Chrome Lavatube disappointment.

[A17kawboy]

Greetings all! Ive been vaping for 63 days now and loving it. Used to smoke 1.5-2 pad. Last one was the day I got my ego-c starter kit. It was overpriced but it was a good way to get started. Quickly moved up to ego twists (variable voltage rules!) and then ordered a chrome lambo. The lambo is a real nice unit. Good build quality and practically no issues. The only thing is it doesn't check atomizer resistance. Soooo...I got a chrome YJ v2. What a pos! Its made from aluminum not brass like the lambo. The bottom required sanding so it would stand up without wobbling. The batteries that came in the kit are ICR not IMR. And the worst part is the 510 connector strips out. Maybe the one Phil Busardo reviewed was different than the one I purchased. He preferred the YJ version to the lambo. I certainly do not. Anyone else with the same experience?

I bough my chrome lavatube about a month ago, within a week all the chrome plating had rubbed off the large fire button, I can live with that but now the rubber seal around the center pin is deformed and causes the lavatube to short to ground on every 510 atty and carto i put on it. Not impressed but enjoyed it while it was working properly.

Sent in a warranty request so we will see what happens.

l. . . Soooo...I got a chrome YJ v2. What a pos! . . . .

What is a YJ v2? Is that some particular vendor's re-branded name for a generic lavatube?

I got the stainless steel VTube from Apollo and it has been fine. It's heavy, seems well built and works fine.

If you look at pbusardo's review on youtube (In Depth Chrome Lavatube Review, I think it's called) he explains the differences between the two chrome versions of LT that are out right now.

Well thank you for replying. Lol. I would recommend the chrome version with the red menu button. So long as you're ok with a 2.5 amp limit and no resistance reading for atomizers that is. The build quality seems much superior to the Yung Jun version imho.
