    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    I was afraid to even try it... But with your help, I think I can do this. Now I kick myself for tossing out about 20 perfectly good heads! DOH! Thanks again Stosh! Update: Stosh gave me awesome advice! I've been vaping for about four hours on my VERY FIRST Vivi-Nova-head rebuild. It works...

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    Thank you Stosh! My K 2.4 Ohm wire is on the the way. I also ordered some 3mm wick (Silica). For other folks who may stumble upon this thread, look at this: Rebuilding a Vivi Nova | VAPE News Magazine Again, Thanks Stosh, and I SWEAR! I will NEVER AGAIN toss out a single-tiny bit of my kit!!!!

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    The 5 pack I ordered from Provape seems to be the real deal. The 10 I ordered from My Freedom Smokes had the "cone" or "nipple" and would not work with the Vivi Nova without much effort.

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    Your suggestion to re-wrap the coils for my Vision Vivi Nova (V-3) has my attention especially now that they are getting harder to find. My sister is a nurse, so getting a syringe needle should be easy peasy. Well, unless she can only get me the used ones... :blink: I assume that I need a + and...

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    I think you are right! I have read a few other posts from other folks elsewhere with the same issue. The replacements I ordered were listed as suitable for the VN3 but they were obviously for the knockoff Vivis. The problem for me now is that all of the 'real" replacement heads are sold out...

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    Aw! Hell!!!! I was afraid of that Stosh! Yes! I threw them out. I went through all but 2 of 10 and tossed them out as DOA. Well, at least I kept the plastic parts and some of the tips. :blush: I found a 5-pack at Provape and ordered it, but I'm worried about what's actually in the foil. I'm not...

    What's the best top coil these days? Still the Viva Nova?

    I'm having problems finding replacement heads for the Vision Vivi Nova V3 tanks. I have two of the 3.5 ml version. I managed to get 2 packs (5 heads per pack), but they all came with a "cone" or "nipple" at the tip that will NOT fit in the Vision Vivi Nova V3 tank. Other options seem to be sold...

    New Provari - Received Today

    That's where I am as well. I have my ProVari and a couple of Ego C-Twists. Luckily, I went from the Egos straight to the ProVari. I managed to save myself from the myriad of Chinese mods. Now, I am hunting for the perfect juice. I know that it is out there somewhere!

    Provari went on it's biggest adventure yet

    The military should encourage vaping. It sure beats covering yourself with a plastic-poncho.

    New Provari - Received Today

    Maybe it is just because of the brand-new AW 18490 bats FOR ME, but I am amazed at the efficiency of the ProVari. The batteries last a looong time and yet still recharge VERY quickly. It provides solid power until it warns you when it is time to recharge. I certainly expect that the batteries...

    "Throart Hit"

    No Prob! I guess it's time to dial back the nicotine in my juice!

    "Throart Hit"

    After 40 years of smoking cigs it was a SHOCKING sensation to feel the "sting" from a vape. My taste buds must have been destroyed. After vaping for six months I guess they are slowly coming back to life.

    "Throart Hit"

    If you look at your keyboard, you will notice that the "R" key is located next to the "T" key. I can't imagine how that could happen...

    "Throart Hit"

    Is that from the nicotine?

    "Throart Hit"

    I have read numerous threads with folks talking about "Throat Hit." I never really understood what that meant. I have never even found a good description of what was supposed to happen during a "throat hit." Is it a kind of "stinging" sensation when taking a vape?

    How do I deal with the Ohms on the Vivi-Novas with the Provari?

    OK! I had heard about the "dry burn" thing but wasn't sure what the deal was. I also tried soaking the heads in alcohol, but after the black gunk builds up it just pointless.

    How do I deal with the Ohms on the Vivi-Novas with the Provari?

    I guess that I am surprised that .4 ohms makes that much of a difference. Thanks for the info!

    How do I deal with the Ohms on the Vivi-Novas with the Provari?

    Unfortunately, I think you are right. I pulled two of of a pack of five that were DOA! Grrr!

    How do I deal with the Ohms on the Vivi-Novas with the Provari?

    I use Vivi Novas on my Provari, just as I did on my C-Twists. However, the old heads were listed at 2.8 ohms with two-long wicks. The newer ones are listed as 2.4 ohms but with more-shorter wicks and a metal "tip" at the top. The older version seems to take a higher voltage and last longer. I...
