Lavatube

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

dont think any of th eirish sites have them anymore

http://www.uk-eliquid.co.uk/collections/frontpage/products/lavatube-vv-mod

or http://2smok.com/mod-s/thundervolt-1/thundervolt-730.html anyway

you're probably better off getting the body only, and getting some aw imr 18650's online (flashaholics.co.uk have them for about 10 sterling each), then a charger (trustfire tr001's seem reliable.. never overcharges mmine anyway) and after that all you need is the atomiser/cartomisers

i'd reccomend a chibi tank with boge 3.0's from parkesvaping, or a mini-sub tank with boge 3.0's from mom and pops vapour store.. i havent tried the mini sub but it gets great reviews.
the main thing is the boge 3.0's

It's a lava lokalike but not from the lava tube people.
Comes with two bodies and a tank thingy.
After this month I might be tempted, price is what eGo kits were 12 months ago, seems VV is becoming an option for everyone now.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

that's... pretty ****ing interesting

although "stealth vaping" a lavatube clone, rawfl. i'd like to see that

i'll definitely keep an eye on it anyway for reviews and whatnot, see how it performs compared to the lavatube. one place the lavatube does suffer a bit is the air holes, have to use a 510-510 adapter to get a decent draw which does add an extra cm or so to the length and makes it look a bit funky.

not something I care about at all really, but something like this would be pretty sweet to have if it was a marked improvement on the 'tube as well as the customizable size options.
love the detachable battery section, that's just... clever.

--edit
rofl, date and time. so it's a ****ing watch too. my god.

Decided to go for it and just bought one. Will have it next week sometime I guess. It's on special offer at the mo and with another 10% off with discount code (ukvapers) it's not a bad deal with the 2 clearomisers. I like the idea of the 2 different sizes (coming for the lavatube soon I think). About time that I gave variable vaping a go.

tommy2bad

Thanks for the code, I'm tempted and you know what they say "can resist anything but temptation"
Do let us know how well it works and if thoes tank things are a carto inside or some kind of clearo.

seems to be the same thing, and it says they're clearomisers

will let you know how it goes when I get it. hopefully won't work out that I should have waited for more reviews before getting one.

would it not be better to wait until they have the kit with the 18650 option as well?

think that you only get the option of 2 tubes in a kit. choose 2 or 3. can always buy separately later in any case. besides I'd have to wait longer - no word on when exactly that would be in stock. 1600mah should be enough for me with the 900mah as backup or for using as a smaller device.

some more details here.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lavatube/271195-anyone-try-vision-tox-kit-2.html

how long does a lavatube last for on a 18650 battery? (1600 mah say).

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

how long is a piece of string?
I vape at 5v most of the time, and I get from fully charged to 3.6 in about a day I guess. but sometimes if I'm vaping hardcore, I have to change batteries twice in a day. it's got decent battery life i guess, and it can go further than 3.6 so i'm not using it up fully.. I just dont want to undercharge it so switch batts pretty early

here's a review of the clearo's that come with it.

considering the vison grande clearos are well reviewed and $10 each in the states and you get 2, makes the kit a very good deal imo.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it does aye, if it has similar performance to the lavatube it's a great deal really considering you get the option of a the main or mini in the same device
plus it tells the damn time!

It looks the part and there's a ton of stuff in the box but I'll hold off until I find out how it handles under load. It's limited to 2.5 amps like the L/T so no vaping LR, which is a pity.

I put myself on a list a while ago for a mod, paid for this evening - dual 18650,VV, blue voltmeter and high amperage - still want one of these if they're good.

This hobby is costing me more than the bloody fags did.
Broke again.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well my order of 10 prepunched 3ohm boge cartos from parkesvaping came today, as well as the gummi bears juice, banana waffles and caramel coffee. pretty good considering it was shipped on the 18th.
but i dont have a lavatube

It's from Stig.

I thought you were buying another from someone here?
I have a second Lavatube I may part with for €30 if you're interested...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah I have, it was posted yesterday but the local postman apparently knows which package i'm looking forward to most and is witholding it over the weekend cos he's a bastard

Was gonna get one of them from the first run that he did.
Looks to be a good Mod alright.

It's limited to 2.5 amps like the L/T so no vaping LR, which is a pity.

-- where are u getting those ideas , i wonder ?
1.5 ohm atty at 3.75 v gives your 2.5 amps
1 .6 ohm atty at 4 v = 2.5 amps , 10 watts
we are getting very same 10 watts with 2.5 ohm atty at 5v
or 3.0 ohm at 5.5 v

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

id imagine he means no vaping 1.5ohm cartos at 5 or 6 volts, which is something some crazy people like to do

alec76

it is just crazy , ( 1.5ohm at 6 v = 24 watts , 4 amps )
i mean that current I limited for safety reasons.....

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

and airplanes have doors for safety reasons, that doesn't stop people jumping out of them for sport

alec76

I presume, that american liked jumping out for sport aswell.....

When you're limited by what your local vendors stock, sometimes LR is all you can get hold of. LR cartos can be really nice at 4.5volts but you can't do this with a Lava or V1 ProVari.

With decent protected batteries and a good switching regulator vaping an LR at 5 volts is 3.3amps - it'll kill your batteries real quick and taste like a tramps underpants but it won't make your mod blow up if it has a 6 or 10 amp regulator - it's mad but it's the reason the V2 ProVari appeared.

It won't be utilized but it's great to have that option!
