Newbie question, ZAP vs. VIVI

[MAD_MAX333]

New here guys and had a question...

after much research I settled on provari and ordering it after this post...now, I wanna get a bunch of different attys and carts and such to play around with since im new, see if i like dripping or a cart system, BUT I sort of heavily leaning towards a tank system as I like to have a lot of juice handy and available at all times.... So I decided to wait for the ZAP from provape but its 150 bux! so I also looked at the VIVI nova 2.5 3.5ml 2.8ohm... which is MUCH cheaper.... and seems like it would be sort of rebuild-able.

Can someone tell me what is the benefit of all the extra cash for the ZAP?does it perform better? easier or more geared towards rebuilding? better fit and finish?

ZAP is sold out till the 6th so I sort of dont wanna wait till then to MAYBE be able to order one (if it isnt sold out in hours) when i can just order the provari now and get it out the door come monday so i can have it sooner if vivi would work fine.

Thank you!!!!!!!!! and these forums are an insane source of knowledge so thank you all!

the vivi is a tank clearomizer and can be rebuilt but you can buy replacement heads all day long,, the zap is a genesis atomizer and HAS to be rebuilt using steel mesh and wire.

the vivi will be fill it and go. the ZAP will not be as leakproof and will take sometime to get running correctly. if you do not feel ready to start rebuilding and playing with wire coils and such then just get a vivi and try the zap later when you decide that that type of system might interest you.

perfect... thank you so much, I will get a vivi and a bunch of cheaper toys for now, ZAP will wait till i can get better!

I made a picture dictionary of the common juice delivery devices here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...k-what-primer-juice-delivery-attachments.html
It includes a brief description, pictures, and videos of several devices.

The ZAP is a high end rebuildable atty tank. I'd recommend starting out with one of the less expensive Genesis RBA's before spending the big bucks on a Zen Atty Pro, just to see if you can handle it first. These are advanced systems not generally recommended for new vapors. Something more affordable is the popular AGA-T for $25-30.

I'd recommend something simple like a vivi nova tank. Easy to fill and use. You should also look into a carto tank at some point before getting into RBA's.

The ZAP was specifically designed to look great on a Provari. Z-ATTY-PRO Rebuildable Atomizers For ProVari - YouTube

I just got a ZAP!!!
was using the vivi before but if you can get one buy it! Not hard to set up and the taste is amazing, beautiful finish and build and it looks like it will last forever. I put it off for a long time and I wish I would have just bought it first it would have saved me a lot of money.
BUT the AGA would be a better start its cheaper and you can get your rebuild skills up to the task. IMO its not that hard once you understand how its supposed to be set up. but I really have to say its the best vape I have had and I am happy with it.

Currently using a vivi nova and I'm thinking of upgrading to a Zap later on. at 13 bucks, it's not that bad. Really easy to clean and refill when you need to. 13 bucks to 150 is a big gap.

If your interest is into Genesis style atomizers, I would highly suggest getting a DID clone or an AGA-T+ as a starter. it works pretty much the same as a ZAP, and it is as cheap as a Vivi Nova.

Happy to hear that, just bought a zen mini ss today! can't wait to start improving on my RBA game

I wouldn't recommend the ZAP honestly, there are much better Genesis style RBA's available out there. I'm ordering a Cobra soon and from everything I have researched its far superior to the ZAP.

I got to try a Cobra at a local shop the other day...the draw is tighter than the Zen Atty...but it hit hard. I liked it better than the Zen I tried out.
