Both run hot but this one seems to be even hotter. But the jury is still out. I think it is the pulse width modulation.
Fun experiment, set up my AGA T2 with a silica wick and it vapes wonderfully!
tank filled with fresh Serendipity.
1.4 ohm coil that kicks ... on my mechanical mod. About 12 watts and just nice full taste.

Might have to PM you for some tips on that. Just got a AGA-T2, only messing with SS mesh so far, it's not without its issues. Can't wait till the ceramic wicks are back on stalk
Why PM and not share with the rest of us?

My federal refund goes to my state payments for not filing for 10years![]()
Next year i think I'll get to keep it.

Bye bye refund! It comes then goes...and goes and goes and goes.Both run hot but this one seems to be even hotter. But the jury is still out. I think it is the pulse width modulation.

If your LavaTube is a YJ, it's definitely the PWM that's making the vape seem hot. It's actually pulsing at 6 volts no matter what setting you have it on. It just changes the duty cycles to get an average voltage reading to match your setting. This is the reason so many people find nothing but frustration when using PWM devices with genesis RBAs and mesh wicks. The PWM creates hot spot after hot spot. The vv mods that have a flat DC current like the Provari and the L-Ryder LT don't have this issue.
It depends on the hertz rate. Most recent PWM vv devices have a really low hertz rate (33Hz) which gives very wide peaks. Let me see if I can find that info. PBusardo usually goes into it.Hard to believe the duty cycle could be that slow to cause hot spots. But the proof is in the pudding. The first YJ LT was not bad. In fact, I didn't have any problems with burning juice (though I had the volts always set on the very low end of the range). This new YJ LT is hopeless.
Ok I think I may start getting a little deeper into RBA's now that I have taken this DID clone and made it almost perfect. I have great TH, vapor and flavor. And a nic high. I need something good for the top of this Natural and was thinking of the AGA-T2. Anyone picked one of these up yet? I think I have heard that a few peeps have. Now I think that my AGA-T is a really solidly built device and I might want one without the knurling. If someone has one and can chime in with their impressions that would help my purchase decision. Thanks.

The YJ Lavatube uses 100Hz. The new Volcano Lavatube V2 uses 33Hz. The L-Ryder is a flat DC current but it's amp limit is low which isn't good for LR attys and it won't regulate the voltage with a dying battery. Get a Provari.
