Oh Man!! I wish all questions were this easy.

First of all, the Vtube kit is the best deal currently avialbale anywhere, so don't waste your time hunting around. Use the discount code Vtube30 and grab a stainless or chrome one while you still can.

They come with one battery. you'll need a spare. Go to Orbtronic.com and get the 2250mah Panasonic CGR18650CH. Get the gray one for $8 shipped. Don't get the spare battery on Apollo's site. It's o.k., but this one's cheaper and better.

Next, go to Gotvapes.com and get a Vivi Nova 2.5 Tank. Better yet, get a few of them. They're that good.

Then, pick up a box of 5 Fluxomizers from the same site. Get the 2.6-2.8ohm Fluxomizer Supreme XLs.

Other than juice, that's all you'll need for the next couple months. Fluxos last a very long time. The Vivi Novas have replaceable coil heads. Pick up an aluminum tank or two for the Vivi if you use real acidic juice like cinnamon.

Then get ready for some sweet, leak free, trouble free vaping.

I have 2 of them and I use a 510 to eGo adapter and CE4+ clearomizers (V2 long wick stardusts). The ViVi Nova tank is getting pretty good reviews but they're already up to V2.5 and it's only been out a short time...

The only reason that they're up to V2.5 is because Gotvapes ordered them made according to their own specifications. Nobody else has the V2.5. Unlike the V2, the V2.5 wasn't done to correct a problem. Gotvapes wanted longer wicks and a particular plastic formulation that was more crack resistant then the standard polycarbonate.

So, in this case, a quick revision doesn't imply that there was some problem that needed to be corrected. It was a matter of Gotvapes wanting certain custom features, just like they did with the fluxomizers. Gotvapes named them V2.5, not Vision. It's kind of misleading in a way. If Gotvapes wasn't such a big Vision customer, they probably wouldn't be getting away with it.

It's as if I wanted a tweaked version of Windows and Microsoft made it for me, then I released it for sale under the name of Windows 7.5.

Thanks for the explanation. GV is not doing the vaping community any favors with the custom names & versions though - just confuses most folks. I actually ordered some Fluxomizers based on a previous post you made, hope they work as good for me. I love the CE3s but the needle fill can be a pain in the .......

Yeah, it's confusing as hell. I'm still not sure whether the Fluxomizers are available under a generic name. They probably are, but there is some little difference, so I'll keep using the Fluxos just in case that's the one feature that makes them work so well. I'm sure that's why GV does what they do. It's actually pretty clever in a diabolical sort of way.

The CE3's were my clearos of choice until I found the Fluxos. I got used to the needle fill, but getting the wick back in the little hole after cleaning was getting harder and harder. And, they had a tendency to leak when the juice level got low. I still have a whole box of them I haven't even opened since I got the Fluxos.

it would be better to have a device to inject liquid to the atomizer,you can search" EGO CE5 catomizer 10ml eliquid marlboro flavor and add eliquid bottle", the atomizer will let you see the liquid. the bottle with needle can let you inject liquid to your atomizer. good device.

Yes, but the OP is looking to get a Vtube, not an eGo. The Vivi Nova requires no needle to fill. You just unscrew the cap and dump the juice in, straight from the bottle. The Vtube is light years ahead of any ego type battery. A Vtube and a vivi Nova is a combination that's very hard to beat or the price. There is no other fully re-buildable atomizer tank on the market for less than 5 times the price and no atomizer tank that performs as well for any price.

Just ordered a pair of ViVi Nova's from them as well. Convenience is becoming the most important aspect of vaping to me. I want to be able to fill up the device without hassle and vape without leaks...

I can't believe how leakproof these are. I'm using a metal tank now. I can't make this thing leak or flood, no matter what I do. Turn it on it's side or upsided down, and shake it around. Still no leaks. With a drip tip on it, I think it's pocketable even.

Mine leaked on a flight back from Amsterdam yesterday but then cabin pressure makes a lot of things leak. My toothpaste exploded too!
