I would use the generic battery from my generic LT but I have decided on the kit. Also the provari would wreak havoc with my OCD. I already Obsesive compulsive disorder OCD my twist adjusting the voltage so it is right at the line and crap like that. I would hate it. I would hit the button 14 times to get it to the voltage I want and "it woudn't feel right" so instead of hitting button to 4.4 then back to 4.5 I would have to hit a million buttons to go to 4.4 then a million to go back to 4.5. (Basically OCD is like you feel real anxious until you do what ever your thinking about doing compulsively) mine has alot to do with texture and feel.

Anyways What I meant About the voltage thing is where it top at at 4.5 with a 1.5ohm atty or where it allow me to go to 6 while only feeding 4.5?
That is what I meant.

not entirely sure how this one is gonna run yet as far as the safety of voltage with ohms. but on the previous version if your running a atty above its limit, it will drop the voltage down to a safe level. so say if you should be capped at 4.5 but have it set at 6v, it would auto drop the voltage to any where between 4.5 and lower depending on the device itself.

So here is my thoughts on the release of the LT V2.

-They have overhauled their site just last night/this morning

-They have put the V1 ON SALE

They are trying to unload as much of the V1 stock before the put the V2 up. They are not going to put the V2 up until they have cleared a substantial amount of the V1's out.

I see the release being days if not a couple of weeks away.

Would be hard for them to clear LT1 stock when everyone is holding off from ordering, waiting for the LT2 lol

Who is everyone? Not everyone who vapes is on FB, or ECF, or the volcano forums. It would be silly to release the new version while holding stock of the V1, which would people choose when they stuble upon the volcano site? The new one majority of the time. Thus loosing capital from the investment of V1's. Sell as many V1's in a short period of time, write the rest off. Then release the V2 and increase your profits. They may have great CS, but they are still a company in capitalistic America.

But they must also realize that the "vaping world" is moving extremely fast, for example my gf wanted a new LT but she seen that provari is coming out with colored mini's ( purple ) = she's sold, I myself don't want a provari, but am looking at alternatives simply ( childish I know ) because "I want it now " .... When there's new things coming out virtually daily, it's not good to "put something off" .... All that being said, I'm still waiting on the LT- idk for how much longer though

Sadly, I think your right. I don't see them releasing this for a couple weeks. Hopefully that is not the case but business is business. I echo lava man as well, have the money right now to buy a provari but have been waiting for the new LT , my current LT is acting wonky and was hoping to have it for my trip in 2 weeks. I'm giving it another week, then decide what to do.

From the customer service rep a few days ago on the Volcano Forum.

I do just want to remind everyone that we have never given a release date or a promised date or time frame. We have always made sure to say that everything was tentative, guesstimates, possibly and so on. it would be unfair for us to do otherwise. It would be wrong of us to do so.

When you are dealing with a new product that is not made by anyone else, that is a prototype, that needed to go through testing... then fix the issues found... then go through testing again (with 2-4 hand made devices) and THEN finally begin the production stage (which takes time to make thousands)... then be inspected and shipped... then they have to pass customs... and then finally arrive. This all takes time and will not happen over night.

The very first 4 prototypes arrived in early June while at Vape Stock in FL (just 2 months ago) and then those had to be tested. a little under a month later 2 more prototypes (made by hand) arrived for testing(about 1 month ago). Once all the kinks were worked out the okay for production was given.

I would much rather we bring you a product that has been made to the best quality with out a bunch of issues and some very upset customers. Wouldn't you rather receive a properly working device that has been tested and that you can have faith in what you are buying?

We have never lied to anyone, never promised dates or given false hope. We have always been very clear that the true release date was "soon". This is unfortunately just how things work and I am sorry. Please be patient with us just a little bit longer. This is what happens with the release of every single new product and we truly want it to be a good experience. We field a lot of CS tickets and private messages filled with a lot hostility and people upset or feeling lied to. Please hang with us and be patient and they will be arriving SOON.

It could go either way I suppose. Just going with my gut feeling right now, and my gut says, a week or more.

We can speculate all we want but no telling. All I know is that they used the terms "projected SALE date" and "Release date". Joe has also said we will know when it is in his hand, whether they tell people it has arrived and then give a release date or just release it who knows...

All I know is I've destroyed all my ego batteries, my last twist is intermittent, USPS lost my Bolt package, and I need to send my SS Vtube back by tomorrow. I have to order something by then. Actually I prob will have to get a battery locally while waiting on shipping now that I think about it. Crap.

Well, usually , when someone says between August 3rd to August 9th it will be released , I take that as the 9th is " our worst case scenario" now I realize about delays and etc in shipping and I don't pretend to know what happens in customs?? But I took it as = by the 9th I can order it and have it by Saturday!!! Now that is out the window, I'm not mad s--t happens... I'll wait another day I guess

See below

There is a chance of them showing up on 8/3 but they are most likely gonna be here between the 6th and the 9th of Aug.

So, yeah, they've probably SHOWN UP at their warehouse in HI. Never said anything about a sale date.

This same info was posted by ArtistBoy (Forum MODERATOR on volcano), and then the previously quoted post from Shadow Realm was posted about no promises being made about any sale date.

So how good is the sale date coming from the forum Admin compared to CS rep.? You know? Just saying. :2c: again

All in all, don't you think the aug 3rd to 9th date was/is a little misleading then? I never said anything about promises, nor am I upset that they aren't released yet.... Just simply stating that " I can't/won't wait much longer" I've had a vmax in the "cart" a few times this week, so I'm obviously giving volcano as much time as possible, but I DO need a new PV , so I'm just hoping they get it done
