Lavatube Noob Thread - ??? about LAVATUBES and Accessories for them...Post your questions here....

Maybe that's why they include the 18350 in the description, and yes it charges just about everything. It was also listed on every other site that sells that charger - I just thought it was funny that the spacers cause that size battery to sit where where they can easily pop out all the time, and noticed it wasn't advertised on the box. Probably not related, or maybe it is? Could be why they make the xtar MP2, but I'm sure I will need the 18650 for something soon enough so I got this one.

Actually they probably didn't plan on anyone charging anything with two spacers, which is why the 18350 sits in the middle of nowhere. But if it gets the job done..... The thing I really like about this charger is the safety of it. People don't realize how dangerous some of these batteries can be.

I should have been more precise Deb. You wouldn't take it off every time you lay it down. You would duplicate what you did with the carto on, that is turn if off and lay it down just the same but without the carto to see if the same thing happens. Just once would be enough to see if you have a residual voltage draw from you pv with the carto attached.

FWIW the battery will heat up if it is being discharged rapidly though I doubt you are vaping fast enough and long enough to create that condition.

Oh I gotchya. Problem is, it only happens sometimes, not all the time. After I recharged, it hasn't been happening at all, so I'm waiting now to see if it only does it when it gets down to less of a charge, around 3.6-3.5 or so.

Hello, a lot of you may already know this, but I had never read it til someone showed it to me. But on my V.1 LT, if I push the button 7 times to pull up my batt volts, I can then press the "menu/power" button again while pressing the fire button, hold them for about one second and let off, which will then display my battery's output voltage under load. Pretty cool. I use this as a better judge of when to change my batts since we all know the V.1 LT's regulation does not work perfect (or maybe at all). So if my normal batt check is showing say 3.5. But my under load check is reading like 3.2. I will go ahead and switch it out, especially if I am going somewhere! Cause I know beyond 3.2 under load I am getting in to that area of a lackluster vape! I also follow these numbers because that is where my Kick cuts off at (3.2 under load). And not taking anything away from the LT, but I do trust my Kick's battery protection a lot more! Lol.

Thanks for the tip!! Knew about the 7 click battery check, but didn't know it would show the batt under load voltage! Very cool!

Just tried that with my VTube and it just powers off. Is it the Red button and the fire button that one should hold simultaneously? That would be very helpful, if I can make mine do it!

 

[williegntx]

Correction...it works for me too. I need to read a little more carefully! Works just as above instructions state!

 

[Errol]

Holy frijole! These people never want to see me actually save money, I swear. When that comes in 1000 maH I'm on it like a fly on a cow patty. I have two Twist's and they are fantastic.

I feel the same way, except for the 1000maH, the 650 is a mile long. You may find Steve's review interesting The Super eGo: Variable Voltage (and a display!)

I just bought this thing today and couldn't find hardly any info on it yesterday. Posted a brief rundown of it just now and glad to see there is a real review! It stacks up pretty well with my SS Vtube I just got as well, and my twist will probably be in the drawer except to take on the go.

Yeah, and I figured out that the AW button tops were the main cause of them being so slippery. The flat top that came with the kit stays in there pretty snug.

They are getting the 900 mah in soon, but you might want to consider that this battery is about an inch longer than a twist. Add an inch to the length of a 1000 mah twist and you have yourself a javelin!

I'll slap a Vivi Nova on it and carry it around like a scepter. Cuz I'm a King and that's how King's roll.

Very kewl. It worked for me too, but wow what a difference. My 7 click showed 3.5 but under load showed 2.9 I have a Phoenix bottom coil. Wow, I never threw the box away, just realized I ordered 2.4-2.6 but the box shows 2.6-2.8 so not sure which one I have on there. Don't have a meter to check it out yet. But anyhow, that's really kewl Thanks!

 

[Cowboy Cru]

You guys are more than welcome! Yea, it's amazing sometimes how much more your battery may be drained than you think under load. Yea Debadoo, that is next on my list I think, getting an inline meter or load tool of some sort.

Oops.....I meant I don't have a meter to see on mine.

I've heard this several times, but I can't figure out how to do it.

 

[Debadoo]

It works on mine......I just click the red button 7 times to get the batt life reading, then quickly click the fire button and the red button at the same time, and it shows me a diff reading which is the under load one. Just hold em together for a second, or quickly click em at the same time.

Cowboy,
Thanks for the info and I'm glad it works for some but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my LT. I have a L-Rider V2, which has the same electronics as the V1, so I don't understand why it doesn't work. I really was hoping it did because voltage under load it actually more important than unloaded voltage. Just to confirm, after pushing the power (middle) button seven times, my display changes to battery voltage remaining, I then push one more time while also pushing the fire (activation) button, hold both for one second, and release. Is that it? Tried it numerous times and my display just switches back to my set voltage.
I hope I am doing it wrong because then I could learn to do it right and have that feature.

I have a V1 and the first time I tried this I thought it did the same thing. Just happened my loaded voltage was the same as my set voltage! Not saying that's what's going on with yours, but thought it was funny!

I do the procedure like you stated but only a quick press and release of power+fire button.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Can't get this to work for me either.

Hold the presses, I just tried it again and it worked! Didn't like what I saw, but it worked.

 

[badinfluence357]

Can anyone tell me if a lava tube v2 can be opened and taken apart without damaging the batt connector and buttons?? Is there anyone that can install a new ego to 510 sealed springless connector? Pm me if you can do this mod. Thank you guys!
