I was wondering who all has these available. I found them here for 55.00 MODS - Smoke Anywhere For Penny's, LLC Store This is for tube only kits are 85.00.
Has anyone else purchased one yet?

I ordered one so I'll let you know how it works. I like the resistance reading feature and it will come in handy.
That one still has the 2.5a limit though..the one with the higher limit probably won't be here until the end of May...
Hi, Does anybody had purchase the chrome version. Curious and wants to know whether it is an upgrade of the old version.
When I checked the ad it said 2.5a limit when I posted the 1st time in this thread..now it's changed not that the amp limit affects me because I use 2.5ohm single coils..IDK if I believe that because they weren't supposed to come out with an improved amp limit until the end of May..besides it doesn't matter to me my next one will be chrome or stainless..I have the money to get one now but I'll wait until they are at a lot of vendors and the price drops

Right they originally had them listed as 2.5 but it was a typo. 55.00 is pretty reasonable and only 10.00 more than the old version. They are listed as having stainless but I'm not exactly sure of the finish yet. There are other vendors coming out with them in the next few days so we will see. Mine is on its way!
The main improvement I'm interested in is the ability to check the ohms resistance but the 3 amp limit might come in handy occasionally.

Yeah the pic is of the silver coated one but it's listed as stainless. I only need a tube really but if it costs $55 I would spend the extra $5 and get a full V1 kit with 2 batteries..I will wait and see though what all the vendors price them at and when the chrome with the eGo connectors are around more..plus I only really buy from forum suppliers..I also would like to see a different color display like the white/black I saw pics of as red isn't my fav...
They have them listed as silver now. I have a mini version 1 and it works real good for me but I was interested in the resistance reading. I've bought from Penny before and she has proved to be a good supplier.
Anybody else seen these posted anywhere else? $85 seems pretty reasonable, but figure a little price comparison is never a bad thing... Not to mention some places give longer warranties... (apollo gives a year!)
I haven't found anyone else selling them yet. I expect them to start popping up soon. Mine should be here in two days.
I received my new 1.5 in the mail today and it works as advertised. You can read the ohms of your carto and voltage with one click of the power button. I was surprised at the resistance of a couple of my cartos.
I don't have an inline voltage indicator and that is what I would need to check them with carto on it. That is the only way I know of to check them under load. Madvapes has them for 14.99 but I'm not really that curious about knowing that information. I just care if it vapes good and continues to throughout the charge. I do like being able to check the ohms of the carto. There is a member that is running tests on them that I saw on another thread. He said they were testing much better at holding the voltage at higher voltages than the version 1. I never had any problem with version 1 at the voltages I vape at with the cartos I use. I don't like anything above 4.5 volts and the V1 was real good at that voltage and below.
I might have to get me an inline voltage indicator just to prove to the Provari users that are continually dissing the LT. It is like many of them want to justify spending 200.00 by tearing down the L-Rider. I for one never bought a Provari because of all the button pushing to change voltages or check the resistance. The L-Rider is much better in that regard and now that you can read resistance of the carto so easily it is a nobrainer for me to stick with it especially when you can buy three for the price of one. I think the version 2 is going to be better yet. I really like the type of connection it has with the recessed ego connector and flexible battery post. It will make it much better for using different cartos that have slightly different length posts.
