Hello Jason, thanks for the LT I love it, loads better than my black one... although the vivi black tank doesn't really match up... I'm too tight to buy another tank.... Outnumbered, sorry I missed your post about the screw thing initially, too busy doing those pics, although, like Jason, I'm also intrigued, a picture would be good.

I had the same thing with the VIP cigalikies when i started out. After emailing the company and explaining the problem they responded that i must have charged it for more than the recommended 2 hours and therefore it was my negligence. No wonder i found a much better, cheaper, longer lasting method of vaping soon after. Didn't you tell them that for safety the battery should have a cut off when it reaches a certain charge, and if that failed, despite how long you left it on, then there was a manufacturing fault, and the device was actually not just unfit for purpose, but very unsafe too... Yes it is good practice to take them off when they are charged, but that safety feature should be, and in my experience of VIP's, is in place, if it failed, then that's their problem IMO.

Right, so I did this real quickly, just to try it, you could obviously take more time about it, cut it down smaller and neater so that it looks better, or better still, is near invisible, but this is basically what I mean Youll need a card, and a pair of scissors, cut out a U shape like this... Make it so it fits around the screw thread of the Nova, and doesnt stick out the edges, also try and keep the air hole of the nova in the gap/top of the U shape, like in this picture. On it will look like this, well actually hopefully yours wont look this bad, as I said, take more time about it make it look smarter or invisible. Mine sticks out a little. The draw on it is so much better after this little addition, and it cost nothing Hope this helps. Or if you're not as tight as me, you could just buy a plinth, lol.

IF you want to fix the airflow temporarily whilst you wait for a plinth (or permanently in my case, I'm a tight arse) you could cut a small U, or horse shoe shape out an old credit, top up, or similar plastic card, and put it around the screw thread of the vivi, making sure that one of the holes on the vivi is at the top of the U when you put it on the LT, if you get what I mean, will try and get some pics in a minute.

Thanks oneday, I have been lurking, reading often, but not posting... Not just this forum, the footy forums I go on too. Got a bit more time on my hands at the minute though, so everyone has to put up with my ramblings again.

Think Dave has something here, if its the chrome you are using, with the recessed ego connector, it could be an airflow problem. I use that setup myself, and if you put just a little too much juice in the vivi, because of the lack of airflow, when you draw on it, the juice is sucked into the centre tube in a straw like effect. It doesn't gurgle, and there is no noticeable sign that this has happened (not enough air) but you cant get anything off it. I'm not sure if this was the right thing to do, but it worked for me. I blew mine through from the drip tip end, into a piece of tissue I had over the screw thread end, (quite a bit came out,) until the tube was clear, cleaned it all up, cleaned up the LT connector, then continued vaping with long slow draws, until it was vaping like a train again, happy days. If you don't have the chrome version, then I just wasted 5 minutes of my life lol, never mind, hopefully somebody reads this and learns from my mistake not to over fill it. # #

Hmmm, Mine's a well fitted thread, although it is tricky to get right, and I can cross thread it easily, but that applies to both the poly and the metal one, apart from that, and when I get it right, it does feel tightly on. If nobody else has any ideas, perhaps you should just contact the vendor and get it replaced, see if a different tank is any better. Don't give up on the metal tanks, mine is great, and it is nice to be able to put any juice in without worry... ...I love mine, I'm just trying to find a way of getting rid of that burning rubber taste without using no-resistance wire on the legs when I rewick it

I use a metal tank on mine, no problems, the only time I've heard of people having problems, its been because they didn't quite get the threads correctly lined up, they can be tricky little buggers to screw together properly, could it have been because of that?

I got the new one from ivapour-elixir, and its a definite hold the red button for five secs to turn it off - it's the L-Rider manufactured one. So far seems nicely put together... My chrome L-rider Lambo 4.0/Lavatube 4.0 seems to be great quality, but this thread has got me a little worried now, does anybody know if the quality on this version I have is just as bad? Or are there any known issues I should look out for? I really like it though, really pleased with it tbh.

Gordy, I had an idea to solve this problem without no resistance wire... Not sure it will work, but what do you think????
It goes like this, we all know that you can wrap the negative wire around the outside rather than putting it up the outside of the rubber grommet, but that still leaves the positive. What if I put the positive lead up the inside of the metal positive pin/tube rather than between the positive pin and grommet? I could leave a few MMs on the end and carefully fold those MMs back up inside the tube to ensure a secure connection.... Do you think it's worth a go?

I don't suppose for one moment that the parents intended to kill their children. Maybe they thought that if their house was damaged by fire, then the council would re-house them somewhere bigger..... The rumours around the community, (if I can still call it that, ) are that this was exactly the case. We'll find out for sure when they appear before the crown I guess.

the love you get (as a parent) from a child is unconditional, unmeasureable & infinite......when I look into any of my children's eyes and see the love shine back to me makes me realise how all the struggle is worth it. I have always felt sorry for my friends who have never had children as they will never experience this wonderful gift. As to the parents of the six tragic child deaths, well lets see what happens in the next couple of days with forensic evidence test results before throwing 'stones', as the police are notorious for making the wrong assumptions early on in cases like this. I didn't want to believe it either Rok, but unfortunately they've been remanded to prison, by a judge, in the face of various bits of evidence, one piece being the fact he was seen on CCTV that night buying petrol in a jerry can when he only owns a diesel vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I really want them not to be guilty, but it's not looking good at all.

I feel sick, to think they could do that to their own kids Lot's of us sent our love and thoughts to that couple, and all that time they knew they'd just killed their own kids. 6 Innocent little angels, killed by the very people that are supposed to protect them, I really do feel sick. How could you, How? You're supposed to love your children, how could you not love them, how could you even hurt them, never mind kill them. I just can't get my head around it, it really does make me sad. Sorry for venting here, but sometimes the anonymity of this place makes it good for venting. On the other hand though, you've got parents like lewis mighty's dad, who would kill himself if it meant his partner could spend 1 more day with her precious son. BTW thanks for the ideas (honestly thought I'd replied already) I'm hoping to enter the fun run for Lewis, with my family, and maybe dressed in our 'jimjams.'
