I would recommend a drip shield for the LT. There are alot of entry holes for juice to get in (like around the buttons).
EmpireMods

You can pick up a shorty adapter there too so it works with 510 atty's. 2.0-3 ohm cartos are a good range and try some in dual and single coil.

I just saw empire style drip guards for like $4 and cant' remember where for the LIFE of me. Ummm... clouds of vapor, maybe? Any idea where those live? lol

Thanks for the tip about the drip shield. Honestly though, I really don't much care for polyfil cartos, ever since I started using clearos. I can't go back lol.

orachel...I'm relatively new to vaping (2 months) and you definately know your stuff. Thank you for your explanations and ideas.

I'm waiting on my Apollo SS V-tube (the kit) and am trying to learn how to set it up with a tank for the best vape. From what I've read, the 1.7 ohm single coil XL tank looks promising. What are your thoughts?

What has my head spinning so much is all the different terms and abbreviations used, sometimes for the same things such as : resurrectors, carto's, atty's, sub, DCT, shorties, etc. It would help alot if you would spell out or define the items instead of using the abbreviations. I know it's easy to get caught up in the acronyms in any speciality, but for newcomers it can be a pain in the .... to try and figure out. My 73 year old brain doesn't have much room left for more wrinkles. :blink:

Sorry larry! I was instant messaging ing when I responded last, and totally missed the tank part. I'm of the mind that either the Sub from mom and pop vapor shop (it has the handy screw filling port, so its dead easy to use) or the smoktech tanks in chrome would be a good choice if you're looking for value. The apollo tanks are nice looking, and look great on the stainless... I can't quite figure out if they're smoktech brand or not, but they're certainly near identical. The subs are a little simpler because they have that port, but the smoktech chrome would look a little nicer. I just snaggled one of the smokes today myself. If you've got more to spend, something like a pyrex glass phiniac (all sorts of amazing styles and the glass is indestructible, and can be used with any juice) or the lil momma or big daddy would be awesome. And yes, I'm a HUGE fan of a smoktech 1.7ohm single coil (aka the resurrector) in a Dual coil tank. Either the smoktech 5ml, the Sub, or the Big Daddy, or phiniac XL would fit the 1.7ohm single coil. Plus, Crystalclearvaping has great deals on those 1.7ohm resurrectors in 5 or 15 pack, already punched with a hole for the tank, and plated (for the tank to rest on). So if you're new and looking for simplicity, that eliminates the need to get into 'punching' a hole in your own cartos, for a reasonable price. I use the 1.7s in my dual carto tanks, myself. They're fabulous!

You lost me on the 'voltage variances'.. you mean what voltage to vape them at? with a high res atty, I'd start at 4.5v and then just work your way up. It has a TON to do with the juice, and really the specific hardware you're using. I have stuff at 1.5ohms that i vape at 4.3, and I have stuff at 1.5ohms that I vape at 3.2... exact same ohms, but TOTALLY different vape. Hope that makes sense. As for what other goodies you may want, I just put a big list of really cool stuff to have for lavatubes a few posts ago. It was the last super long post, if that helps. '

As for myself, I'm interested in trying out those new Vivi Nova clearotanks that just came out. Theres no filler, and the cool thing is they come with 'heads' for 1.8, 2.3, and 2.8ohm, I believe. Its one tank, but you can swap out the 'atty' part. THAT sounds interesting. REviews are just now coming in. I know they're at gotvapes and altcigs, I believe, for like $12-15. That includes the tank and one each of the heads. That might be fun, if you're not ready to play with a carto tank yet. The cool thing about it is you can swap the heads, and also replace them for like $2 and change each.

Oh, dur.. no brainer... I ust realized you only have one battery. you'll definitely need a spare or two, and perhaps a high quality charger. I mentioned both of those in that marathon post, too. Other than that, you probably just wanna wait and see how you like the different things. You might find you really dislike vaping over 5 voltages (I do.. many people do... unless I'm on really high ohm stuff) or any manner of preferences that would affect what you buy for here on out.

I'm planning on starting out with my high res attys (3.00) and seeing how I like it. I think I'd prefer a hot, intense, vape, which I'm assuming I'll get at higher voltages. I understand low res at lower voltages can do that too, but I'm not going to lie, I don't have a good understanding of the difference between low res with low voltage and high res at high voltage. I'm kind of just planning to play it by ear. I'll go searching for your other post lol.

They make tanks with clearo inserts? Now that is something I'll want to look into. I'm just not a fan of polyfil; I've abandoned that juice delivery method about a month ago, in favor of wicking clearos and dripping. In my opinion, I get a much cleaner, much more satisfying vape with these methods. So I've never been too terribly keen on messing with polyfil tanks, a passing interest maybe, but nothing I'd really follow through with.

I'm definitely planning on picking up a another battery too. It's just that the kit itself was already pretty expensive, I didn't want to spend too much lol. I'll probably get another battery whenever I decide that I need new toys. I don't, yet, have any reason to believe the charger included in the kit will but subpar. I mean I've ordered a lot of stuff from this company, and it's almost always really high quality from what I can tell. I've rarely had a problem with any of my gear.

I can't wait until Friday, I want my new toy lol. Ah the conundrum of internet purchases.

That vivi nova I mentioned a few posts ago might be fun for you, assuming the reviews come in and are good. And my very fave clearos are in a link on the first page here... hoodogie... they are INTENSE, and amazing. Best flavor ever... way better than i've ever gotten dripping, even.

these ones.. check the reviews. I just ordered 6 more today (and I'm a major bargain vaper) cause they keep selling out. lol I haven't found them anywhere else, and they're totally different than any other clearo I've tried.

Ok, I totally get the vaping on a budget thing. lol I'm SO with you there. Good news is those clear things I mentioned sound right up your alley. I've tried so many that have been disappointing, either in flavor or 'intense' factor, and they're just very very unusual. I like them better than all the $15 and $20 clearo tanks I've tried, and they're a whopping $3.95.

As to the charger.. my last few really long posts explain that a little better. Doesn't so much have to do with charger being subpar at all. If you end up with mods that call for 18650 protected batts, as opposed to IMR high drains, I'm sure the charger would be good for that. I've just recently started educating myself about batt charger safety in a serious way, since I had a huge scare.. near house fire... with an 18500 IMR on a regular trustfire charger. It wasn't a bad batt, but as I understand it, those chargers (and correct me if the terminology I'm using isn't 100% accurate) often develop a short with IMR batts, and the short causes them to continue to charge the battery long after its over 4.2 volts. This can lead to very very dangerously hot batteries, and eventually, venting. So that happened to me ,and after mourning the loss of a pricey almost new batt, and my trusty charger, I went on a spree of information gathering. As I understand it, IMR batts are a different kind of chemistry all together than regular 18650 protected batteries. Devices usually call for one or the other. But the demand that the lava tube takes, with its variable voltage function, really is designed to be powered by an IMR battery, and not just a protected (or unprotected) 18650. There is a difference. Not only will the batts last much less time, but it'll actually affect the performance from what I've read and been told. So... it really is a necessity to use a 'smart charger' that actually cuts off the voltage flow to the IMR battery when it reaches 4.2v. Typically, decent smart chargers, like the pila, are in the $45-50+ price range, which is way the heck out for me. That's like a whole months vape budget. But then a guy told me about this specific series of Xtar chargers. Not all xtar's are this good... but the WP2 2 channel and the WB2 6 channel are REALLY well reviewed, and I checked a bunch of places. Luckily you can get an xtar WP2 2 channel for only $18 at discount vapers. I posted links to the charger and the review (that explains all of this much much better than I did, and in more detail) earlier in the thread. BUT if you have no choice but to use the included charger for the time being (which i certainly understand), then you want to do something like set an alarm when you put your batteries on to charge, and if you have a multimeter, check when they come off the charger to make sure they don't exceed 4.2v. And of course, you never ever want to leave batt charging when you're way from home, or sleeping, or they're not 'attended'. I'm telling ya... Had I been asleep, something horrifying would have happened. That batt got so hot that it melted the dang charger, and I take crazy drugs to sleep since I have sleep disorders. I might be a cinder now, which is super scary. But the point of the matter is take some time to educate yourself about battery safety, and use the best batts and charger that you can possibly afford. And then just be safe, and smart, about your charging habits. I was not. lol And I'm definitely lucky I'm still here to learn from my mistakes. lol I keep the darn charger right next to my bed, which is also not the wisest thing to do. lol BTW, there are 'safe battery charging bags' that you can put your batts in the charger in, for extra measure of safety. Goodness forbid, if anything were to vent or explode (which protected batts can do on rare occasion... IMRs just vent) or ignite, the bag keeps it contained and away from your living space. Discount vapers has those as well, but I've seen them elsewhere cheaper. Umm... I can't remember where it was, but if you do a google search for 'vape, battery charging bag' you'll find em if you want them. ;) I had no idea there was that much of a difference between different varieties of 18650s, or that IMRs called for a different safer type of charger before I hunted for the info.

Drip shields are for atty dripping in case of flooding. Vaporbeast also has them. Possibly the delrin version can be found for around 4-5$.

Thanks for the tip about the drip shield. Honestly though, I really don't much care for polyfil cartos, ever since I started using clearos. I can't go back lol.

They are generally referred to as LiPo safe charging bags. I personally do not trust them (its a friggin bag trying to hold a possible explosion!) so I made a charge station from a 15$ lug box from home depot. Even if a battery goes hand grenade on me, I will be safe and so will my house. It took me all of 15 minutes to strip the lug box and put a power strip/surge protector in it.

I will second the Xtar WP2, it is a very nice charger for the price. SoShine also makes very good chargers at a relatively low price point. If you want the caddilac, go for a PILA smart charger (available from provape, makers of the provari).

I second that...I fight withmyself because the patient me hates paying for shipping.
Ok I've placed my order for my LT. I ordered the Chrome mini lt kit from apollo and 2 of the ViVi Nova tanks from GotVapes thanks to the suggestion here! Now if time could just fast forward! I'm not the most patient person ha!

Just joined this very informative thread, excellent info here! I only have a 3.7v mod given to me by a very generous James at Kalamazoo as I'm a new vapor (now 3 months!) I have been looking long and hard for VV's and I recently decided to purchase the Apollo LE SS lavatube. I'm really looking forward to it, and all the information that I can get, the better. Thanks for the great thread!

Yay! Auntiemom! lol Good for you! I'm dying to hear how you like those ViviNovas. I haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm hearing pretty good things so far in the reviews, and it is SUCH a unique innovative product. And yes... I know how hard it is to wait. At least you have a relatively normal wait, which is a blessing. lol Some of us ordered the stainless when they very first showed up as in stock... and then had to wait like 2mos through a bunch of delays. THAT was really hard. lol But I'm with you and Masterofdampf... I'm ready to stalk and pounce on the mail-lady, too! lol I ordered a bunch of good quality batteries and my new Xtar charger and some adapters... its kind of a bummer, since that was most of my vape-budget this month. BUT at least I know that when they show up, I won't have to worry about scary battery incidents any longer. That freaked me out, bigtime. Plus I ordered some of those crazy vape enhancing dual coil clearomizers I keep raving about. And I got a new peanut butter cup juice from discountvapers, so crossing fingers that's tasty! lol My regular juice place makes a few great chocolates, and a great peanut butter cookie, but nothing that mixes them together, oddly enough. Hoping for a reese's cup experience that satisfies my mad lust for chocolate. rofl

Speaking of batteries... I finally hunted up the link for the guy who ships good quality AW IMR batteries/chargers/meters world wide. He sells really good quality AW brand batts, from what I've heard from multiple sources. He offers a few different varieties... the AW IMR, which is what you want for Lavatubes/vtubes, and the regular protected batts in a few types, I believe. The nice thing is the batts are great quality, and he has every size under the sun. Most vape shops carry only a few of the IMR sizes. And I've been on a mad battery hunt lately, so from what I can tell, his prices look pretty comparable to the marketplace. I haven't used him yet, but when I was asking about batteries and safety, I got referred to him about 5 different times, so his reputation as a vendor on ECF is fantastic.

Great quality AW IMR Batteries, Chargers, and Multimeters
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ers-exporters-america-shipping-worldwide.html

And since about 90% of the people who offered advice about batteries suggested either the AW brand IMRs (above link) or the Panasonic batteries... Here's the link to Panasonic 18650 2200mah IMR batteries Masterofdampf has double checked the length, and these 2200mah's should fit in the Lavatube without issue. These are a great price considering how much more quality and battery life you get than a discount red IMR.

Orbtronic also sells the xtar chargers for $3-$5 dollars more than discountvapers. But if you need to buy both, and don't need any other vaping goodies that you'd grab at DV, this'll save you from having to pay shipping twice.
XTAR WP2 II intelligent 18650 lithium-ion battery charger
WP6 II 6 channel li-ion battery charger for 3.7V batteries

Here's the cheapest place I've found for the XTAR WP2 'smart' chargers... They are available at multiple vendors, but this one at discount vapers is the best deal I've found. His prices are really low on lots of stuff. This vendor is also an excellent one if you want another pv... either for stealth or inexpensive backup. He has many options in the 'mods' and 'variable voltage' section. He also sells amazingly lovely wood mods, so if you like one of the 'tube' pv options, chances are they be custom ordered with your choice of wood. They're just utterly gorgeous. An 'indulgence' mod with redwood burl and matching wood cone and driptip is at the tippy top of my wishlist.

Also, if you're a clearoomizer lover, sooner or later you'll probably get around to trying the new Vision brand CE4 aka 'ego stardust' cartos. They're sort of disposable mini tank clearomizers. Lots of people rave about them (I personally am not a huge fan). My biggest complaint about them is they have these tiny stubby wicks at the top... so you sort of have to turn your pv on its side or upside down to get the wicks juiced up. Eric at DV is the only vendor to carry special 'discount vapers exclusive edition' Ego CE4s with much longer wicks. So if you're a CE4 lover, or are into clearomizers, you can get those at this link. BTW, these WILL require a 510 to ego adapter for the flat top lava tubes, like the originals and the 1.5v ones OR a 'shortie' 510 to 510 adapter about 5-6mm tall in order to screw onto the Stainless or all metal Apollo Vtubes...
http://www.discountvapers.com/vision-ego-ce4-clearomizer-dv-edition/

And here's some of my favorite amazing handcrafted Dual Coil Tanks. Lewis Gentry, who makes the wood mods at discount vapers, just started making custom wood turned dual coil tanks. And since we've heard a bit about the Big Daddy and Lil Momma which are high quality dual coil tanks, so I thought I'd show you guys a few of my favorite 'high end' dcts in the same price range... the Gentry Wood Mod Dual Cail Tank, and the Phiniac blown glass tank or sandblasted tank.... just in case any of you are hunting for a show stopper. here's the picture of the Wood Mod Dual Coil tank...(this one is sold) and below that the link to order them in your choice of wood. I'm coveting one of these for the stainless LT with a gorgeous stainless drip tip. That would make me a very happy vape-ette. rofl
http://www.discountvapers.com/lg-dct-cocobolo/
LG DCT - Custom Order

And here's the Phiniac Pyrex Glass Tanks. They're available in sandblasting, with a ton of designs, or a custom ones... they have a brand new 'zodiac sign' line of sandblasted designs that are beautiful, and come with your name on them. They also have brand new gorgeous wood inlay designs done by 'mist in the wood', who is a well known woodworker who does beautiful marquetry wood 'sleeves' on pvs and now tanks. If those wood ones aren't on the site yet, they will be in just a few days. My favorite, however, are the ones with blown glass designs... so amazing, and each is unique. You can get custom designs (though they have to be simple) in these, too. Now Phiniac tanks aren't just pretty... instead of the regular Poly plastic tank matererial, which you cannot use with a juice with heavy malic or citric acid, like citruses, sour 'pucker' flavors, or cinnamon candy, and never ever with wintergreen juice because those degrade the plastic... Phiniacs are made with near indestructible Pyrex glass (like the baking bowls you probably use in your kitchen). So if you want to vape any of those types of flavors and you want more juice on hand than you can get in a carto alone, you need a glass tank, as they don't degrade. They don't break, either... they've been tested pretty extensively. Pretty and functional.

Same here but then the impatient me pays priority!

lol I do the same. If I'm waiting on juices or cartos or something basic, I almost never upgrade shipping. But if I've ordered a whole new mod... then I'm tempted, and occasionally upgrade. lol Its SO hard to tell. Half the time it seems like priority just gets it there 1 day sooner, and then the other half it can take up to a week longer. Very irritating. The usps is just doing odd things lately, it seems.

Just joined this very informative thread, excellent info here! I only have a 3.7v mod given to me by a very generous James at Kalamazoo as I'm a new vapor (now 3 months!) I have been looking long and hard for VV's and I recently decided to purchase the Apollo LE SS lavatube. I'm really looking forward to it, and all the information that I can get, the better. Thanks for the great thread!

Aww, how sweet! That James is a good guy, from everything I've heard. I need to order my 'shortie' smoktech dual coil tank from him one of these days, so I finally have a tank I can use with Boge 2.0 and 3.0 cartos. Right now, I've got no tanks that fit my high voltage cartos. lol Congratulations on hitting the 3 month mark! That's such a great time, cause you tastebuds and sense of smell finally are coming back after smoking for so long, so if you're like me, my enjoyment of vaping went thru the roof right about that time-frame. I can tell you, I've been vaping a while now, and I'm LOVING my stainless Lavatube/Apollo Vtube... It really is one heck of an exciting vape. You may want to talk to James (or if he's local to you..even better) when you get your new LT, because depending on the cartos/carto tank/clearomizers/clearotank you use... some many of us are finding the vape improved if we add an ego 'short cone/thread cover' that fits down the 'channel' in the ego connection on the stainless model. A 'shortie' 510 to 510 adapter, ideally one thats 5mm or 6mm tall will also work, and that will allow you to use a few of the brands of ego clearomizers (like CE4/ego stardusts) and Vision clearomizer tanks that won't quite screw onto the connection properly without em. Its not essential, but unless your cartos have a naturally 'tight' draw, like the 1.7ohm smoktech single coils aka 'resurrectors', you might find the draw a tiny bit too airy. Some do, some don't. But didn't want you to get it in the mail and then realize you had to wait another week for an adapter. THAT is no fun. lol But the PV is amazing... I'm so loving mine! Hope you do, too! I can tell you, if this is your first VV, you're about to have your mind blown. ;) Yell if you've got any specific questions. I'm trying to give a bunch of info, but they turn into these crazy long marathon messages because there's so much to tell, and I know it can be hard to find specific answers in the midst of all that content.

K, you've definitely got me intrigued as to the rigged 'safe charging station' you built. Is that something it would be quick and easy to explain how to do to a novice with electrical work? I've got virtually nil experience dealing with electrical stuff, and everything I've learned about batt/charger safety I've found at ecf with a bit of follow up research. I don't even know what a lug box is. But I'm definitely interested. I now have about 4 or 5 chargers that came with kits... would it be possible to build one of those stations and then continue to use those plugged into it, or would you also need to use it exclusively with a smart charger? and rofl... I had the same incredulity when I read about those LiPo safe charging bags. It seems nuts that it could work. They just look like they're built of the same stuff as fireproof sheeting. I've seen em a bunch of places though. I figured I was getting a good charger, anyway, so I didn't feel the need to add more expense by sticking it in a bag. lol AAnd if its at all complicated or requires expertise, no worries. I don't need to be 'dabbling' in complex electronics unless its a no bainer. ;)

Master.. the drip guards I saw definitely weren't at vapor beast, cause I've never been there. And they were stainless or chrome, not delrin. They weren't 'empire' brand, though, but looked very similar. I'll keep my eye open and see if i can find em again, though. BTW, I love these drip tips at DV. They have a sort of 'mini stainless drip guard' build into em. Very handy, and unlike the $12 variety gorgeous ones I've seen with built in guards, these ones are under $4.50, and rather small, which I like. I don't do a lot of dripping, so not sure how effective they'd be as a drip guard, but guessing that's what its supposed to function as. I like em! lol And I can afford em, so I like that even better. ;) These are what I use on my dual coil tanks w/ stainless caps.
http://www.discountvapers.com/drip-tip-510-gyriodal-stainless-steel-drip-tips/

BTW, you don't happen to know if a glass drip tip sized for a go-go carto would fit in one of those jumbo resurrectors, do ya? Noone I've asked seems to have a clue. The jumbo resurrectors call for a drip tip that fits 810, I guess cause they're wide mouth. I just have zero clue if the go-go is a similar size.

man alot of questions in 4 posts. The panny GCH's will fit. The 65.2 is under the 65.5 length of batteries that are known to work with the LT and still allow the cap to fully screw down.

If you want the highest number of recharges from your batts I would not go with a "Fast" charger. I would get this one over the SoShine that was listed. I don't see the SoShine that I used to use (mine retired quite a while back).
WP6 II 6 channel li-ion battery charger for 3.7V batteries

I have ordered from vaporbeast numerous times including mods, carto's and drip shields. Definately a class A vendor.

I seem to remember that 801 is the same diameter as an EMDCC, and that being the case you can just use the 510 DT adapter.

I will find the instructions for the lug box charging station and post them.

rofl.. you're just so danged helpful! Thanks for posting that lug box thingie.. My best vaping buddy is handy, and I told him to stop by here and see if its something he can do, and then we'll work out if its something he can talk me through. lol And since you mentioned vaporbeast I popped in there... man, they DO have some seriously cool stuff! And unless I'm remembering wrong, you were the one who first mentioned clouds of vapor to me, and they've got some amazing unique stuff too! I'll go edit that post to gank out the soshine, cause obviously its pricier than the other anyway. And thanks for checking on that size limit re the Panasonic. I knew it was posted here, but couldn't find it. Those are remarkably priced considering how much better they're supposed to be than the discount red IMRs. As for the charger, I was gonna get that 6 channel, but my friend talked me into multiple twos since I'm always broke, and if the charger I use to do all my batts died, i'd be toast. But I personally will be happy with 2 of the two bays, and I'm thinking relatively new vapers who don't have tons of mods to deal with, that one is almost ideal, unless they can swing the pila. Thanks again! Oh, btw, my handy vaper friend just sent me a link to this wild and crazy charger. I guess it practically mops the floor for you.. has sort of built in multimeter type function? Anyway, thought you'd get a kick out of it. You can tell its designed for hobbyists... darn thing practically looks like a race car.

Lol, that reminds me of the one I used to use for my RC car batts. Back then it was Ni-Cad, but pretty much the same setup on the charger. Hobby or Enthusiast chargers are awesome, but SO expensive.

For the lug box you just need a screwdriver and a hammer, it is very simple - remove screws, smack round dutout to knock it out. run powerstrip cord through the hole. I know someone who did the same with a metal medicine cabinet, but he did have to drill the hole for the cord.

For the lug box charging station:

If you are handy you can build a charge station. Go to home depot and get a main lug box or similar:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs..._mmc=shopping-_-googlebase-_-D27X-_-100138862

Take the front panel off and remove the inside components. There are only a few screws holding that stuff in. Get a decent power strip that fits in the box. I use a 4 plug one in mine. Run the cord of the power strip through the hole in the box (you may need to knock out a plug covering the hole first).

Done. You now have a safe place to charge up nearly any batteries safely.

I wish discount would get their CC processing fixed. I am hesitant to use a 3rd party, as I generally am the one who turns out to be the first "Problem" case.
