The posts of Jpisarra are always about the same. I dont answer anymore, he has a Buzz and loves it, and that is ok. But he cant acept that a tube is doing a great job for the money, I will not answer anymore to these posts, there are 4 or five, always saying the same, we know what you want to say, you said it many times.
His own buzz doesn´t show any volts and shuts of when he puts him to high, so what is it all about?

Anyway, answering myself and whomever may be interested too: indeed, vaping at higher voltages is directly related to a larger bodily nic absorption. Why is that? Because it uses up more liquid, simple. So, you guys and girls (if there's any using this huge tube), take care. Otherwise you may feel vaguely sick/high as I did. In other words, use your vv device wisely. :)

Yes. I used a 2.5 ohms DC with Prime 15 at 12 mg and that 5 v atty I mentioned. I was trying the device out too. The thing is if I vape continuously with my X Power (probably 3.2 v) I won't feel a problem. I always use around 12 mg nic. I could lower it for higher voltages indeed. My doubt is simply wouldn't that kinda destroy the TH? Maybe not, just wondering...

You´ll get some less TH, but not so much as you might think. I think it is worth trying it. Make a small amount, and find out.

Myself I am not so about TH. I love flavor and vapor. Right now instead of DC´s I am using CE3, 3.0 Ohms at 4.5 volts at a Krimson evercool. Very few TH, great flavor adn also plumes of vapor with 70/30 12mg liquid, and using the mouthpiece of a Vortex 2 from gotvapes, who changes completely de flavour, in a good way.

What's all this fuss about the meter being off?

If its within a point or two I don't see that as false advertising. I have a Krimdon Kustom with a meter and many times I'll set it to a reading then taking a new reading without any adjustment could be off a point or two but the next reading is on the mark. From what has been reported so far higher settings seem to be off more than lower settings. I would say that if the lowest and higher settings are correct does anything else really matter, after else it is a matter of taste. You're set as long as you can find a sweet spot and you remember the numbers to find it again.

Seems the fuss is the meter is showing direct voltage to the atty connector rather than loaded voltage with a atomizer attached which can be quite different. This is also sometimes referred to as drop out voltage or voltage under load.

With an atty attached it's going to bring down the voltage when in use. Lower ohms and especially DC can bring it down quite a bit under load, standard resistance or high resistance attys don't draw as much current so the voltage under load won't be that much different.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me but it would have been just as easy for them to wire it to show loaded voltage.

Agree with you Nomoreash. it would have been so easy to do. I think it is because they are making a VV the first time. After some feedback, probably very soon we will see it the right way. No big deal indeed, most we use, if we use one, the indicator for an aproximate setting, and during the first few pulls turning it somewhat up or down. Then this is very easy with two dedicated buttons.

Personally I only use it as an indicator that my atty soon needs to be replaced, as I have to turn it up little by little, and even for that I dont really need it.

DavidTop, the LV can show 6v when you vape at 3.8 a 1.5 ohm dc.

Stop using a 1.5 ohm on a VV, this is really a no brainer as 1.5ohms is going to play havoc with your battery life and you can get the same vape with a 2.0 or 2.5 because...your using a VV device.

I think all the tube mods have....strange ways of dealing with amp limits, the buzz just stops working, the provari spits out strange alphanumeric error messages, the Lava Tube just goes down to the maximum allowed voltage that still stays below the amp limit.

@ chuckie yes using it with my G Tank 3.9 volts and 4.5 turns of .20 / 32g Kanthal, meters at 1.9 ohms so actual 1.7 ohms, lots of everything :)
Thanks for the answer.I'm using mine @ 4.2v with 4.5 wraps of 32g kanth.I was wondering if you had any problems, or where the shut off point is when using less wraps or more voltage. thanks again.

Just got mine.

Have now one of them with a trustfire 2400 flames, and the other with an IMR bat. Both working fine so far. The IMR fits perfectly, the trustfire being a couple of mm to long, but doesn´t feel or look od, on both I have now a 3 Ohm Ce3.
Hits diferent then my evercool Krimson 2*14500 based. Don´t know how, but diferent. Feels nice in the hand, not to heavy. The small buttons are really tiny, but these you dont use so much. The fire button is just fine. Feels good, moves as you push it, klicks, so you know what you are doing. The tube is nicely finished, and everything looks and feels sturdy. Would have liked the fire button to be placed a little higher at the tube, but this could be because I am used with my other mods to have it placed there

Just does what it is supposed to do. I´m a happy camper.

Goldenkobold, one of the reasons people buy a vv is because it can indeed vary the voltage and accept any atty/carto you throw at it.

Personally I prefer the provari way giving a error, but I prefer the LT price - I'm thinking on a 2nd mod. Buzz and Darwin have a 15 watt limit.

Check again the Provari and Buzz are both amp limited.

In the US VV mods are more spread under vapers. Here in Europe not so much. But things are changing. And at the first place because of the VV power/Lavatube. Some got them and are reporting at the forums. Some who have one, now want another more. People who never looked for it, now are very interested, and informing themselves, and many of them will get one in the next few months.

It really looks like this mod is a game changer, like I always thought would happen if the mod has a reasonable quality. And we still dont know about its durability, but for now it exceeds the expectations.
