Check the silicone cap to see if the metal flat piece inside is down and the funnel part is butting up to drip tip hole. Also make sure the head (coil+ wick) is screwed on tightly. The long wick Vivi are great but the short wick need to be tilted every so often to keep the wicks saturated.
Edit: Standard eGos are 3.3-3.4 volts.
I had some vision rebuildables that were burny. Even melted the mouthpiece. I would stand at kitchen sink and start them up and I'd be engulfed, and I mean engulfed in smoke. And I don't mean vapor, I mean smoke. 1.8 Visions w/long wicks. Changed out the attys and no difference. I think some stuff is just defective from the factory, sometiimes whole lots, plain and simple.
I then washed one, dryburned it, then put the new atty on and even trimmed the wicks......same thing.
There was no saving these things...it was just a bad lot, all 5 of them were like this!
So, I won't
buy any vision stuff anymore, clearos or vivi.......it's actually what drove me to a bottom feeder, so I'm kinda glad it happened now.
