LavaTube Review

Postby skippy » Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:50 pm

I picked up my lava tube from my local post office earlier today and I have been chain vaping on it every since. I got the silver one and it is beautiful. The body feels very well made and just like grim green I am in love with the very clicky button. I got two tube tanks and wow, these things are awesome. Now for some pros and cons:

Pros:
Looks like a light saber, perfect for a star wars nerd like myself.
Smaller than I expected it to be
Variable voltage, of course
Works with every atomizer I have tried.
Battery life is fantastic so far
Case is cushioned

And now the dreaded cons, don't worry there's not many

510 connection is a little off centered
Batter cap digs into my fingers. Not a major flaw at all
Buttons are a little small, but again not a major issue

That's all folks. I'll give the lava tube a 9.8 out of 10 because nothing is perfect, but this thing is worth the money and then some.

Let me know what you guys think of this.

Nice Review! I love my Silver LavaTube as well! My black LT came with a slight off centered 510 connection too. But I corrected that by ever so carefully using my tube tank on it, centered it. No ill effects whatsoever. Granted do this at your own risk if you so choose to straighten it. Glad you are enjoying your new LT! :thumbup:

The plastic on my battery cap fell off the first day. I like it better without.

I love this device and it pairs so well with the TT's. This thing is responsible for keeping me off of analogs for over two months. Love it!

I stepped up to a lava tube tonight, I really am enjoying it. One interesting bit at even very low voltage settings I'm notice much more vapor production than with the inferno. I am also noticing that over 5.0 volts seems to virtually knock all sweetness out of juice and a good portion of the flavor.

Switching between the Inferno and the LavaTube, with Volcano brand RY Four in a LR Atomizer tank. Making sure not to exceed 4.2 on the LT, though I believe there is an auto limitter. The Inferno theoretically has an output voltage of 3.7, in order to get the same flavor on both (using a fully charged Inferno battery hooked up to USB) I have to dial the LT down to 3.4. Noticeable difference in flavor beginning at 3.5 and ramping up sharply thereafter.

Volcano juices seemed to be tuned to a lower range of watts than can be reached with the Lavatube. The LT is great when I want a big massive cloud of vapor though.
