Low res Vivi nova rebuild

[alexvander123]

Hey guys if this isn't the right spot for this I apologize. Well I normally use my aga-T2 every day but summers right around the corner and I have a pretty physical summer job. Crouching kneeling and well sitting. I was looking to get a Vivi nova as it is leak proof.

My question is have any of you guys tried low ohm vivi nova builds? In my gennys Im around .5-1 ohm. I would probably keep the Vivi around one since I only use mech mods. If you have done them how should i try them? Just stick with the silica?

Thanks for any help guys!

well I think the problem would be your coils' legs getting too hot and burning the rubber grommet in the head. I've heard you can twist the legs to double resistance but I tried rebuilding one vivi normally and couldn't get the mesh to roll correctly. The head worked pretty good for a wick that was kinked a bit. I might try rebuilding a head again with cotton, but I want to get a metal tank first.

Who told you the Vivi Nova is leak proof?

Well my dad has one and he's never had a leak. But there pretty much leak proof compared to a genny.

my vivi's are leak proof and do work great, but even with 28g wire at 3 or 4 wraps I still get 2 ohms..The lenth of the legs is what hurts on trying to get low res on a vivi..

I'm liking the drunker pretty well. I used twisted 32 kanthal for a 1.7 ohm coil, wicked with cotton and it's working well at ~ 5.2 watts. Check the 'inside the drunker' thread if you want to check it out.

i run my vivi nova with 3mm cotton wick with 30awg kanthal aq at 1.3 ohms and it works better than when i was using silica. i also tried with 325 ss mesh going straight across the head tank wall to tank wall, and cut the top silicone grom to not pinch the mesh and for me the cotton wick had better flavor and vapor production. note i use a full mechanical, imo they are better than vv/vw mods hands down. the mesh did have a warmer vape i think cuz with the slot size in the head even when widened stilll wasnt enough to to keep wicking efficiently, i couldn't chain vape on the mesh like i could on the cotton wick.

i haven't had any real leaking from the tank but the coil would get flooded if layed down on its side too long.

I'm using a mech mod, 18650 hi drain imr. I've been rebuilding my Vivi's for 6 months now, using 32 ga nichrome. 3mm organic cotton wick from High Desert Vapes. 5 wraps gives me 1.8-2.0 ohms.I get tons of vapor and great flavour(80/20 mix). Still using the same rubber center grommet on the coil unit.
