I think i ordered the 2nd link. also got the $6.88 VIVI NOVA V-core 2.0 Dual Coil Mods Double Layer Electronic Cigarette Atomizer for Ego at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping.
man i hope they dont fail on me. Once i get it in, ill post back on this thread to see whats up
I seen some on my vapor store. are those tanks worth buying?

Some have had good luck with them but most didn't. When you read about Vivi complaints it usually turns out it's a SmokTech Vivi and not the Vision.
Vivis below come with 3 heads.
Here's the plastic Vision Vivi Nova 3.5 ml
Vision Vivi Nova Tank System - Plastic Tube
And here's the metal version as some "acidic" juices will degrade the plastic:
Vision Vivi Nova Tank System - Metal Tube
Here's the extra heads. Mine are lasting 10+ weeks:
Atomizer Head for Vision Vivi Nova Tank

Please Log In is closed until June 6 BUT they sell the Vision Vivi Nova for $9.00.

I use efest 18650 2000 maH, and I have two Panasonic 18650 2250 maH on order from fasttech.

No problems so far, but I would invest in a decent charger, maybe an intellicharger model, or a Pila IBC. I have a Trustfire and it takes damn near 10-12 hours to charge... drives me crazy!

My trustfire is crap....only one side charging now.....the cord has split away and showing wires on both ends.....I am using a different cord now from a laptop but yes a good charger is a must! I must get one soon! :)

i am awaiting some panasonic NCR18650PD from FT. kind of enthused to check out the 2900mah rating. i've used button tops in my vamo even though it came with 2x flat top 18350s. havent had issues. all i actually own now is button tops for my vamo and provari.

as far as chargers go, nitecore had the i4 which my brother has. the tracks kinda sucked and i had some issues with getting 18350s to contact. ended up having to insert a penny to make it work right. i purchased a black jetstream i4, which is pretty much identical almost save for having bigger cutouts to be able to charge 2x C type batteries. i also found that the tracks are better and i have no issues with 18350s making contact. i definitely like the jetstream version better.

i read some stuff about the two chargers and what i read(not claiming it to be truth) was that jetstream made the chargers for nitecore to brand and sell. some issues arose and jetstream started to sell their charger themselves as their own brand. who knows what the truth is, but i can vouch for the differences/improvements with the jetstream vs the nitecore.

Thanks bro. all very helpful. The tanks i ordered from fast tech are en route. I live in hawaii so itll probably take another week or so to arrive. Have you ordered from myvaporstore.com before? How was the shipping process and quality of the products?

Myvaporstore is where I got my spinner start kit. I've also bought a vivi nova mini metal from there, an EVOD, and some replacement heads. Quality is very good (everything is Vision or Kanger branded and, as far as I can tell, genuine) and shipping to South Texas was super-fast (same day as ordering I was getting shipping notifications)

Only thing from MVS I wouldn't recommend is the juice.

They are a little more expensive than some places online, but they are my go to vendor for hardware.

yeah i've been browsing that site for about two weeks already. Good stuff and shipping is free after reaching $75+
I've been looking at the rdas and rbas. been doin my research and watching all types of videos. Im lookin towards, the mini smok rdas and the AGA-t. Any good? or i was wondering if i should start cheaper and try the IGO-L

I have...more times than I should, more times than my husband will ever know! LOL J/K! Really though..the only time I haven't ordered from them is IF they are out of stock on something I'm wanting really bad...all but the Vamo Kit I just ordered on Sunday from FT. Myvaporstore had the Vamos...but at the price FT was offering them for, I had to order from them. They usually do ship out the same day you order, if you order early enough...they are up North , I'm in the South, usually gets to me in 3 days...I've yet to get any DOA products from them. If I'm not mistaken, their coupon code is 5ecf for 5% off your order. You really can't go wrong getting stuff from them!

Thanks to all who posted in this thread it has been very helpful.

Since I'm getting this kit http://www.fasttech.com/products/1/...vivi-stainless-steel-voltage-adjustable-e-cig with 2 18650 batts and a good charger I feel like i will be set. Since the vamo uses only one 18650 batt and the set comes with 2 of them do i really need additional batts for normal at home usage?

I'm planning to get an 18350 batt from a stateside vendor so I can try the shorter configuration.

You should be all set. FWIW, I hate the short configuration, just doesn't feel right.

Yes i just ordered cartos and some parts from MVS and fasttech at the same time. THeyre still in process for over a week now. Living in hawaii mean you gotta wait extra long for your shipment. Patience is a virtue.

I have had nothing but great service from Trustfire batteries. The ones with a flame on them.
Unfortunately FT doesn't yet stock quality 18350 batts. He only sells 18350 TrustFire and UltraFire and they're terrible batteries. I only owned them as they came with my first PV in the Starter Kit. In regards to batts and chargers avoid anything with the name "Fire" in it.

I keep reading here about never leaving your batteries on the charger unattended. My Trustfire charger takes at least 12 hours, and often 14 hours to charge the batteries so I have a Nitecore ordered. Very glad to read that it'll charge them in a few hours so I can quit worrying about burning the house down while I sleep.

I have 18350 button top ones for my Vamo and these make the bottom cap a little hard to screw on, I ordered flat tops to try. In 18650, I use flat tops with no problems at all.
Which is better.. button top or flat top? I wanted to get ones that will fit my Nemmi clone as well.
