Weird formatting in a smaller created empty set symbol
A while back I created my own sort of emptyset symbol because the "not equal" slash didn't line up and it annoyed me. So I defined my own emptyset via DeclareMathOperator{vempty}{{centernot{Circle}}}. However, when I try to use it in a subscript (as demonstrated below), the slash becomes unaligned with the circle. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Here's my MWE:
documentclass[12pt]{letter}
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,centernot,cases}
usepackage{wasysym}
DeclareMathOperator{vempty}{{centernot{Circle}}}
DeclareMathOperator{vempty}{{text{O}}}
begin{document}
Example of difference between emptyset, varnothing, and vempty:
begin{equation*}
neq emptyset quad neq varnothing quad neq vempty
end{equation*}
Example of pathological behavior:
begin{equation*}
int_{varnothing} f dm quad int_{vempty} f dm
end{equation*}
end{document}

Symbols from wasysym are defined as
mbox{wasyfamilysymbol{<number>}}
so they don't change size in subscripts. Add text around it.
Oh, and it's not an operator, but an ordinary symbol.
documentclass[12pt]{letter}
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,centernot,cases}
usepackage{wasysym}
newcommand{vempty}{{centernot{text{Circle}}}}
begin{document}
Example of difference between emptyset, varnothing, and vempty:
begin{equation*}
neq emptyset quad neq varnothing quad neq vempty
end{equation*}
It's horrible also in subscripts texttt{;-)}
begin{equation*}
int_{varnothing} f dm quad int_{vempty} f,dm
end{equation*}
end{document}
Personal note: I consider varnothing a symbol good for plumbers. Your variation is even uglier. ;-)

Is there a way to create a symbol which is more aesthetic and has the same slash angle asneq? I tried, for example,centernot{0}, but the slash was misaligned inside of the zero.
