Emergency Notice about the wider big defective spring of eGo Bamboo APV !

[KulrMeStoopid]

I removed the spring my Vamo came with and put a decent hotspring in (sold as a silver bullet hot spring)
I got it from iVapour's and was not that expensive

Battery no longer rattles and the current can now flow un-impeded

Regards
Rob

Do the sb spring fits? Awesome!

That's good! I've ordered the same hot spring from ivapour but didn't know if it would fit in Vamo or not since they haven't arrived yet

Indeed they do - as well as in the Argento/Mini Argento (which s why I had some)
Mine was a nice and tight fit in the end cap

@E Smoke UK will you be sending them out to recent buyers?

Hi KulrMeStoopid.

Yes anyone who has already purchased one with the large spring from us will automatically be sent a replacement spring , Fortunately it has only affected our very latest batch.

Many Thanks

David

I was going to point out that mine isn't getting hot!

Im hoping they send me extra's so i can upgrade everybodys , But been a slow as they are i have purchased some in the UK to upgrade current stock and affected ones already supplied to customers. By the time the replacements come from china your other half may have destroyed his LOL. On a serious note the tall narrow springs aren't affected but i will upgrade if i end up with a surplus (which is should considering ive purchased engough to upgrade the ones i already have.

Cheers

Ideally the spring resistance should be negligable at around the 0.1 ohm mark. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think I am far off the mark.

The resistance should be as close to zero as possible.
I am not sure of the impact of having this resistance too in terms of capacitors and whether they or their discharge in impacted. So, it may be effecting the output too.

I think .1 ohm is fairly typical for spring metal and in relation to the atomizer it is very small. I wont be bothering with a hot spring for mine, I have never had a warm end cap on mine and after stretching the spring a little fairly early on I have had no disconnect issues either. I may experiment by soldering a bit of multi stranded copper wire between the bottom and top of the coil, but I cant see it making much difference.

I got a high resistance spring sent to me through the post, when I tested it on the meter it was jumping about all aver the place but never lower than 1.5 ohms. After a quick rub with fine sandpaper on the surfaces that contact the end cap and the bottom of the battery, the resistance came down to a rock steady 0.3 ohms. Not as low as the gold plated ones which are about 0.1 ohms, but not high enough to cause any problems (in my humble opinion) I think it was Charlie sent me the spring, I had asked a couple of people to send me a bad spring. If it was, thank you Charlie ;-). It looks like it was oxidation, not enough that you could see, but enough to send the meter reading crazy and give high resistance contacts with the battery causing heat. I am going to use it in my Vamo to check it out, but I dont think it will get hot or even warm now. I am using a 1.4 atomizer, so if it still has a problem, it will show up fairly quickly.
