Been using this system for as long as I can remember with dual coil replacement heads. I use it with my provari. Haven't upgraded since I went to vivi nova from fluxomizers.

seems there's been a newer system announced every week since, but too many to try them all. I'm pretty happy with this system but wondering if any of the new ones are like so much better than this that I should try it. Is there anything new that makes vaping much improved over vivi nova that anyone else has tried?

thanks

Seems all the reviews for the nautills say the glass breaks real easy, I've used the same plastic one on my vivi nova for about a year an a half. Quite a bit of money for something that breaks easy if you drop it....

And the reviews for the aero tank says it leaks after a while?

Where's the improvements?

I never used a bottom coil.

I've always preferred bottom coil to top coil, and I find there to be a pretty tremendous difference between the two. For me, flavor is the most important aspect of a vape, followed by the vapor production. I've found both to be superior on the bottom coil devices I've used. That being said, I did try the Vivi Nova quite a while back and didn't care for it, so we might have very different tastes.

I used to recommend the Kanger tanks (Aerotank varieties), but ever since I tried the Joyetech Delta 23, I've been replacing all of the tanks in my collection with them. I can run them at higher wattage settings without any burnt taste, and the flavor and vapor production beats the Kanger and Aspire tanks, in my opinion. My favorite aspect is the lifespan of the coils; I'm still on the pre-installed head in all of my tanks, one of which has been filled with my most head-destroying juice (a dark grape) for weeks without a big change in performance.

The Delta seems a little more sturdy to me than the Kanger tanks or the Nautilus, although it weighs a lot less. I broke the glass on the Nautilus (totally my fault - replaced it with a stainless tank), and cracked the glass on my Aerotank Turbo when I tried to disassemble it for cleaning (didn't feel like my fault, but might have been). I've never had a problem with leaking on any of them, even after extended use, save the flooding that can occur with altitude changes.

Just my 2 cents. :)

At the end of the day if your happy why change, I have some Vivi Novas and they work fine although I use them less often as I usually drip I find them handy sometimes and haven't looked at the other cleoros cos I don't need to. If you need to replace them then you can try something else if you want but vaping is such a personal thing that no one will every agree on what is best but we can all find what is best for us.

Better than the Vivi Nova is subjective. I have a Kayfun I use with an iPV, which is a nice setup, but I still use my Novas most of the time. I rebuild them too, though that's still an ongoing exercise in experimentation. I need to find some way to make replacement insulator sleeves or clean them. But for me, there's no reason to try anything else. I'm not a cloud chaser, and the Novas give me good flavor. But that's with the juice that I vape. I vape almost entirely DIY juice, at 60% VG, on a mech, using the Nova. How well they work with your juice, and your wattage? Well, in the end, that's your call, and something else might well work better for you.

I tried the Aspire BDC, and it doesn't work for me. You might find it's just the ticket for you.

I'm glad you asked, because I've been contemplating this for a while myself. While I doubt anything will ever replace my beloved Stardusts for upside down vaping, I've been looking to replace my aspire glassomizers. So, hope you don't mind my jumping in, but I've got a question about the Nautilus. Basically, is there a performance difference between the Nautilus and the Mini? And is there any reason at all to try the BDCs rather than the BVCs? And since the reason I'm replacing the glassomizers is because I drop them, does switching to the stainless tanks affect performance compared to the glass?

Well, the Stainless tanks make them more durable and as far as I can tell it doesn't affect the taste of performance at all. I would go with the BVC as those are considered the upgrade heads and do seem to perform better.. I have not really seen any difference between the Nautilus and the Mini at all other then one is bigger than the other.
