**official canvape thread** - Part 2

[ChellyNelly]

Alright guys, I just had one Firebird dump about a ml of juice all over my new Twist Not sure what I did wrong, if anything. It was right after a fill. Perhaps I got an air bubble in there? Maybe I didn't keep it completely and totally upside down the whole time? Maybe I filled it a bit too much? Once the leaking started it wouldn't stop, I had to empty the whole tank out.

Will report back on if it stills gives issues when I put the juice back in. Stay tuned

Bottom coils require a negative internal pressure (i.e. a slight vacuum) to regulate juice flow. Without it, gravity takes over and it all dumps out the bottom. If it dumps, it means a seal has broken and the vacuum is gone. The most likely culprit is the fill hole. If you poke a big enough hole, the little flap of silicone created when you pushed through the fill hole won't be able to hold on to the negative pressure and it'll dump. Try sticking a small bit of something in the fill hole, like the small silicone finger you get in the bottom condom of some cartomizers. If it still dumps, the seal has broken elsewhere, maybe the bottom O-ring or the tube or something.

I have a lot of experience with BCs and they're one of my favourite vapes, so I understand how they work. It isn't dumping now though. I just took the liquid out and put it back in. So perhaps I just pushed some air in there by accident the first time. We're back on track now vaping like a dream

Has anyone tried cinnamon in the fire birds yet. Wondering what the plastic is like before I pull the trigger. I am stuck on a cinn juice right now.

I'm almost certain they're fine. They're not polycarbonate or acrylic or anything, they're closer to the material used in the Fluxomizer tubes and have a bit of give to them so I'd be willing to bet they have no trouble with sour, citrus or cinnamon.

I am sure I read it somewhere in here in the last two or three days. Can anybody please confirm? I would rather chalk this down to bad experience than misrepresentation on my part.

Apologies in advance if I am incorrect.

Dusty - sorry to hear you weren't good to go out of the box. I did little/no tinkering but switched out the heads that the vivis came with (1.8s, but mine measured a little higher as per my previous post) and put on 2.8s. I did pop the head cap off and tug the wicks on each to center the coil since both were a little off-centre. BTW, the resistance is actually stamped on the base of the head.

I find the taste very similar, maaaaybe a hair less powerful, to the short wick SR stardusts I got from canvape except a little warmer using 2.8s (measured 2.7/2.8) between 4.2-4.4v on 18mg Bobas, RAWRs Baccaccino and AV Blend4. I dont have any stardusts on the go to directly compare though so my memory may be romanticising the SDs some...and I havent felt any need/compulsion to refill one its at least that good.

I haven't tried the 1.8s, but mine all measured a little high 1.9-2.0 so I think the one you references is one of those - the stamp will let you know for sure.

Maybe that sailorman dude who I see everywhere has some tips? he's been praising the vivis for a while so seems pretty familiar with them.

Really wish I was more help - I am very pleased with mine. Wish you the best of luck.

edit: I did switch around drip tips -- Im a newb and could be crazy but I swear there is a difference between the SS ones I have and the ones that came with the vivis. I actually went back to the stock ones since the SS were heating up too much with my chain vaping!

 

[martinc]

1 thing is sure,FV hot tamale...dont use in stardusts!

The NOVA's are 2.5 they just have short wicks because that's what they come with if you don't specify long wicks. Just like the stardust V3 that is actually just a V1 with long wicks and all the tubes were updated after a certain production point. So when the long wick replacement heads come in for the SD 2.0 I'm going to call them SD 4.5's Then I'm going to unscrew the top cap on the 2.5's a 1/4 thread and call them V3.0's. 2 days later replace the drip tips with orange one's and call them 3.5's.

I've been vaping on the vivi 1.8ohm at 3.0v for a week on a vmax when I got a dry hit, instead of taking it apart I started vaping it horizontally, GENIUS

 

[Dusty_D]

Dude, I am seriously done with these things. I don't care what version they are. Anybody coming to the vape meet is welcome to the version 1 and 2.5 that I have. I'm going to hang on to the spare heads to see how they do with the Stardusts..

I've spent all evening swapping heads, trying them from one to the other.. and they just don't give me what I expect in a vape.

Chalk this down as my failed experiment with the Vivi's.

Thanks for clarifying the version number though.

When Vivis talk among themselves and they want to know which version they are, they ask, "Where is your hole?". Or at least I assume they do! Lol

As they said in the movie, "Gump, you're a .......n genius!"

Are you declaring this as my gift for showing up to the meet?

I think you have spent too much time dealing with the Chinese sir.

Really I think people have issues with these as they are top coils and do involve a little bit of tipping as your vaping them. Anyone who has used ce2's for some amount of time will never have issues with these as they know how they work.

Get smart people. These are not boge cartos.

Zer0, I've done every kind of aerial acrobatics with these things. Keeping PV flat on the table, vaping with it horizontal. Walking with PV in hand parallel to the floor. Pulling excess wick out. Trimming the long wick versions and fluffing the short wick versions. None of it worked. I have to crank the power down to 3.3 - 3.5v on the Provari to be able to vape without any mutation to flavour. Ofcourse the quality of the vape suffers at that point.

Grrrr...

HotOne may be testing them between now and the meet. So, you may just be in luck.

And we're back to ground zero. I have said this before, Geoffs does not like wicking systems. He is working on altering the "formula" so to speak, and hopefully in the future this will work out. As for tanks, I am using them successfully with GB and the SmokTech cartos (slotted, not punched) and they seem to be working well.

Zer0, the Vivi's are yours. I'll bring you atleast one head to try out with each version.

 

[The White Rabbit]

3ml firebird = heaven!!!!! wonder if a ming would fit? Don't have any of those.... Yet

Nope, a ming doesn't fit either. Small price to pay for such an awesome tank.

 

[Dusty_D]

Zer0.. sorry dude. Can we please hold off for a wee while?! Here's a note I received to my post on TV's forum about the dismal performance of Geoffs Blend on the Vivi's.

"Hey Dusty, don't sell or trade-off those tanks....early R & D on this new GB is showing unbelievably good success on getting rid of the ECD (early carto death). It looks like the clogging problems will soon be a thing of the past!
TVChris"

What say?! Can I buy some more "testing" time before I give you the Vivi's?!

 

[martinc]

What,I`ve been trying the GB in firebirds,extremevizions,tidys,DiD (damn,am I getting addicted to that stuff? D,let me know next time you go for a big batch!--only 90ml left!) and they all like it

To hell with 1942 ghetto cartos...
