How long does the Vivi Nova generally last?

[meldee]

I just ordered a Vivi Nova, and I'm curious how long it will last before I have to replace it? How often can I expect the heads to last? I vape mainly 50/50 fruit juices...no cinnamon or citrus or anything I've heard will hurt the tank.

Is it a 2.5? That shouldn't matter in regards to the usable life of the head, but I was just wondering. I think it depends mostly on how often you use it. If it is your primary vape tank and you get a week out of one head, that's pretty good since the heads are replaceable and only cost like $3 or so. They're a sweet little tank and it's one of the most pure flavored vapes out there. You can also get some solid colored Vivi Nova tank shells to change it up a bit. I got a solid black and a silver for mine.

I got on average 6 days out or each head.

I could only dream of $3/week in expenses...

Once I started rebuilding the heads myself, I change them every 3 days to keep things fresh. I bought about 9 mo to a year's supply of wick and wire for about $12. So each rebuild costs me about $0.05. Kind of unbelievable!

Yep, it's a 2.5. I'm stoked to get it. I've heard a lot of good things about it. Thanks for the info!

How do you rebuild the heads? And where do you get your supplies?

Ratpack gave you some good instructional links. I got my wire from here-

Resistance heating wire Kanthal A-1 33 awg 100 ft, | eBay

Got my crochet thread from Hobby Lobby.

I've had them last anywhere from the second hit too two months. The QC sucks, it's a luck of the draw thingy. And the people selling them give you only an DOA warranty. If it hits once then pops, you bought it. Only defense it to buy them by the pound from China. Or, you can mess around building your own coils. I don't much care to even screw in another coil, let alone building coils. JMHO

Cheers,
