New member with some questinos.

Hello everyone. I am 30 years old and have been a pack a day smoker for about 15 years. Finally decided to kick the habbit. I just received my ego twist, and vivi nova tank system, and juice. My question is.. What do i do now? Do i need to clean out the vivi nova before using and if so, how do i go about doing that? Also, I got the 18mg nicotine. Should that be adequate for me? Thanks for any advice!

Some people rinse and dryburn for a few seconds to burn off any residue that might be on there. Mine have always been fine right out of the box. I just fill it and vape. Just don't fill it up all the way, only to where the top of the wicks are.

Hi Gcdrag,
Welcome to ECF, glad you made the choice to quit smoking. I never cleaned out my vivis when getting them, I guess if your more comfortable with it, go ahead and take the top and bottom off and rinse under hot water. The vivi nova might be the easiest to clean. When changing flavors or every few day, take the top and bottom off, fill a bowl with the hottest water your tap will provide, remove the head (part with the wick, rinse that under hot water) throw it all in the bowl (head, shaft, tank and upper and lower threads) and let it soak for 10 or so minutes. Then put the head on the shaft (dry off as best you can of course) and dryburn the coils. Dry burning is a way to remove the old juice that has gunked up on the head. So just put the vivi on your twist without the tank and top and hit the button for a second or 2 until you see the coils glow and no longer smell or see smoke from the coils.
Put back together, fill with juice and your good to go. The wicks do take a few mins to wick the juice back into the head.

everyones different when it comes to nic levels. i was at just under a pack a day and i currently vape 12mg juice. one piece of advice i give to anything new to vaping is stay well hydrated. it helps to not get nic'd out.

I think its hard to judge nic levels. I find my smoking habbits changed when I can smoke indoors!

Gc also remember to adjust the twist to the resistance of the head your using,I thought my nova was not working when I got it but was not adjusting the volts correctly.It usually comes with the 2.4 head on it so that would be 4.0 and a little higher on the Twist for proper vaping.
