Have you already removed the charge on the atoms for which you are removing
vdw? Also, there can be a discontinuity at endpoints, so many researchers
do not fully disappear atoms. Are you following the method in a specific
paper? Another option is to use a soft core treatment. Since we know very
little about how you are doing the perturbation it is difficult to help.
