Lava Tube tips to get off to a good start

[jlowdo]

Firstly, and to prove i am not completely lazy I have already read the guide Gorky linked to in my previous thread... ordered LT yesterday so hope to have it by tomorrow.

I guess the two areas where some initial advice would be great to get me going is the attachment options, and the voltage usage.

so, I ordered the tank option... do i want additional tanks for my fave few liquids to just switch out? sounds like an expensive option. then i hear GGTS and RDA???? what do these mean and how do they help. I have the faint idea that the RDA is good to have, but not sure how to get one and what exactly is involved in keeping it working over time.

Secondly, what is the primary effect of changing the output voltage ( apart from draining the battery )??? do i want to be using low resistance carto's with this....

Thx guys....

Raise the voltage, coil in the carto gets hotter, vaporises more juice, you get bigger hit/flavour/burnt taste
You don't want LR cartos, you want std resistance. LR is just to almost simulate a higher voltage, on lower voltage devices.

I only really vape one type of liquid, so I have one tank, no reason why you can't have more, although I'd have a tank or two for my main vape and then use cartos for the ones vaped less often.

This here is a GGTS e-cigz.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15&sort=20a&page=3
as you can see, it's a thing of beauty, you certainly don't need one for your lavatube lol
There is a device coming to the UK very soon that will turn it into a variable wattage device, it's called the kick and when it gets here it will rank among the very best e-cigs.

The RDA is a rebuildable dripping attomizer that outperforms all atties it comes up against, again- not necessary for your lavatube and probably left until you have a bit of experience under your belt

When that lavatube comes, you can pop one battery straight in there and start vaping whilst you stick the other on charge and I promise you, you won't look back

When buying spare batteries for the LT make sure you get ones that are 65mm long! I've just managed to buy yet another 2 that are too big

cheers guys... so looks like ( good news for me ) i don't really need anything else to start getting the best out of it.... apart from maybe a tank or two...

one more Q.. i do like a lot of vapour exhalation and the stronger flavour, any recommended max setting for the output. surely don't want to max it out totally....

I played about to start with, but haven't needed to go above 4.4v for ages.
But tastes are relative, I know someone who vapes at 4.8.

Really? I sit at 5v constantly with a 2.5ohm CE2

It drains the battery a bit faster but that's all I've noticed. Not as fast as using a dual coil but dcc's don't do much on a single battery mod for me.

the beauty with variable voltage is you decide where you want it... there is no right or wrong answer just play until you find a voltage you like best ...best flavour / vapour combination

LR attys can be used of course but you will have less options of where to set the voltage so its advised to use SR to give you a full spectrum of usable voltages

For spare batteries I have bought from a link Gordy gave in another thread , cheers gordy , they seem very good so far and are from a reputable seller on fleabay

[Karma]

Can you link to the thread or the ebay seller please?

Thats the link to the pair of batteries I have just bought 2 mins ago lol , I also bought a pair last week , it's always good to have spare spares

[Karma]

Thanks Strorm, these will defo fit? and are protected?

[Deleted]

They come with a protective case if that's any help

Yes they deffo fit I've already used them in my LT's

[Deleted]

The LT has it's own protective circuitry , so that should help , as for the batteries themselves it doesn't say in the listing , but Torchy boy does have a very interesting blog , scroll to bottom of listing to link through
