LAVATUBE with AW IC (no gap)

[Strangebrew]

I received the Lavatube from Volcano Fine Electronic Cigarettes this afternoon. The shipping was only two days!
As many are aware, installing the 18650 AW IC battery will cause the end cap to not fully seat. The end cap won't inadvertently fall off, yet I prefer a nonexistent gap. Enclosed is a picture of a gap filler. (3/4" Ftg copper, 3/32" width.)

Cool cheat looks like it was made that way

From the picture and the website that is some kind of Chinese copy, knock off of the original Lava Tube.
Also very, very expensive copy at that.
The Lava tube Young June can be found here very cheap, and they are very good, as I just got one from them

Maka? The website is Volcano and they are a true US retailer of the L-Rider lavatubes. The website YOU posted is a chinese website lol. But I have to agree, the young june gets better marks on the report card

Fair enough, it just looks strange with the way the top and the bottom looks on the pictures of the Lava Tube.
Never seen the 'Ridged' top and bottom like that before, so I just guessed it was some Chinese knock off copy.

Ohh wow? Really? Thats the lavatube you've got in your signature? Its the version 1 LT, thats all.

I've got an old L-Rider and the end cap screws all the way in with an 18650, no gap.

The cap will fit fine with an Aw IMR. protected Ll Ion bats are not a good idea anyway when using any "booster" type PV. The output of that PV has a 2.5 amp limit, but that doesn't mean the imput only has a 2.5 amp limit.
