Coming Soon, The Lavatube

[Matt_417]

Too late to join the secret club.
So far sales have been to those who got in on the pre-order. The LavaTube is supposed to go up for sale to the general public soon (first week of December).

I am having one small problem and also a question. There was a DCC that was sent with the kit. There is a very small pinhole in the side of it. Does that mean it is for a tank? My issue is that if there is even a LITTLE bit too much juice, the unit pretty much stops -- hard draw, barely if any vape, and i have to clean it out and make sure that there is absolutely no juice that comes out the bottom. Am i doing something wrong? This has happened occasionally on the ego and I can tell right away if it gurgles but it still works.

You can use that carto without a tank, just put a piece of tape over the hole then it is just a DCC. You can buy the SmokeTech tank quite reasonably at https://www.madvapes.com/Dual-Coil-510-Tank-Cartomizer_p_3324.html for $12 or a smaller one https://www.madvapes.com/Dual-Coil-510-Tank-Cartomizer-35ml_p_3368.html for $10.

Both come with a DCC like the one you have.

If you don't need one right away you can get them for $9 and $8.5 at http://www.greenhouseone.com/Electronic-Cigarette-Cartomizers-s/34.htm

If you have questions about this tank mod let me know I've had one for several weeks.

Thanks errol! I tried it with my J tank and no go. The juice i think is too thick to go into that little hole (I use 100% VG alien visions). Good idea on the tape trick though, never thought of that!

Snip the flat end off a carto condom to make a sleeve to cover carto holes, too.

Hi Dotma,

The Smok Tech tank is a very well built unit, probably as good as any and particularly at the price. The only problems I have is it is proprietary, it is built for that extra long Smok Tech carto with that miniscule hole that is way too small for many. It's about 1/32" .035 and that may wick a straight PG mix but it won't wick VG which I also use. I re-drilliled the hole a little larger larger .045" and drilled a little bit larger hole .050" nearer the top to make sure the top coil was properly fed and it still won't wick for me, even after I mixed a 50/50 VG/PG batch.

It is a nice carto though and I'll keep experimenting in small increments until I get it to wick without flooding.

My nicquid is 75VG23PG2PGA. No problems wicking.

Unique word "nicquid", hadn't seen it before. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with mine wicking!

Ordered it Thurs. and it is in transit as I write. Two day free shipping, should be here Mon. or Tue. That is not bad considering a week ago I had never heard of it. I did a lot of research before I purchased it though. With the discount total cost was around 111.00 and that is with (2) xtra bats.

Where exactly did you order it from vaprhed? I've been looking and all I've been able to find are vids and reviews...when I go to the site and click BuyNow there is no Lava Tube option...

I ordered the lavatube on Dec 1st with the 2 day fedex option. It is now in my area and should be delivered today.

I had to use the sitemap option at their website to find the lavatube. It is a bit confusing because it still has "preorder" language.

Customer Service does not have the link for the preorder and is not giving it out to people if they create a support ticket asking. Please do not contact our CS department for the link. The Lavatube is still preorder, and not meant to be up for general sale yet, as our stock numbers are not ready for a general public release yet. We are looking at a public release next week. We are currently awaiting our next shipment form the factory, this shipment will also be containing our Red and Silver Lavatubes. Once that shipment is in we will open sales to the public.

Once again please do not open a support ticket asking for the Lavatube they can not give it out. Thank you.

You must be on the preorder list to order. It is not for general sale yet.

You could take a plumbers pipe cutter and cut the tube down so it fits the Boge cartos if you want to

The lavatube may be a good V V device, I hope it is, I doubt if it will replace my Darwin or Provari, but will be a nice addition to my V V collection. I dont really understand why there is such a ridiculous delay in getting these to the market place.at one time they were supposed to be available 1st week in December...well here we are..they are obviously readily available in the UK..and made in China, and available for wholesale purchases. Maybe to hype up the sales? And then only available in a $100 kit?? Most of us wont need the batterys or case or atty (no brand mentioned atty, or resistance)...just the device.

I hope more vendors buy these from China and get them on their sites, competition drives prices down.

I ordered from spain (solovapor.es) the other day and was just informed they are shipping around end of this week (next Monday). Looks like allot of vendor's will be stocked by mid month.
