Well, "long lasting" really depends on many factors. I assume if the deal goes well, there will be several new vv mods at fair prices soon enough. Three years would be reasonable, I guess. But "long lasting" in its actual sense, whther one decides to change or not, would be nice indeed. Right now, at least, I don't see myself buying complicated, more expensive stuff. Since there seems to be a global recession and no one knows where this will all head yet (neither the optimists nor the pessimists) the expensiveness part may certainly play an ever increasing role. The "complication" part is not at all something to leave aside because we're not all that keen on electronics and mechanics and electricity that we all may be taken anywhere. I believe "doing things in a simple manner" is a keyword here. Quite frankly, right now we're pioneers of some sort and we're not really sure about how well the device will run or how durable it will be - or even if the Chinese won't fall in the temptation of releasing new, more expensive stuff, just to see how well it sells with possible higher profits. I certainly can tell they weren't expecting the kind of reception this vv mod of theirs got - which is weird in ways, since it seems a bit obvious. I also believe that's one of the main (hidden) reasons for this much delay... Etc. Other than that, I still haven't received any new email from Yovapeo but I know they asked the devices to be sent by UPS - that is whenever they will actually send them. :)

Solovapor, who untill now didn´t want to give any concrete information, now is quite positive about that it will be shipped this week. So am I. A week to get to Spain, a week in customs, two days to be shipped to my adress, Around October 31 I expect to have it in my hands.

Then I cant help it. It could be very long lasting. In a few month something new will be hitting the market, I will buy it, even if I dont need it, as I dont need the VV power, have other vv mods, and they will be laying around in a drawer the rest of their life, together with the other stuff I dont use anymore. Really must stop buying stuff.

OK, a couple of days or so to get to Spain via UPS, a week (well, who knows) in the customs and then maybe a couple of days to get to me via Nacex. I may have it before you. Only, I have no vv mods, I've been using an X Power all along (I'll keep using it too, it's nice enough to carry around) and there's a Riva 510 that's nice for those big eGO tanks with expensive attys one orders from China. So, they're quite positive, hmm? Still waiting for a word from Yovapeo...

You know, the guys at Volcano say all they have so far is one Lavatube but I also hear they were using it at the Vegas Vapefest. Do you think they could be lying?...

Hope for you that you get yours first.

I dont like to use the word lying. But then there are some statements of them who are very weird. I believe they had a tube, dont know if it worked or was a dummy. I think you was right when you compaired them to the naked king.

Anyway, who cares now about volcanos, they have missed the last train in this a time ago.

What's this?:
Variable voltage electronic cigarette 3.0v- 6.0v - Product Picture From L-Rider Technology Co., Ltd.

Is this a Chinese knock-off of the original American Lavatube?
Or is Lavatube a Chinese product actually?

The Chinese guys are selling tons of it here:
Lavatube-Lavatube Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters on Alibaba.com

It seems you haven't read the thread entirely (which I know is quite natural). The Lavatube is Volcano's name for the device they'll be distributing God knows when. But the device, despite the fact that Volcano claims they created and designed it (then, why would they allow its worldwide distribution with different names and to any vendor interested?) is by L-Rider and they can sell it to whomever they please. Volcano, as far as I know, has rights on the colour (whatever that may mean) and the brand mark Lavatube - so I've been told by a trustworthy vendor. :)

I just noticed that at Yovapeo they added the device won't be available until the end of October. That's much like what you said. :)

Yes, but then they had all those problems with the devices getting back to 3v, plus the Chinese holiday(s). And then they have to arrive from China (via UPS or not), rot a bit in the customs (probably) and be sent home to their owners. I guess it means we may have them by the end of October (fingers crossed, quite frankly).
