New Chrome Lavatube? READ THIS!

[maccafan]

Dunno if you got the mini or the normal size but vapethings are doing 18650 2000mAh IMR's for a very good price:

www.vapingthings.com/AW_IMR_BATTERIES_700-2000MAH_FROM__649-_849/p1311952_7001727.aspx

I think Perpetua tried them and maybe she can give you some feedback as to how they perform.

another alternative which is new to the market is CGR18650CH now available from safercigs:

I got my new shiny today and would like to say that this thing is soooooooooo good.
delivery was really fast and am a happy bunny.
I had the V1 but thats going back as the top cap is falling off, so this is my new replacement toy.
Compared to the V1 this thing works way better. on a 2.9 res boge cart i was having to goto 5v on the v1 to get some sort of vape, with my new v2.1 am at 4.2v and its much much better. Taste is alot better and am puffing away like a steam train now.
Only problem i have now is i now need to carry a cloth to keep this thing finger print clean lol

[Perpetua]

Brilliant news Davie . . . delighted your pleased with your new shiny.


Cotton gloves could always be another option.


And the AW IMR I got from Vapingthings, performs every bit as well as the other AW's I've got.

This could be my next mod...............Liking my LT & can't afford a Provari at present...........unless there's an alternative

[dave]

There is always the Twist chrisjw - they perform very well and are great value for money - especially it you get them from Health Cabin

My wife got one for me as a prezzie during the week too. Ive been really happy so far with it.

Chris, as I understand it, there isnt much need to get a '2.1' if you have an older model unless you use DCT at low ohms, you`d be best to save you money or get the twist as Dave suggested (a twist is what got me into VV and totally recommend one for your collection).

..if I can fault these 2.1 or 1.5t or whatever LTs its the button- seems a little bit clicky.

Can i add this for everyone here...

On friday in the horrible weather i decided to see how much the lavatube can take, the tests it went through was "accidently" closing a door on it, accidently stamping on it with steel toe capped boots, accidently throwing it at concrete from a second floor window and, what im sure everyone does, accidently driving over it(in the rain aswell).

These tests were done without the base cap screwed in aswell to remove any support that might have...

Apart from looking at little battered, the unit still fires up and works

So you've had a lovely weekend then #icon_rofl# #icon_rofl# #icon_rofl#

Should point out here that the v1 v1.5 and v2 buttons are all clicky

I would like to say that the battery indicator is not accurate at all. With half a charge left in the battery and showing 3.8 on the old LT the new LT was only showing one bar left.
But other than that its still better than the old LT

[hissie]

Awww the chrome is coming off the button

Also I think this model drains the battery power a lot faster than the old LTs. I'm also having mis-firing issues as well.

Good piece of kit, but has issues.

Mines exactly the same Hissie. I also had misfiring issues too but that seems to have improved now

[hissie]

It has pretty much just started to misfire over the last couple of days to be fair.

Just abit sad the the chrome is rubbing off.

[beeratz]

Yeah there's a few of us that have the 'colour coming off the button' issue. I started a thread on it the other day allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=9025&page=1#205365 (sorry don't have clue how to make the linky smaller :-[ ) and vapour hut posted asking anyone affected to get in touch and they would apply credit to their account
