I use a 3ml DCT tank on my silver bullet as my everyday rig. Never leaks on me. I'm pretty sure I payed 12 dollars for it.
Jaxn, just wondering from where the VN is leaking. I have been using one for a month at least now and never had it leak. I've also not read much about other people having leaking issues with them.
I'll recommend two tanks, a polypropylene tubed DCT tank and a pyrex glass tubed tank.
510 Pro DCTank Combo This is a polypropylene plastic (safe to use with all e-juice flavors) tube with chrome endcaps kit, including a drip tip, and 5 pre-drilled cartomizers of your choice of single/dual coil and ohm. 3.5ml or 6ml capacity. $21.50
IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us! I'd recommend either the standard or XL length 19mm diameter tube (depending upon the cartomizer length you choose). Pyrex tube and acrylic endcaps for $20, a little more if you desire stainless steel endcaps. Cartomizers and drip tips available on the site as well. The standard size tank has a 1.5ml capacity w/o the carto, the XL tank has a 2.0ml capacity w/o the carto.

x2 for ibtanked. Great setup, no leaks just make sure to pick up the tank filling tool. Will make your life much easier.
There is no shortage of good tanks to choose from.
The DCT made by Smoktech is scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as tanks go. The ID of the end caps is to small to slide a carto that you punch yourself through. (they did this in an effort to lock you into buying their prepunched/flanged cartos) This also leads to using thin o-rings that don't grip the carto well. They are a classic case of you get what you pay for.
With you mini nova look to see if the center post is centered. If it's off to one side a little look at the base (it's a two piece base). You will probably see more exposed below the knurled portion on one side. Just push it back in.

One last ditch effort if your mini is gurgling and leaking out the bottom is to have a look up inside the mouthpiece. There you may find a second silicon grommet/seal. If the tank is leaking at the seams, I'm afraid I can't help you there 
I got mine from Valley View...no problems, fast shipping plus you cannot beat the quality and pricing. You can choose with or without a fill hole. He will even prepunch and test your cartos for you for $2 more....can't beat that IMO

I'll agree there...but only in part. The Smok DCTs tank systems (and you can use single coil in them...not locked into dual coil by any means) that have the delrin or "plastic" type end caps are more forgiving and will accept home punched cartos. Of course, if you have a juice that degrades that material, it's a no-go...but would be with any tank. As for the chrome/metal end capped ones...it's a crapshoot (can I say that here?) with those. I have discovered that often times if I just turn the tube/tank upside down..with the grooved end up instead of down as designed..the home-punched cartos can fit (but then, I don't smash down on mine and make ginormous holes). I've also had luck with removing the delrin type end caps and putting metal caps from another tank on them (for example, I turned my black Smok DCT tank from solid black with the plastic end caps to one that looks awesomely classy with chrome end caps...still have to turn it upside down for the cartos to fit, but who cares?). Anyway...thought I'd throw that out there.
My favorite of "budget" polyprop DCT tanks is the F16 Boge ones. They are sweet. And they don't require turning upside down.
They cost a little more, but I like the glass tanks at phiniac. I have no leaking problem from them
I highly recommend Phiniac, my tank has never leaked, even if it did it would be a simple o-ring swap.
I have 3 Vivi Novas. No leaking problems as of yet. Got my fingers crossed.
I also tossed one of these in the cart when I ordered my last batch of juice
Chrome Cartomizer Tank - 3.5ml - $10.00 : Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids
They are out of stock as I type this, but that's an idea of a generic smoktech dual coil cartomizer tank. Good performer that thing. Oh and no leaks.
If you go with a carto tank check out this vid:

I recommend you get get a cheap dct tank(8 to 12 bux( and some single coil smoktech tripple prepunched cartos to go inside. I have used everything from 80% PG to 50/50 and it has NEVER leaked and never gave me a dry hit. I tried the vivi and quickly went right back to this.

I use it on my Provari with great pleasure every day.
Three words: "Texas Tuff Tank" from Vapedudes. I wasted so much money on tanks, and for 7$ its a great deal. The cartomizers need replaced every couple weeks (I'm a very heavy vaporer), and they are 2$ a piece. No leaks whatsoever, great flavor and vape too. I highly recommend this one. I've been using them for over a month now and I have zero complaints.
