    Lavatube just arrived.

    Grab a Vivi Nova. Definitely. It fits the Lavatube like a glove and vapes like a dream. No cartos to mess with, absolutely will not leak and it comes with 3 heads. You can use all three of them and re-coil and rewick them for pennies if they ever burn out. Replacement heads or only about $3...

    Tanks vs. ego vision (stardust)

    Gotvapes claims that the 2.5s have a different plastic that is crack resistant. You couldn't prove it by looking. They feel and look identical to the V2 tanks. The system itself is fantastic and the plastic is less prone to cracking than the Stardusts or the DCT. It's thicker, but still...

    Tanks vs. ego vision (stardust)

    I just got my Vivi 2.5 the other day. I already had a few of the V2s and I'm nuts about them. Anyone who compares them to the 1st version or the Stardust, doesn't know of what they speak. There is only one difference in the V2.5. The wicks are longer and there are 4 of them. The tank is...

    What s best PV with the Kick

    I think you'll find that when you figure in everything, the difference is more like $50-75. The Bolt doesn't compare to the Silver Bullet. A Lavatube is closer to a Provari than a Bolt is to a Silver Bullet. For the $40 or so difference, it's not even worth considering. Frankly, the Bolt is...

    What s best PV with the Kick

    Silver Bullet. No question. Nothing else comes close, with the possible exception of the Legacy, but only because it's fully mechanical. EDIT: Sorry, I wrote this post before I read all the other ones. It was such a no-brainer I couldn't help myself. but I'm gonna leave it just so you know.

    My First VV

    Sweet! Worth twice as much as a Twist? Hint: rhetorical question. You don't have to answer that.

    Ce3 Smokymizer

    I considered those to use in a carto tank. Then I forgot all about carto tanks when I got the Vivi Novas. Those are made a lot like the Fluxomizers, except a steel case. If you're having problems with leaking and would like a see-through CE2, I highly recommend the Fluxomizers. I can't make...

    Ce3 Smokymizer

    Ooooo... Nic in the eye! Never did that one but I suspect you'll survive. Theoretically, given the same nic, you should be getting more TH with the higher PG, but there are other ingredients that affect it. That said, I haven't heard a whole lot of love being cast Halo's way for their...

    I see. Maybe you should investigate bottom feeders. The Reo Grande VV sounds perfectly suited to what you're after. reosmods.com Bottom feeders have a juice bottle built into them. You give it a little squeeze and it feeds juice into an atomizer from below. I don't think you'll have a...

    viviNova

    Cool. I've been considering that myself. Which is working better? What size of wick are you using? I'm too cheap to pay $5 to ship $2 worth of cotton. I'm hoping to find something locally.

    Ce3 Smokymizer

    If you use a carto tank, you're going to be down 1ml or so, depending on the carto size. But it's the same 1ml. If it's actually going down 1/3 or 1/4ml per puff, there's no other place for it to go but in your lungs. If the carto is filled when you fill your tank, it ain't going there. That...

    Ego-C twist?

    $115 for a 2 Twist kit with juice and a couple clearos? Yeah, robbed is the right word. $73 shipped for stainless steel Vtube, charger and 1600mah battery. $8 shipped for 2250mah spare battery $30 shipped for 2 Vivi Nova tanks with 6 atomizer heads $30 shipped for 60ml juice Included: One year...

    Ego-C twist?

    Exactly. It's bad enough paying as much for 2 Twists as you'd pay for a real, non-disposable VV with some actual battery capacity. No sense in adding insult to injury with a worthless tank system that you'll only scrap as soon as you get sick of the leaking the bad taste and all the other...

    Ce3 Smokymizer

    I used CE3s for a long time before I started using Fluxomizers. They leaked, but mostly when they were almost empty. If you notice, the only batteries they "destroyed" were eGo/Riva type batteries. I don't use disposable e-cigs, so I didn't have that problem. I vape 70%+ VG juice and they...

    I don't mean to be an ant at your picnic, but a vaccum switch, activated through a mouthpiece, in-line with a tank = disaster waiting to happen. There is a very good reason, actually a couple of them, that no high end mod has an automatic switch. Destruction from leaking is one of them. Lack...

    Second Try at E-cigs

    Wow!! A GGTS no less. At least you were failing in style. :) Should be easy going for you now.

    Been away for a while--WHAT'S THE BEST NEW KIT OUT THERE???

    If you look closer at most of the Lavatube reviews, you'll see the same complaints mostly. The plastic cover coming loose from the metal battery cover. Switch failure. You don't see any of these complaints, to speak of, with the stainless or chrome models. They still have a defect rate...

    Been away for a while--WHAT'S THE BEST NEW KIT OUT THERE???

    That's been my analogy. Would you like me to grill that steak on one 450 degree grill, or should I cut it in half and cook each half on a 225 degree grill? In fairness though, the lower coil preheats things to some extent, so the vape is a little warmer than the raw numbers would imply. So...

    Your best bet is to get 5 posts so you can post in the modder's section and ask someone there.

    Been away for a while--WHAT'S THE BEST NEW KIT OUT THERE???

    No, Smoketech made the first dual coils AFAIK, and they needed something to push them with, so the DCT tank was born. There were other tanks before dual coils came out. It seems to me that Smoketech just did it for purposes of "product differentiation", kind of like what Joye did with the...
