If nobody has mentioned it yet, the istick 20w is over powered. It fires a almost a full volt higher than what the display says. So even set at the lowest setting it may still be too much for the nova to handle. I can't use mine on anything less than the nautilus. Luckily this problem was fixed for the 30w and 50w versions of the device. Seems like nobody ever mentions the fact that the 20w fires way too hot for most beginner setups and just sells the thing then everyone tries to figure out why everything tastes like melted computer parts. The nova is an older tank so I'm assuming that the problem is the overload on power. Hope I could help a bit.

You should really enjoy your GS-AIR atop your istick20. I have that set-up and it works very well. Most everyone of my other toppers taste burnt when I use them with my istick20's even at the lowest settings. I have read that it has something to do with the way it handles the power. I recently upgraded to a couple of istick30's and I love them. I can crank up the power to what ever I need for the perfect vape with whatever topper I use on them. I only use GS-AIRS on my istick20's now.
Thanks! I can't wait to get it I'll let you know how it works out

I started on that tank (Vivi Nova) with 1.8 coil head. It is a top feeding device so what i found is after a couple vapes twirl it with the drip tip pointing downward to help the wicking. I had mine set at 7w to 9w. Hope this helps.

No, she's using the newer Vivi Nova with the bottom coil, not the originals.

But accurate advice for any of the top coil toppers! :thumb:
