New faulty VAMO V5 assistance needed plzzzzz!!!

[devanillagorilla]

i have a brand new out of the box Vamo V5 but it's got issues.

using BRC 18650 Ultrafire 4000mAh 3.7v li-ion battery and a Protank 3.

I'm having major trouble booting it up.

It gets to the stage of 'System: on' after 5 clicks of the power button, and i can hold down the + and - button to get the menu up (10 sec) but then it decides that that is as far as it will go. I cannot get a vape out of it at all.

If i press the power button after the menu it just blanks and i have to take the battery out to reboot.

It also seems to stop working when i put a tank on.
I hope there is someone here who's had a similar issues with a fix
or is it faulty and i should send it back?

Have you tried another attie, just in case it's that? Just an idea, probably not, but worth a try.

I've got mine in front of me if that helps.

i have some protected and some unprotected batteries..what you describe (and i have read what you wrote) is what i see when i put my el cheapo protected batteries in the vamo.

i realise yours arent protected, but i did find this review of your batteries

please try some other batteries first before going the refund/return route on the vamo

Hi mate,

Sorry to hear about your Vamo not working, I have a few spare 18650's that work fine in my V5, pm me your name and address and I will send you one to try, hopefully you will get it by Christmas.

I should mention that they are from a new laptop battery I bought earlier this year that never fitted the laptop and I never got round to sending it back so I dismantled it a week ago for the batteries and they work and charge no problem
