I'm really having a hard time getting consistant vaping gear,I go through atty heads in 1 week,I buy a new smoketek tank and to me is the most inconsistant thing I've bought,The people at the Brick and mortar replaced the atty inside today now it taste like its burning,Its never really works.I buy a clearomizer that is the best one of all and it leaves a teardrop of juice on the battery of my twist.And now I'm stuck tonight without vaping.Are these problems caused by the 100%VG juice I'm using???And I always run my ego twist under 4.0 and i don't have a crazy vaping style I just take long drags.

lol I find it funny that the everyone uses the Vivi Nova's...I'm glad I bought them :p

Oh yeah try a VN...I've had no problems with them except when I forgot to swirl and tip, but that doesn't happen anymore. And with a Twist, I think the minis fit them perfectly...the regulars fit just probably overhang them a bit?

Hang in there buddy, it takes a while to figure out. I know, I deffo had some moments where I almost threw my device. But a little extra patience and some time and it'll get there. Just don't go back to the stinkies in the meanwhile :)

Hi, Steve. Don't let the fails keep you from vaping. The fails are the hard part about vaping. I've been vaping for about 1 1/2 yrs. and have gone through "alot" of fails. I think everyone that has vaped awhile feels the same way. Everyone likes different stuff and some have more great luck with one product, while others have bad luck. I hesitated to get a vivi nova until recently because I've had bad luck with clearomizers. I did get a version 1 vivi nova and a version 2.5 or something just in the past week. The first one was spot on, the second newest version the coil was reading at 3.4 ohms that came in it. Now I have a Provari so I adjusted my voltage but if I had just an EGO, I would have not had luck with it. Still the flavor on the 2nd has not been a great experience while the flavor and vape on the first one has been very good. Just goes to show there are still fails coming to me. lol. Something I've found after a great while are Resurrectors. They hold 2.5 ml of juice and they have never failed on me. Flavor is great too and price is cheap. Mind you, they aren't real attractive though. It's a pain to fill them also and you waste juice because you need to fill them until they drip juice out of the bottom. So there it goes. I've done the atomizers, cartomizers and clearomizers. I have alot of stories. We all have alot of stories and they all vary. lol. Keep trying new stuff until you find your sweet spot :) Mainly, keep vaping! Oh, got the great Kanger T2's this week also (2 of them). One works amazing, the 2nd one leaks and drips from the bottom. There ya go! LOL! That's China quality control for ya!

After 3 months vaping I use nothing but vivi novas and the mini version. Can't say why you're having so many problems but I have no issues ever with the vivi's.

met too me too!
we had 10 in the house with a nice flavor rotation (the bf and me) and just had a funeral for 3 of the tanks. All of the tanks were damaged due to dropping repeatedly or being run over by a car. Otherwise they are an amazing solid product. super easy and super consitant.

i like my Stardust clearomizers, but they are finicky little critters. A few things I have figure out to keep them in line is: 1) Don't fill them up more than 1/2 way, no matter how much juice it claims to hold; 2) After you fill them, twist up a very thin piece of paper towel and GENTLY stick it down the center hole to suck up excess juice; 3) Twist another piece of paper towel and stick it up the hole in the bottom and let it sit for awhile to soak up the excess juice; 4) Tip often; and 5) For the first few minutes, take it off of the battery a few times to check for that drip. It sounds complicated, but I got used to it pretty fast and haven't had any problems. It really seems like filling it up to the top line is a major issue.

ETA: I have novas too, but I like the Stardusts because they're inexpensive and I can keep several of them around with different flavors in them.

Wow, I use Vivi Nova's, Replaceable Stardusts and Smoktech 3.5 ml DCTs and have never had a problem with any of them. No leaks, perfect vapes. I do buy all of my stuff from Got Vapes. There are a ton of clones of clones out there so it may be where you purchase your equipment. Just a thought.

I got my 2nd vivi nova from GV and the coil is reading 3.4 ohms and it vapes hot. Someone with just an EGO wouldn't have been able to use it. Flavor sucks and the condensation causes gurgling and causes slight leaking out the air holes that I have to constantly wipe off. I've had other problems in the past on some of their stuff too, but not to give them a hard time as I've had issues with some other vendors also. It's give and take, I guess. Some good, some not so good.
