Best atty head for vivi nova

[Steve K]

I know everyone has their own likes and dislikes about certain resistance heads for the vivi nova but I did want to see what people say about it,I am currently using the 1.8 and I have a feeling this will be the odd one out of the 3.
Just my guess.

I have tried them all. 2.4 what I have used the most. I started using the 2.8 and started liking it at high volts. 1.8 I just hated!!!

I like the 1.8, but personally my favorite is the one I rebuild with cotton cheesecloth at 1.4 ohm's.

In today's variable voltage world, ohms are not as important. It's the watts that matter and with VV you can adjust the voltage to attain the watts you prefer. This wasn't the case with constant voltage bats and made it necessary to have attys with different resistance.

Maybe I'll give the 1.8 another shot.. But when I tried it out it tasted like burning plastic and almost made me throw up..

Depends on the device. For my 3.7 volt all mechanical mod... around 2.0 ohms is good (so the 1.8 head). OTOH, my VV box mod performs best at high voltage due to the linear voltage regulator (it sheds excess voltage as heat to some extent, so the lower voltage is worse for the unit and battery life).

I just popped a 2.8 on for curiosity and was wondering if I should have untwisted the wicks as they were twisted up a little stock,or maybe they will untwist on their own.

I like the 2.4 at 4.6v or so.

my last order of heads was 1.8, and they all gunked up and burnt out within half the time it took a 2.4.

Depends on the voltage being used. Voltage and Resistance (ohms) combine into watts. Here is a chart and an XL spread sheet to help you calc the wattage.
Volts is to elec. as pressure is to water and air. Resistance is to elec. what volume is to water in air like gallons per hour. Most vaping is done between 4-8 watts but some go higher for TH also atty types and juice seems to effect the wattage needed sometimes IMO.

I prefer the 1.8 with dark liquids at about 3.7, the 2.4 with light liquids at 3.7. The liquid is important, if it's light and almost transparent it'll vape better at low voltages.

I like the 1.8 on my standard ego batteries and the same on my twists. I find the voltage I use depends on the juice I'm vaping. Some say not to use the 1.8 above so many volts, but I have 1 juice, (RY4), that I crank it up to 4.4/4.6 and that is where I like it. Some say it will burn up a 1.8 atty at that voltage, but not my experience as of yet.

Sorry Odd one out but i prefer 2.8 on 650mah joyetech

I use a 2.8 on my variable voltage devices at 4.2-4.5v, depending on the actual ohms of the stock head. On my Egos, I find 1.8 is still too high. Rebuilt at 1.2-1.4 with cheesecloth wicks vapes great.

I've only used the 1.8 ohm heads, and I liked them. But now that I'm measuring them, they're all coming out right at 2.3 ohms.

I'm honestly not sure there's a difference b/t the 1.8 and 2.4 ohm heads other than the markings on the barrel.

But my favorite is the 1.7 ohm kanthal coil I wrapped around SS mesh. I need to do that more often.

I recommend using the 1.8 @ 3.7 volts. From my experience, any higher and I would get dry hits but right at 3.7 has been working perfect for me. If I were you I would take it apart and inspect the head, looking for and signs of burning/melting pieces.
