Lavatube help

[gthompson]

I was a bit disappointed with the Lavatube at first not working well with dualcoils. After looking at the posts here at ECF I found a few stating that single coils cartos work great too. I have been using the
Phoenix Bottom Coil Clear Cartomizers from GotVapes.com. They are aprox $11 bucks for 5 of them.
I have to say they are awsome!

By the way, did you get the 2.4-2.6 or the 2.6-2.8?

Cant post a pic, but the very small lip on that adapter sits right on top of the Vtube perfectly.

It does not make an extra extruding lip i guess you could say. Looks to be apart of the Vtube...

ok so lavatube + vivi nova it is...

also, where can i buy the best quality juice nowadays... ive been smoking vaporcrave juice.. theyre not bad but wanna try something else

Make sure you get the LT with the higher amp switch. Awesome juices are found here: Copper Creek, Highbrow, Virgin Vapors, Heather's Heavenly Vapes.

Dual coils are hit or miss but if you want to stick with them go with the 1.5ohm carto's they work well on my provari and it don't like the 2.0s

I have the Vtube - Get this

Chrome EGO Cone for 3.5ml DCT Tank [517_3.5_Chrome_Cone] : L Js E-Smokes, Electronic Cigarettes

thanks! i was actually looking for that adapter. I saw in a video it fixes the airy draw problem on the vtube. Can i use this with the vivi nova too? I also bought the "stormizer" they have on apolloecigs with a king kong stainless steel tip, i saw some good reviews on those. I also bought the ego adapter for the vtube just in case i need it. I will order a couple of those adapters on the link too in case i need them too.. i want to be 100% ready to use my vtube at maximum capacity when it arrives .

On another note, after searching a couple of juice vendors i found out that there are different type of juice (PG and VG). Which type should i get? Also im not sure on the amount of nicotine(mg) i want on my juice.. im really confused

Pg carries flavor well and is a thin juice
Vg maximizes vapor production and throat hit. This is a thick liquid.I use 70/30 pg/vg. some people love 50/50. You have to experiment yourself to find your preference.
A mixture of the two is the norm.
Some people are allergic to pg and must use vg.

also i ended up ordering the red vtube since they didnt have the stainless/chrome in stock. This tube also has airy draw issues like the other 2 or no?

+1 on the upgrade to the lava tube...made the jump a month ago and no regrets

 

[bmarley5780]

I use that adapter for the Vivi Nova .

Personally I wouldn't get a lavatube , own one myself and it's not really built that well. Button is starting to need harder pressing to activate .

PG is thinner, and allows more of the flavor to come through. VG is thicker, attenuates flavor and throat hit but gives more vapor and mouth feel. Most people prefer a mixture of the two to get the best of both worlds. I use 70%PG and 30%VG. This allows me to get the flavor and throat hit I find satisfying along with an adequate amount of vapor. Best way is to experiment with different proportions to see where your sweet spot is. On thing worth mentioning is that thicker juices will not wick well in some cartomizers.

As far as the amount of nicotine you should get, that is depedent on what and how much you smoked before. If you smoked two packs of of full flavors cigs, go with 24 or even 36 mg/ml. If you were a lighter smoker, go with 18 or maybe even 12 mg/ml. My best advice is to find a juice vendor that offers small sampler bottles and get them in various flavors, nicotine concentrations and PG/VG ratios. Be patient testing juices. The hardest part of starting vaping, IMO, is finding the juce that will keep you satisfied.

Good Luck...

Finding the best quality juice?.....thats like asking the meaning of life. The only way is thru trial and error. I wish you well on your journey my friend.
