OK, I am a happy unit! Got my starter kit on Friday, a luvverly purple set! Maxvaper sent an extra bottle of e-juice, which was really nice -- and some extra replacement coils, I think for the Vivi Nova!
I had no idea what was what at first, so I loaded up the matching purple tank with the cappucino mocha and vaped away - both batteries were fully charged on arrival, which was great. I thought the juice was OK - not great - but I was impressed with the battery length, which was more than 6 hours. There was no leaking and the fill-up was amazingly easy, compared with either dripping (and dripping. and dripping) into the monster Echo 3 ml cartos or using a syringe and feeling like a ...... addict...
I did notice that when the battery was winding down -- the light was showing purplish -- the taste did become a bit harsher. But I'm not positive on that, as it isn't something I've vaped before. I also realized that I was getting a bit ill, because the e-juice is 18mg and I've been at 15 mg for almost two years now. So a bit much for me.
To do a direct comparison, yesterday afternoon I loaded up the Vivi Nova with my ADV, Minnesota Menthol from Vermillion River. It's fantastic on this setup! Really clear, crisp flavor, lots of vapor, just a great experience. I am thrilled to death! The quality of each piece in the kit seems very high. Things aren't finicky, the machining appears precise, and if y'all are to be believed, I'm not gonna have to throw out a tank a week, like I've been doing with Echo cartos all this time!
THANKS for this thread - it is exactly what I needed!
