Good information. I've seen several vendors stating that they (the 4.0s) are able to push low res and DC attys. I wonder how they are capable without an upgraded switch. Lies perhaps?

They just publish the specs the supplier provides and we now know that L-Rider, Young June and sadly Smoktech are careless with the facts. Not sure how many know the Gripper which is advertised as a 4amp unit is actually a 3amp PV.

I just bought myself a Lavatube Lambo with a Vivi Nova Mini. I have to use it with an adapter.
I'm wondering if there's any tanks out there that can fit the LT without an adapter?

There are many Clearomizer style tanks available, Stardust is one of the more popular styles, tapered like a bottle, now under several different names.
This one looks a little more like the traditional tank.

How do I tell if the LT I bought is original or a knockoff? I cant tell if I am getting on with a battery bar or not. The website I bought it from.... Aquavaporcig. com.... has pictures of units with red power buttons, and matching buttons. The also have pictures with just the battery reader and without the battery reader, all on the same product page!!! oh well at the price I paid I will be happy either way.
I also bought mine from Aquavapor. I believe it's a young-june. Awesome deal over there too for the kit.
I also bought the V2 kit from aquavapor and used code "switch" for 10% off.
The V1 kit is also onsale for $40, but I decided to upgrade for additional $15 to get V2, the 3.5 Vivi Nova and free shipping
So V1 kit shipped = $40 after coupon code
And V2 kit shipped = $45 after coupon code
Best deal I've seen since they are also selling the newer V2.5 (Lambo 4.0)
I believe the V2 is a Yound June though

Couple of things people should be aware of. The highest amp rating for any APV from L-Rider is 2.5 amp, same as the original V1, that also includes the Lambo 4.0. Edit: All L-Rider APVs I am aware of have a RED power button. IMO a sure way of telling if it is a genuine L-Rider product.
The highest Amp rating of any APV from Young June that I have tested is 3 amp, though a friend tested one at 3.2amp with a 1.4ohm carto.
Here is a link to a post by iVapeguy from iVape on his experience with the new releases from L-Rider.

>"This is in regards to the new version of the L-rider tube hitting your stores now and in the next couple of days.
They were marketed to us vendors as a 9A limit (fishy it seems) with the express notification it could perform at 6V down to 1.2 ohm atomizers...
This is not true. The only difference i see this model has form the older chrome and black chrome models is the ability to read atomizer ohms.
The chipset display is in no way as easy as the youngjune versions (our varitube X) - which has an approximate 3.2A limit. The L-rider is still performing at ~ 2.5 maxing a 1.5 ohm dual coil atomizer at a whopping 3.75V when set to 6V.
I wanted to make this apparent to the few of you that may be waiting on this mod to let you know it's not living up to the hype.
While it does have the nifty floating positive atomizer pin, and also has a much more sturdy construction than the youngjune - the performance is not there.
Now I'm out roughly 15K on this junk, and need to decide to either sell it off, or find a way to take it back to China with me next week and beat someone over the head with it.
TL;DR: New L-rider version hitting the market has the same amperage limitations of the old one, and I could have bought a car instead of being super ...... right now.
edit: this is in reference to the new L-rider product also known as the Lambo 4, not the new Lavatube 2.0 Volcano is coming out with, which is a YoungJune product."

I have seen on other forums where the V1 Lavatube, which is rated at 2.5 amp had been tested to be anywhere from 2 amps to 4 amps. I guess this is due to inconsistency in manufacturing or maybe a few had different chips in them. I for one can say from my experience with the one I have that it will kick the hell out of a 1.5 dual coil tank all the way up to 5.5 v. I know it is not designed to put out that kind of amp load but something is going on with it for sure. I can put it side by side with a mechanical mod with a fully charged battery and it will outperform it. right now I have no way to test it under load since I only have a multimeter, but I'm going to try to pick up an inline voltmeter as soon as I can afford one, I'm on a tight budget right now.

VOID:To the best of my knowledge the Stardust will work fine on the Lambo.:Void
Edit: I just did some research and find I was confusing the Lambo with the latest chrome APV from Young June. The Stardust, or any eGo 510 threaded unit WILL NOT fit the Lambo. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone who may have followed my advice. This is a link to a Busardo review where he covers the differences between the two units.

None I have tested exceeded the 2.5amp limit. Look forward to seeing your results when you get an inline Volt Meter.

Thanks, good to have the correct information available. Can't figure what L-Rider was thinking when they put out that newly designed head that won't accept eGo threaded devices like the Young June unit will.
Errol
Yeah, it was a stupid mistake. They just didn't make the drip well deep enough. About the only thing I can use is an EMDCC (which I don't even use anymore), everything else needs an adapter.
