    My LT just arrived swiftly from ecigwizard uk (on 4th working day).
    Its nice and cant wait for batteries to charge, another hour or 2.
    By the way its been posted from Germany not UK as per envelope.

    Now i just got to track some nice boge silver 3ohm's, where is the best deal guys?
    Will they work in my dct's 3ml/6ml as they have those washer plate/holder on them with the original DCC's?

    cheers

    edit: My LT can adjust voltage by holding the button + or - and changes down or up rather then pressing it each time to increase.
    ( seen a review where it states u can only press not hold to change it, maybe a revised version?)
    edit2: i take that back as its not doing it now, wierd....

    thanks man,

    the volt changing is not doing it now, i recon its me as the - button is a bit offset and probably pressed it multiple times, so false alarm

    I believe the DCTs are too big for the boges unfortunately.

    You can buy xxL boges and they are fine with the DCT from http://www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1076_1078&products_id=7951

    Delivery would be a while from there but they are available in the UK as well from http://www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=108 but they are sold out at the minute.

    I find I need to hit the full 6 with menthol and it is lovely :)

    All though all the rest of my flavours taste horrible.

    Going through a ridiculous amount of eliquid though 30ml in a week!

    I'm glad to hear that because I was beginning to think I'm turning into a nicomaniac using about 60ml a week now with the LT at between 3.8 and 4.5V Never feel the need to go above 4.5V...

    Chainvaping :D I never leave it down Im still at the early stage of giving up cigarettes (2 months nearly) and I used to smoke 30 to 40 a day so I make sure to keep nicotine levels topped up. I have noticed though that I vape more when using 18mg than I would with 24mg.

    I definitely notice that I vape more at lower nic levels, but not in the way I expected. Before I really started vaping, I assumed that if I dropped nic levels that I'd want to vape more to get more nic. Instead it turned out that I wanted to vape more just for the sake of vaping more. I couldn't with 24mg, I'd get nic OD symptoms before I would be satisfied. So I dropped to 18mg and then to 12mg, and now I can vape all I want (which is about 3ml a day). I've tried 0mg a few times and it doesn't quite do it for me, so I still need the nic, but I'm surprised that it hasn't really been a huge driving factor for me.

    I used 18mg for a couple of months and trying to step down to 12mg now. I'm definitely vaping more with the 12mg and never feel like I'm completely satisfied. That said, I bought some 18mg this week again and I find it too strong!

    Could be the juice too I suppose. Usually use Liqua and I think that may be even lower than the 12mg and bought some normal raspberry 18mg stuff from TBS to try it out. A couple of puffs does me cos there's a really strong throat hit off of it.

    I'm after getting a **** load of LR boge carto's this week....2ohm's!

    How high can I drive these on a LT before it'll fall back to 3.7?

    well a 2ohm carto at 5v is a lot harsher than a 3v carto at 5v, i think its even harsher than a 3ohm carto at 6v

    Okay, an ego battery under load is roughly 3.4, yeah?

    So a LT with a 2ohm at around 3.7-4.5 should be smooth enough?

    Maybe I shouldn't have put in such a large order at the HC! :-(

    meh, you wont know until you get it tbh

    some juices you might prefer at 5v, some at 3.6 some at 4.3 you can adjust on the fly per juice/carto so it's not a big deal

    LOVE this yoke!

    Using 2ohm(LR) boges in it, as that's all i have....

    I've just ordered 5 3ohms from TBS to see the difference...

    Am i right in thinking with 3ohm's...that up around the 5v mark the vapour will be a bit cooler?


  • #276
    Sir Digby Chicken Caesar
    Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    cooler than a 2ohm at 5v? yeah should be. maybe not a huge amount cooler, but not as harsh on the inhale and the flavour will probably be a little better.

    I'll be watching the postman myself as Rob Throathit mailed me today to say he is sending my MOD but I'm really missing the LT now until that arrives. I'm practically eating the ego battery trying to get a decent vape, if I'm not careful I'll swallow it.:D Glad you are enjoying the LT anyway...

    4.2v on the 2ohm really seems to be the spot, if i chain vape it, it gets very warm, and not too pleasant...but i think i'm just vaping more than i normally would cus it's a 'New Toy'

    I remember the feeling of the vapour heating up alright, it surprised me how warm it was at first as I didnt expect the vapour to be as warm. I was using it on halo liquids the other day on a 2.ohm and could hardly go above 3.7V with it. I think some liquids are meant to be vaped at lower than others but thats what is so handy with VV adjusting to make the liquid suit your taste.

    I got some Dekang butter scotch last week, was absolutely RANK.

    Left it steep for the week and just tried it there @ 4.5volts. Unreal!!!!

    After 20 minutes of vaping the ButterScotch, it went funny again, a very sickly flavor.

    Anyway, got my 3ohms this morning from Bart @ thebestshop....

    The difference between the LR and the Standard Resistance on the lavatube is unreal, just took a 6v hit on the 3ohm carto and the flavor was out of this world.

    deffo gonna have to put in an order for some more 3ohm cartos!

    absolutely agree, the 3ohm's are my favorite now too.
    I usually do em ~4.5v , menthol bit higher even.
    Totally love it, flavor and vapor are deliciously and satisfying for me....

    Well after a couple of days usage, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to an eGo battery!

    The only downside is the crazy looks i'm getting from people when I'm walking around the place...gonna have to limit my Vaping while walking around! :-)

    Now it's reading 3.7...when should I change it?

    Yep, its mad the way people look at you when they see such a strange looking device as it just looks like a big crack pipe or something especially with the tank on it.

    I used to change them at about 3.5, it flashes to let you know at about 3.3 I think.

    i always kept an ego battery and some LR cartos around if I had to go out : )

    i change my batteries around 3.6-3.7, i think it depends on the voltage but if you're vaping at higher voltages you notice the performance drop more as the battery discharges

    i do change it around there, sometimes when its fully low my charger makes funny sounds for couple minutes.
    So i try to avoid full discharge for a bit.
    To be honest it shouldn't make a difference tho.

    Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    I read somewhere else (ECF probably) that letting them go below 3.5v damages their lifespan, so typically I'll change them there.

    I'll be getting one of the Smoktech Vmax tubes within the next couple of weeks.
    One vendor on UKvapers said it was cheap and nasty but there's a guy on the ECF that has one and says it's fantastic. Apparently it doesn't drop voltage under load either, it looks like people are complaining about the finish more than anything.

    Chris at Britvapes has the VMAX on pre-order for £59.95 including the batteries so I'm going to take one for the team and be the forum Guinea pig.

    Here's a review in German by the even more camp cousin of David Walliams - go to about 12.25 to check out the amount of vapour this thing produces.



    And another in an unidentified language but with voltage tests, looks like this is a good mod!

    Quick one here for the veterans.

    Been using standard resistance carto's around the 4.5v mark the last couple of days.
    Does anyone notice they go through a LOT more fluid using Standard as opposed to LR?

    Since Monday I've easily gone through 20+ml!

    could be the lavatube limited itself downwards as you use the LR cartos?

    Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    hrm.. do, it's an interesting one

    the lavatube should be able to push a 2ohm carto up to about 5v so I guess it really shouldn't be limiting itself.

    best bet would be to vape LR for a few days and see if you vape less/more/the same

    20+ml in 4 days though, jesus :) I thought I was a heavy vaper

    Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,759 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    Yeah it does seem a little bit too much juice to use in a couple of days.

    When I've an LR in there it doesn't seem to limit anyway, anywhere from 3.7-5v it snaps crackles and pops like there's no tomorrow, with a 3ohm one I've to push it over 5v to really get her going!

    yeah I tended to go to 5v with my SR boges but I did start running them at 4.5v most of the time in the weeks before I got my RDA
    I suppose that's where the variable in variable voltage comes in :)

    Might pick up a bottle or 18mg and see how I fare out!
