I'm new to vaping and am currently on an ego twist with vivi nova tanks. I'm fairly happy with the setup but would like something that looks nicer and better performance would be nice too. I'm thinking about a Provari, of course. I would rather have something variable wattage but the Darwin is impossible to find and the Zmax seems likely to have the same PWM problems as the vmax. Is the Provari the best thing out there? I don't mind doing a little math and checking resistance when I switch heads on vivi nova but voltage stability seems to be key.

Regarding atomizers, I'm wondering if a genesis style or carto tank would work better. What are the advantages? Most reviews I see of carto tanks seem to complain of one or more of gurgling, dry hits, leakage. I'm not getting any of those with the vivi nova so I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing. Why would one choose a carto tank over a vivi nova. The genesis style tanks seem really appealing but I'm not clear on if there are major advantages other than nerding out on building my own atomizer.

Sorry if this seems a little rambly. New to things and trying to come up to speed.

The vivi nova is pretty much the newest thing out and works great. The cleaning is easier and with replaceable heads is just better. I have the DCT too but hardly ever use it now, the draw is very airy and it makes a noise which I hate. I can buy new heads as cheap as cartos and don't have to throw them away. The really high priced stuff is nice but for others.

It's really interesting how the different delivery systems affect the vape. To me, the juice flavor is a bit stronger in a cartomizer and in the cartomizers I use, the "smoke" is more realistic/finer than I get with the vivi or stardust. Various cartomizers have different draws. I don't particularly care for the airy draw of a boge, but the flavor is still stronger than from the vivi or stardust clearos.

The Kick is an affordable VW device the Zmax is just released but its yet to be proven weather its reliable or not as the Vmax has a shaky record. Texas select Vapor is releasing the Stallion a VW mod that uses a DNA chip same makers as the Darwin and kick, No date as of yet but Im thinking fairly quickly.
Vapor Beast is releasing the Vario so there will be 3 VW mods in the next couple of months that are a lot better priced than the Darwin.

Here's a vote for the kick(by evolve) on a mechanical device topped with a rebuildable stardust 2.8ohm
head with 1mm. cotton wicking slipped in where the silica used to be. Puff Puff Fog.

Don't know if it's better than a vivi but it serves me well.

thats all that matters, i run several set ups that are each unique in the way they vape and the feel they have/give. vivi nova's, tank cartos, drip setups. as long as it satisfies it work well in my book. but im also old school started vaping in the era of pre-filled carts and blue foam mods and ptb mods. so anything is better then the olden days of vaping.

AMEN and HALLELUJAH!

I do still love to drip, and cartos just do something to my vape that I absolutely love, very satisfying.

I have the vivinova and the smoke tech screw tank. call me crazy but il take the screw tank every day over the vivi, the nova is actually sitting in my drawer right now collecting dust. I vape alot of fire and ice so theres alittle cinnamon in there that could crack the vivis tank. I then put on a red steel tube and not being able to see the juice drives me nuts, not to mention there was too much gurgling,juice in mouth and leaking, the screw tanks tube is not made of "crackable " glass and the a atty heads are just as replacable as the vivis. The only problem i had with my screw tank was dry burns at first but was quickly fixed when i cut down the wicks and under a millimeter off the little condom that sits ontop of the atty.. been using it for 3 days no with no leaks, slight gurgling but absolutely no juice in my mouth.
