JonboyUSMC's Lava Tanks

[Wolf]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the o-rings?

Sugi is actually Sugilite stone. It is NOT recommended to use an O-ring other than the size provided. The clearances on the newer tanks are much tighter. The wrong O-ring or forced insertion of the carto can cause the bottom cap to fracture. I don't know if Jon covers that damage if you've used the wrong equipment.

Tas how long does the battery last you when you use yours? These look gorgeous may have to add it to my want list...LOL. Hubby is gonna kill me before Christmas I already see it coming!!!

Each battery on the mini lasts me about 5 hours or so when I'm at work or out and about. When I'm at home and relaxing I tend to chain vape, so it prolly lasts a good 3.5 then.

I would go with:

Sparkle Granny Smith & Star Bright Pink
Candy Teal & Candy Raspberry

I agree with the first part. All that sparkliness will look awesome.

I'm doing a matte paint for mine with sparkly endcaps... But for an appropriate reason.

 

[tybin]

i tend to change my batteries pretty frequently( i use two in the 5v ones) but i don't like to let them get very low

 

[lowboy]

Maybe you failed with it but I didnt !, in fact it has led me to a whole new tank post reported to moderators.

Your kidding right.
Seriously dude get a life or is your skin that thin.

 

[SummerDawn]

i wonder how many of the re-paints are being done by the new hire? I think mine could have been better

Tyb - can you have them paint the head/end caps? I'd like to keep the body color on my GLV as it's discontinued, but painting the caps would be snazzy..

 

[tybin]

yeah, my flip flop will be all one color and i have a glv that has black matte end caps.

 

[orkira]

what size were you thinking of orkira?

I was looking at the one lilybear posted about the glv-2 mini 3.7 volt one. That's the one I was thinking about.

Tas they only last 3 1/2 hours on one charge so they are really small I take it. How long does it take to charge a battery up for one then? Thanks Tas & Tybin!

 

[tybin]

well, i only let them discharge to about 3.8 so mine go pretty quick in the pila charger. not sure how long in a different charger.

i don't know what a sugi tank is but i believe there is a whole thread on how to do the i06 in the lava by mwa. i think it's over in the tank mod sub forum. you might also find a link to it over in the ikenvape sub thread

Thanks tybin.... I've read those though, and MWA's was an older Jonboy tank, and I've read where tighter
o-rings were not available for the newer tanks.
My Sugi is the Sugi/Black Ming from the last sale, and I don't want to do anything to mess it up.

I have other tanks I could try with, just was tempted with my Sugi Ming because of MWA's video on how his fit the 306 so well.
Thanks for the answers!

Your flip flop should look really nice. You'll have to post a pix of it. I have the starlight blue in all one color and the stardust black. I like the caps to match.

 

[LilyBear]

i just figure (like i have 10 18650) i will overdo it and get a bunch of batts for it! I really need to get more batteries that fit the reg GLV now so i can overkill that also (battery paranoia i have that in spades!), I have the 6v in candy rasb. and i have the 5v in black nebula and a super mini in the black nebula.

I was looking at the one lilybear posted about the glv-2 mini 3.7 volt one. That's the one I was thinking about.

[tybin]

well you can always order the 18650 glv

 

[LilyBear]

If i could cram it in a mini feeder i might think about that! I am pretty sure that isnt going to work out for me though! I use the 18650 in the grand

well you can always order the 18650 glv

Thanks Wolf! I hadn't attempted it yet.... wanted to ask those in the know first.
Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Is Black Stardust really as opalescent as it looks in the pictures?

They are small - only 750 mAh. I have a trust fire charger and they seem to be completely charged in a couple of hours (though I've never actually payed much attention to be sure).

[orkira]

Well, now I got 3 mods I want. Provari, Silver Bullet, and now I want a GLV-2 Mini. This is getting out of hand...LOL!
