Hey all I'm Matt I'm new to this forum and quite new to e cigarettes. I've been a smoker to analogs for about 8 years anywhere from 14-30 analogs a day. And a great friend who works at the tobacco shop recommended for me to buy an e-cig which I did so. I currently have a LAVA personal e liquid tank and am awaiting arrival of my v2 cig standard kit.

Now like most new people or some may call newbies I've encountered basically the most common problems with my lava.
#1 being the burnt taste now I got a relatively new vivi nova tank mini 2.5 which the coils & or wick started giving me a burnt taste literally unbearable and it's only 2 days old how must this be? I didn't get liquid in the center and I've looked for gunk, leakage, and found nothing.

So today I went back to wild bills and just bought a lava clearomizers or whatever the tank you call it where you put liquid into and so far no issues.

I strongly believe the vivi nova mini 2.5's burn the wick very easily but that's from my only experience.

Now I hear mixed views about the v2 but I've tried the disposable one at my local gas station and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I hear it's the #1 brand and then I hear bad reviews. I guess it comes down to preference.

So today I've been smoke free since I woke up at 11am and it's now 4:51pm I'm pretty amazed especially with someone with an addictive personality as addiction runs on both sides of the family.

Sorry this was a long 1st post but I wanted to give a little introduction about myself, and where I'm at now. I would love to be a loyal member to this community. Thank you for reading.

Welcome and Congrats on your smoke free day :)

I have a vivi nova, I havent ever gotten burnt wicks on it. Was it a fresh fill that hadnt wicked yet? Or maybe super low tank? As it gets low I kind of tilt and swirl a little to make sure I help the liquid wick properly. I rarely use the vivi as its super easy to maintain and my OH has taken it over. All he seems to be able to do is use it till it slows on vapor performance for a cleaning once I showed him to tilt as it gets low.

Hope this helps!

It was brand new I let the liquid soak for about 30 minutes had about 2-3 clean hits then bam burnt taste. Maybe manufacturer defect could it be? And I filled it to where it should be on the tank. Never got liquid in the middle. So I just bought another tank for $5.99 so far no problems yet. That vivi tank had a great mechanism to it maybe I'll get a new one.

Hi and welcome to ECF.

For the record, it doesn't really matter what other people say about V2 if it works for you and you are satisfied! Vaping is a very personal hobby and everyone has different tastes and needs. Once you have something that works for your own tastes, then it doesn't matter what others think of your selections.
