This doesn't make sense to me either. There's already an air tight seal from the rubber cylinder with the little brass ring in it that attaches above the coil and meets the underside of the silver cap that caps off the tank. The air shaft hole can't be made any smaller than that. The tip has an o ring, so there should be no airness.


Someone said the 'easter egg' is used for dripping, so it doesn't spit it back in your mouth or something.

I think it's a way for Vivi to narrow down the air flow for a more condensed stream of vapor while still retaining the large opening if one wants to drip. IOW, adding the little rubber peice is cheaper than manufacturing the inside of the drip tip to be tapered and curved, so they just cut it straight and add the 'egg' for a more condensed stream of vapor.

My vivi's fine. I only was concerned because I absolutely hate these gigantic hard plastic drip tips on everything and this thread was linked from another about what rubber tips can be used for the Vivi. I changed the tip to a tiny rubber one for a small CE2 clearo and it hit's great, I just need to find slightly larger rubber cartomizer-style tips to replace all the big hard plastic ones that are interchangeable. (I bet Kanger purposly didn't make the MT3 tip interchangable so they can sell us something 'new', then after that, they'll make an MT3 with changable head AND glass tank, so people buy more form them instead of one great product that lasts a long time).

I wish I wouldn't have lost mine. I was cleaning my tip one day and it popped out and left it out. I ended up using it for one of my chewing tips to make it a 'firmer' fit. Then...it popped out one day while I was driving and I can't find it to save my life... Wish I ran across this thread sooner!

Nice find although I've never had a problem. I get mine from my freedom smokes & all of them have it. Like a previous poster mentioned just use a cue-tip, it stays centered & goes right in place on the mini or big tank. The big tank top does not have the depth but the same principle. Vivi's are the best tanks I've ever used.
Yeah, I've had this problem a few times as well.

method for leak free mouth piece

100% success vivi nova 3.0

pull up the inner silicon grommet on the atty post

use the screw lid------ as you screw it on

it auto-compresses the silicon-seal and makes an oil tight seal
if your unit is clean / a dirty unit will leak

i clean mine every night now in a reuseable covered cup of peroxide
my wicks @ 2 weeks 3.4v ~1.8coil like new and taste flavor like its broken in

the q-tip is good heads up on centering before twist on 1st thread
