....yeah, personally I like the warm taste of the top coiled stardust and vivi, but tastes do vary...

I'm so glad you started this thread Morganmeltz. I do have a question that has been bugging me. Since I started using Stardusts I noticed that sometimes I hear snapping and popping when I hit the battery button and other times I don't. It's not toooo big of a deal because I still get vapor and taste if it doesn't go Rice Krispies on me..but still I'm curious as to why it happens. It stops..then after a bit it starts up again. The vast majority of the time I do hear it.
It is just how much juice is in the wick and coils that cause that sound... Toss some water drops onto a hot plate or skillet, you'll get something similar... too little or too much and it won't do it...
I was going to get a vivi but they are out of stock. I guess I will wait on the rebuildable stardusts that I ordered and see how I like those. Maybe by then the vivi will be back in stock...also watched the video on the vivi mini that is supose to be coming soon. I am still trying to figure out the sleeve for the vivi on my ego. everything I read makes me think that the phoenix might be to fiddly for me...I am definately a do not want to fiddle person also.
Thanks rdsok. Ok..now I know. So..it's a good thing that it's popping isn't it?
Ok...Morgan it is

Wally, what I am going to say is not for everyone, but it worked for me, so who knows...
Maybe the key is just to stop battling and focus on enjoying the vaping as much as possible. Just relax. Cigs are an obsession/addiction. The more you fight it, the more you think about it, the more it feeds the obsession. And, more, it stresses you out, and stress drags you back to the habit, inevitably.
What I did was just to focus on vaping, hang out on the forum, get fun toys and great tasting juices, take up as much of my time and "obsession" energy with vaping as I could - and it simply didn't leave all that much room for cigs. Vaping is more fun that cigarettes, and now that the equipment mostly works, it is also relaxing, or can be. If you make vaping more enjoyable for yourself than smoking, one day you will naturally reach for your PV rather than a cig - and on that day your battle will be done without fighting.
Meanwhile, if you want to smoke, smoke. But always keep your focus positive and on vaping. It worked really well for me, and for a lot of other people, and it's a lot less stressful and unpleasant than fighting with yourself all the time.

Briar,
Who needs a therapist when you are around. Very good points and I'll definitely give it a whirl. Maybe if I ignore the demons, they'll just go away. Guess I'll go order those Stardusts now. Thanks.

Ha! I'm so glad I opened this thread and read it from start to finish. Thankyou thankyou thankyou to everyone that's posted their troubles, questions and solutions!
I stumbled upon the Stardusts a couple months ago, and just love them, and then maybe a month or so ago I bought a couple of the Visions and a bunch of extra heads for them, as well as two of the metal tank replacements. I had used the original vision/head exclusively for around 3 weeks, disassembling and rinsing it out periodically, and it was working like a champ until the other day, after a refill, it would not work.
So I took the atty head off and cleaned it and put it away "just in case", and put a new one on. It vaped great for the first tank, and then after I refilled it, it didn't work anymore. I was super bummed, since I'd just replaced it. So I took the vision off and popped a stardust on and was puffin away on that while reading this thread.
My "AHA!!" moment came while reading the post about how sometimes the atty twists off and loses its connection when you are unscrewing the top of the vision off---I practically tripped over my own feet running to the kitchen to grab that vision and check the connection on the atty! While I was unscrewing the lid, I noticed that sure enough, the atty was sort of stuck to the lid and turning around while i was unscrewing it. I screwed it back on all the way, put the lid back on and put it on my Provari and IT WORKS!! Yeah!!
I'm so glad I didn't assume the other atty was garbage and throw it away, lol. You guys are rockstars, thanks again!!

Just an FYI Zooker...
Vision is the manufactorer... and not as specific carto/clearo/atty.... they make the Stardust even... So where you talking about the Vivi Nova perhaps when you said Vision?

You are very welcome. Different things work for different people. I hope you find something that works well for you.As for demons... It's like not giving them the dignity of an answer or empowering them by paying attention - then, hopefully, they get embarrassed and skulk off.
Stardusts are great - most folks love them.
Oops,lol--yes I meant vivi nova, don't know what I was thinkin' there!
okay...decided to come straight to the experts instead of spending hours searching for an answer...lol. I just loaded up my first stardust R. Have only had the version 1 from another vender (ooops) these are from GV. I am getting good flavor and vapor...no leaks...but it gurgles and pops????? I vape all vg due to pg allergies. any help on this one?
Agree. Also, I was getting a lot of gurgling when I first started using stardusts 'cos I was just pushing the drip tip in instead of screwing it down tight.
Edit; Of course, I'm talking about the old style tanks, but it may also apply to the replaceable head ones.

I filled it to the top black fill line...I do vape with it tilted down but I also tilt it every vape or so and I lay it on its side...tip screwed in tight.
It does seem to be less as I vape down the liquid...filling too high? I also have a tendency to chain vape...expecialy on this new juice I just got...OMG it is the best I have had in the year plus I have been vaping and I cannot put it down...do not know if it is okay to mention here what it is?
Since GV also sells juice... it is best that you don't mention other vendors out of courtesy if nothing else
PS... Myself, Briar and Kellie all likely know which one you are refering too since we go there also
