Alright everyone im stuck on this one. I had some mint juice in a ce4 and had good vapor good TH and good flavor. I then filled my brand new vivi nova with the same juice and got a ton more vapor but almost no TH and a very muted flavor. Im running a vv and it was adjusted to match the ce4 and everywhere else. I dont get it, plus i would figure more vapor would equal more hit and flavor, whats happening here? Does a vivi need some break in or what?
more vapor but less flavor?

Yeah its going to take some breaking in to really bring out the flavor. Depends on the juice & how it settles with the coils too.
I love the Vivis - regular and mini, but there are times when the flavor is muted.
I don't know why, and a lot of people have mentioned this. Sometimes the flavor
is excellent.
The answer to Buggs question might lead you to a better flavor. If you are using
the higher ohm atty for the Vivi, you might need to vape at a higher voltage. That
doesn't always fix it, but it's a good place to start. Other times, lower voltage may
bring the flavor out.
The draw can affect throat hit. If the draw is too airy or not airy enough, it can
make a difference. You can test it by looking at the connector to find the air holes.
You can block one of them by breaking off the tip of a toothpick in it. If that doesn't
help, you may need more air flow (I doubt that's the deal, but maybe). If you need
more air flow, you may have to enlarge the holes, but do that as a last resort, and
follow instructions from people who have done that. I haven't, but I think you can
find vids on YouTube.
Also, Vivis have a habit of darkening some liquid. When it does that, the flavor will
get dull and it's time to change the oil. Be sure to keep the heads clean and free
of gunk.
Good luck.
BTW - to me, the mini is a better vape than it's bigger brother; better flavor and
throat hit.

Rebuilding the heads seems to have alwaus worked for me. Stock builds sometimes are wound too tightly.
Hope you find the perfect vape soon.

That's a good point. I even forget that when it comes to my own stuff.
My ce4 is at 2.4 and my vivi is at 2.6. I ran the ce4 at 4.5 and the nova at 4.7, yet the ce4 taste awesome and has ton of TH from the gate while the vivi is blowin plumes of vapor while having a muted flavor and almost 0 TH.
Also depends on the head's resistance. I find the Mini Vivi 2.4 ohm head to be less flavorful than the 1.8. I have to turn up the wattage quite a lot. Still, you always need a break in period, generally a couple of tanks. You can make it faster soaking it in rubbing alcohol and dry burning.
I could never get used to CE4, to me it lifts too much PG making my throat sore. I could barely taste the flavor.
Thanks for the info guys, i only used 1/3 of a tank on it so far so ill give it some time to settle in. Ill let you know what the outcome is, im sure it will be fine.
well, the nova works great as it should. removed the 4th wick strand and the cotton sleeve.
Did you remove the plastic top hat? You can alter the wicks or even rebuild the atomizer to change performance. Even lift up on the plastic top hat slightly I've found. I've never tried removing it as it would flood the atty much easier.
on a factory head if you take the silicon cap off and look at the coil there is a sleeve around it, pulled it gently out with tweezers and the flavor is much stronger, also a heavier throat hit as well.
There is a cylindrical ring that the coil sits inside of. My guess is that it serves to keep the coil centered in the assembly so that none of it may touch the metal surrounding it, which would create a short. I don't think it has any effect on flavor or vapor production.. just there as a safety.
