I have read that dual coil cartomisers do not work on lavatube but cannot find any single coil ones in uk. Can any lava tube owners please help or tell me what set up they use please. I prefer the CE2 tank system but anything will do. Thanks in anticipation.

I've not got a Lavatube myself, but know of hundreds (on AAE-C UK) that have 
I'll get one of them to pop over to help.
Boge & Kanger cartomisers are single coil & most UK suppliers sell them. here is a list of some of the many good UK suppliers -

Hi B16JOP, Chrissie asked me to pop over and help you out
firstly dual coil cartos will work fine on the Lavatube ...in fact it will happily work with anything you put on it with a 510 connection
the confusion comes as the Lavatube has a built in amp limit set a 2.5amps that saves pushing too much power to the atomiser/carto and burning it out
what this means in the real world is if you put say a 1.5ohm dual coil carto on the lavatube then you can up the voltage if you wish but the lavatube will limit it at 3.8 volts (as 3.8volts/1.5ohms = 2.5amps)...the lavatube will still show the voltage that you set it at but the output will remain limited to 3.8 volts ...hope that makes sense
here is a table with a few sample calculations
1.5 ohm between 3.0v - 3.8v
1.7 ohm between 3.0v - 4.2v
1.8 ohm between 3.0v - 4.5v
2.0 ohm between 3.0v - 5.0v
2.5 ohm between 3.0v - 6.0v
2.7 ohm between 3.0v - 6.0v
3.0 ohm between 3.0v - 6.0v
as you can see to get the best out of the Lavatube and use the full voltage range its best to use a 2.5ohm atomiser/carto etc

ok so now my second question is what are you using on the Lavatube at the moment?
as i guess im thinking a carto tank?
you may be interested boge now make a XXL size single coil carto that are the same length as the dual coil cartos and hence will fit the carto tank or you can get a 35mm tank that will fit the regular size cartos ...all these items are available at vapeescape.co.uk

tanks to take CE2's arnt readily available but a mod maker Arry will soon be making some more and usually sells them via ukvapers or AAE-C forums as well as mojurepublic.com
I happen to have both, the L-Rider lavatube 1.0, and the young june Lavatube 1.5, both from solovapor in Spain. The all new lavatube 1.5 outperforms very much the first one. DC are working as a charm on them. If you still have to get one, go for the lavatube 1.5, it will work with everything, and does also Ohm metering.
Thanks for popping over & helping the OP Tye
Thanks both for your help, I now understand much better, will get myself some 2.5 boges.
I use Boge XL cartos in a DC tank. Single coil (I punch them myself) - They work really well from 4.5 - 5.5 volts. (not that I can go over 5 as the throat-hit becomes ludicrous)
I did use 3.0 ohm prepunched dual coils, but to be honest they are .... on the Lavatube. I don't know why UK vendors sell these and not the pre-punched standard resistance, as these work so much better on the LT.

Hi asha, i think liberty flights stock them, both 2.5 dual and 3.0 single in their smoktech dct tab. I found them by accident whilst I was look for new vv kit to carry on my vaping adventures next month
