    HC's ViVi Nova Tank vs eGo Clearomizer system

    I've purchased Vivi Novas from Health Cabin and haven't had any issues. I haven't tried the Ego V3. I ordered juice and batteries from Health Cabin a few months ago, and there was no problem with shipping, although it took 3 weeks to get to me. The juice wasn't very good, maybe it's their...

    Trying to find the perfect combo!

    My tastes are similar to the OP. I started at 24 mg 70/30 PG/VG. I have discovered over the last few months, that 24 is way too high for me. I now use 12mg and with some juices even as low as 6mg. I now get at least 50/50 mix, but I cut the strong nic juices I have with equal amounts of VG...

    Gripper Discussion

    I followed this thread religiously when I was trying to figure out what relatively inexpensive VV mod to buy. I first bought a Lavatube, but after sending the 2nd broken one back within 2 weeks, I bought a Gripper. I've only been playing with it for a few hours but so far so good. 510...

    Lambo VV V2 Voltage problem

    The same thing happened to my YJ LT Chrome V2. The fresh battery would show 1 bar and I would only get a few vapes. It also quit showing resistance. It didn't matter what I put on it. I sent it back since it was only day 12. Lasted longer than the first one I sent back, when the threads were...

    My Cotton Yarn, Vision Vivi Nova, rebuild technique

    Do you use the fiberglass sleeve because with so many wraps your coil would touch the sides of the head? I've recoiled mine without the sleeve, but I only do 4 wraps and make sure to center the coil.

    ViVi Nova coil head issue

    I remove that fiber tube when I recoil my heads. I rewick with cheesecloth. If I overfill the first tank or tip it too soon, it will flood, but once the cheesecloth saturates and expands, I don't get any more flooding. I also place a bit of cheesecloth wick over the coil so that the coil...

    Dissatisfied mini nova customer!!

    I have real ones and knockoffs. At least I think one of my Vivi Novas is a knockoff, the black drip tip doesn't separate from the top cap. They all work great though! The problems I have found are usually easily fixable. One would get juice in the drip tip since the seal between the cap and...

    My last New Members thread - but still a newbie at heart

    Definitely not moving out of the house. But I do feel like I am getting to move to the Thanksgiving adult table. I know how to properly use a fork and knife, without someone else having to cut my turkey nor being forced to eat green bean casserole.

    Hobby vs. a means to an end

    Something about finding that great vape on a new piece of hardware or my own rebuilt coil and wick or my DIY juice that satisfies so much more than lighting up a cigarette.

    My last New Members thread - but still a newbie at heart

    Celebrating my last New Members thread reflecting on my experiences to date, hopefully it will help some of those first starting out. I started with Blus a year ago and had my last analog in March. I joined ECF in August, and have never looked back. Some things I've learned in the last 3...

    Best atty head for vivi nova

    I use a 2.8 on my variable voltage devices at 4.2-4.5v, depending on the actual ohms of the stock head. On my Egos, I find 1.8 is still too high. Rebuilt at 1.2-1.4 with cheesecloth wicks vapes great.

    Upgrade time - twist v lavatube thoughts please

    As many have already said, there is a time and place for both. Don't underestimate the quality control issue with the Lavatubes. I got my chrome LT v 2 for <$50 for a kit, but I had to send the first one back because the 510 threads were loose. With my replacement, the center 510 thread...

    rebuilding vivi wick... burnt taste

    You may be using too much wick. After experiencing the burnt, dry hits you describe with my first few rebuilt coils, I wrap my coils around a drill bit and use only enough cheesecloth so I can easily thread it through the coil, much less than I originally thought was needed. The cotton expands...

    Variable Voltage MyGo ver 2.0 LOOSE 510 CONNECTOR !!!!!

    I have the same unit from the same vendor. The 510 connector on the unit is crap, wobbly plus the inside threads are loose. I had to send my first one back. On my replacement, I put an Ego tank cone on it to keep it from wobbling. I got the idea from post #30 in the thread below. There was...

    Can I use my MOD to check resistance on rebuild Nova heads?

    I check my rebuilt coils with a Lavatube. When I had a short, the resistance reading would 9.9, which is the same as when nothing is attached to the device. I find the resistance check on the Lavatube to be a heck of a lot more accurate and more convenient than pulling out my $5 multimeter...

    Lots of half way flavors I don't like

    I have lots of fruit juices that I don't like either. I bought them when I first started and the nic is also too high. I add VG to thin them out and add cream or caramel to sweeten them up. The result is a much smoother, sweeter vape, which is what I find I like.

    Silver lavatube 510

    I had the same issue, the threads were too loose to sit on my chrome Lavatube 2.0. I had to send it back. It seems to be a common problem.

    Need to switch from Blu to something bigger, that won't spoil as fast. Help?

    I also used the Blus for 7 months before upgrading a few months ago. I bought an Ego battery and used leftover Blu cartridges on them. The first 5-10 minutes, they would taste even better than on the Blu battery, but they tasted burnt pretty quickly. I tore one of the Blu cartridges apart and...

    Can I Cut eLiquid w/VG?

    I cut juices with VG regularly. I still have 24 mg and 18 mg juices I ordered a few months ago, whereas I now like to vape 12 mg and below. I cut with plain VG or with VG and sweet cream or caramel flavoring to get that creamy sweet taste I have found I like. The throat hit is reduced and the...

    Is my vv Ω meter off or do I just not know how to read it??

    I have a couple of cheap <$10 multimeters, one of the $5 from Harbor Freight. The lowest ohm setting is 200, so they aren't very accurate. Check youtube for videos on how to check your atomizers, this is how I learned. First hold the two leads tip to tip and see what the resistance of the...
