You can make Vivi head last for months if you only put less than a ml through it per day :) .... Seriously I don't know how you can make it last months .... LOL Try to put 4ml of coffee flavor through it per day, I bet you it still works after 2 weeks but taste like craps and not efficient at all.

I vape all kinds of stuff including coffees, tobaccos (including some NETs) and dark juices. That has nothing to do with how long the coil lasts. Rather, it affects how fast they gunk up with crud. The key is cleaning them and dry burning the gunk off of them. I know how to do it in a way that works for me, and they last a LONG time.

I think vivi novas are the best thing since sliced bread. They are the only thing I have found that don't leak and give a consistent performance. Mine last an average of two weeks, but I'm not that great about cleaning them.

For the OP, I had mine for a month or two and just used the pre-bought heads, and it was a good deal. I got interested in rebuilding them with cotton wick because of the possible health issues with silica wick. I bought an ohms tester, kanthal wire, and some cotton candle wick. I watched a few videos and voila! Rebuilding them is really pretty easy, and the cotton wick tastes even better!

For $15 it's a steal. And if it doesn't work for you then you're not out too much.

Good luck!

this is yet another reason i do not recommend the vivi nova to noobs. quite frankly its a device meant to be an introduction to rebuildables, if you aren't rebuilding a nova, it's technically cheaper to buy cartomizers...

$3 every 1-2 months or $~1 at least once a week. That's the life I got out of the two, respectively. VN wins value, hands down.

a carto costs 1.50 and can be used just as long as a head if you take the same amount of care cleaning it

How do you clean a carto? Soaking/boiling doesn't work, and you can't dry-burn them.

You rinse & dry burn it after every 1-2 tanks. I haven't had a head die before the 1-month mark. More than one has lasted 2 months.

This is how you make a Vivi head last at least 6 weeks.

It's easy to do and replaceable heads are very cheap if it's messed up.

Bing.
