The Vivi itself should last easily months or even years. The heads last anywhere from a week to a month or more, depending on a multitude of factors.

It comes with 3 heads, so figure at least 6 weeks before you run out. You can buy new heads for a couple bucks each.

For $15 in wick and wire, you can rebuild the heads for a long, long time.

Thats about the right price. Make sure it has the 3 heads with it.

How long each head lasts will depend largely on you. Dark juices tend to deposit more "crud" on the head and the head will cleaning more often. cleaning the head will ensure it lasts the longest life possible.

I vape a lot of dark juices and get about 3 weeks use out of one head - I clean about every 3 tank fulls or so. Mind you this is just my personal experience.

You can get a much longer life out of your heads by simply rinsing them off under warm water every other tank. For more through cleaning try soaking the head in alcohol or my personal favorite, denture cleaner, for a few hours. Rinse and let it dry.

The tank its self will last indefinately and your only real cost after initial purchase is to replace the head. they cost 3.00.

For me this is a perfect price point. I dont have to replace very often and its cheap to do when I do need to replace the head. You can lower your cost further by learning to rewick the head yourself. This I cannot offer any opinion on. I feel that 3.00 is pretty cheap already!

Other clearos cost less but many of them are not rebuildable and thus - you just throw it out and buy another when it no longer works. per use cost goes up dramatically.

Dont buy for "cheap right now" - buy for what will give you the best value in the long run.

I got some Vivi nova heads/attys for $1.99 at DiscountVapers. These heads will not fit some Vivi's. They are not Vision heads. Just found out.
Best price I've found. I also am set up to rebuild them when they eventually die.

I have month old attys. I swap between two. I soak one in alcohol while the other is in use. Then wash it out good and dry burn it.

My mini-viva nova alone has saved me at least 3 boxes worth of carto's in about a month. They heads are incredibly easy to rebuild and I just cannot go back to poly-fill cartos of any sort at this point. I was really enjoying my fusion 801's and DC carto's, but they're gathering dust at this point. It's worth every penny of the investment, and then some. If their were such thing as "vaping product of the year", this would take it by far.

VvNs are very easy to clean and should last at least a month, maybe longer, without a head replacement.

I have vivi heads that have lasted me almost 2 months now.

They are a LOT cheaper than cartomizers.

You do need to do a little maintenance though, every few tanks (you'll notice a dip in flavour, or a slight burned taste) they need to be cleaned and dry burned.

It's really easy to do, here's a great "how to" video :)

Does the mouthpiece/drip tip come off or is it part of the Talk app here is a link to the 1 I was looking at it
NicFitNation.com - Canadian supplier of e-cig kits, parts, accessories, and e-liquids - ViVi Nova Tank

the end is here. the end of smoking that is lol vape on


That's the one I have and I love it. Just make sure you can buy replacement heads for that model. I get my heads from the B&M that I buy the kits from. Just bought another kit in fact. For some reason dropping it onto a concrete floor on 3 separate occasions isn't good for it.

OK, how much have you saved by giving up cancer causing analogs? Isn't your health worth a few bucks? The Mini VVN is rebuildable. I bought a 5 pack of 2.4 heads for $16, free shipping. That will last for a while. Clean about every three tanks of juice, and look at an OHM chart to set your device to the right voltage, assuming you have a variable volt. Some have said to use a 1.8 head, but unless I'm wrong, you have to have a vv that will handle the low resistance head.

Now How to convince my wife lol

My Vivi Novas are chugging along very happily at 5 weeks. I rinse, dry burn, rinse again and air dry them every two or three fills.

The first part of this video will show you how to clean the Vivi Nova. Some people just replace the heads when the atomizers give out but the last part of the video will show you how to save some money by rebuilding the Vivi Nova wicks, A PBusardo Tutorial - Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding
