Well the limit can be easily dealt with if you have bit of experience. But if you're fairly new, deciding LR at 3.7v isn't getting it, or on the DCC/tank craze, you might not get the results you are expecting. I bet I saw hundreds of threads on the subject when the LT first came out. Some figured it out and others gave up and moved on to something else. This seems to be aimed at the same crowd, so I expect same results. Followed shortly by an upgraded version so half of them will buy a second device.
Good points!

Really? Maybe if it had wings? I don't get it when people say things like this. How many ways can you change up a battery in a tube. improvements are evolutionary not revolutionary and I can pic out many things that are unique about it. For one it has a screw that can be dialed upwards if you need to make better contact with your carto.! Very cool! The way voltage is controlled seems very simple and many with appreciate the unique navigation of this device compared to other VV devices. :)

Except you said it has a unique design, its not, its a GLV with VV circuitry, they say plagerism is the sincerest form of flattery, in that case GLV ought a be pretty darn proud right now. The same with Pro ape.

GLV had the unique design.

Yes Sir! China is copying all the American and European products now. They do not come close to the original products. I own the Provari, and the Vmax. My Vmax is in its box.

From a purely aesthetic point of view you have a point! But if you look at the design features, it has some different design eliments that make this device interesting. Some may call, special, different or unique. Also, I do not know of an other VV device that has this design. The Model T was unique, but that does not mean every other car invented was not unique because it shared four weels and an engine. :). Is a Honda Unique compared to a Toyota? I suppose it depends on what glasses one looks through! :).

I said pro ape haha stupid auto correct

Exactly Jimi D. I hate to put this down before its even in anyone's hands but it looks like its a Vision product, same people who made the Tox, which after being hyped as another Provari killer turned out to be another epic fail.

China serves its purpose, but in the end this is another severely flawed product, just based on the specs, and its being sold on Vapor Beast as a device that can run anything you put on it, including Dual coils, except we know it won't unless you want to run them at like 3.5 volts lol

What does it do that no other device does? Does it look different from any other device on the market? So what makes it unique? The fact that it looks like a GLV and uses an 18490 and boosts voltage? So its a GLV with Provari innards, not unique, much like putting A1 in a bottle of Heinz 57 doesn't give you a new unique steak sauce.

Blah!

Damn right it's not for everyone! Ugh, man, how are you still alive! :p

LOL!! Are you one of those beasts that vapes 3ohm at 7v? the starfire vv is what i have. says it works with dual coils also ... dunno though dont use them and already knew about the limit etc before I purchased it.

imo the limit is good for those who dont need high volts ... and for those who do, i have read they can be modded.

does vmax limit also?

Nah. I'm one of those beasts that vapes at 4.1-4.5v with a 2.3ohm atty.

Of course! I use my Smoktech Woo.. for work. I think that is Smok's best made. I mostly vape Chinese flavorings. Also I love the Emdcc's. I don't agree with the copies, because it just leads people to think that vaping doesn't get better than that. My favorite setup is my Provari and my DID atty. It's in a league of it's own.

I would be baffled if that GLV knockoff would run a dual.

Jay is a great guy and makes a great product but! Gotta give props to Teddy Kimball and his Zi Moshi, back in the day it was one of the hardest Mods to get .

The device has some features that no other device have! It looks different than any VV mod on the market! So can I say it's a unique VV device? If it's not typical one can call Somthing unique! Unique can be described as not typical or unusual. If you do not like my definition of Unique, let me say it is different than any other VV mod I've seen! Whatever you want to call it, I like it! :)

The new Vario that is coming out soon threatens to destroy all the current APVs I can think of at 5amps...
You can seen the stats for it on VaporBeast.

The new Lavatube 2.0 still doesn't put it up to where the Provari is already, and the Vario's new airflow design and the fact that it can fit atomizers that tie into the cone threads (like the stardust) WITHOUT an adapater.... all for $79? They're hurting the game right now. Let's just wait for it to come out and get some reviews going.

Yes, the VARIO looks amazing too. I don't know if it will destroy other APV's but it will be a nice option! It certainly looks nice. Why do you say destroy? :). Here is the link to the VARIO.
