can the vivi nova die?

[crashhat69]

can the tank itself stop working?

Ummmm..the head could short out, then you get more heads or rebuild them

 

[crashhat69]

so the tank itself will never go out?

The tanks are soft plastic which screws into hard metal (or the metal screws into the plastic, depending on regular size or mini). Eventually the threads in the plastic will erode to the point where they call it a life, but if you're careful to not cross-thread, that life can be very long indeed.

You can also lose or mash the white plastic o-rings and thus cause leaking. I can't find replacement o-rings, but I've been successful in stopping leaks at the base by wrapping with plumber's teflon tape.

Finally, some e-liquid flavors don't play nice with the plastic and can crack and/or dissolve it. You can get metal replacements for the plastic cylinders, but sometimes these don't mate well with the white plastic o-rings. In such cases, teflon tape again comes to the rescue.

In conclusion, the VVN tanks aren't bullet-proof. But they're close.

All my solid metal tanks (no window) for the Vivi's came with extra o-rings, I rarely use the metal unless I am on an acidic flavor, but these tanks are pretty simple units, really nothing to worry about at what they cost and they seem to last, I would consider wearing them out would be up to how the user takes care when screwing them on and off on their duration of life, never ever had a leak

I have no experience with anything other than the "authentic" Vision brand Vivi Nova's in their 3.5ml version, i've heard the copies have all sorts off different problems although

the piece im talking about is the base itself..maybe i shoulda been more clear on that ha
