Lavatube 1.5

**MASTER0FDAMPF** · 05-09-2012, 11:07 AM

I have 6 LT's with my favs being the SS versions. They hit harder than the original LT's that I have. I know my LT's came from different batches (some have an apollo logo, some do not and 1 came from TW) and there are minor vaiances in most of them. The logo apollo ones are midline, the black mini with no logo from apollo is at the bottom and my full black from TW is almost as good as my SS versions, though they beat it in loaded voltage by ~.2v

I just ordered a crapload of batteries, so I will not be the first with a version 3, but I am sure I will have one before too long, likely a chrome version.

Oh well, I guess I'll just see if I truly like it or not, and if so then order the V1.5 from a different site and pass the V1 down to my GF...

I agree. I will never buy anything from Volcano. Everything they sell is way over priced. You can get a lavatube kit with 2 batteries and a case for like $60 shipped. They are ripping people off big time. If anyone wants a LT kit with a 1 year warranty for $60 let me know and I can head you in the right direction. I really want to try this new 1.5 and see how it stacks up to the original. I love the original and especially love the price. I just bought 2 SS and absolutely love the looks. Now if I could just get the new 1.5 in stainless steel I'd be all set.

wow. So do you like Lavatubes.

Like I said if they came in SS and the new 1.5 i think it would be competition for the Provari at a 1/4 of the price. I'm hoping they will come out with them soon. I sent Apollo an email asking them if they plan on getting the 1.5 but haven't heard back yet.

The L-rider V3 is due out this week or early next week. Have you seen the nice metal caps on them? very nice...the black looks much better. supposedly a 4 amp max. Take that ProVari - now...if it just came in SS...but with a V1 at 110$ I doubt we will see another SS LT. It certainly seems that it should be cheaper to make given that it is just a modified tube...the caps are chrome (in some cases in case you didn't notice).

Ha, I actually just bought the 3.0 LT from Vapor Beast (http://www.vaporbeast.com/product_p/skvb.htm) and I'm excited! I totally got the overnight shipping :P . Also ordered some juice from Highbrow and some jumbo Smoktech Resurrector cartos from CCV. Weeeee! I guess I'm kind of being a guinea pig but oh well..wish me luck!

You got it Master! I'm hoping to be able to report an awesome vaping experience. I'll try it out for a week or so and report my findings as I go along. Fair?

Thought the v3 was supposed to have the ego connection, not sure that might be a uniq 1.5, as the cap looks a bit different from the one I have from CCV, as I think they have the young jun version.... or could be the other way around....
