I'm very sad this morning because I am finishing the last of my Tiramisu.

I'm excited to make another order with a big bottle of that and I'm going to try a few others. Strawberry vanilla cake is one and maybe south criminal. I really can't decide. :)

I love Tiramisu....but I vape more of the Strawberry Vanilla cake than anything!! ...this morning as I type this...I have two tanks filled....and kkep alternating between the two...but find myself reaching for the SVC the most!!

Order 30ML of both the tiramisu, and the SVC and get a free sample of the smooth criminal....problem solved!!

So i still can only get about 1 full day out of a vivi nova coil 2.4. Starts tasting burnt. running it at 4.2v on my provari. any help would be great.

Jesse, I run both the Vivi Nova and the DCT tanks and when I made my first order I explained what I run...they recommended a 70PG 30 VG for me...I also run clearo's on my eGo alot too...and No problem with going through coils or getting a burnt taste. I can see your from my old neck of the woods...I was from Estero....stop in at the world famous cigar bar at Gulf town center...say hi to my buddy Dino and Order a Macallan and Vape away!!

Pretty much all unpacked at the new place and internet up and working...but still cable..electric issue...they blew up my 55" tv! Ugh....

Getting ready to place my second order!! I have Strawberry Vanilla Cake, Tiramisu, and Smooth Criminal now....any MUST have flavors you all would recommend??? I'm a big fan of Coffee flavors and desserts......I know one of them will be Sweet Strawberry for sure...but would love to hear everyone's feedback!

I am forced by my belief in goodwill and strong conscience that Plain Boba Tea is an absolute must try. :)

I'm another fan of the Boba Tea, I really like the plain, and absolutely LOVE the honeydew. Caramel Pear Black Tea is probably my top favorite, with Boba Tea w Honeydew running a very close 2nd. If you like the dessert flavors, Car-mal Mambo is awesome....and I have it steeping right now, but have heard AMAZING things about Sweet Surrender.

And my belief in Ax's belief in goodwill and strong conscience tells me to second that suggestion! It's a really nice, understated juice that's totally addicting!

Thanks for all the great Ideas.....The Caramel Pear Black Tea was already on my radar...and the Boba tea and Car-mal Mambo sound delish!! I think those will be added to more of the SVC, Tiramisu, and sweet strawberry!!

Keep the ideas rolling in!!

Two things about the vivi's. First, once the tank gets to less than 1/2 full you need to either refill them or tip them for a few seconds so the liquid gets to the top. They are not the best at wicking and higher VG liquids (100%) will make it worse. Second, there have been some coils that were wrapped to tightly. I have gone through some like that. What does the Provari read the omhs at?

I have pretty much given up on top coil clearos...too much hassle and no matter what I do I always get a funky taste or burning from them...especially the vivi heads which is a shame because it's a good concept. I have ordered some Kanger T3 bottom coils to try, but I have pretty much resigned myself to using 1.7 ohm mega cartos and the Reo with an atty...reliable and true.

Melon-berry frost is helping get me through the cafe au lait drought I am in, but I am so so so missing my coffee! I can't wait till they reopen so I can order a 60ml.

yeah i have to add what everyone else is saying. i think vivis suck personally. muted flavors and perform poorly once youre through half a tank. im pretty much atomizer only now...even though its more of a hassle to have to drip, the flavor and vapor is pretty much the best overall experience in my opinion.

Totally agree with all of you. The first thing I do with the Vivi heads is rip them apart and build cotton wicks. No more problems - no dry hits, no wicking issues, flavor is about as good as an atty. I have made about 2 dozen so far and it now takes me about 2 minutes to rebuild one. They don't last as long since they cannot be dry burned but for less than $20 I have supplies to rebuild around 300.

TBH, I haven't really had great results with vivi heads, either. The juice always starts to taste funky to me over time regardless of the wattage I set my PV to or the volume in the tank. I think I'm going to rip one apart today and try a 325 SS wick in it.

You can't beat the Vivi Nova for value in on-the-go convenience. My experience has been that no matter what ohm head I use, anything above 3.8v burns the juice. New Kid is onto something, I think it must be a function of the silica wick, and its inability to provide juice quick enough to keep it from burning. I also think that the first half tank, taste wise, is as good as any atty. After that, it goes downhill fast. So I've solved my problem, pretty much. I fill em up to the top, and when the juice starts looking a little too dark or starts tasting meh, I find that I can pour them out into one of those rubber boots from the cartos, and then I drip the remainder of the juice with very little impact on taste. When I have a long road trip to make though, I just have to have multiple tanks of juice with me, for the variety, and the Nova's are cheap to buy, cheap to fix, and if I left one somewhere, it wouldn't break my heart like an RBA.

So could you guys suggest a good tank for me to use.
Dspin is a member who has a LOT of experience with dozens of mods. I had a PM conversation with him yesterday, and his opinion, after trying practically every low and high priced thing out there, swears by the Gryphon. It is an RBA that holds about 1.5ml of juice, and he says the flavor is amazing. Add the fact you can rebuild them for very cheap, and they're titanium which makes them super light, and he has me very tempted. Only place to get them is from a UK member of Vaporwall.com. They're about $90, and I plan on trying one when I get my Caravela.

I only use the 1.8 ohm heads. I notice that the wicking material is thinner than the other two, and I don't think they mute flavors or get gunked up quite as much.

I use pure cotton yarn. I picked it up at the craft store, even Walmart has some. I boiled part of it to get out an impurities and it is working great for me. I just cut off a few inches and off I go. I have heard of folks using cotton balls, gauze, or cheese cloth but it sounds like a lot more work. I got about 200ft of yarn for about $3. At that price I don't care if a waste some.

EDIT: Oh, it it absolutely rocks on the Ahlusion's juices. I get either 50/50 or 70/30 and no problems at all. SVC was the first one I tried with the cotton. Difference was amazing.

I'd like to get my hands on a GP Spheroid if I could ever find one for sale. It looks messy to set up, but I'll bet the vape makes up for it with the right wick. And dang, I was just at the store and forgot to grab cotton balls. I'm pretty excited to try making some cotton wicks out of them.

I want to try one of these but I am over spending lately. Too many toys. I am happy with my Ahlusion's juice, vivi's (have a ton now) and my Phoenix RBA. Pop those on either my kicked Legacy or my ProVari and i'm in Vape Heaven. I wonder where the Gryphon would take me..... *think*
