Can I use bottom feeder coils on my vivi nova mini and where can I buy genuine vivi nova coil replacements?

not sure if I am using the right terminology. Is a coil the same as an atomizer head? in any case, my question says it all and I would appreciate any feedback. if I can't use bottom feeders on my mini, could you still tell me where to get genuine heads and which ones are the best. my last batch was not too good.

Thanks

You're close. The atomizer head has a coil in it. Your replacement heads for the mini vivi nova will depend on whether it's an official Vision Mini vivi nova or a knock off. You need an official Vision replacement head for a Vision mini tank. I get my Vision replacement heads at My Vapor Store. I think you can get the knock off heads at other vendors. Someone should step in soon who knows more about that. Good luck!

No, you can't use bottom coiled (or bottom fed) heads in a Mini Nova. The Mini Nova was designed to use only top coil heads. The same is true with any bottom coiled clearomizer tank, they can not use top coil replacement heads either.

The original or the replacement heads include an internal heating coil that is wrapped around silica string wicks. This is true for both top and bottom coil tanks. Top coil tanks can generally be identified by the long string wicks that drop down into the tank. Bottom coil tanks often only show a metal stem in the middle of the tank - the wick and coils are in the stem, you just might not be able to readily see them.

A top coil tank will need to be tilted or "stirred" to keep the long string wicks wet, as they are fighting gravity to wick juice to the coils. A bottom coil tank uses gravity to its advantage, as the wick will stay wet as long as there is some juice in the tank. Top coils give a warmer vape; bottom coils give a cooler vape, due to the slight difference in space the vapor must travel from the coil to a person's mouth.

Here are a couple of vendors that sell Vision Vivi Nova replacement heads:

I also get mine from My Vapor Store Atomizer Head for Vision Vivi Nova Tank They sell the genuine Vision Vivi Nova heads, which I have had the most success with.

Genuine ones on the left, notice the lack of the little metal nipple on the top of the silicone coil cover.

Try Madvapes - Electronic Cigarettes, E Cigarettes, E-Cigs for the vision vivi nova heads. They are a little more expensive but almost always instock and have the 1.8ohm, 2.4ohm (my favorite), and 2.8ohm.
