So I though this was going to be the holly grail., made sure to buy original Vivi's. It did start out that way using a 1.8 head on my Kgo passthru with Ice/Ice juice from Vape Dudes,. However half way thru the first tank a nasty burt plastic taste started. I took it apart, cleaned, dry burned, refilled and let it sit for over an hour. But that same after tast is still there. My ego vision clearo's have much better taste. Any suggestions?
Mini Vivi Nova - bad taste

The novas are touchy. Unless you have a full tank you'll find yourself doing the tip method a lot, especially with thicker juices.. you just gotta keep it wet & find the sweet spot of ohms/volts

I found you got to keep the juice level up or else it starts to taste funny. but I never had a burnt taste ever out of my vivi nova 3ml... my brother has the mini and he gets a burnt taste... maybe its the mini's... but I would suggest a new atty that has to be the fault.... I told my brother to put on a new head and no burnt taste... make sure you do not get liquid in the middle...
oh great I got a few coming in the mail today another CE let down when will I learn, I wonder if I can use SS mesh in them
This happens to me with 100% vg juices, especially when they get a little low. Still love them though, they are just so easy and I have gotten some good life out of the heads.
You will find these top coil Nova's very sensitive to voltage, and they run a lot hotter than bottom coils like normal atties and cartos.
To give you some examples, I have a mini nova with a cappuccino flavor running at 3.3v with a 2.8ohm head, a regular Vivi Nova with a 555 flavor in it running at 3.7v with a 2.8ohm head, and a stardust with a candy flavor in it also running at 3.7v with a 2.8ohm head.
I can't use any of these three flavors with the 1.8ohm head without getting a bad flavor. 1.8ohm is to hot for them, even at just 3v.

1.8ohm is probably too low for your juice. Why not try 2.4ohm instead? I use 2.4ohm at 3.7v as they are generally ok for me, except for those very thick juices. Which will give me burnt taste if i chain vape too fast.
well I've been vaping on my new VV kgo at 5v with the mini nova using the 2.4 ohm head for a couple hours and it pretty good so far the mini nova might be a win. my only complaint is this setup is a little on the long side.
Hopefully there is a fix. They have really cool covers that I am looking at buying. The only issue is the taste of burn wick on the vivi.
I noticed with my Vivi that lowering the voltage until getting rid of the burnt taste is the quickest way to finding that sweet spot.
I've got a Mini coming in the mail next week, and I really hope it doesn't have this problem... :/
I have a feeling I might run into similar issues, though, as the mod I use the most is known for running hot (Gripper 3-way VV).

gasket on the head is burning ... look into that cant find the tutorial i seen before.
BTW - No worries lol my wife has the vivi mini. Taste for hers is fine. Only difference is the mini and regular is the tank size. it uses the same replaceable heads.
TRY A DIFFERENT HEAD. Sounds like the plastic cap is burning.

This is the only real problem i have with these tanks. I have one of each size and have rebuilt all the heads i have at this point. I haven't had that burnt rubber taste from any of the stock heads but it seems if i wrap a coil under about 2.2 ohms it happens every time. I was hoping to be able to get down around 1.7 or so because I mainly use 3.7 mechanical mods, but so far it looks like that's not going to happen...anyone have any suggestions?
