Lavatube clone not erupting 100%

[mike n]

I have a Lavatube clone from Vapingzone with a CE2 2.8/3 in a tank. I am getting dry hits 50% of the time. I have cleaned and dryed the base. I thought it was the CE2 so I swithed it out a few times and got frustrated and decided to try it on my joyetech Ego-T and it works great 100% of the time. Do Lavatube clones go bad? Do I need to clean anything besides where the tank sits. When I click the power button a few times the LED says 4.1 so the battery is charged. I trew out about 8 or 10 CE2s and Boges in the past few weeks thinking it was their fault.

There is a difference in voltage between a lavatube and ego-t batt (3.4V). But, it's still odd since the CE2 is 2.8/3 ohms. Have a feeling that it's due to the juice that your using. Another possibility which is not AS likely. Is that you don't invert it enough to feed the coil.

I have done allot of searching on this today and found I am not the only one. Some have returned them and others have cleaned them with alcohol and some have found this to work. Others have taking them apart and put them back together. I am paranoid to do anything. I am going to see about returning it. It happens on but CE2s and Boges. They work 50% of the time on the Lava but 100% on the ego. Both types are 2.8 or 3.0 Ce2s and Boges.

Try this with the current CE2 or Boges that you have in there right now. Push the Boge out a little bit. So, that a TINY piece of the connection is sticking out. Just enough to where it will allow a tiny gap in between the tank and the mod. That will allow enough air flow.

This should do the trick. Since that's why your having problems right now. An ego-t batt connection is a bit elevated and so, no matter what you put on there. It will have the proper air flow.

I found the same happen to me.
I messed w/ it an experimented a bit.
Though I had a bad batch but after a few I knew something wasn't right.
I switched tanks to my Ego too,worked fine 2 ohm Boge.
so I knew it was air flow & or the connection,I adjusted the connection,lowered the Volts from 4.6 to 4.0 & made sure the cart was full in the tank & in the carto.
Worked good now..

I have been using the same exact setup to 2 months... same PV CE2s/Boges at the same ohms /volts and same tank. It is not the tank/ce2/the way I screw it in. It was working great until a week ago. It has to be the Lava. The same tank/ce2 works great on my ego as I said.
