Vamo V3 button issue

[Blitzen]

So I've had my V3 for about 4 months, about a month ago I dropped it and the - button lost its click. It still works, but no click, so I accidentally bump it and change the wattage while vaping. Anyone know a fix for this? If not, any suggestions on what PV to upgrade to?

Here is a link to the Vamo thread. That is not an uncommon problem with Vamos.

upgrade to a SVD from Itaste... thats what I did after seeing 2 of my Vamo3's die from a simple fall....
1 vamo died totally ( made it into a mech)
the other vamo got dropped and the display quit working, but... it still vapes, but I have to "feel" for the power level since I have no visual reference...

With all due respect I don't think the SVD is a step up from a Vamo. They offer similar performance in a similar form factor. When you read through the APV forums, you'll also see that they suffer from similar issues too.

As for getting the click back, the only way I know would be to disassemble the vamo and reassemble it. It sounds like the button is just misaligned.

There is an excellent video about how to do this posted below. Tear-down starts at about 1.30
