vivi nova keeps filling with smoke in tank

[NatK]

Hi I just switch from dual coil carto single hole punched to a vivi nova ... the only problem I keep having is that the tank keeps filling up with smoke when I vape .. other than that the flavor is still good...no burnt taste or anything.. but every time I see the tank fill with smoke ...it bugs the heck out of me... does anyone know what's going on with my vivi? I'm also new to it but it just starting doing this after I've purchased it for about a week now

Check the silicon seal/grommet under the lid, directly below the mouthpiece. There is a gap there most likely.

Press the button before you vape and release the button before you stop inhaling.
Vapour is being left in the clearo because your not inhaling it, thats all.

Cheers and welcome to the forum and congrats on vaping.

Hmmm ..I don't seem to see a gap anywhere unless I'm look in the wrong place? Would it be better if I just changed it out for a new one ?

 

[NatK]

I've been doing that but still have the same problem :\

 

[JazzyTech]

If the silicon grommet is in place and the vape is tasty, I'd leave it until it fails personally. I've only seen vapor forming as you described when I forget to install that grommet.

The rubber is pretty snug but still get same prob... hmm Idk what to do sigh ... but thank you for taking the time to reply ... ! I'm so new to vivi that I have no idea how to fix then problem

this is driving me nuts!

If it really bugs you, try this:

Take off the top round part.
Take off the silicone sleeve.
Push the steel washer inside it down towards the battery slightly. 1 mm or 1/32".
Put the sleeve back but push it only so far as to make contact between the steel washer and the center post. The sleeve will be a bit high.
Put the top piece back on.
Vape.

Hope this helps!

Good solution Ryedan! You may need to repeat Ryedan's suggestion whenever you refill.

1) Make sure the FLAT side of the little metal washer inside the silicone sleeve is facing down towards the coil. Also inspect the silicone sleeve for nicks around the top edge where it meets the metal cap.
2) Follow Ryedan's post.
3) change out both the coil head and the sleeve. Make sure it's screwed on tight.
4) It's not smoke, so you don't have to worry about it

If the top grommet that sits under the drip tip has a snug fit the only other place I could imagine vapor sneaking in is if you didn't have the head screwed down tight, other than that a defective tank with a hole in the center air-shaft? If that were the case you'd also be leaking juice everywhere.

I notice your juice level is pretty low and that is when I notice vapor inside my tank too. If you get an aluminum sleeve to replace that clear one you won't see it anymore

 

[NatK]

I didn't refill it cause I wanted to take a pic and show you guys ... and Lol that is a good idea especially since I can't seem to find the prob yet but I do lo e the clear tanks

 

[NatK]

I just tried it! But its still the same . But thank you! I'll keep trying ...maybe I'm doing it wrong

 

[crxess]

No smoke - smoke is BAD - just Vapor. several of my clearo's and a tank do that on occasion. It is just excess Vapor. usually from not releasing the button before stopping inhale.

Nat, if it is giving you a good quality vape, it really doesn't matter. It's not like it's hurting anything. Look at it this way ... you have one of the special ones with the added feature of vapor appearing in the tank. I say enjoy it while it lasts

I know I know I just got some ocd Lol. But that's a great way of putting it though! I just thought it would do something negative to it but if not then that's good

just googled this problem and this helped me so thank you but i have a cheap knockoff but still worked

Do you still hear a sizzle/pop for a second or two after releasing the battery? I have a top coil clearo that is still atomizing juice for about a second after I release the button, and the vapor goes into the tank. It's annoying at worst.

Releasing the battery button shuts down the power supply, but it doesn't immediately "cool" the coil. Juices that really don't need a lot of heat to create vapor are still doing their thing in there.
