  1. The Firefly does come with a custom gift box.

    Ya, I'd love the custom gift box! LOL I found out about the Knockout Vapor place on Face Book. Figured I'd post about it on my favorite vape site! :) I'm sure that ECF has some raving posts about these guys too, but I hardly ever log on there. Just can't get into that site for some reason. I bet I only have maybe 8 or 9 posts on that site. People are more friendly here!

  2. I've only purchased the one single KGO battery so far. I musta got a good one. About to buy a double kit or a couple of singles. Not looking forward to getting defective ones. I am a little surprised to hear the QC is down on these. I use my KGO all the times except for when its on the charger. Then I use my eGo 650 mAh plugged into my USB port. Are you getting your KGO's from Hoosier? That's where I purchased my chrome single battery. Planning to get additional ones from them too. Hope they are all good quality. Not so sure now.

  3. I have several eGo chargers, 4 to be exact, and they all work with my KGO battery. The only eGo type chargers that have a problem with KGO batteries, are the Joye "Brand" chargers. (Actually made by Joye) I wasn't sure what the info meant on the Hoosier site so I talked with the owner. What I have found holds true with what he says. If you have a charger manufactured by Joye, you'll need a different eGo type charger to charge your KGO.

  4. As far as I know, Radio Shack doesn't even sell 17670 batteries. I looked on there site, couldn't find any. Not a good place to buy batteries anyway. The article says the man bought the "proper" batteries at Radio Shack. Sounds like BS to me. Wonder what kind of battery the idiots at Radio Shack sold the man? I would think Radio Shack would be to blame. How could Puresmoker be to blame?

  5. i read somewhere that eGo chargers will not charge kGo's and vice versa, or at least there won't be good results if you do that. can't remember where though.

    Joye Tech "Brand" eGo chargers won't work with KGO batteries. Hoosierecig states this with the KGO batteries. I've been using all my eGo type chargers with my KGO batteries without any problems. KGO's have a problem with eGo chargers made by Joye Tech for some reason. Why I don't know. :)

  6. I don't believe the FDA has a very good track record. Especially here lately. They have approved many items, then suddenly those same FDA approved items are proved dangerous or unsafe, then the FDA back tracks, then media ads are released, recalls are started, lawsuits are filed and people end up dead or seriously injured. (By using FDA APPROVED items) Yes, I agree, the FDA = Idiots! Prejudging close-minded self-serving egotistical morons!

  7. Do you like the KGO's, or have you not purchased one yet? I have one of the newer chrome threaded, 1100mAh KGO's with the 5 click on/off. I got it from Hoosier as a single. I also got a couple bigbore cones since I use the larger diameter clear dual coil cartomizers. I've been using the KGO all the time, except for when it's charging of course. Then I use one of my eGo 650mAh. The KGO's are really good batteries. I also like the soft blue LED button. They do put out a higher voltage, as Hoosier claims. If you're thinking about getting one, they are available as singles. :)

  8. I got my KGO 1100mAh from hoosierecigsupply.com also. Since I got it, I only use my eGo 650's when my KGO is charging. IMO these work great with the Smoke Tech 1.5 Ohm dual coil clear cartomizers. I just recently bought a couple 1.25 Ohm's and they pop and crackle even better. :) Plenty of power with these KGO batteries! Glad you're having good luck with these too! :)

  9. We have a "Smoke anywhere" dump at the mall and it's a total rip off! A 10ml bottle of 24mg any flavor is $21.00 with tax. I wouldn't buy any of the kits. They only have "high priced" cartridge type junk. In most cases its best to buy online. Unless you have a local vaping lounge close. I'd drive all the way to Tulsa to Vaporkings before I'd bother with the place here in Joplin. I just hate the LONG wait in the Midwest with the SLOW postal service. Most of the time the shipment is sitting in Kansas City for days.

  10. I agree maverick, Since I purchased the SmokTech XL Clear Dual Coils and the Clear eGo Mega Dual Coil cartomizers, my black and stainless have been sitting in the boxes pretty much. They taste and hit cleaner for some reason. Last longer too. I got out a couple black and stainless and for some reason, they taste funny now. If you haven't already done so, check out these "bigbore" cones. They allow you to use cones with the XL Clears on eGo type batteries. :)

  11. I've only used a DC on my Provari a couple of times, but I was able to go up to 4.6V. Any higher and I got an error.

    Must be the variance of each Provari and each dual coil cartomizer used. Everyone gets different cut off points. I'm guessing. :)

  12. Quoting a post on the Volcano Forum, this is how the Provari and Lavatube handle a dual coil cartomizer-

    Dual coil 1.5 Ohm on my Provari errors out at 4.2V and the Lavatube power is limited to about 4.1V but all gear have some variances, but right around 2.5A limit.

  13. I already have the Provari, so I bought this mod to see if a mod that is $100 cheaper could compare. I've only had it for a couple weeks, but it's performing great so far. I have only been using SR attys. I have the next couple weeks off work so I will be playing with it and seeing how it performs with other set ups ( ie.. EMDCC, DCC, LR attys/cartos).

    ps..... Will is correct the connector leans slightly.

    Looking forward to seeing your findings using the Lavatube along with LR and LR dual coils. I asked a person about this on the Volcano forum and he said that he thinks the cut off points on the Lavatube and Provari are about the same. 2.5 amp limits. He has both Mods also. I remember seeing a post that said the Lavatube is limited to 2.67 amps, but I can't find the post now.

  14. I read that Volcano had field testers for the Lavatube. Not sure how long the trials were held though. It must have held up pretty well, since it went on into production. So far, all I've seen is cosmetic problems mostly. The one major error the manufacturer had made was not drilling the vent hole out completely. That has been corrected. Some units had white spots in the paint finish. Some units in the first run had 510 connectors that weren't pressed down straight. I read that buyers were correcting that problem by pressing the 510 connector over, and down, till it was straight. I'd probably end up with a cracked end cap. So I'm waiting to purchase mine during the sale of the 2nd or 3rd production run. I'm assuming that they are selling the 2nd shipment now, from what I am reading. IMO the only major problem to be afraid of would be if the micro-processor developed problems in the programming. I have heard in videos and read on there forum that it does drop the voltage down to limit the current drain with LR loads. The Pro-vari does this also, and gives out an error code. Myself, I'd rather have the unit automatically drop the voltage down. I'm ok with that. Doesn't the Pro-vari have the same limitations? Or can you vape a LR load at high voltages on the Pro-vari? I don't own one. I'd like to know the limit point on a Pro-vari, when it gives the error code, using LR dual coils. All in all, I think Volcano has a nice low cost VV Mod. It's also easy to use, without having to press a menu button multiple times to get through a menu. The Lava tube has all the features I'd want except it doesn't give you a display read out of the resistance of the atomizer/cartomizer load.

  15. BCVapor out of Canada is also selling these to US residents. http://www.smarthose...multi-meter/#ru

    Of course its being marketed as a multimeter since e-cigs are illegal there I believe.

    Cool idea to get around Canadian laws. :) Did ya check out the other items for sale? I love the LED Smart Faucet Head!

    GrimmGreen wants a LED Smart Faucet! I do too! :) Nicfitnation posted the video! Small world I guess! LOL

  16. I wonder if that overseas party is bound by Volcano's & L-Rider's contract?

    Luke at Vapor Galaxy is a cool guy. I hope this gets resolved OK.

    I don't know but, only one of the three companies I contacted said that they would sell to "Anyone" in the United States because of the legal agreement made between Volcano and L-Rider. The company I contacted in Portugal said that they will "soon" be offering there version with a blue LCD display, and they said they would sell to me here in the US, if I placed an order for a single unit for my own personal use. I've been hoping that Volcano would offer blue or green displays somewhere down the road, but I don't think they will since the company loves RED colored items. They are supposed to be selling red and silver Lavatubes soon though. All (Black, Red, Silver) with red LCD displays I'm guessing.

    I've only placed a few orders with Vaporgalaxy, but they seem to be a pretty good company. How they couldn't have known about this agreement in the US on the Lavatube, I don't know. Unless they can get around it by naming it the Galaxy VV Mod maybe. All these over-seas companies have a lotta different names for this one Mod.
