Is it natural that the juice I put on my vivi nova clearomizer drains too fast even if I just use my vivi twist for a little while? Like I just refilled my tank and in a span of 16 hours its almost empty and I have not used it for more than 5 mins on that span of time. I tried all the atomizer heads it came with 1.8 at 3.70v and 2.4 at 4v but theyre all thesame!

I want to try the vivi nova 3.5 if it will solve the problem or is the mechanical mod with genesis tank better?:unsure:

If your using the mini 16 hours is pretty good. I go through a mini quicker than that. If it were me, and I have used the mini Vivi and 3.5 and a clone I would go Protank the glass one not the plastic knock offs or the Protank plastic. Bigger tank better feed system. Easier to refill and repair. You can replace the head on a Protank with out taking it all apart. Can even be full of juice. The only time I get dry hits on that is if the head is really gunked up or if I run almost out of juice.

It doesn't make juice disappear - either it leaked (they can leak) or it goes through juice faster than other devices (many say they do that too).

Personally, I don't like the Mini Vivi Nova - and I tried them for quite a while. If you want a similar kind of device - a small clearomizer - I would recommend you try a Kanger T3 Mini, or a Kanger EVOD. I found them less likely to leak, and better flavor, too...

Well the vivi nova is a top coil device and those long wicks suck up some juice before you even start vaping. Plus, when it's empty there is a ton of juice on those wicks that you can't get at.

Good suggestions about using an EVOD, that would be my recommendation too - although I have a mini nova and use it every day, the EVOD gives a great flavorful vape and seems to use less juice. It's a very similar size to the mini vivi nova too. Keep in mind that the EVOD is a bottom coil clearo and will give a slightly cooler vape.

Why is it people never say - I vape more juice with (X)?

If it isn't leaking the juice must have been Vaped be the vape gremlins!

Vivi's are known to having leak issues around the base of the tank. Don't know is the mini's suffer the same trait. However, leaking is obvious from the wet sticky mess left behind.

the minis i had seemed less prone to leakage then the full size until the center post got worn out (the one you screw the head onto is press fit and this comes loose over time) i dont know why but they suck down juice bad lol

If you only vaped it for 5 minutes it must be leaking.
If you were vaping for 16 hours, well mine lasts 4 to 6 hours.
what I mean by span of 16 hours is! like I refilled it then vape for like 5 mins only it was still full when I left it on my table after 16 hours its already empty, Im not sure if it is leaking from the bottong because I dont see any sticky mess around it. My theory is that the juice was being sucked and evaporated from the drip tip even without using it!

I guess I need to try another tank, I look at the suggestion here! where is that evod tank talking about?

I've honestly never seen that happen. In fact, I literally have 2 Vivi Nova's sitting here on my desk that have been half full for about a week.

What I would do is half fill the Vivi and then leave it on your desk for a day or two. If the level stays the same, then you must have a problem with your battery letting a trickle of power go through when you're not firing and causing the juice to vaporize slowly enough that you can't see it. That's the only explanation that I can think of.

What sailense said ^^^ . And if the battery is letting some current through all the time, this will probably happen with all juice delivery devices. If the bat is OK, then I think you must have a leak. Nothing else I can think of explains it, but I have no idea why you are not able to find leaked juice. I guaranty you that much juice does not evaporate in that amount of time. My VN's of both sizes do not do this after weeks of laying around with juice in them.

Kanger makes the EVOD, the Pro Tank, the MT3S (these are all called bottom coil clearomizers: BCC). These three models have various pros and cons as well as different capacity. All three have replaceable coils that means you can replace the coil without having to buy a new clearo. The coils are cheap and I like it because I hate throwing things away when they can be recycled, reused etc.

I have all three and I love all three. I think my favorite is the MT3S for ease of use and draw. My Pro Tank is getting better with each new "fix". I just added the air flow regulator and I am liking the draw much better. Now to find the volts that will give me more vapor. The Pro Tank is made from Pyrex and safe for the liquids that can eat up a polycarbonate tank. There is a list on the forum of the liquids but a short list includes citrus, licorice, and banana. I can't remember much more. I just got two Vision Victory tanks that are a lot like the Pro Tank but about half the price. They were supposed to be glass tanks. Then they weren't supposed to be glass tanks. I can say the Victory has the same sound as the Pro Tank when "pinged" so I think I received some from the glass shipment. Time will tell.

Hope that wasn't confusing. The best bet is to look at the Kanger products. They are nice for newbies like me because they seem to idiot proof. And I have done some idiotic things with vaping before I found this forum! :facepalm:
 
I've used the EVOD and the Vivi-Nova. The Vivi, with the 1.8ohm head, produces at least 3 times more vapor for me than the EVOD. Now, that being said, I haven't bought a similar resistance head for my EVODs yet. However, I will say that the Vivi, especially for the first tank or so, will probably absorb more juice while wetting the wicks. Also, my vivi didn't produce much flavor for the first half tank or so.

Hope this helps.

You may also want to check if there are any other vapers in the house taking stealth hits of your juice. I do this to my brother sometimes. ;)

Aha, that would explain a lot. My wife (an ex-smoker) likes to vape my apv when I am not looking. I even went so far as to buy her some 0-nic juice and set her up with a spinner and EVOD, but she likes to steal mine. I think that's why I love her...erm wait, that sounded wrong.
