Lava Tube tips to get off to a good start

[jlowdo]

mine definitely to cool down after about 5 seconds but may continue to be working although not at a constant rate.... would that seem correct?

No, that doesn't seem right at all
What attie/carto's are you using on it?

As Blakey said the usual cut off after a long draw is around 10 - 12 seconds , bit short for me sometimes and it seems like 5 seconds , I just let go of the button and depress again for continued vape

3.5 dct tank with standard battery at about 4.5

[jlowdo]

but does the same with a standard boge

Is the battery fully charged jlowdo?

You can check the voltage of the battery by pressing the power button 7 times. What voltage are you vaping at?

[jlowdo]

think it was 4.0 when i checked.... but might be down to about 3.7 now. this that cut off the draw time?

[jlowdo]

usually running it between 4.3 - 4.7... maybe a bit higher on a couple of liquids, if thats what you mean?

[maccafan]

Depends on what resistance cart you have got on. What voltage are you vaping at?

You can try with a freshly charged battery and see if that cures the issue and post back.

[jlowdo]

will do... but have been using mostly the 3.5 DCT tank which i thought was the ideal match for the LT?

[jlowdo]

and vaping at max 4.7... mostly round 4.2 -4.4

[jlowdo]

just checked... battery at 4.0, straight out of charger.. using both tank and standard boge, stops vaping about 6 seconds... the riva goes on much longer. do you think this is a fault?

I got my lavatube wet (and I mean soaked) . Don't ask.....

Dried it for about 18 hours in rice. Still 0 working. Comes on when you put a battery in then auto switches off.....Can't alter the voltage - nothing

Any tips?

Speak to the supplier privately for advise.

You've broken it in a nutshell I'd imagine Jane . . . electronics like this are not waterproof, nor can you realistically expect them to be.

You might find some further drying out will help, but I'd be dubious about that.

Have you tried running your DCT & LT at under 4v's James? There's a limiter on both it and the Provari that restricts the voltage you can run a DC on . . . whether that's the problem or not, I'm not technically savvy enough to know.

As Macca said . . . I'd contact your Supplier, who I think is probably Kev and he's away on holiday right now . . .
