Bizarre problem with Vivi Nova

[flobiwan]

OK, i'll bet i'm the first one to post this particular problem. I LOVE my Vivi Nova EXCEPT for the fact that it's round. I use it with an ego-c Twist VV battery and keep it on it's side so the wick will stay primed but the problem is that sometimes it rolls off my desk, and EVERY SINGLE TIME IT DOES, the button on the battery gets pushed in somehow and crooked so that it doesn't work. The weird thing is that, because of the placement of the button and the width of the vivi nova, i know the button itself is not contacting the floor, but it somehow always gets messed up. Sometimes, i can use a razor blade or paper clip to pop it back out but many times i can't. I have been going through so many batteries over the past year because of this annoying problem.

I'd like to put something on the Vivi Nova threads to "square it up" so that the thing won't have a tendency to roll. Something like washers that are round on the inside and square on the outside.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what do you do about it?

Put a knot in a rubber binder or rubber band (depending on what you call them)
Then put the rubber binder / band around your pv.
The knot should prevent it from rolling off the table.

May not be the prettiest solution, but it will keep your PV from hitting the floor.
Hope this helps a little.

Throw it in a pencil holder so it stays upright. There is so much wicking there, I never have to tip it like you would with a Kanger t2.

I have to tip it from time to time to keep from getting burnt hits, plus i carry it around and i don't want to have to bring a pencil holder with me. The rubber band idea might work. I think i'll try that.
