Which version LT is this?

LavaTube Premium Starter Kit

I ordered this and its on its way.

Is this v1 or v1.5, the one that has the battery issue.

Also, is that battery charger any good?

That looks like the version 1. With questionable batts and a questionable charger.

aww, im a little disappointed now, can you link me to some good batts and a charger. I heard talk of trustfire

I've been using those same batteries and charger for almost 3 months without issue. The charger is kind of "cheap" but I think if you're careful with it and don't yank the cord out of the wall when unplugging it it will last awhile..BTW most likely those batteries are unbranded Sanyo's...

Joey,

Thats the version 1. I had one and it vapes just fine. The batteries and charger are perfectly fine as well. On a full charge you'll get well over a day of solid vaping. It is however limited to 2.5 amps so it struggles with 1.5 dual cartos but its great with everything else. Get yourself some 3 ohm single coil cartos and start vaping at 4.5 and work your way up to your sweet spot. I vape alot of robust coffee flavors and found that 5.2 v or so was really nice. Definately produced more flavor and vapor then an ego batt.

Furthermore.... Its an easy unit to use and never let me down. I used it for a couple months and handed it over to my brother in law who i turned onto vaping. I moved up to the next version lavatube that I grabbed from vapor alley. It has a 4.0 amp limit and does seem to handle the 1.5 dual coils very well. After using that for a while now..... Im thinking its finally time to go Provari.

Dont second guess it. Its a nice intro to vari volt vaping. Enjoy.

ok, thanks for the reassurance. I will be cautious with the charger. I already have a bunch of sc 3.0 just waiting on the lt to come

This is a great review of the LT! PBusardo is an ECF member, too, and the info he provides in this video was invaluable to me. I just got my first LT 2 days ago, (Version 1) and I love it!! The video is long, but he covers everything you need to know about the LT, including the performance of different cartos/attys and at what resistance (Ohms) work best. I believe the version LT he reviewed wasn't version 1, but the information should still apply. Hope this helps!

trukinlady,

The LTs in that review are definitely Version 1 from L-Rider. You can tell instantly by the style of the caps and the red power button. The more recent versions (or "knockoffs," if that's your perspective) are from Uniq or Young June. They come with various caps but always have power buttons that match the body color, at least for black or silver.

That review was from back in February and has been viewed 10,000 times. Phil and Grimm Green are by far the most popular video vaping reviewers.

I bought a Mini from them during the Mom's Day sale and it's a great "at home" unit for me. I just ordered another for my son (using the code) as he'll probably swipe mine anyway...
