Thanks for your help everyone.

Now I just need advice on the ohms

E-cig wizard does 3 ohms and 1.5 ohms.

I think I'm right in saying the 1.5 ohms is stuck to about 3.7 volts on the Lavatube. So if I went for the 3 ohms presumably I would be able to whack the voltage up a lot?

yep you are totally right 1.5 ohms x 2.5 limit = 3.7 max volts
3.0 ohms will allow you to go all the way up to 6volts

I'm using 1.5 ohms and vape at 3.8.

Don't care! Lol

[Gordy]

it may tell you its 3.8 but it will only actually give you 3.7volts
the lavatube just pretends where as the provari will just give you an error message

[Anne (fuzzy)]

That's not fair! Lol.

I don't think I could stand 6V anyway, it would blow my head off! The highest I've tried is 5.

if it was a standard size hole then it looks like the coils/air tube got dislodged and allowed juice to 'free flow' if this happens again have a go at taking a straightened paper clip and poke it gently up the battery end center hole.. you may have to wobble slightly but dont use and force to make it pass up to the top ...this should realign the coils/tube

Wish I knew that earlier - I can sense a rummage through the bin coming on to rescue the one I chucked to see if that gives it a new lease of life.

i dont hit 5 volts that often... like to be around 4.2 to 4.5 ... i did try 6 volts when i first got my provari and ended up burning my lips.. learnt that lesson fast

I'm going to have to invest in some paperclips. I have a bodkin though, won't that do?

im not too sure what that is as im a typical guy but as ling as its as thin as a paper clip then yeah i dont use needles though as its better if it has a blunt end so you dont catch the coil or tube

Tbh, I've found that at 3.7v the DCC 1.5 ohms on the LT, gives a really nice vape. I can't see the need to go any higher, but it would be nice to have the choice I suppose.

[Gordy]

it is a nice vape Womble and a combo that i use alot

The second DCC that I used in the tank did exactly the same as the 1st.

Which was, after about 2 or 3 days, start flooding and when you blow it out, continues dumping liquid till it is all gone.

I've tried wiggling a paperclip in there till I'm blue in the face and it doesn't work.

It's a great vape and I'm hesitant to give it up because of that, but I can't go on with the cartos only lasting a couple of days.

Any more ideas?

The flanged ones I got seem to last 3 - 4 weeks no problem, just ordered some more from HC.
