Lavatube Electronic Cigarette

If you are searching for the best electronic cigarette on the market, stop now. The Lavatube electronic cigarette is the last electronic cigarette you will ever need to buy.

What is the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

The Lavatube Electronic Cigarette is the latest creation by Volcano, the leading company in the e-cig industry. If you have ever tried one of the common “mini electronic cigarettes” on the market and found that they just can’t produce enough vapor to satisfy your nicotine cravings, the Lavatube electronic cigarette is for you. The Lavatube is the first affordable electronic cigarette with the ability to adjust its voltage to any value between 3.0 and 6.0 volts. Standard electronic cigarettes deliver just 3.7 volts of power to the atomizer, resulting in minimal vapor and often failing to satisfy the nicotine cravings of a long-term smoker. At six volts, you will be blowing clouds of vapor like you could never have imagined before.

The Lavatube electronic cigarette starter kit includes a durable protective case.

How does the Lavatube electronic cigarette work?

The Lavatube electronic cigarette is so simple that even a complete novice could use it. After putting the 1600 mAh battery inside the Lavatube and pressing the power button to turn the electronic cigarette on, all you need to do is screw your favorite atomizer or cartomizer into the terminal at the top, add e-liquid, hold the large fire button on the side and inhale just like with a real cigarette. The Lavatube electronic cigarette has two adjustment buttons that you can use to raise and lower the voltage, and the screen displays the current voltage level each time you press one of the buttons.

How does the Lavatube compare to other electronic cigarettes?

The Lavatube is in a completely different league from other electronic cigarettes. Other electronic cigarettes are designed to look like real cigarettes, which results in some major design compromises; “mini electronic cigarettes” have just an hour or two of battery life and produce a small amount of vapor that many long-term smokers find unsatisfying. The Lavatube electronic cigarette is a slightly larger design — comparable in size to a small pocket flashlight. The battery is equal in capacity to that of nearly 18 “mini electronic cigarette” batteries, enough to keep even the most dedicated smoker going all day. For double the power, grab an extra Lavatube battery for just $11.99 before you check out.

How much vapor can I get from the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

Lavatube Electronic Cigarette Voltage Power Watts

The Lavatube electronic cigarette delivers more than twice the power of a standard e-cigarette.

The Lavatube electronic cigarette delivers a massive 12 watts of power when turned up to 6 volts and used with the included atomizer or another 3 ohm high-resistance atomizer or cartomizer. With a standard 3.7 volt electronic cigarette and a 2.5 ohm atomizer, you’re getting less than half of the power and vapor that the Lavatube electronic cigarette delivers. Some companies attempt to get around this problem by selling low-resistance atomizers that coax additional power out of 3.7 volt batteries, but low-resistance atomizers have a nasty habit of killing expensive batteries suddenly and permanently — and still fail to deliver the power of the Lavatube electronic cigarette.

Or, suppose you prefer to buy pre-filled cartomizers and skip the hassle of filling your own cartomizers or dripping e-liquid from a bottle; pre-filled cartomizers do not come in multiple resistance levels, so if you have a standard electronic cigarette battery and are unhappy with the vapor production of your favorite cartomizer, there is nothing you can do. The Lavatube electronic cigarette changes all that; just dial the voltage up until you get the satisfying flavor you have always wanted.

How do I use the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

Lavatube electronic cigarette battery with positive side facing up.

If you have never used a manual electronic cigarette before, you are in for a treat. Automatic batteries can be extremely fussy, refusing to turn on when you use them, only to turn on unexpectedly when you try to carry them in your pocket! The Lavatube electronic cigarette gives you complete control over the experience, producing vapor as long as you hold the fire button and stopping immediately when you release it.

To prepare the Lavatube electronic cigarette for use, twist off the bottom cap and insert a battery with the positive side facing the top of the Lavatube. If the Lavatube is turned on, you will see the screen light up. If it doesn’t, hold the power button to turn the Lavatube on. Twist the Lavatube atomizer into the top terminal and push the drip tip into the large opening at the top. Place about 4-5 drops of e-liquid into the hole at the top of the drip tip, and wait about 30 seconds for it to soak in. This is to prepare the atomizer for its first use; in the future, you can use the Lavatube electronic cigarette almost immediately after adding e-liquid to the atomizer.

Before you use the Lavatube electronic cigarette for the first time, use the buttons on the front to set the power level at 3.7 volts. This prevents you from getting a burned taste if you have accidentally added too little e-liquid. Hold the button down and draw the vapor into your mouth. If everything is working as it should, raise the voltage until you get the flavor, throat hit and satisfaction you desire. As you continue dripping with the Lavatube electronic cigarette, you’ll need to add a few extra drops of e-liquid periodically to keep the atomizer from becoming dry.

Do I have to use the high-resistance atomizer that comes with the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

No! Part of the beauty of the Lavatube electronic cigarette is that you can use nearly any atomizer or cartomizer on the market. Almost every electronic cigarette attachment uses compatible threading — just look for anything with the model numbers “510″ and “306.” Volcano also sells a large selection of attachments, from pre-filled cartomizers, to mega clearomizers and the massive Tube Tank. All of these accessories work with the Lavatube electronic cigarette.

Volcano Lavatube Electronic Cigarette Tube Tank

The Tube Tank holds an incredible 7 ml of e-liquid.

How long does the Lavatube electronic cigarette battery last, and how long does it take to charge?

It takes about six hours to fully charge the battery of the Lavatube electronic cigarette after it has died. For this reason, we strongly recommend adding an extra Lavatube battery to your order before checking out — you won’t want to be without your Lavatube for that long! To find out how much juice remains in the battery, just tap the power button seven times. The screen changes to display a number between 3.3 and 4.2. If the battery of your Lavatube electronic cigarette has reached a charge level of 3.3 volts, it’s time to recharge it.

Even if you use the Lavatube electronic cigarette exclusively at the maximum power level of 6.0 volts, you can generally expect the battery to last through a full day of use, allowing you to charge it while you sleep. The internal electronics of the Lavatube boost the power of the battery, allowing it to attain its maximum power level of 6.0 volts. When the battery has reached a charge level of 3.5 volts, however, you may find that the quantity of vapor starts to drop slightly. This is why an extra battery is so handy; you can change the battery immediately and get right back to maximum vapor production instead of waiting for bedtime. Having an extra battery is also important for getting the maximum battery life possible out of the Lavatube electronic cigarette; you should never remove a lithium ion battery from the charger and use it until the charge cycle is complete. Having an extra battery helps you avoid that temptation.

How big and heavy is the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

The Lavatube electronic cigarette is similar in size to a pocket flashlight. With the battery and without an atomizer or cartomizer attached, the Lavatube is 5″ long, 7/8″ in diameter and weighs 98.3 grams (.216 pounds). While it is certainly larger and heavier than a real cigarette, you can carry it in your pocket without too much trouble if needed.

In what colors can I buy the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

The Lavatube electronic cigarette in black, red and silver.

The Lavatube electronic cigarette is available in three colors: black, silver and red. The red Lavatube is a limited-edition model. If you like it, be sure to get yours quickly before Volcano sells out!

What accessories do I need to get the most out of the Lavatube electronic cigarette?

The Lavatube electronic cigarette does not include e-liquid. Pick up a 30 ml bottle Volcano Tobacco Pure or Menthol Burst e-liquid for $19.99 and you’ll have enough e-liquid to last up to about two weeks. That’s the bare minimum — the Lavatube starter kit includes everything else you need. However, you might consider adding a couple of items to enhance your experience. We strongly recommend getting an extra battery, for example. You might also consider getting the Volcano Tube Tank; it holds up to 7 ml of e-liquid at a time, allowing you to use your Lavatube electronic cigarette for a day or more between refilling it.

What safety features does the Lavatube electronic cigarette have?

Atomizer, Over Current and Short Circuit Protection: If you own many different atomizers and cartomizers, you may occasionally make the mistake of setting the voltage level on the Lavatube electronic cigarette too high for the resistance of the attached atomizer. Operating a low-resistance atomizer at 6 volts could be devastating for both the e-cigarette and the atomizer. For this reason, the Lavatube has the ability to automatically detect the resistance of the attached atomizer and lower the voltage automatically if the atomizer and voltage would produce a current of more than 2.5 amps. Likewise, the Lavatube has the ability to shut itself down if the attached atomizer is damaged and has a short circuit.

Reverse Battery Protection: If you are in a hurry and accidentally install the Lavatube electronic cigarette battery backwards, the Lavatube will cut power automatically to avoid causing damage.

Battery Discharge Protection: A lithium ion battery should never be depleted completely; if this happens, it may never hold a full charge again. To prevent this from happening, the Lavatube electronic cigarette automatically shuts down when the battery’s charge level is too low.

Heat Vent: In extended use, the high drain battery in the Lavatube electronic cigarette may generate a bit of heat. To prevent this heat from becoming trapped inside the body of the Lavatube, the end cap has a small hole to allow the heat to escape.

Power Button: To prevent the Lavatube from activating accidentally and draining the battery while carried in its case or in your pocket, simply hold the power button down for several seconds to shut the Lavatube electronic cigarette off.

Voltage Lock: Don’t want the voltage of the Lavatube electronic cigarette to be changed accidentally? Simply hold both voltage adjustment buttons to lock the current power level in place. Hold the two buttons again to remove the lock.

Volcano Lavatube Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids

Volcano offers an enormous selection of USA-made e-liquids.
