Is the vivi nova still the best clearo on the market?

I've got a vivi nova and it has worked great over the past 8 month or so. I've tried the T3, the CEs, the iClear, and none has performed as well as my vivi nova.

So is the vivi nova still tops now? I've heard about the Protank but has never tried it. It might look great and use better materials, but I wonder if it is as user friendly as the vivi nova?

Or perhaps there are products I don't know about?
Thanks

"Best" is a very subjective adjective. What one person likes another will not.

I happen to prefer the iClear 30 and Protanks over the Vivi Nova, if only because of their better quality construction. I like that the Protanks use pyrex so I don't have to be concerned about what flavor I use. The iClear's dual coils and 16 wicks allow for a lot of flavor and vapor production (my experience). If it had a pyrex tank it would be hands down the top clearo in my opinion.

All of the clearomizers are the same as far as being user friendly. Some are top fill and some are bottom fill. I find the top-fill ones the easiest to top off with juice, less steps involved. Most all of them now have replaceable heads to increase their longivity. I use 510-threaded mods, so I prefer using clearos that connect easily to them without having to use an eGo adaptor (iClear 16, Evod are eGo threaded) although those provide for a nice vape, too.

Clearomizers have come a long way in technology and quality construction since I used my first one 1 1/2 years ago. I feel Kanger and Innokin have taken the lead over from Vision in the clearomizer competition.

There is a pyrex vivi nova now. Of course there has been a metal one for a long time too.

I actually like the vivi nova, but I would be hard-pressed to call it the best. I'd call it one of the better ones for sure. As Bad said, it's really subjective.

If you like it and got a good vape from it, it'll be difficult to find something better in my opinion. But if you wanted to try a bottom coil device, an EVOD is a good inexpensive way to start. If you like the EVOD, there is a good chance you will like the protank - again, my opinion only.

I do want to add that I do have a Vision Mini Vivi Nova in the metal tank style and I do like it. My only issue with it is the tilting and swirling that has to be done to keep the wicks wet as you get lower in the tank. It's not overly difficult to do, you just have to remember to do it, to prevent dry hits. I do not have this issue with the ARO and EVOD's.

If you do get an ARO or EVOD and decide the draw is too airy (as some do), you can always block/cover one or two of the three holes in the base to DRASTICALLY tighten the draw.
