My 2 pools worth - I seem to read this card differently to everyone
else. I may be wrong.
I play the card during close range combat if the using vamp has greater
base damage, (i.e. 2 hand damage beats normal hand damage, chainsaw
beats 2 hand damage), before bonus damage for the combat is added.
Then, the PF card allows you to use that advantage, pull a fang, and
use that as a 1 aggr. damage weapon. And you keep it - just like a Zip
Gun. And during current and future combat you can then use bonuses like
Undead Strength, which would give you a 2 or 3 aggr. damage strike.
As far as removing the fang is concerned, as long as 2 successful
attempts, from any other vampires over however many turns, to burn the
fang take place, then the card is burned.
To me, this interpretation seems more in keeping with the card text.

That's kind of silly. The way I interpreted the card, was that when
you're at close range with another vampire, you pull THEIR fang (or shoot
it out with something, etc) and that hurts so much that the vampire goes
to torpor.
Now that the vampire has no more fangs, it can't hunt (see the card), and
it takes a while to grow the fangs back. In order to grow the fangs
back, the vampire needs some blood through a straw. So another vampire
has to make two separate actions (which are basically just feeding the
fangless vampire until he can heal) before the vampire can hunt again,
and continue to heal at his own rate.
Your explanation doesn't say why the vampire cannot hunt anymore.

There is a Nosferatu Merit in V:TM which consists of oversized fangs,
which do additional damage in combat.
The Toreador with an overbite is a funny concept.

Chomp.

Ok - I see your point. I thought the vamp couldn't hunt because of the nature of the
aggr. damage. In your interpretation, how can that vamp hunt when it has received aggr.
damage and has been sent to torpor anyway?

The "cannot hunt" restriction applies if the vampire is rescued from torpor
before getting its fangs back.
