Best way to change juice in a vivi nova

[Deep Blue Witch]

Wondering how to change flavours in the nova. Do you vape until it's empty, and then put different flavour in, do you wash it out under the tap, or do you have dozens of tanks? Thus far I have just refilled with a different flavour!

I fill it till 2.8 ml mark, vape it till i have to tilt or swirl it for every vape, then just open it, if i like the juice very much i syphon it back with a syringe (around 0.2-0.5 ml will be left). disconnect the head wash it under a tap tehn dap the silica wick making sure i don't pull. do a dry burn and voila.... its ready for the next batch.

Now, i don't know if its correct to wash it again and again, but then its my way. Open to suggestions people

Vaping rocks

I just run it under the tap and it works great.

I dump the old out and pour the new in. It only takes a couple of hits for the new flavor to take over.

I wash everything and let it air dry overnight. But I have other devices I vape on in the meantime. If you only have the one, you can vape it immediately after washing and refilling/

A dry burn is especially helpful in restoring the coil. Whether you use thick or thin ejuice just the fact that the juice is heated in order to become vapor leaves residue on that coil. A dry burn is a must to maintain the taste . Some folks disregard the possibility of reusing the coil head and just throw them away when they perceive the change in taste. I call that wasteful.

Doesn't a dry burn damage the coil?

Do short little bursts to it and it won't damage it. You will see brown smoke - burning gunk built up on the coil. When you can see the coil burning red again it is clean - just like new. I clean coils on everything this way. Vivi, ego attys RBA's - get a lot of life out of them.

No, not at all if it's done correctly. Short bursts from the battery until you can see all the coils glow orange (not red) will burn the gunk off the coil. My procedure is wash the wick in warm water, do a dry burn, drop the head in some vodka to be sure all the gunk is gone, dry the wicks again and pop them onto the tank. All this is assuming that you are using replaceable coil tanks or clearos.

Interesting, thanks. I'm getting some mini novas and their larger counter parts.
Will have to give that a go then

I don't even soak mine in alcohol, just wash the whole thing, dry burn, rinse the head again, dry and fill. My heads last 4/6 weeks and have never popped a coil.

 

[Deep Blue Witch]

Yep, use them myself Sirchunk, they are very good, no hassle!

I normally soak in warm water for couple of minutes.drying using tissue, dry burn and re-filled.

I agree with using vodka as a cleaning agent. It acts as a solvent for some crud that water doesn't seem to work on. And its easier/cleaner to dry.

i've cleaned mine probably 10 times trying different flavors since friday...

all i do is take it all apart and rinse each part under warm water in the sink. dry everything off with a paper towel. fold the paper towel in half and squeeze each side of the wick between my fingers in a few different places so i don't pull to either side. put the head and tank onto the post. do a dry burn till the coil lights up orange pretty much all across (not too long) while slowly blowing on it. put a drop of the new liquid on the coil and fill the tank to however much you wanna put in there. put rubber grommet on and screw on the cap and vape away. it takes a couple of hits to burn off the water in the middle of of the wick but you don't taste the old flavor and the vapor production and new flavor will start coming through quickly. the whole process takes 5 minutes at most.
