    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    Oh, Sev, you are undoubtedly right. The only thing is: the price is driving my decision - see, the rubbing alcohol I already have, and the vodka I don't. And I'm broke, and those coils need to be cleaned. :D Thus my original question. I think I'll soak them in alcohol, but I'll rinse them...

    Shipping Has Commenced From The Land Of Sugar....SUPER FAST SHIPPING (& freaking candy!)

    I got both of my orders in two days - from Texas to NY. I have no idea how that happens, but I am not complaining! :D

    Pet pics (Come here to see the Mastiff!)

    Really nice pictures, guys. :) Me, I'm kinda sad today... Took my Myst out for her morning constitutional, and her hind right leg was really acting weird. Her whole hind end got so weak she is getting to be afraid of the three steps to the porch... This paralysis thing is slowly creeping...

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    Oh, how I'd love to try these... They sound sooooo good. But I'm way broke. And, besides, they would all just taste like FISH to me!!! :cry:

    Reviewing and Taste Buds

    More like quantum mechanics inexplicably manifesting in the macro world... :glare: Yeah... I usually try to vape something for a week at least before I review it... You just never know. At least this way it averages out, mostly, I hope. LOL Yes, it does at that. Aha. The worst. My...

    Tidy happenings

    Hey, Teach, The circuitry on the iTaste might be iffy - I saw a reviewer having problems with it reading consistently and correctly... They may need to work on that. I had problems getting the ViVi, the Tidy, and the Fluxo firing on the iTaste - I have to jiggle and wiggle and tighten down or...

    Vivi Nova v2.5 tank with SI's X2 808 Battery

    Yes, you will need an 808 to 510 adapter to use the ViVi.

    Reviewing and Taste Buds

    I hope this is not too terribly off-topic here, but this is addressed specifically to reviewers, so this seemed like the place... I know all of you guys spend a lot of time testing different juices, which, perforce, involves a lot of vaping and comparing and taking a hit here and there to...

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    Well, learned something new about the vivi today. Two things, really: 1. If you are using a dark syrupy juice, it's definitely worthwhile to change the head in-between refills. It's real easy, after all. As it was, on my second fill of this really great dark RY4, it started tasting burnt...

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    The initial ones are, that I believe. The first run, when the base wasn't so tight into the tube (you could actually take it apart by hand), didn't have those cracks, if I recall correctly. Why they tightened those tubes and caused those cracks, I'll never know. But I suspect that the cleaner...

    Yeah, I think short wicks work better all the way around, as long as one doesn't mind tilting. I was thinking of trying it with the Fluxos as well. :) I couldn't get the center tube off for some reason. Maybe mine is tighter than normal - but someone did the pics, so I saw what's in there...

    Tidy happenings

    Thanks, Teach. I wish I had some of those rings left... Oh, well. BTW, I noticed that the 510 adapter on the iTaste can be a bit problematic. It tightens the draw on everything. And despite the movable center post, you have to tighten stuff to kingdom come to made contact. The second...

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    As usual: I may be wrong. :D But I'm also paranoid, and I can't afford to buy more Stardusts right now, so I'm catering to my paranoia.

    You can't really see the juice in there, if it's in there - too dark. I even tried a flashlight. Too much wick, not enough light. Anyway, you may be right though. Because if I were right, if you turned this pup close to upside-down, the juice would just leak out. I tried it. It doesn't...

    You have to have a tight seal for the vacuum theory to work though. This is not sealed at all. It's not a glass, it's tube open to air with holes in the bottom. The liquid should pour right in, unless the wicks stuff the entire volume of the tube, or fill the holes.

    Virgin Vapor Creme Carmel with ecopure extra extra strong flavor

    All VV juices - well, most of them - have a peculiar "side-taste". I some juices it blends in and actually compliments the flavor, like the ECO Virgin Kona Velvet Milkshake, which is great. Regular Kona Mikshake I like as well. But others are just kinda weird to me. The Cream Caramel is as...

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    With just water? I'd like to find a use for my ultrasonic cleaner... I'm pretty convinced that it worsens the cracks in the Stardusts, so I haven't been using it.

    Tidy happenings

    Yeah, my last idea was to toss the plug that comes with it, and replace it with a plug from the old Fluxo - but the middle hole is too big. We could stick the ring from the Fluxo on top of the plug, sure, but then we are just back to the original configuaration: solid mouthpiece on top of the...

    You may be right - there is no way to tell for sure that I'm aware of... But I don't see that the holes on the bottom are blocked by the wick - not even close. And, furthermore, just about everyone has been pouring the juice into the tube anyways... I haven't, but I tilt heavily. How do we...
