So, I bought the ego c about a year ago, did the vaping for about a month. I didnt have a good experience so i went back to smoking. I started vapeing again last week. I got the ego twist, that helped but not enough. Then got the vivi nova mini. That seemed to be ok, then it came time to change the wick. I could not get the bottom piece of, so i went to buy another. The store i went to didnt sell the vivi so i got a duel coil something and i couldnt get it to work. Then back to the store and got their version of the vivi. The new one is making gurgle noises and is tasteing bad. MYbe i over filled it. I seem to be getting the nicotine i need but its not a pleasent experience. Was thinking to get the vmax or something spiffy but dont wanna spend the money if i cant get this right...

Was it a Dual Coil Tank? Before inserting the inside piece, drop about 15 - 20 drops of juice into the polyfill. Then insert it 3/4s the way into the tank and fill up the tank. I used to use those. Currently I'm using the Vivi Nova. I also suggest looking into the Kanger T3. There are so many options. If your getting the gurggling, try balling up some tissue to the bottom of the Vivi and blow through the drip tip.

I can't tell from your description what the problem is with your Vivi Nova but this PBusardo tutorial might help you get your Vivi Nova back in working condition. PVs and juice delivery devices can sometimes get mysteriously recalcitrant about working or fail completely. Having backups on hand is always a very good idea.

Hey man, don't give up. The ego twist is cool but your right, the amount of nic and vapor your wanting will never happen out of that unit. Try Joesvapor blog or his web site, watch it for a few days and get a cheap variable voltage unit. A lavatube nockoff will do the trick. He has some for like 20 bucks, Keep up with the cartos for awhile, and air is your best friend. Just pull that thing out and blow through it. Vivi's have never worked for me they alway taste bad. I used cartos for a long time you cant beat the flavor. If you really like the VV tubes then when the knock off tube breaks, spend the money and get a Provari or a Vmax and a good rebuidable and your set for a long time. Happy vapes man

Yes, Provari is the way to go! Provape.com is calling you.

You guys cut it out. The young lady comes here asking for help, and everyone is busy telling her to get a Provari. Give me a break! :facepalm:

After carefully reading the issues that the OP is having, her issues seem to be more related to her juice delivery devices than her battery. A newer eGo Twist has plenty of power to run the juice carrier devices that she is likely to put on it. Telling her to spend money on a more expensive battery is not going to solve her current issues. Her issues seem to be she can't get her vivi nova and cartotank to work correctly. A different mod is not going to correct those issues and is not necessary at this point.

LEARN TO READ, PEOPLE. Or should I say, LEARN TO LISTEN to what people are asking and saying.

A new mod will be of no use if she doesn't learn how to work the things that go on top of it.

Yes it seems to be the delivery, i have the twist i just bought then the two original that came in the kit. The tips that came with the ego suck, so i replaced with the vivi nova.... cant unscrew the bottom so got a fake one. I think i just over filled it, maybe? I was fairly happy with the vivi although i seemed to get juice in my mouth a few times.

How difficult would it be for you to bring your batteries and top devices to your storefront vendor?

I'm finding it difficult to analyze what the problem could be within this format. You seem like you would benefit most by having a salesman demonstrate how your equipment works one on one. Are you comfortable doing that?

Yeah i can do that, i live in the Dallas area and we have so many stores. Ill go up there tomorrow and ask for some much needed help
I think that is best. I can tell that you are not familiar yet with the "lingo" and its real difficult to help you in this format due to the difficulty of communication.

Sorry that we couldn' be of more help. I'd appreciate an update when things get settled more.
