Vamo V2 threads

[tanner150]

I know there are several threads on this topic, and I'm sorry if I am out of line for posting this, but has anyone found a good way to fix the 510 threads that have been stripped on a Vamo V2? Also, has anyone replaced the top portion with the 510 threads?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I've tried many options and haven't found a good fix yet.

FRUSTRATING!!

If they aren't too far gone, you could try an adapter. Beyond that, I would imagine that if you are handy, you should be able to replace the 510 connector. Good luck and have fun!

I always use the 510 adapters on all my new mods just for that reason. Have not had any problems so far. It does make the connection taller but if using a 510 topper I just add a beauty ring. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003955/1473305-510-to-ego-adapters-for-e-cigarette-5-pack

Where do you find a beauty ring that matches up to the Vamo that looks good?

Google Heli-coil. You want 7mm, 0.5 pitch.

I think Ecig Expressions also has a replacement top available for about $3.00.

The Vamo has its own sub-forum here:

Can try an airflow controller? If the threads are not to far gone?

I had that problem with a V2 I bought brand new at the local Vape store. After 3 days I could not use it due to the threads being shot. I went back to the store and got in a big fight with the owner. He kept accusing me of dropping it? Ended up getting a new unit at 70% off and kept the old unit since I could still use CE4's on it. I didn't realize at the time there is an "issue" with the threads. My new V2 works great however I think I will look into getting an adapter for it. I doubt a return trip to the Vape store would be as "pleasant" as the first one, LOL.

I was just about to buy a Vamo v2. Glad you posted that there is the issue with it. Now I'm stuck again between Ego batteries and a battery mod.

You can also buy replacement heads. Try this thread from the VAMO forum - I believe the link to the parts is on on page 2 or 3:

Good luck!
