I ordered one of the Vivi nova's from Youvape.com for 7.99 and found out before they arrived they were not made by Vision but wanted to try one anyway. So far not having good results. Although they look very similar they are not the same and are not very good. The heads are not the same either so you can't use Vision heads with them. I won't be ordering any more so just a warning to be sure they are Vision Vivi Novas when you order.

Thanks for pointing this out. Their website just calls them Vivi Nova and if you look good at the picture of the heads you can see they're a bit different. There's a metal nipple sticking out the top cap. I HATE, HATE, HATE the same product name being used for different products by different vendors. :mad:

And I hate the same product being called by different names by different vendors. Makes it so hard to try and figure out if it's the same thing or a knock off:(

Yes mam, I agree...my tired old brain is having a heck of time keeping up with all these silly names. Why don't they just quit the BS and call a Shovel a Shovel. Guess I'm too easily confused, maybe that's the plan. :laugh:

Oh good Deb. Let me know if it fits. That was the thing I was concerned about, whether just buying tips would work with other bottles. I've got a bunch of other empty bottles I could use tips on, but didn't want to order just a couple unless I already had an order in the works. Now that I'm using the mini novas a lot I could really use some of those tips regularly.

Thanks Deb. At least I'll have the 4 tips with 30 mil bottles that I'm getting in the co-op that I know will go together. I'll probably order some needle tops in future orders and see if they'll fit some of the other bottles I have. Mike saves everything so we have a lots of bottles. I need to use the smaller ones if we're going to be flying.

I been hoping the ones I got on order fit!!!

I bet if you've saved a bunch of bottles they're bound to fit some of them. At least the tips are not something that's expensive.

I've used baking soda or alcohol to clean out our bottles that seem to retain the smell of the juice that was in them. Do you know if there's anything better than that to clean bottles? It seems the tobacco flavors have a very strong smell.

Sorry they didn't work out for you Tx, but at least you were able to warn the rest of us. Sometimes knockoffs work out fine... At least you only got 1 to try.

They just do that to snag your money. Unfortunately, then people think the real ones are a bad deal. Let the Buyer Beware.

    I sort of gave up using bottles and started using a syringe and gave most of my bottles way on PIF. Now I wish I'd kept a few more!!!

    Something tells me you'll be getting more bottles. They seem to multiply on my table when I'm not looking. If I ever get to the point where I DIY I'm probably going to need some of them so I'm not going to complain about Mike wanting to save what we've accumulated.
