I just got my lava tube a few days ago and i was wondering at what voltage should i charge my batteries ? The battery i am running now is at 3.5 should i charge it or should wait for it to completely die before charging it i really dont want to ruin the life of the battery so any info is greatly appreciated thanks

I'm fairly new myself to the whole VV PVs but from what I was told was to drain it all the way down which is 3.2 and then charge it
Okay thank you thats what i thought it was but i qasnt sure thank you very helpful
If you run it down to 3.2, the lavatube will shut off to avoid over discharging the battery. I usually charge mine at about 3.5. These are lithium batteries without memory effect, so they can be charged at any voltage without ruining them. I have 6 batteries that I rotate, once they are fully charged, remove from charger, do not let them charge overnight or unattended. I hope this helps. Enjoy your LT!!!!! 
I also change out batteries when i get to 3.5-3.6, a fully charged battery gives a better vape anyway, as the LTs tend to drop power when they get low, fully charged they will be 4.0-4.2v.
as Ratchet said, enjoy your LT, im enjoying both of mine

My LT (first generation) will actually not shut down until the battery drops to around 2.8v. Scared me the first time I saw this. Now I check the battery level frequently and regularly change them out when they drop below about 3.4 or so. Also have two brand new 18650's on the way in case mine are starting to go bad.

If you are using the IMR that came with the LT kit, charge away. You won't develop "Memory". However, I do not let mine get below 3.5 before charging because of the voltage "step-up" to above 3.7 volts, . I just get better vaping from higher volts and freshly charged batt.
