Newb with a question

[Theadjustor]

Hello all, I have been using my new e cig for a couple weeks now and overall I have been extremely satisfied with it. I had been a pack a day smoker for about five years and was able to quit the cigs with little effort thanks to my e-cig.

I am still new to this and have a few questions/concerns. First off I am using an eGo-c (I guess that's what it's called, I will try to include a picture) with a vivi nova tank. I wanted to try a new flavor ejuice so I cleaned out the tank and I think I must have screwed something up because now that I have reassembled it and put in the new juice it is producing considerably less vapor than it was before I cleaned it. Even the high setting is producing less vapor than the low setting was before. I'm not sure what the problem is so I find myself here hoping you can offer me some advice on what I may have done wrong. The juice I am using is the same as what I was using before except it is a different flavor of course, and I reduced the level of nicotine from 24mg to 20mg.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Is it an optical illusion or do you really have the tank completely full?

I find that different flavors vape differently lol. I use the ego c with the stock tanks. If i switch flavors with the same nic level I've noticed that some just don't have the same intensity.

Hi and welcome to ECF. After washing it did you dry everything including the wicks? Is the Vivi Nova a genuine Vision brand? Realize also part of the maintenance is something called "dry burning". Here's a long but great vid about Vivi maintenance.

Did you let the wicks of the vivi nova dry completely before putting it all back together?

I am new to all of this to so i dont know how much help i will be , is your tank maybe to full? also if you have a diffrent Vg/Pg ratio on your new juice it will produce a diffrent ammount of vapor.

I just got my ego kit yesterday.. and i was wondering what would be the best pg/vg ratios to use with my wickless clearo's??? any help is greatly appreciated

this is my current setup:
Wickless CE4 Clearomizer for eGo
Ego electronic cigarette

Agree with above posts. You cant fill above the bottom of the silicone. If its too full the excess juice will hinder the amount of vapor till the level drops lower. Also those wicks need to be dry or at least towel dry. Dry burn the coil after cleaning just till you see the hint of red coming from the coil.

Its pretty tough to screw up on a nova. Lol.

Thanks for the replies. The video isn't loading on my phone so I'll take a look when I get home. The tank isn't completely full in the pic, it's actually less than half full. I made that mistake once lol. If its a true vision brand im not sure I don't have the box in front of me right now but the vivi nova came in this little black box with two extra wicks 1.8 & 2.8 ohms as well as the 2.4 which was already in it. I did towel dry the wick before putting it back together and I dry burned it for a few seconds which I was told to do by a friend who has been using his for a while now. I'm not sure what the pg/vg ratio is on this flavor or the last one I had. I got them at a place called freedom smoke USA and I just got the "standard" juice I guess. I didn't request any certain pg/vg ratio or anything. Could they have given me a different ratio since I didn't specify?

I didn't request a specific ratio because I honestly don't know what it means so is there something I could read to familiarize myself with that?

Here's the difference between the knockoff and the genuine Vivi:

I'm fairly new to this also, but from what you have said so far there are lots of things that could give the symptoms you describe. It may just be normal for the second flavor to produce less vapor. Generally higher VG produces more vapor than higher PG, my own experience with most liquids that I have tried so far has been that the lighter ones also produce more vapor, not necessarily more flavor though. If you're getting good flavor just enjoy and who cares about the vapor.

Yea mine is definitely genuine then. Thanks!
