    Orion V2 roll call

    Mine wicked up pretty good too but I contribute it mostly to beginners luck. The wicks there after have tested me to no end. Also, I'm a pretty mechanical dude and grasp stuff fast/easy but is there any mesh finer than 400x400 out there? Ordered the #400 form the mesh co. and you know how...

    Are the Vivi Novas loud?

    Okay, Maybe I should NOT admit this but.....I vape in church sometimes cus we do two services (I run the sound board) and it gets long. I sometimes take my StarDust AKA Vision eGos because they are super quiet. My new ViVi Nova (had to rebuild them by the way-stock form was not great) are the...

    Oh Briar how I wish I had your luck. I had just the opposite with mine. Though I can mod, re-wick mine, I actually bought this for the wife because I am trying to get here to "rebuildable status" and figured this would be a good first step. I never even mentioned they were for her because If I...

    Okay folks. MY verdict is in. Now I'm no scientist, just a DIY goofer offer. But I can say for almost certainty that the two grommets are made from a different material. Why they did not just use a carto grommet in the first place I have no Idea. First photo is just the head I made this...

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

    OK, Here is the picture of the Stock Grommet on the Right and the carto grommet on the left. The original grommet was NOT fired at ALL by me. The little mark seen in the photo was from the FACTORY TEST FIRE ONLY. If the test fire does that, imagine what actually using it does. I have not...

    I Personally say everyone chip in a buck or two for this mans super bad luck and buy him another. Sound crazy? Maybe. I'll be the first one. If all the regular people, and stalkers alike, drop a buck or two this fellow will be set, and everyone will be glad they helped out a fellow zen.

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

    It was a V4L 808 carto brand new as I don't even have 808 stuff anymore. I can post pictures later. I've been vaping it all day to see after diss-assembly how it looks compared to the "original" rubber. I can say for sure there is a difference because I got the nasty taste QUICK on the stock...

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

    For what its worth, I gutted an old carto and removed the bottom seal from it and replaced the one on the ViVi head with that. It was a grey color, not brown and so far it seems to be holding up a lot better. I only got about 3 hits from the original one before the "burnt rubber" was covering...

    Oh snap, That sucks for sure. Its not bad enough you spent the time to rebuild it, then the tank craps out. I've personally never had juice do that to a tank. Not sure what high octane juice you folks are using but it sure knocks the cocks off mine.

    I re-wicked with fiberglass (not a fan of fiberglass mind you) wick this evening and it seems to me that made as much difference as anything. There is no doubt the grommet needs improved though. The taste however was vastly improved. Went from non-vapable, to usable.

    You are correct. The thicker with wire, the lower the resistance. I think you were both saying the same thing. Just worded different. Or maybe I read it wrong??

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

    Thanks folks for all the informative info you have posted. Has anyone tried burning the wick with a lighter/torch prior to actually using one of these to see if that helps? Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I've not even took mine out of the package yet. Waiting on you folks to come...

    Orion V2 roll call

    Agree, I am getting a Z-Atty, and I may wind up with a Zen mini before its all said and done. I'm not knocking it. But generally speaking, I don't like bottom buttons at all. Figure if I get one, and don't like it I will have no trouble selling it. I bored out my mouthpiece hole and air hole...

    Apollo Stainless Steel vTube Review!

    There were some folks that were buying the "short" 510/510 adapter to use the Stardust/Vision eGos's with their new VTube. Can someone post a picture of this? I have the 510/eGo adapter and wanted to see the difference with the shortie adapter. Thanks

    News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube - Part 2

    I'm not sure if the folks at Apollo are going to send replacement tops or tubes? Seems tops would be a much better option to me. My top is for sure Stainless, but it will not budge and the 510 threading is jacked up. Been using it with a 510/510 adapter.
