What is this "Lambo" style eGo connector? I've never heard of it and have not idea what it is.
A link with a picture for clarification would be appreciated but not required. Errol

Here is a video about the Lambo. New version lavatube/ VV Ecig/varivolt eGo, Lambo, J-lin Technology, J-lin Lambo - YouTube
It appears we have about 4 different types of Lavas out there now that are slightly different.
Version 1, Version 1.5, Version 3 and the Lambo Version.

I am hoping someone can help. I want to purchase the V3 LT; I am currently deployed and I do not have access to stream videos. So my main question, does the V3 have the same issue as the V1 when it comes to voltage dropping under load? Lastly, how durable is the device? I am a bit of a clutz, actually a major clutz, I drop and break things often.
I'll tell you tomorrow. I'll slap on a DC carto and do some vaping on mine once it arrives and compare it to 3.7v, I'll also test a few others. I don't have a multimeter but I can vape to taste against one of my 3.7v and 5v mods and let you know the skinny.
No prob. If I'm going to use it as a device, I might as well give my opinion on it, especially considering there aren't really any opinions on it yet.
Just tossing some pennies out there and hoping for some change back...
I did some thinking USAGeorge made a decently valid point and I would like to get someones opinion on how I am thinking.
This is not an exact quote!
"A 3.0ohm coil has more coil then say a 1.5ohm, when ran at a higher voltage the 3.0ohm coil will have more surface area touching your liquid, thus creating a better and more consistent vape while still using the same wattage"
I have personally seen this and understand what he is saying there. I had a SR and an LR atomizer from volcano and the LR had MUCH less coil.
I've also been playing with a wattage calculator and the way I see it, at 2.5amps I can run my 1.5ohm DCT at a max of 3.7v which is a pretty damn good vape with some adjustment to go lower. That should run at about 10watts.
I would much rather use my 1.8ohm single coil though since I could go up to 4.5v, .3v higher then my Ego style battery at full charge. This should be around 11.25watts and gives more play room in the higher end.
Knowing all of this my understanding of my options is this, I could get the 3.0revision with the 4amp switch and be in vaping nirvana with all the stuff I have now. OR, I could get the older SS model with a 2.5amp switch and just replace my now old equipment with some HV stuff. The HV equipment at a higher voltage will theoretically put out a much better vapor then the LR equipment at a equal wattage? Is this about right? Are they releasing the 3.0 to appease the folks who demand LR equipment? or is it about the want to get a higher wattage? 6v at 1.5ohm is 4amps and 24watts. Seems a bit excessive if you ask me.
Now the part that concerns me most, I like my new DCT. Do I need this 4amp model to run my DCT even if I get the 2.5ohm dual coils? or would I be ok with the 2.5amp version? Dual coils have me very confused. It's the main reason I am looking at this upgrade. My current ego style LCD batteries cut off on me at full charge with the 1.5ohm DCT. I just got this DCT so I don't have any other carts to try out with it yet.
Here's hoping for some solid answers that I think will help others looking at this purchase as well!
Thanks in advance!

Kazoo, good points. I think you're right, it probably is overkill, or to make people who like running LR dual coils on these things. I dunno, as I don't own a VV mod...yet.
I'm more hopeful that the voltage drop out will be resolved with this new LT more than anything. I don't intend to draw over 3 amps under any circumstances really.

I believe you're misunderstanding it. The 3.0 is an improvement to the performance of the LT family because it is a direct upgrade to the circuitry of the 1.0 and 1.5 chipsets, with all of the features of the 1.5 but with a higher-amp limit.
It allows you to do more things. That's it, and I personally don't see why you wouldn't like pay nearly the same amount of money to have that option available to you because tastes change and products change. One day you may become a dual-coil fan. Who knows.
This is getting more confusing all the time. lol This is an email I got concerning the Lambo.
7:36:30 AM] Gary Briggs: do you know what an l-rider is?
[7:37:33 AM] Derek @ J-lin: an l-rider? company
[7:37:45 AM] Gary Briggs: idk a customer asked me this "Does the Lambo display resistance of carto like the L-Rider 1.5 and Version 3?"
[7:38:51 AM] Derek @ J-lin: lambo is version 2, there is no version 1.5. l-rider and us are brother company in China, share all the products info.
[7:39:34 AM] Derek @ J-lin: version 3 still not released, will release about 3 months later
[7:39:39 AM] Derek @ J-lin:
[7:40:00 AM] Gary Briggs: ok.. so...no?
[7:40:44 AM] Gary Briggs: i think it is a provari feature everybody likes but this guy thinks l-rider has one that does it i guess
[7:40:48 AM] Derek @ J-lin: there's another product we are making, will display resistance, but not finished
[7:40:56 AM] Derek @ J-lin:
[7:41:35 AM] Derek @ J-lin: so we claim to our customers there's no such product display resistance on sale
[7:41:58 AM] Gary Briggs: j-lin and l-rider have no such feature available on ay products yet?
[7:42:20 AM] Derek @ J-lin: yes right
[7:42:26 AM] Gary Briggs: ok thanks again!?
[7:42:57 AM] Derek @ J-lin: i will tell you once new product released. My pleasure Gary!
With the 1.5 L-Rider you push the power button and the lcd displays the voltage for 2 sec and then the resistance of the carto for two seconds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my take so far is there are at least two companies L-Rider and J-lin making different versions of the Lavatube.

I actually think there are four and maybe more different companies making some version of the Lavatube, L-Rider, J-lin, Unig and Young June. They all appear to have some differences.
I think I'm going to hold off getting another one until the dust settles and we know what we are getting and who makes it.
I want a mini with at least 3 A that reads ohms and has the recessed ego flex connection like the Lambo. If anyone sees one let me know.

Yeah, I think these 3.0's are actually a revision of the 1.5's from Young June. So maybe we should call them 1.6's or 2.5's or something. I just wish they hadn't used the exact same form factor, because that's what's causing the massive confusion, imo.
Dr. Venture if you re-read my post you will notice that I'm trying to decide if I should get the 1.5 SS model or the new 3.0 model, I need it ASAP as my eGo clone batteries do not work very well with my current 1.5ohm DCT. So unfortunately I don't really have time to wait for the new 3.0 SS models to come out in another month or so. That would be my preferred way to go and I will get one when they are released. But I need something now as my current batteries are garbage.
When I do make this purchase I will be getting 2.5ohm DCTs as well so that should alleviate some of my problems with the ego batteries, I hope. But at the same time on my ego they will have a much weaker vape. This is my main reason for wanting a Lavatube, that and the voltage consistency equals a huge win for me!
I do understand that by purchasing the 3.0 version i will have the option. But if they are just an upgraded switch with the same internals of the 1.5 and I'm not worried about the option to go higher wouldn't I be happy with the 1.5 SS over an aluminum body 3.0? I'm pretty rough with my equipment, part of why I would prefer the SS version. The ego connector is also a plus to me.
Dual coils are my primary concern here. I want em, cause at first puff I am in love. I've had it for about a week now and plan on getting many more! Will a 2.5ohm DCT work with the 1.5 SS model or would my money definitely be better placed on the aluminum body 3.0?
As far as price is concerned the SS model is $20 more then the aluminum body model. Making it the same price as the new 3.0 model. So even if I get a 1.5 SS now when the 3.0 SS comes out it is still going to be $20 more.
Thanks for the help guys! I really do appreciate it ^_^
On a personal note, probably not a good idea to post long posts when your drunk lol

This may be common knowledge but new to me so I thought I would post it here.
Heres is what happened.
L-rider manufactured he lavatube and sold it to different countries.
Volcano cut an impossible deal with them to be exclusive to the USA.
They had to sell a certain amount by a certain time in order to remain exclusive.
Volcano defaulted, and it was then available to anybody.
L-rider and j-lin work together, and both sold the lavatube.
V2 IS the ss apollo and anything else you see that looks like a lavatube.
In the beginning of V2, J-lin manufactured the steel bodies for apollo.
The production became too difficult so they switched production to the brass bodies and chromed it.
The steel bodies are long gone. no matter who sells it they are all made by j-lin.
They all have brass bodies and chrome finish with 2.5 amp limit.
The Lambo is what it is called! Manufactured by J-lin!
The instruction manual itself shows LAMBO by J-lin right on the front cover.
It is a v2 lavatube brass made with chrome finish and a 2.5 amp limit.
As for this v1.5 3.3 amp limit resistance reading mod made by l-rider, it sounds like the one that is in the works that is not completely finished and needs more time to complete. Where did you purchase it?
So evidently the Lavas that read resistance and are rated at 3.3 and 4 Amps are not made by L-Rider but by Young June.
I love a good mystery in the morning to make my day interesting. lol

This won't add anything to solving the mystery but there is a review at Vaping Guide that has a nice picture of the eGo type connection with the flexible spring loaded center pin. Chrome Lavatube Review | Vaping Guides to the Electronic Cigarette
Glad you've brought all this out as I'm going to wait until a 3.5amp or better version of this PV is available. If not for your research I would have bought whatever was claiming to be a 4amp unit and definitely missing these very desirable features.
Keep us informed.
