Co-Op Interest for L-Rider Lavatubes for $30 each unit!!!

[Shekinahsgroom]

If anybody is interested in how the lava tube works here is another high quailty you tube video from phil. The video also compares the two different sized tubes

A PBusardo Review - VZ VV Tube Mod ( (AKA Lavatube) Full vs. Mini - Vaping Zone - YouTube

This is actually a very good review!

Probably the best and the worst one I've seen for the LT.

Phil conveniently shows the differences between the mini and the original sizes, but what he doesn't explain is why these two versions have such significant differences....(i.e. THE batteries!)

If he'd have done the same tests using high quality batteries in comparison to the factory batteries, this would have been a superior review.....But unfortunately, he ONLY shows results using the batteries that come with a factory kit.

Thumbs up for Phil's thorough review, but a BIG thumbs down for not using high quality batteries!

But it's an EXCELLENT example why you'd be a utter fool to buy the kit!

Co-Op Master, you are getting grumpy. Do you need some steep time?

(running away, but like a girl.)

This is such a difficult enterprise and we all appreciate your efforts more than you can possibly know. Just keep going, Sir Groom (definitely don't want to get the "Shek" wrong again!).

Hugs~

Uuuum, don't don't you mean GROUCHY, ma' dear?

What we gain from high quality batteries ? The battery life phil talked about seemed pretty good to me

A low quality IMR doesn't hold the voltage high enough for the regulator to boost it to it's full potential.

That's why so many people don't buy crap IMR's, cuz they don't perform well.

And Phil got all of that usage time because of the regulator, not because of the battery's mah rating, which is completely UNKNOWN! Reseller's don't even KNOW if they're IMR's...they could unprotected ICR's for all we know.

Those batteries that come with the kit are probably the lowest quality there is in China for an IMR (if it's even an IMR?) as they have absolutely NO LABELING!!

Nothing, zip, zero, nada, SQUAT....not even a mah rating!

That's NOT good and screams "low-quality garbage".

And I dunno if anybody noticed or not, but Phil showed a BIO 18650 IMR cell early on in his review. It's the blaze orange cell that he DIDN'T use!

Those are the cells that held a higher voltage throughout their use OVER an AW IMR.

But nothing can touch the Panasonic....cuz it just destroyed everything!

I'm out, thanks for the efforts everyone.

 

[arkywolf]

Been following. Shek youo seem to be doing a good job. Not sure if I could stayed in like you have.

 

[Shekinahsgroom]

I'm out, thanks for the efforts everyone.

Cracked another one....

 

[SuperLuckyLady]

I'm still in. Thanks Shek!

 

[Katdarling]

Yeah, I'm here too... as long as the trashman is.

 

[salemgold]

I was just reading elsewhere what a HUGE difference the batteries do make. It seems as if many are saying that they are experiencing the voltage drops with the lower quality batteries and not with the higher quality batteries.

You know, what Shek said

 

[Shekinahsgroom]

Just to let everyone know...again.

I have purchase order invoices for the Panasonic CGR18650CH 10A 2250 mah high drain batteries, the BIO 18650 1500 mah IMR's and the BIO 18350 800 mah IMR's.

I also have the purchase order invoice for the L-Rider 18650 & 18350 models.

Almost everything is complete as I just need to verify any possible obstructions like import and duty taxes on all of the shipments, calculate the T/T fee to L-Rider, verify any recent postal service priority mail increases or pick-up fees, and my expenses.

When those areas have been covered and verified, we'll be ready to open the first coop!

First off I just received my new PV this weekend and I do not feel that I need another. Yeah for me! I think I'm at the sweet spot of no analogs and i'm vaping 24/7 without the urge to smoke! I thought I would post to this forum to let everyone know since the co-op has not took off as of yet I would recind my order. And the comment above really bother's me, I would more than willing to pay for the Lavatube shek is negotiating. But if you really want to make comment's like you have above like "Cracked another One" then you can genuinely kiss my ... and have a nice day. Lets go to another room Shek were you can man up and step up. Before you EVER berate someone on this forum you better think twice. I kindly bowed out and you berated me and to that I can say...., sorry I already told you to kiss my ... so I wont say it again. Nuff said

 

[salemgold]

Congratulations on being off the cigs vid! That is great news. I truly think that Shek was just kidding around meaning that you got tired of waiting and meant no harm in his comment.

I just wanted to congratulate you on being cig free No matter what means you used to get there it is great news!

I'm still in for 2 18650 with batts. Is someone going to notify us or do we need to track the thread, I don't always check ECF due to work schedule?

 

[araczynski]

still in for two 18650's, have the 4 tenergy 18650's you referenced in the ebay auction a while back, hopefully they deliver well with these.

thanks for the wheeling/dealing Shrek

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if you got 3 days out of a Tenergy, Zyn!

As Salem said, congrats on total vaping!

vid, have you never come home with a box of eggs and had one broken? I do think that Shek was just having fun with that comment and certainly meant you no harm at all. I have a sincere feeling that he was not berating you in the slightest. Sorry you felt that way. And, best wishes.

 

[kaykay]

i am still in for one 18350

As I said (somewhere!?!?). I think good batteries would make a world of difference. Can you dig up the thread?
