Question about a variable voltage e-cigarette

[jibba]

Hey everybody.

I'm new to the forum, but not so new to vaping. I'm considering purchasing a new e-cig from a vendor I haven't tried out yet, and I wanted to see if anyone had some good feedback before I make my decision to buy or not. I'm looking to add to my collection, a variable voltage e-cigarette from Volcano E-Cigs called the LavaTube. I've watched a couple video reviews, read some articles, and overall I got mixed reviews. Some people love it and have no gripes, and then some people report issues and problems with it. I'm not sure if its user error or if the device has issues. It appears to me like it could be a good device, but it's a bit pricy, so I want to be sure. What's your experience with it?

Thanks!

Way to much for what it is, a VAMO or Zmax would be better for a lot less.
You are almost at the price of a Provari with that one. (only $20 more)

JMO but at that price I would spend a tad more and go ProVari (and no I'm not a ProVari fanboi). At half that price you could pick up a ZMAX. Volcano does offer a 1 year warranty which is a plus but the biggest negative for me is the 2.5amp limit on the lavatube.

This.

You can get a Vamo for ~$35, an SVD for ~$40, or a Zmax for ~$75. Vamo and SVD are cheapest from Fasttech, Zmax probably from Discount Vapers or another vendor.

As mentioned by tj99959, If you're considering spending that much money on just the mod, might as well get the Provari and be set.

Otherwise you could use the money saved on the mod to get yourself some nice delivery devices to slap on it.

Varitube has good prices on ZMAXs and offers a 3 month warranty IIRC.

I agree with all of the above. If you want something different looking, the Tesla is a decent mod as a pretty good price. $69 last I checked at Vapor Alley but they're widely available.

Wow, thanks for all the great feedback. I'll definitely look into all these options.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but even with including an xtar charger that kit is grossly over priced. Only comes with one battery? C'mon!

Why don't you fill us in some about what your wish list is for a new device and we can help from there.
