Just got my Vivi Nova in the post. Filled with juice screwed on to lavatube chrome v2 and no draw. Is ok off the lavatube but impossible when seated. Any ideas or similar issues?

It happens to mines as well. You may need to clean the 510 connector on your LT to clear any juice built up inside
If its working fine on your other pvs than I would also suggest a 510 to 510 adapter. It sounds like its sitting to far down on the connector and shutting off your airflow. I have had some pvs that only vaped with an adapter.
Yes that's what i thought at first, but if i screw down the Vivi until the airflow stops the air holes in the stem are still visible. Unless some of the draw is through the bottom hole. I may try and flatten some of the threads and see if that makes any difference.
If you are using one of the new stainless or chrome body lava tubes with the spring loaded center post connector, then I know the problem. The center post on you lavatube is seating itself up inside the Vivi Nova connector and blocking air flow from both the bottom and the side vent holes. I had the same problem. Any 510 to 510 adapter will solve the problem.
A 510 to 510 adapter (what I have on mine atm) or eGo Short Cone Adapter for 3ml Tanks

sold out here but it is what I plan on ordering when I find one on another site.
If you are wanting to use it now get some paper and fold it a few times and stick it underneath so it gaps it up a little so you can actually use it till you get an adapter.

Thanks for the advice from everybody. It does seem that the centre post is blocking the air flow. I have used a small plastic washer under the tank which works perfectly until i order an adapter. When i work out how to add photos I'll put one up.
I hope I have sussed out how to attach a photo. This is the small plastic plumbing washer I have used to hold the centre post off the vivi air hole. Seems to work well at the moment until I order an adapter.
I'm vaping it at about 5 volts which seems quite high so I don't know if the connection is not as good as it should be or whether it is the juice. I won't really be able to tell until I run some of my standard juices through it. At the moment it is filled with Grizwalds 666 which I have never used before.

I just order this adapter http://www.smoktek.com/eGo-DCT-Cone-for-35ml-SmokTank--Type-D_p_196.html and I believe this is the right one and will let you know once I received it.
I'm using the 3.5ml dct cone like jjdemu suggested. It takes care of the issue on my V-tube.
I do hope you get it worked out, as I know I really like how my vivi nova works the flavor and the vapor I get with it even with the 3.7 is just awesome
I agree with NancyR, the Vivi Nova 2 rocks! I had the same issue with my VTube SS and the only 510 - 510 adapter I had was a 1" extension, but it worked fine. Had ordered a sealed short 510 - 510 adapter (mostly to keep juice out of the switch when dripping) & it works great. I'd been spoiled to the superior flavor of dripping but with the Vivi Novas I have something fiddle-free & good enough to (mostly) use when away from my desk for hours at a time. They're no match for a good dripping atty but they're as close as I've come so far. 
Great idea on the washer... worked for my friend today... he had the same problem... thanks
+1 for the 3.5ml DCT cone. I bought two for my two SS LT (mini and full size) and fixed the problem right up.
Capreppy, jjdemu et al, how does that plinth work? Is it threaded inside and out or does it just sit on top and held in place by the tank. My lv is the one with the tapered top does it still fit for that one? Thanks for all your advice so far.
I just got mine in the mail today and same thing happened with my SS LT and the vivi nova today too. I just posted a thread about it a few minutes ago. I put a ego thread cover on it and it works good now. A 510 shorty adapter would work too.
The adapter has screw threads on the inside that screws on the ego threads on the Lava tube. Once you screw it on you do not have to unscrew it unless you use an ego accessory.
