HI
New to the forum.
Bought a Nuvo cig as a impulse.
Should have tried it first. Guess I assume they are all the same.

problem is, not getting much vapor.
taste is not so great.
reading alot here. but getting confused.
looked on NUvos website. no mention of using any liquid with the cig.

are the cart. from other suppliers compatible with this unit? to try to imrpove flavor.

Sorry to say that Nuvo is not a good brand but just an after market knock-off of a cheaply made device. Plus it is an auto battery model which the vast majority on this and other vaping forums do not recommend. I would strongly suggest you start over with a better device because of the frustration you will continue to have with this model. I would suggest the Riva 510 as a good beginner PV (personal vaporizer). Liberty Flights has them for $30 (click on 20% off button). They are the size of a very slim cigar, have a battery that will last about 5 hours and that is manual (small button) so you control the warmth of the vapor. Plus, unlike auto batteries, manual batteries are sealed so no liquid can leak into the battery and kill it.

I would get several bottles of eliquid to find one you like and start out at 24mg nicotine level inorder to make the transition to vaping. Here is their site:

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510

Remember:

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance.

If Nuvocig is about 9.5mm diameter then it is probably an RN4081 judging by the look of the atomizer. That is the same model some 7-11's sell as Njoy 2-n-1 or Njoy Npro. You can refill the carts. If it is RN4081 then you can get parts at AZSMokeFree.com, Vaporkings.com. Aquavaporcig, Njoy. There are also cartomizers.

Regardless of what it is you can refill the carts. There is stuffing in the cart somewhere and you can add juice to it. Just be very careful because you have AUTO batteries and those are easy to damage or kill with juice leaks. If you determine you do have RN4081 then AZSMokeFree sells manual batteries for it and some of the other places I listed sell both blank carts and blank cartomizers (cartomizers are disposable self-contained atomizer+cart).

If it is RN4081 then it is an ok mini, less popular than 510 manual or KR8080D-1/vapor4Life manual.

thanks for that info.
Its a little disappointing to know the more it looks like a cigarette the worse off the performance.


I tried a "totally vapor" today.
Only a couple puffs.
But there was a huge difference in amount of vapor and feel. They had the button.
cant say for sure about the taste. Only a couple puffs.
but thats all in what liquid you use right???

these were $99. the white version looked like a cigarette.
dont have much experience with all the other models to compare with.

If you are looking for an e cig that looks like a real cig, that will change after you've been vaping on it for awhile. They just don't give you the vapor, flavor, TH and battery life like the big better e cigs. Someone suggested the Riva. The ego is the same as the Riva. They are both very good starter e cigs. If I had started with one of these I would have saved myself a ton of money. You'll discover that looks take a back burner to performance. As far as looks go, I thing the Riva & ego are very attractive. I use the CE2 cartomizers in my ego for improved flavor since there is no wicking material to ruin/subdue the taste.
