Hello everyone. Not really a newbie but not much of a poster so I can't post directly to the Vamo section.

I picked up a new Vamo a few weeks ago (my 2nd one). It's been working fine until about about 2 days ago. All of a sudden it started reading the voltage incorrectly. A freshly charged 4.2V (tested with multimeter) single battery will read at 6.2. Stacking will read at 9.9v. A single battery will not allow it to fire (LoV message) because it is reading it like it's stacked and it's below the stacked voltage threshold. The only way I can get this to work is by actually stacking 2 350s. In that config it works fine, except that the voltage always reads as 9.9 volts, no matter what the real voltage it. I've been vaping on it for a bit today so I tested both batts earlier and they read at 3.5-3.6v each. It should be reading around 7v right?...wrong. It still says 9.9v. I've tried cleaning all of the screw connections, pulling the tubes apart to check where the + post is on the board, checked the spring, and tried 7 different batteries, both 350s and 650s, in a single config. Same deal with all of them, always reading over 6v. So, why did this thing start reading an additional 2v charge on everything?

Anyone have any insight or has experienced the same issue?
