    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    WindLvr is on the ball . Thank U very much for you words of experience, I was going to try those to see if they would suffice. I would imagine the semiclear silicone has better high temp safety than the stock labgrown :blink: rubbery tire tasting ones. jralabate Fueled it an hour ago @ 2.72...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    As far as perfect proportions go, I owe some of that to my new experimental "ceramic holy grail head" mod. The reason for giving the ceramic credit, is that the walls of the ceramic are non conductive. I also twist the wire on the coat hanger like a spring going as tight as it will go, so the...

    DUD builds

    Note to 10ml syringe owners wanting to make a tank. Not all brands fit to make a tank, such as mine: Some consolation may be found (to some) in the fact that the ones above can serve nicely as a drill guide for those whom do not have a drill press, & attempt to drill extra air intake holes...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    gdeal, I hope to gain experience (only been vaping about a month) on flooding the down tube by matching wick & slot, I figured that was part off my constant flooding problem. I always use a sealed 510 adapter, like this to keep fuel off my battery. I also make sure to blow into the vivi to...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    Cool_Breeze I ran it ultrasonically for around 10 minutes with hot tap water. It came out still blackish & carbonized looking from a from a distance But the close up image(same as the one in my previous post) & a hand magnifier told me recarbonize & VG burn that mesh to be safe. Sadly...

    Your vivi nova experience

    I can not answer your question, but I do question the wire in the original heads(@ least the ones I got). WARNING: do not inhale the first few hits. The image above of a never installed stock ViVi coil/wick, does not do justice to the 80% gold hued mystery substance that coats the wire, of...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    Foxman BJ43 seems to = a treasure trove of knowledge, like many here. I had seen the idea floating around, but your endeavors with it actually inspired me to buy it & you can take credit for that ;) The added air increases cloud mass & volume. "lego cotton cure" by TomCatt, added to my...

    Foxman I dig that huge CFM Cadillac block air chamber, let me dream for a minute... Shazam! dreams can come true :glare: Thanks for the inspiration :blush: That Atom thing-amabob increases combustion noticeably instantaneously, with my air direct under wick placement mod. "AIR" + fuel +...

    I like your line of thought :tongue: I have very little electrical knowledge, but I figure if it was possible, madvapes would take advantage by boastfully stating so. Sadly they just state: "There is also an extra PWR+ connection on the bottom of the board which may be useful." My guess is...

    BJ43 thanks for that excellent tip. When I saw the hole spacing that provides the long leg, I thought "hmmm the griffin must of had polio as a child, like my godfather". I find so far (about a tank & a half) it performs less like a "griffin beast of lore" & more like: in that it commercially...

    Very impressive TomCatt, You can hear that engine eat juice slurrrrrrping like the big block SRT chambers should :2cool: I just received a griffin Not of one these One of these. It vapes OK rewicked[stock wick was sad :facepalm:] , for a small air block/chamber. Back to...

    I was in a rush this morning :( & now derpily, remember that the internals/crimps & not the grommets are the Germanuim. I can resource sterling ones from riogrande.com. I chose the germanium over sterling because I figured Germanium was safer due to health nuts eating it & it still maybe? I need...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    gdeal Thanks for making me reread about Germanium. I now say use @ your/my own risk, & I am going to try to source some sterling grommets. Back to germanium, I originally read that germanium is used in some dietary supplements, so I bought them. After your inspiration to reread about it, it...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    I have only been vaping about a month & only have experience with bauway CE4, Novas & SRTs. With that said, It vapes clouds over the rest of my line up. I have a griffin/DID clone in shipment & do not expect its small size to out preform it(unmodded anyway). I can even vape upside down laying on...

    Is PG different thickness from different vendors?

    I think it is most likely just fresher. It seems according to the humidor link I posted that: If the air PG is exposed to is: above 70% humidity = PG absorbs water from the air & air below 70% causes it put water back into the air. I fear & suspect that when it gives the water back to the...

    Phoenix issues, odd issues

    Without the side magnifier, it has a decent viewing area that magnifies not too much / not too little, for me anyway. Too much Xs & I have to wait along time for my eyes to readjust. With the power of these, I can recover quickly. The price was right & my eyes need some assistance:2cool:

    E-LIQUIDS, SUGAR & TEETH...(need info)

    As this nearly toothless old coot comprehends it, a constant dry mouth (from any cause) leads higher percentages of tooth/gum damaging organisms dominating the good bad organism balance of ones saliva, more than a normally salivated mouth. Dry mouth is a side effect of vaping PG. (not sure about...

    TomCatt, I have only used bauway CE4s, ViVi Novas, Smoke SRT ViVis & have been vaping only a month. That said, I do not use the silicone cup caps on the CE4s & Novas. I keep My modded SRTs upright out of habit, as well :blush: Here is one of my SRTs. WARNING: Old coot :vapor: with a new hobby...

    Is PG different thickness from different vendors?

    I am new to DIY & have only handled PG from one source. That said, PG does absorb water from the air. Cigar humidors keepers often use it as a humectant. Maybe the thicker stuff is a fresher batch &/or was keep away from moist humid air better while stored. Here is a cigar humidor page that...

    MikeE3 You seem to have exposed another factor of :evil: gdeal I think the spiral draping could possibly reduce backwash eliquid pollution to some degree, by the naturally awesome scientific looks of it ;)
