Has anyone heard about this yet? I thought Volcano had sole rights to sell in the US.

That's what they were saying and I guess technically it's correct but I've seen it a few other places with different names. I guess all that has to be changed is the name then they can claim they are sole US Vender for of the LavaTube.

This one appears to have the fake AW IMR's with the sticker removed that volcano was sold which are unprotected Li-ion batts in the kit... Also the web site has had some less then stellar comments on other parts of the forum...
To my understanding Volcano has exclusivity to the name of the Lavatube... Which also was suppose include distribution in the US but I guess that isn't so since those are not the first VV tubes I have seen on the web... The galaxy was the first non Volcano US sold VV tube that I saw...

True, the deal at electronicstix is not bad tho, even after chucking the batteries and replacing them. And like Fray said, ya gotta love then name Cylon. Of course only a 3 month warranty versus the one year at Volcano, that may be a deal breaker. I have had to have mine serviced already, and I had really, really great response and service from Volcano.

I don't want to confuse people the Cylon kit from Jason at Electronicstixs "DOES NOT" come with the fake IMR's it has the generic pink imrs that were sold in kits not distributed by volcano... Aslo the Electronicstix self named IMR are not fakes as well...
The Power tube Kit does appear to have the same battery that was passed on to volcano as an AW IMR....
very well Scot, we can agree that the batteries in the Cylon kit are not AW brand tho, yes? Since AW does not produce flat top batteries.
@Moofaso.... The combination of you comment and my quote might give the impression I was giving Electronicstixs a bad wrap which I was not... I have had nothing but stellar service from Electronicstixs... I was referring to the seller of the Power Tube as having some negative comments about them...
not at all, although I have not traded with electronicstix I have heard many good things about them, I am certainly not trying to give them a bad wrap either. I think they have a pretty nice deal on the Cylon. I am just an AW kinda guy, hence my AW comments. But still, seems like a good deal from a great company.
Moofaso... Agree to what you said previous about the Cylon batteries not being AW's... Cheers...
I was raising a red flag about the second kit you posted appears to have the exact same battery that was passed along as the fake AW IMR flat top battery Volcano got scammed on. We all know if it is the same battery it is not an IMR period and is in fact an unprotected LI-ion battery.

The good thing is the more vendors that get them the lower the price will be. The tube I got from Volcano was 69.00 and now you can get the kit for that price. I expect them to come down even more.
The one year warranty was the deciding factor for me in ordering the LT from Volcano as I hope I can actually start saving some cash over buying analogs eventually...I have alot of fun with vaping buying too much stuff so far....lol
I use the battery that came in my kit and it works fine. Its just not the AW brand. I have a couple AW brands also and use them all. I can't tell any difference performance wise.
If it's marked 18650 AW IMR 1600mah and anything other button top it's a fake. AW Does not make a IMR 18650 flat top. They do make flat top protected 18650s and the IMR 26500 may be flat top as well if I'm not mistaken.
They are coming out soon with a AW IMR 18650 2000mah battery. I assume it's going to be button top as well but haven't seen it yet.
I bought the Knightrider from a dealer up in Canada. Ofcourse it's the same thing as the LT but I wanted it in all black, and I mean ALL black. Even all the buttons are black, including the power button.
On the volcano site it looks like the tube itself is still 69.00 and there is no option to select the kit in the drop down menu. If that price is for the kit, I will order tonight!The good thing is the more vendors that get them the lower the price will be.
