I have to admit, I got a vivi nova, and I don't really care for it. The flavor seems muted, but that doesn't surprise me. That zen guy needs to get a move on and make some more ZAPs!
In the meantime, I think I read somewhere, although it was a vague statement, that the Vivis can be rebuilt with SS mesh. I think I'm going to check that out. I am also uncomfortable with all the little bits of fiberglass that shed from the wicks during handling.
Furthermore, a standard vivi produces moderate vapor, not clouds. It also wicks poorly, despite having either one really fat wick, or three regular ones. For the price, I suppose it's decent, but it leaves me wanting.
In the meantime, I'm using a DCT. The flavor is muted, and I gotta keep suck starting that harley to keep the polyfill wet. I sucked through about four tanks yesterday. At $20/30ml for
juice, not to mention vivi heads and cartos for the dct, smoking is looking like the cheap route. I would like to get into DIY, but it doesn't seem like something I would stick with. If only there were a device that was as reliable and trouble-free as the ProVari.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
