My first Vape

[alegria]

The difference between the mini Nova and regular Nova is the size. Mini holds 2ml, reg holds 3.5ml. I use a mini, as well as a Kanger T2, and a replaceable Stardust, on my Vision Spinner (ego threaded). You'll probably want to order thread sleeves. They give the setup a cleaner appearance, as well as support the base of your tank. Unfortunately, my phone isn't allowing to post pics this morning and the internet is down. *sigh* I'll try to add in a couple of pics with and without the thread cover later.

By the way, welcome to ECF and congrats!

Thank for the informative reply.

How many wicks etc would you reccomend I order with my Vivi Nova to get me through a few months?


Are the thread sleeves all I need to use it on an eGo-C? How does it attach?

Oh - Another Question please - Whatkind of attachments would I need for my eGo-C to be "Dripping".

Dont understand the concept! Sorry.

I'll let one of the more seasoned vapers answer your question about dripping. I don't know exactly how it works and haven't been inclined to try it.

The base of the Novas screw into the battery where you'd screw in an atomizer or cartomizer. The thread cover will screw down over the exterior threading where you would screw on a cone. You *can* use the nova without it, but the covers are inexpensive, give it a nicer appearance, and make it pretty lanyard friendly.

This link will show you the different covers. I have a Type A for my cartos and clearos, and a Type D for my mini Nova.

I broke the wicks on the stock head 4 days after I got it. I, personally, prefer the 2.8ohm heads over the 2.4ohm ones, but that's just me. I have 5 heads that I rotate out whenever I change flavors. I keep the 4 extras in a little jar of vodka between uses. When I change them out, I grab one out of the jar; rinse, blot, dry burn. Rinse the dirty one well with hot water and drop it in the jar. I typically get 3 tanks of use before my coils start to gunk up. It varies depending on whatever juice I'm vaping at the time. Usually, at that point, I'll swap out coils and flavors.

My fiancé uses a Kanger T2. His has had the same head on it for about 2 weeks, so far. I've heard that, if treated right, they can last a pretty long time. I'm working on building up a stash of at least 3 of everything we like. Backups for your backups. I'm not really saving any money yet, just staying about even since I'm taking what we used to budget for cigs and spending it on vape gear. Just happy to finally have an excuse to shop for fun stuff every week. Lol!

Thanks for the detailed response! I really appreciate it!

Will order my sleeves and tanks now

Anyone can clarify what "Dripping" requires with an eGo-C Setup?

You would need a 510 threaded atomizer and a drip tip. This would connect to your battery. This is the most labor intensive and sometimes messy way to vape. It is in my opinion the most flavorful and satisfying. You would first blow out any primer that may be in a new atomizer (not all atomizers are primed) and put three-five drops of liquid inside to start. Put on drip tip and vape. Usually good for 5-8 "puffs" depending on vaping style. Then repeat with 2-3 drops when flavor/vapor diminishes. I like to remove the drip tip to drip because a lot of times the liquid hangs up in the tip and doesnt reach the bridge. When you go to vape,you'll get a mouthful of liquid.Not pleasant.

The messy part is having to somewhat frequently "blow out" the atomizer. Remove from battery, and blow through into a napkin , paper towel or rag. Some like to clean before changing flavors. I usually just put a new flavor on top of the old and "vape through".
Also, you would want to soak your atomizers in alcohol (not isopropyl) , I use vodka or pure grain alcohol as that helps to loosen buildup on the coil.
There are numerous threads on how to make your atomizer last and perform at its best for as long as possible.
Now ,after that explanation, doesn't dripping sound enticing? Well, it isn't for everyone but is a good technique to learn and master as I stated ,the flavor and vapor are great from dripping. You just always need tissues with you or a microfiber cloth to dab everything clean .
For that reason many are turned off by it.

Thanks for that info! Greatly appreciated!

Congratulations. Very soon, you will even lose the urge for the analog. I am out of analog for 6 months already and not having any urge for it. Good luck.

Its been almost 2 weeks since my eGo-C arrived and I have not had even a single puff of analoge ciggy since!
