So i just received my Lt today. First thing first mines is silver, and the first thing i notice when opening it, is that it looks really nice... so i took it out and pressed the fire button and on the first initial click it got stuck.. F@@king serious!!!!!i have never bought anything in my entire life that had a fault on my first handle... spent $104 for something that isnt considered a product ready to be marketed... i dont want to bash on the lavatube or the people who market these but i think someone needs to address the issue. i read a few people saying things about this device and i took the majority on the favorite side. as im writing this im pressing the button and if i press it straight in, thats when it gets stuck, but if i press in a downward angle its all good...i think i would get over it do to the fact my last cig was last night and the fact that i dont have juice to fire in this bad boy... But i am certain that it does frustrate me a bit... happy valentines day peeps...


Edit: Even though i had no juice, and no batt inside i just played with it and it worked itself out... I jumped the gun but then again its my money. No problem now except the fact i still got no juice..

I had a similar thing happen with mine... It was not first click but within the first 30 min of use... Happened several times over the course of several days... Just as I was getting ready to do a ticket with CS at Volcano it stopped sticking... That was end of Nov when they were pre-released... Not sure if was a bit of breaking in or whatever... It stopped sticking after a few days and has not happened since...

HTH....

I was greatly relieved when the sticky button ceased... I have/had been vaping since may of last year and have plenty of supplies juice, devices, and the like but had been following the LT since the rumors of it started here on the forums.. I had high expectations for it but was well aware that it was a cheaper (use the term loosely) rendition of a very popular device and being made in china I was being realistic for a fail... So far so good... Over 2 months later and no issues since the button stopped sticking... Overall a win considering the investment comparatively to other VV devices IMO...

Quick ???? Ha-y-an.... Your in Hawaii correct... Is there not several kiosks in malls for Volcano that you could pick up some Juice...

yes i do live in hawaii.. unfortunately the places youre talking about is on the island of oahu. thats why i was tripping out that it took only a day and a half to get here. i thought they were on the east coast. ill give their juice a try very soon.. i was told the blue ocean(something like that) was good. any suggestions?

Only Juice I have really cared for was the Cherry Lava.... Best tasting cherry juice I have tried but I am limited to 2 previous examples.... Others I tried were were the Traditional Tobacco and the Menthol Burst which were both decent but nothing to get overly excited about...

In all honesty there juice is not really worth the price tag of near 13$ for 15 mls... Unless you can sample freely at one of their cafes which I have one near me... There are much better options out there for less dough....

Not considered to be marketed?

There are lots of companies selling the LT now, and for a lot less than $104. Unless thats the total money you included in other accessories that came with your LT. But you could get a whole kit for about $60

I hear you, we vets do wait and get the best price, but some people think they are getting something"better" or of better quality by paying more money. Similar to Janty saying there joye egos have better QC.


Although I do know that when ordering in bulk from china instead of a warranty, they might say 30 defective units per thousand. and some people might negotiate a better price but there warranty might be 60 defective per 1000.

So some pay more to get 10 defects per thousand and if you get over 10 per thousand. the supplier will save defects and say they get 20. They will send them back and they will be reimbursed 10, or what often happens is they say ok. WE give this much money back, so now you should expect 50 per 1000. It is a game they play.
