Stock out of the box, yes, flavor is muted.

Rewick those novas with 100% cotton yarn and its a whole different story. Great flavor/ vapor and crazy cheap to build.

I just got some of that Xc-116 ceramic wick yesterday. Gong to give it a try in octopus and nova. Supposed to be pretty good and can be cleaned and reused over & over

Richmond, Va...Right in Altria's back yard.
Get a Kanger Protank...putting the coil on the bottom eliminates the muted flavor and wicking issues associated with a ViVi Nova....you can rebuild the heads on those as well and more importantly since its pyrex you wont have to worry about citrus or cinnamon juices cracking the tank or causing it to leech chemicals into your juice.

Hate gurgle and cool vape from bottom coils. A friend of mine is sending me an AGA-T2 that he just got and doesn't like

I havent experienced any gurgle from the Protank at all. I do like my vape on the cool side so I cant offer an objective comment in that regard.

If the Aga-T proves too fiddly for you you might want to give carto tanks a try.They get a bad rap because of the dry hits associated with cartos but the tank eliminates that and offers a superior vape over a Nova IMO.

I have tried the T3. I don't like the airy draw and can't stand how cool it is. Most of the time I use the octopus and mini RDA's. nova is just for when I'm driving around chain vaping. To hard to drip when I'm shifting gears. Plus I'm trying to make sure I stick to stuff I can rebuild in case the FDA and the states just go crazy about taxing and banning sales

Recently I plunked down the 100 Euros for a Spheroid. It is an awesome, simple atomizer. I generally stay out of recommending things because I'm somewhat of a vapeslut, it's ridiculous. But I know good stuff. Check out a Spheroid on YouTube or something. Interesting concept, works great, and is available (every once in awhile :) ).

It works VERY well. Excellent flavor, much vapor. Runs a little cool with a long drip tip, going to shorten it up. Today's the first day I've taken it to work for exclusive active use, has performed great. I've learned a couple tricks for it and it's awesome. Easy as pie. It's what I want those long needled bottles for.

Yeah.
Good thing though, I got to work at 6:00 with a full Spheroid and I haven't had to refill. Don't vape a lot here, but even so. It does a good job of maximizing.

Cool. I have an extra Octopus RDA. I think I will pick up some of that filler and try lining the inside with it. From the video I saw it might have the same effect. If not then I can just pull it out. Worst thing that can happen is it leaks past the o-rings

Actually I just remembered something and went and checked my juice box. Nicquid juices come in a bottle with a very long skinny needle drip tip on it. My wife like those bottles since they make it easier to fill her clearo's. they also have a childproof screw cap on them. Haven't found those bottles anywhere else so when she needs a new bottle I just order a bottle of their juice. I like their Apple Frost sometimes

It takes less filler than you imagine. If you pack it it doesn't wick well. Knowing nothing about an octopus, all i can say is make sure there's good space between the coil and the fluff.

It actually has lots of room inside it. Makes it really easy to recoil. And those 8 wicks it has really soak up the juice. It doesn't have a juice well but I start a fresh coil with 20-25 drops and I've never had it leak
