I've got 3...Chrome, Black Chrome and Stainless. Can't say I have any problems so far (knock on wood!).
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.I had this issue happen. I knocked my SS vamo over on my desk, not a hard fall whatsoever, and the button popped out.
Has anyone else tried jimbills fix? Is it safe to do?
Not that I don't trust you jimbill, its just my Vamo is only a day old and breaking it would put me back in an eGo.
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.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.

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 ?
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.
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) ...
