New Chrome Lavatube? READ THIS!

[DiscoDes]

Has anyone listened to their carto?

Mine pulses, slower on the lower voltages but as you ramp the voltage up the frequency of the pulses gets higher. It must be the voltage regulating circuit doing it.

I bet if you put it on a oscilloscope it would be some sort of square or sine wave output.

Loving mine got the mini looks great and vapes great,First time my wife as said something ecig related looks good.

They are PWM..

Limited to approx 10 watts according to tests run on the oscilliscope..

Hey guys, I got mine this morning and it works great with the two stardust's it came with . But all my other tanks show as shorts!

I have tried another stardust, a vivi nova and a DCT. All varying resistances and they all indicate as 0.0Ohms and the LT says LO when I press the trigger (I am guessing this is the short protection kicking in).

I called my next door neighbour round and tried the same tanks in his older LT, V2 I think, and they all worked fine!

I have contacted Alex via the VH website in case it needs to go back, but I figured I'd see what you guys think as to what is going wrong. ???

Ahhhh! Pulse width Modulation eh, I used to sell dimmers and that is what they did to dim light fittings.

These are the new 3.2A output V2.1 lavatubes.

Another thing I've discovered is that the Mini Argento end cap fits the lavatube and vice versa.

I am given to understand the circuitry acts like a Kick with max output of about 9.5 to 10 watts with approx 3 amp limit..Yes those youngjune V2.1 or 1.5 as they are known in the US..

Mine arrived this morning, just haven't had the chance to use it yet. Thanks for the heads up des

It just says ICR18350 900mah 3.7v. It does have a slight lip at the positive end. No branding on it. (Blue in colour).

ICR just means Lithium cobalt oxide cathode..So must just be a generic unprotected battery..

I wouldn't use it in a unprotected mod..

Macca, I have a couple of these batteries. If you look very closely at the bottom of them there is a sort of faint criss cross pattern. I thought that was the protection circuit?

The batteries look exactly like the protected 18650's on vape escape (apart from being 18350's obviously)

Apologies, i think I have my bats confused, i'm talking about the blue bats that came with my mini argento. I don't have a shiney LT yet so probably shouldn't be on this thread :-[

Oh dear Karma it looks like chrisjw-itis is spreading fast it seems a lot of people here are catching it. Even me earlier today. I suggest you get innoculated witha large dose of commonus sensicus as soon as you can!

Mmm, yes, I think so maybe

What did he say?

[Cheshire Vapes]

Just to quote this again:

"To turn the device on/off simply press the power button 5 times. To check the resistance of the atomiser simply press the power button once whilst the device is power, this will then show you the resistance, after a few seconds it will then cycle to a second screen showing you the current voltage the device is set at. To increase/decrease the voltage simply press the + button to increase and - button to decrease.

When you first insert a battery in the device, the unit will flash 3 times, it will now remain in a powered off state untill you press the power button 5 times to turn it on"

This does seem to be an issue alot of people are having at the moment
