Hello all,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. Long time analog smoker, recent vapor convert. I've been off analogs since December and haven't looked back since.

Initially, I started off with Njoy/Blu but got hooked on Volcano's Inferno tank cartomizers until they started to leak. Recently, I purchased an Ego-C Twist with a LR atty. I mostly vape Johnson Creek's Red Oak Tennessee Cured, which has been fabulous, except the 100% VG juice seems to leave some residual juice on the battery. I've also tried Vivi Novas but the flavor wasn't what I was expecting. (I've read a few ECF posts that touched on the "muted flavor" issue and fixes but I'm too scared to mod electronics...)

In any event, I still enjoy vaping. Currently, I'm waiting on a sampler shipment from Heathers Heavenly Vapes. Very excited to see what they offer.

I love this site. It has such a wealth of information. I look forward to joining the coummunity of vapers.

Hi and welcome! You can have tons of fun here reading about all the gear and juices. You're not alone with being unimpressed by the Vivi Nova. It certainly has fans, lots and lots of fans, but I'm one of those who isn't blown away. It comes down to personal preference - and the type of juice you use. Vivi Nova tubes will degrade when in contact with some juices. There is a metal tube available, to use in place of the plastic one, but you can't see your juice level. My favorite set-up is carto tanks.

I know it's too much info, but I post about juice problems as much as I can. I lost a lot of gear to melting and cracking before someone explained it to me: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/219179-lets-make-list-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-33.html

Welcome. I've followed a similar path, off the analogs since Nov, started with Blu. The JC Tenn Cured is my all day, but I mix 1 part Red Oak to 3 parts regular and that tastes great in my vivi nova. It also does really well in the Kanger MT3, which is the T3 with a solid shell and two small windows so you can see your liquid.

Also, I just got my first sampler in from HHV. I'm sure it needs more steeping time, but if you lean towards the JC Tenn Cured like me, so far Legend and Dragon's Fire haven't worked for me. Shadow definitely has some promise. More steeping and that one might work out.

Good luck....
