Vamo LCD screen

[MrsA]

Hi
Does anybody know where I can get hold of the plastic screen that covers the display on a Vamo?

Not that I want to spam.... But I have a load on order. Black ones too they're pretty nice to look at.

I have one of the samples somewhere I'll dig it out

 

[stealthvape]

Yeah, found it. PM me your address and I'll put it in the post

Thats great! Do you know the easiest way to open the Vamo? I haven't tried it yet as dont want to damage it!!

It's not easy actually, especially if it's SS. You might have more luck pulling the screen out from the front

It's a bit dodgy, but carefully pulling apart the highest division on the device (just above the screen) does work. There is a plastic semi-circle inside protecting the pcb, which comes out too, but I don't want to do that with mine and I can't remember well enough to talk you through it. I think there's a demonstration on youtube, so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgr9k4j6CnQ. Yep. Like I said, it's a bit dodgy. 1:30 mark if you're impatient. Also, you don't need a monkey wrench, but take a lot of care doing this. My connections are pretty solid, but you will be pulling on solder if you're applying too much force when it pops off.

I've replaced a few screens now by using a bradawl to lever out the old lcd cover. Any sharp thing like a dart will do, just be careful to pull it out straight by doing each side of the cover a bit at a time.

It's stupidly hard to get some SS vamo apart and usually involves getting teeth marks in the top cap. Brass ones not so much if you're careful

do you have the cover for the tesla too..sorry for hijacking the thread

 

[stealthvape]

No sorry dude. Maybe it's possible to cast one from clear epoxy?
