Alternative to Vivi Nova?

[blueorchid]

I've been vaping with Vivi Nova tanks on my ego twist and spinner for some time now but really need a new option. My tanks are constantly leaking and I need another solution. I'm leaning towards the Kanger EVODs but would like other opinions. Which tanks are less likely to leak? If that's even possible! Thanks!

Hi !

I love vivi novas; I use the mini ones and must have vaped half a litre of e-liquid in them without leaks of any sort. Occasionally, I pull out the plastic drip tip and spin a bit of tissue paper in there to soak up condensation-juice, but otherwise, that's it.

I also have evods, and an iclear16 and also a totally wicked dual coil (RCS K3) 1.5 ohm clearo

Evods are generally not too bad, they gurgle when low on juice and can be a PITA if you re-build them with thin wick.
There is a new Kanger (T3S) which seems to be finding some friends. Also, there is a mini Protank, which I am very keen to try, but I don't need to "up" the clearo count to a dozen in all honesty.

I have enjoyed the Totally Wicked clearo....it makes thick and tasty vapour, I thought I might regret buying it, but no.
The iClear16 sometimes throws out a little juice, but not very often.

T3s are a disaster for leaks. Mini novas seems more reliable than the full sized ones. Most of these clearos don't like being shaken about too much.

I'd get 2 evods and see what you think. I prefer the vape on a Nova...don't know why.

I have EVOD for about month and it doesn't leak. But it's bottom coil clearomizer and vapour is colder than Vivi Nova's

Thanks for the responses. I like the idea of refilling from the bottom and as long as the throat is is comparable to the vivi, I think it would work. Especially if it leaks less often. I really dunno what's going on, bc this tank I'm using now was fresh out of the box and I've only using it for like a week. Mind you, it's not the first to leak..only the first straight out of the box. Have a good day.

The problem with vivi nova tanks is they are not necessarily genuine Vision products. Vivi nova has become such a generic name that there are an untold number of knock-offs with quality all over the map. Read THIS.

Try the iClear 30, it's the closest thing to the Vivi Nova. It's a double coil, will give out much more vapor than the vivi. As long as I know they leak little and vape great.

I was also wondering if you are using Vision vivi novas?

In the last 3 months I have had one leaking problem. After changing the head it no longer leaked. There is no guarantee the the genuine product won't leak but it seems like the vast majority of complaints are coming from the knockoffs.
I also use evods with absolutely no problems so far. I do find that the flavor in the evod is a bit muted compared to the top coil of a viva nova. With the evods I have to raise the voltage a bit higher for a satisfactory flavor.

I have two evods and zero issues just keep fluid topped off. My only complaint is the capacity only 1.5. I just purchased the new Bision victory 4.5ml bcc hoping this is a solid clearomizer and was cheap ~10 usd.

Vision. Dang autocorrect.

I'm on an Evod now; have been for the past 2 weeks. It's pretty good, no leaking at all. I noticed that I can't use 100% VG juices though. Even tried removing the top wick....it worked but for some reason was getting no flavor. They're good though, I would recommend. Only annoyance I guess is that sometimes the draw becomes very stiff, like trying to suck through a straw that's clogged. Then it suddenly opens up...not sure what's going on there but it doesn't last too long. I actually just ordered a vivi nova mini 2.5 to check it out. Hope mine doesn't leak lol

Learned this the hard way by purchasing a couple across the pond...no leaks but OMG, that dreaded plastic burn flavor!
