off that's connected to the PCB is beyond me. I tried. Tried again. Scratched the heck out of my VAMO, tried again and gave up. It would be much easier to turn the PCB with the top cap off but sooo not worth destroying your device over it. Just be careful.

I got mine from gotvapes.com.. They call it a Vision vv/vw but I can tell you that it IS a Vamo.
Chrome finish, metal buttons, positive gasket, not sure of the spring & rattling issues because I am using dual EFEST 18350 flat top batteries.. Which is a tight fit. It remembers RMS or the other setting & will not reset watt settings if batteries are removed.

I just received mine from Exhale Vapors (in three days from Texas) Stainless V2, uprgaded spring and metal buttons. Check out discount codes 40% off, free shipping. I have no idea who produced it, package was a plain white box with no label at all.
Does anyone know how to remove the top on the vamo? I destroyed the o-ring in the 510 connection. I need to remove it and put in another. thanks in advance.
This vid might help.

He swears it works but I've tried by hand, with tools, throwing it, bangin it ... and nothin to show for it but a scratched up VAMO. Good luck.
Many make the mistake of screwing their cartos/tanks on too tight and this will destroy the o-ring. Just screw it down until you make the connection with the battery. There are other threads here on how to replace the o-ring if you do a search, you don't have to remove the top.
Just got my black chrome Vamo from Vapor Alley. Metal buttons, large spring, insulator ring, remembers wattage setting when battery removed. No battery rattle, but the buttons rattle a little.
Coming up on 1 month of use of my black chrome Vamo. It's taken many knock-overs (no drops yet, knock on wood) and is still going strong. The finish seems to be holding up fairly well, too. Sure, I get the little hairline scratches, but it's not wearing away like the gunmetal finish on my Bolt has.
I don't shop mods much but I would have to think the Vamo is one of the best buys out there. I alternate it and a Provari all day and I'm thrilled with the $40 Vamo. I was getting an E1 error message on the Provari yesterday that wouldn't go away. Put the carto on the Vamo, no problem. I put a black carbon fiber j-wrap on it and it looks great.
Oh man -- Only 24 hours with my VAMO and it's dead! 
I ? think ? it's the battery connection (the damn spring) but who knows. It was working like a charm ... went to change the battery (I've just been using the small one - in mini mode while charging another - then going back and forth between them - and all of a sudden it decided it wouldn't turn on.
I can see the monitor / led screen flash 2-3 times as I'm twisting on the cap, but once it's screwed in, nothing.
Wondering if it's the spring on the cap - (which has been working just fine, although it does seem a bit more stretched out, now) ...
ARGGGGHHHH!
P.S. The batteries have been charging up, no problem - so I know they're fine.
HALLLLLPPPPPP!

What kind of batteries are you using? It sounds like it is breaking connection - could be the spring or the batteries.
