Lavatube concerns

[Mr. P]

I received my Lavatube this morning from Volcano and it died after the first hour of use. I replaced the battery with a fresh AW IMR about four times and the LCD screen comes on and the voltage adjusts but it doesn't fire when the button is pressed. I have tried about a dozen different atty's and carto's and they all work on my Provari but not the Lavatube anymore. I used a volt meter on it and nothing, could the button have gone bad already?
I emailed Volcano about replacing it under warranty but of course it is the weekend so I probably won't hear back until monday.
Anybody else having issues with the Lavatube?

Had and issue with end cap connection. Volcano responded quickly with the correct answers for my problem. Resolved my problem immediately. Hope this works out for you.

This has nothing to do with the batteries as I am using the 18650's that I have had with my Provari. I ordered the LT device only and not the kit. My batts are good and the LT worked for about an hour then just quit. Like I said the LCD works but it just won't fire any more when I press the button.

take some tweezers and pull the center pin up from the battery connection a little bit.

I had thought that the LT used flat top batteries?

Today we were contacted by AW informing us that the batteries we had were not AW batteries. As they do not make a Flat Top IMR 18650 battery like this.

Sorry.

I guess I didn't notice in your OP that you said you were using some other batteries besides the ones that are being shipped in some Lavatubes.
