first successful rebuild!

Bammm!

I love this forum and the people on it! After researching and shopping I successfully just rebuilt my first vivi nova head and it vapes like a beast. I tested my vivi with a regular stock head at 3.5ohms and my rebuilt coil hit 3.6ohms.the new coil is vaping fantastically. Now I'm just waiting for my vamo kit to come in the mail so I can start messing around with resistance and volts!

Next phase of vaping: DIY e-liquid!

That's awesome and congrats! The forum has a lot of great information on rebuilding and diy.

I suggest trying the protank next. The head is rebuilt the same way.

I have a question about these. I rebuilt protanks a lot, and since I don't use any non resistance wire (cause its a gigantic pain in the ....) I notice that the positive to negative insulation "o ring" burns up a little bit. Did you notice the same thing? It's not of great concern to me... but I still don't like burnt stuff close to my vape.

I just checked my vivi since I didn't use no resistance wire either but I don't see any burning as of now. The pro tanks a diff story I still have my stock heads that came with it so I won't be replacing them anytime soon. Ive heard its possible however to actually burn through that rubber gasket.

With the burnt gasket all I do is circumcise it! lol

Usually just the portion is burnt where the wire meets it. I just use nail clippers and snip off that portion. It also makes it easier to push the grommet back in after you run your wires through.

It's usually just burnt on the top edge. It's easy to remove.

I usually make the positive lead of the coil sit in a different spot every time I recoil it.

I'll try shopping it off next time...
