All good advice has been given here.The only thing that I can add to this is if you are in a place that you cant fiddle with the Vivi,just carry some juice in a small bottle and drip it.A drop or two will give you about 5-6 good solid hits in a pinch

I feel dumb asking this but, where do I drip it?

Rebuildables take time. Here is what I have peeps start with. Someone recommended it earlier in the thread. A good basic carto tank setup. Get a filler syringe and make sure you fill the carto with it. Then fill your tank. Also a XXXL clear carto is fullproof. Links below:

Smoktech 510 3.5ml Dual Coil Tank (DCT)

For standard 3.7Vish mods you want 1.5ohm cartos. For 5V I have used 2ohm cartos. Accessories can be found in the same section.

Also, this XXXL fill and vape carto works very well(need to syringe fill):
510 CLEAR XXXLDual Coil 1.5ohm MEGA SOFT CAP Blank Cartomizers

Irritability I gots that!

lol yeah I got it every other time I quit...I was an irritable little %$@#...I didnt get it hardly at all when I started vaping and I think that I got it at all was because I went with such a low nic level to start. I just didnt want to start binging on nic worse than I would if I was smoking, I wanted to do better than what I was doing with cigarettes. Everybody here says to up your nic to make sure you dont have a hard time adjusting, and I guess if you lack the willpower do what you gotta do. Id rather treat vaping like a segue mechanism to quitting rather than just replacing one habit with another that seems less destructive. Have more sex. Helps.

Are these carto tanks the same as Vape Dudes texas tuff tanks? They were going to send me one "on the house" but I hasn't made it here yet.

Yep. Vape Dudes sell / include punched boge cartomizers with their TTT's and Valley View sells / includes laser drilled with theirs. I prefer the laser drilled and even though they have much smaller holes they seem to wick even better than the large punched holes... this is not saying the punched cartos aren't awesome though!

If you didnt get tracking info, message Jennifer on the Vape Dudes FB page and see if she can get you an update.

If it gurgles it's flooding. I bought some cheap no name clearos whe out of town one time that tasted burnt from the first drag. When using top wick atty's like the vivi novas you need to tilt the tank up and take 4-5 primer puffs without pushing the button. Also keep the tank tilted when vaping. When they get low turn them sideways an swirl the juice to keep the wicks wet.

Same experience here, and it annoyed the heck outta me. Once theyre burnt I cant get a good vape again.

I haven't tried em, but do the bottom feed atomizers still experience this burning trait? I tend to chain vape and suppose its one reason cartos work so well for me, but I like the vapor production of atomizers and thought about giving a BF a try...

i had the same problem with clearos when I first tried them... too bad the iclear30 won't work with your battery because it's the best one I've tried

honestly you're better off just getting some carto's and filling those up while you are low on funds... then don't need to worry about the clearo issues.

then when you get some $ again - get youself a ego-twist (around 20-25$) or a vamo for 40$ .. once you get yourself a decent mod I think you will have a much better time vaping.

I have been in your shoes more than once! When I can't seem to get anything working, a cheap and nearly foolproof mainstay is the cartomizer. Buy a 5 pack of Boge LR cartos, fill patiently and then top off as needed. Good luck, and don't give up!

With money being an issue, I have to agree. Boge LRs put out awesome vapour, also. I think you can pick up a 5-pack for around $10.

Don't give up.

Thank you guys for all the support and tips! I'm still hanging with it.. I ordered some Boge cartos- they shipped yesterday-
I'm also thinking about getting a vamo Vamo Variable Wattage & Voltage
I was going to get the "upgrade" Is it -new- user friendly? and what juice delivery system works the best with a vamo?
I'm trying to sell some things to get me a upgrade, I can't go back to smoking

Unfortunately, she wont return any of my (4) emails and I'm not on facebook anymore. I guess I have annoyed her or something :(

a quitter never wins. a winner never quits. except for tobacco. all that frustration you are feeling, is just that whiny inner child begging you for a cig. god say's it's all right to beat your inner child. chain him/her to a radiator. bust out the wire coat hangers. (for all the Joan Crawford fans.). so the only option to having a less frustrating time is lung cancer? think about how frustrating that is going to be. i think a smart person will come to a common sense conclusion about all this. tobacco is not going to solve any problems.do whatever you have to do to achieve success. real change does not come without pain and suffering.

Thank you, This is a very supportive place, and I'm thankful for all the help I get here. if it wasn't for you guys I probably would have given up.
and I don't know what a pay it forward contest is
