Hi guys, the lavatube I bought from Vapourhut arrived today but I'm having a few problems with it.

When I connect some cartos to it and check their resistance the display shows up as "9.9A" as if nothings connected, though if I plug them into my other battery they work fine.

With other cartos connected the resistance meter reads anything between 0.0 and the resistance of the carto depending on how tightly it's connected.

At one point the display also showed "lo" when it was activated, though this seems to have stopped now.

Is this normal operation or have I got a duff lavatube?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I hope so! Mine is arriving from them tomorrow so I'll add my feedback when I get it.
 
I ended up buying a Ego-C (non Twist) 650mah battery along with a Ego Vision clearo and it's been absolutely great. Compared to my old Ego-T system, it's night and day, I can actually get consistently good flavour and vapour produced and most importantly, I've been off the cigs for 6 days now!

Can't express how happy I am :D I bought a few new flavours but I'm not getting along with many of them - namely the Energy Cow one from Vape Escape. I just can't get to grips with the flavour, I think it may be due to the higher nicotine content (22mg) which is making it harsher than I remember it but if anyone fancies a trade for something fruity, do please let me know.

Does the battery make much difference on these, I have the ego-t and fancied grabbing a clearo to try

The only difference between batteries is that some have longer life, and some can vary the voltage so you can pump more volts into your atty. A clearo should fit just fine so go for it.
 
The only thing making me considering one is I cleaned my ego t for the first time and after priming vaping was weak to start with as expected but the flavor was much clearer and cleaner. After half a cart it returned to normal. Would a new cart like the vivi2 improve over that?

Looking on the website I use they have the clearo and the vivi2 with would be better, flavor wise?

I've found the Vision Ego V3 to be good. I'm using 4 of them at the moment for different flavours.

Make sure it's the version 3 though, as these have long wicks and replaceable heads which come in different resistances.

I've got a mini nova on order which should arrive today, so I'll post my thoughts on that when I've tried it out.
 
Ah cool cheers my man, I'm more interested in flavor over anything. Not being a smoker and using nic free juices that's the most important thing for me

Review snip!

After my previous test of different tanks (snipped above) I bought a replacement tip for the Kanger T2. The plastic tip now has 4 clips on it to hold the metal screw thread in place. It works quite nicely, holding everything together. The tank's been in my pocket for about a week now and I haven't had any leaks at all.

The only problem with the tank is the short wick. Like all the other short wick tanks, after a few drags, it dries out and you have to tip the tank to wet it which is really starting to annoy me.


I have had another delivery: A Vivi Mini Nova.

Like the full size Vivi Nova it arrived in a nice presentation box:

And comes with three heads of 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8Ohms. The 1.8 is fitted:

The Nova strips down completely to make cleaning very easy. Unlike the full size Nova, though, it comes with long wicks fitted:

A couple of pics to show it's size, compared to the full size Nova (I've swapped the tip on the full size nova) and sitting on a 650mAh battery:

There's not as much room to fill the Mini as there is in the full size Nova (sorry the photo's a bit blurry), but it's certainly not difficult to do or any worse than any of the other tanks.

Compared to the full size Nova the design is slightly improved with the knurled metal-work being larger and much easier to grip when taking the Mini apart


I started using the fitted 1.8ohm head with a standard eGo battery and I hate to say it but the taste was slightly off. It wasn't burning dry but there was something not quite right about it that I just couldn't put my finger on.

I wanted to try it on my LavaTube but it wouldn't pick up the Mini. I'm still not sure if it's my LavaTube that isn't working properly though.

I put the Mini on my eGo C upgrade that can turn off the voltage regulation and it improved but there was still something odd about the taste of it.

It's annoying because I cannot figure out what's wrong, it just tastes odd!

I'll stick with it for a few days then switch to one of the other heads and let you know how it goes.


Still, it produces plenty of vapour, looks and fits better on the eGo battery (doesn't wobble about at all) and because of the long wick doesn't burn dry very often, at least until the tank gets quite low, but that's a fairly standard problem with all the tanks.

It costs around twice as much as the other tanks at about £11 but feels like it has a better construction and feels more solid than the other tanks so I'd say it was worth the price. The replacement heads are comparable to the other tanks at around £2.50 a piece.


I'm very close to recommending it except for the slightly off taste. Like I say, I'll try it for a few more days then put a different head on and see what happens.

At the moment though, I'll be sticking with the Vision eGo V3 as my main tank of choice.
 
i watched a youtube review on these, the reviewer said that they realy benefit form a dry break-in. connect to a low volt source and do three or five 5 second dry burns, he said that this breaks it in pretty much streight away and improves it out of the box.

i know very little about vaping at the moment but thought it may be handy for you to know.

are the wicks replaceable on these or do you need a fully rebuildable tank for that, descriptions for the item are vague from what i have wread?
 
Cheers for that, I'll give it a try when I put the next head on it. The taste has definitely improved after leaving it soaking over night as well.

The wicks don't seem to be replaceable, the whole head (wick and atomizer) is a single unit that can be replaced. I'll try to get a photo of the head when I get home tonight.
 
ive been browsing youtube videos all morning and came across a German tut on how to replace the wick in the vivi tank, looks straight forward enough if just a little fiddly, im going to order the ego replaceable or vivi mini and imagine the same will apply to them, ill give it a bash and report back.
 
Anyone fancy swapping some eliquids? I've got a 30ml (used a few drops out of it) bottle of 24mg Energy Cow which I'm not really getting on with.
