The Vivi Nova is ok, just mutes the flavor too much and doesnt handle high wattage well.
All this vivi hate...

cant say i hate them either, had one in use daily for almost 2 months. to this day it still doesnt leak if take it out of the box and fill it up. layed it down, hit the floor, been bounced around at work... still puts out plumes of vapor, i just think the taste is really not that great from them, very dull and muted, and many first time people read over and over how exceptional they are and become disillusioned i think, so when they get it its like meh what were they talking about.
fist time i set up an rba then went back to the nova at work i spent almost 2 hours taking it apart, changing heads and playing with it trying to figure out where the flavor went and why the vapor has no taste. until i figured out yea it works but def not near the top for flavor output.

I don't like them at all, and yes, I have the real deal. I'm not wasting my time with anything that kills the flavor as much as vivis do. If I wanted to get something that I could re-build I would invest in a nice ss rba and be done with it. As far as not understanding why some people hate vivis, I don't understand why some people hate carto tanks and I love them. For every hater waiting to hate there is a fanboy waiting to defend with lots of people in the middle shrugging their shoulders.
Well I converted a friend at work just last week. He went to b&m store here and picked up a T2 and some generic mega carto. I tried to get him on carto tanks but he started with a clearo and thinks the carts have a more nasty flavor (he's most likely just not filling them correctly. He asked me what he should order and I showed him some vivi's so he jumped.
He txt me all day yesterday saying how great they were, how easy they are to fill and how they look relatively nice. Of course he had me to tell him to drip a few drops right on brand new coil, trim them wicks a little and let them sit after filling. But my point is...
For $13 you get enough heads to last you at least two months. I agree they mute flavor, but some can't tell. Also it will give you a chance to experiment with rebuilding wicks and wrapping coils and determining your favorite wicking material (to a certain degree). Some may leak but mine never have, throw a cotton or ss wick in one and theyre great on the go. For the price I think they're totally worth it, sdort of a gateway system that leads to rba type stuff. I recommend them to all newbies simply for the ease of use. When you're starting out you dont have much patience, either it works or you run out and buy cigs....my personal opinion.

Pray tell. I have some hemp and wire and going to experiment later. What wick material are you using and anything special about your coils?

I don't like them because they seem to burn my wicks really quickly. It might just be me, but I'm careful to keep the wicks wet.
I have several grommet tanks...guess in time the silica rubber grommets might degrade to the point of leaking but I would bet the juice would evaporate out before that happened.
I tries each version of the Vision Vivi Nova...always had the same issues, dry hits unless I tilted a good bit especially under half a tank. I did find the Drunker tank wish while it uses a similar principle it is a true rebuildable and in 4 tanks hasn't had a dry hit yet. I don't "hate" the Vivi but I think their are better options for me.
I have tried the Nova, have 3 full size, 2 Neptunes, and 2 mini's. I liked the for awhile, and the mini's are stii great, but the full sized ones are just too finicky and inconsistent. No hate here, just tried them and didn't care for them.
I picked up an IBTanked carto tank and some fusions from Ikenvape, and I have to say this is probably the best combo I have come across. I think I have settled on this for at least the foreseeable future.

what is the difference between a tank with a single clearomizer? cartomizer? and a "dual cartomizer" tank? sorry if this sounds weird but i'm only a month into the vaping scene, ive currently got a vivi nova 2ml tank and an ego twist battery, I was looking into a 5ml tank but they all seem to come with a dual cartomizer set up? whats the difference in the vaping experience?
I love em, I just ordered some eLiquid nic in vg base and three more viv nova mini's. They may not be perfect but I am not living a static life, I move around all day. Why would I bother to tell you my troubles? Well, I was using Kanger T2's exclusively for a while. But it started to get on my nerves that liquid was always getting down the coil tube, clearing it was always a nuisance. I only decided to try the Vivi Nova's about a month back. They don't seem to have issues that most clearomizers have, including the Kanger's. I suppose there may be some ultimate atomizer/tank/clearomizer rig out there but many seem too fussy for me to be using. I try to be stealthy, prefer no one know I vape or smoke or what have you. If I use a 450 twist and a mini Vivi Nova, I have a decent stealth PV that can produce some clouds and deliver nicotine.
VVN hate? Must be coming from all those vapers who shells out an additional $5-10 per month for more POC from China just to vape. RBA/RBCs are definitely the way to go.
The newer Novas are completely rebuildable.
The mini Vivi worked fine for me but I didn't like it. Whenever I see someone frustrated with it, I remind them there are other options. I bought it just to try, to get rid of the myth of the thing. I still keep it as an emergency vape, but I'll never like it.
Have you tried buying an aluminum driptip for the T2? To me the T2 vapes FAR better than the Nova, and the flooding is due to air getting in through the drip tip.
A dual tank,may it be a clearomizer or caromizer just means it has too coil heads,you need more power to run them,some say you get more flavour going dual.
I will admit when i first used my novas i wasnt getting great vapour,i actually think its the juice that determined the amount of vapour,i just add a few drops VG to some of my juices and i have a concert type of plume of vapour,im a nova lover.BTW,i find the mini novas are not as well built as the nova 3.5,the orings on the minis are so thin too.

I think the vivi novas were a good place for me to start vaping. They were easy to fill and change the heads. I did not know the flavors were muted because I had not tried any other delivery method. Now that I have tried carto tanks I must say so far I like them better due to the increased flavor. I will still use my novas though as I don't hate them and I never had a problem with leaks.
I love my novas as well, I did have one that leaked from the bottom and that ...... me off but the other 3 I have perform like champs. I have tried a lot of them, T3, T2, the new Iclear, carto tanks etc. and right now I have 3 novas filled and 2 T2's and thats pretty much what I use now. I have yet to get a dry hit off one, however I do set my PV down horizontally most of the time so that could be why.
