    Exclamation Newbie from Texas

    So I'm the new guy here - Im Tyler and I live in the N Dallas area. I started to vape to remove my ties to typical tobacco. I smoked and dipped for a number of years and now I am tobacco free. I started on an ego-t went to stardust tips then got a pass thru battery with a tank. Over the weekend I decided to step it up and went with a Smok - Vmax paired with a Vivi Nova. So far I am liking it but notice the Vivi Nova has issues staying wicked. If anyone has any insight please let me know how I can improve this.

    Thanks in Advance!

    I have noticed that tilting is about the only option thus far.

    Hi and welcome to ECF and congrats.
    So far I am liking it but notice the Vivi Nova has issues staying wicked. If anyone has any insight please let me know how I can improve this.
    If you bought the older version short wick that was an issue that was resolved with the newer long wick ViVi Nova. If you have the short wick they must be tilted occasionally to saturate the wick.

    Top coils like the Nova are pretty simple really. Juice has to get to the wick before the wick can wick juice. So you gotta dip the wick.

    Frequent tilting and swirling to keep the wicks wet is required for the Vivi Nova. If you do, you'll never have a dry, bad hit!

    A lot of people also say that fluffing the long wick helps as well. You simply use a pin or needle and undo the twist in the wick.
