Finally get a T3 and a mini-Nova and...

...I'm unimpressed.
Flavor is barely there. Vapor production is "meh"
Just not really impressed, my tiny little Nano clearo produces more flavor/vapor than either.

Eh, I just opened the package an hour ago and been bouncing between the 2, so maybe the juice(100%VG) hasn't had enough time to fully soak in.
Also got a trio of samplers of the Gotvapes Flux stuff(70/30 PG/VG). Tried VanillaScream first and it tasted a bit "bleh"ish. Probably needs to be steeped, so they'll go into storage for a week.

I like posts like this. Honest, and willing to pay forward advice that lets others know what to expect going from specificaly this to specificaly that. Just complaining would never cut it, but your post mentions What you recieved, and the VG juice, and possible variables. Can you tell us what device you used them on, and the volts?

I'm using an MT3 2.4 ohm on a Provari set at 3.8 volts vaping Ble Mist Dekang style tobacco juice with no complaints.

 

[wmacy1028]

My kanger works great with a 70/30 PG/VG blend at 4.2Volts. anything less i see lower production, My mini vivi works best at 3.4-3.6 Volts the mini vivi has the 2.4ohm head in it. anything above 3.6 i start to get a burnt taste.

Maybe 100%VG. Vaping 50/50 and 70/30 with huge vapor production.
What I did experience was when re-wicked nova is filled it can take as much as 20 vapes till it starts to produce huge clouds of vapor. First puffs there's barely any vape at all.
But usually I don't give any time for wicks to soak

Pair of 650mAh eGo-T's, so their operational voltage of ~3.3v is probably the biggest factor.
There's a good chance I'll pick up an eGo Twist, but that will probably have to wait until next month.

That could be it. set my VV to 3.3v with 2.5 resistance on head and got minimal amount of vapor

I would say that the voltage is probably a contributing factor in the lack of flavor. I generally recommend 1.7 to 2.0 ohms on the standard 3.3v eGo batteries for the best performance and flavor production. Hang on to them until you get the Twist and you may find they work much better at the 3.7 to 4.2 volt range.

Your mini nova should've come with 3 heads - the one installed is 2.4ohm and in the box should be a 1.8ohm and a 2.8 (I think) ohm. Try putting in the 1.8ohm head - should be a better match for your ego batts.

What kind of PV you the nove hooked up too?

Eh, ordered off of Gotvapes and only the full size Nova gets the box+extra heads
I did notice the lack of extras with the mini-Nova, I just wasn't worried about it as the T3 and m-Nova were bought as a "trial run" thing.

You got beat to that question

 

[mayamason]

Hang on to them and give them both another try once you pick up a twist (or other VV device). Vaping at a higher voltage will make a big difference in both flavor and vapor.

Do. The difference in vapor is huge. Also try to get the 1.8 ohm heads. Sometimes I have to turn down the voltage because it chokes me. I'm vaping HHV Shadowfax at about 40/60 and avg 3.7v

 

[ninjuh]

Yeah to be honest that kind of pisses me off how gotvapes the "oh-so-reputable-vendor" doesn't give you a legit mini vivi nova package. That's how it comes from the manufacturer, why screw people out of it, .......s.

If you're using an unregulated ego batt, use the 1.8-2.4ohm heads on the nova. I can't speak for the kangers yet, still waiting for mine to arrive.

Opted to dig up Vision's site and oddly enough neither the vivi nor mini nova were listed
As for Gotvapes, digging around for Vision's site I found a few other sites that sold just the mini-Nova(no box, no extra heads) for about the same price I paid. The sites that had the full kit(box+heads) available were selling it for a buck or two more than just the mini-Nova.

Eh, whatever, something I took note of and opted to share

I agree. I am using the 2.8ohm head on my vivi and run it at 4.0-4.4 volts and I am happy with the taste and vapor. I got a bad T3 so cant comment on that.

 

[Blurgas]

Allrighty. Just picked up the T3 again after letting it sit for ~6 hours
Vapor production is much better, so the earlier lack of such was just a lack of the VG seeping fully through.
As for flavor, I can actually get a good shot of that if I let the coil heat up for 3 seconds or so, but yea, should pick up a Twist or something soonish

 

[Butters78]

Yup the 100 VG is alot harder to wick than the thinner juices on dem der Chinese gadgets.

Dilluting pure VG with a little water can make wicking a lot better...

The Vision Mini Vivi Nova is not available as a boxed set. Only the full-sized Vision Vivi Nova comes as a boxed set. If you see a boxed set Mini it is from a different manufacturer (i.e., a clone). The clones may be just as good as the Vision product, or may not be as good. It varies.

The Vivi Nova and the Mini Vivi Nova are both on the Vision site. Look under "ego clearomizers". And, yeah, there is a pic of the boxed set under the full sized, but not under the mini.
