Good to hear about you not noticing the color change with the mini!!

I just got two on order.

I did make a cotton wick for the Vivi Nova this morning before putting it back together. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I think it helped. As for flavor, I did add a bit more to my mix and now I've got the sweet spot of just being able to taste it. :)

I've noticed with the ce4's my cinnamon roll flavor gets darker but the flavor is the same, it don't do it with my mint flavor or bluehoney, the kanger T2's dont do it to any of my flavors.

Morning just one day. :)

I don't know...maybe a little of both. I got some Ts and it will be interesting if they do the same thing.
I want to get some rolled cotton before trying them again though.

It gets darker in the CE2 too. Have you used some of the older model CE or just the CE4?

careful what you put lemonade flavors in they are known to crack the older ce4's, they say it won't do it to the newer ce4's, but I was reading some caramel apple cracked some. If I was to guess i would say it is the acid in the flavoring.

I sure did Fran...Lemme see here, I got Black Mile, Peppermint, Menthol, Blackberry. For my lemon, I decided to try Lemonade - hope I don't regret that one.

Have some more I want to get, but those hadda wait til next order :D

My juice turns colors in the VN also. Gets dark and tastes different. IDK why...thought it was my imagination! I have started filling mine only about half way, but then I have to lay them on their side to keep the wick wet.

I think there's some caramelization, but also, I think the flavor concentrates a bit too. I'd think the cinnamon would do that faster because it's a more intense flavor.

I personally don't like the Vivi. I have a mini and to me it mutes the flavor of my juice. I haven't noticed color change though.

I was shocked that my long wick mini vivi novas had NO flavor at first. Took well into the 2nd tank, but now it's great. I'll be cutting all my wicks shorter. Same thing happened with the cotton wick Mike made for me, but didn't take as long for the flavor to come through. So, don't give up on your vivi too soon. My short wick one now tastes as good to me as dripping.

Hey y'all! I haven't caught up on anything. Finally just got my phone and internet fixed. They've been out about a week! Sure did miss everyone

And here I thought you finally fell asleep and were making up for lost time! We have come to rely on our internet haven't we? Don't know what I'd do without mine.

When my internet was down for a few days..I packed a lunch and my laptop..And spent the day at the library..
Wish I would have been vaping then..wouldn't have to have taken smoke breaks:D

lol Janet! Oh man, I wouldn't be able to move if I slept for a week.

hehehe mul.....no laptop and no car, so that wouldn't have worked. No tv either, so I feel really outta the loop with everything. But I'll get caught up. Yeah it's amazing how much we rely on this technology. Mostly I just really missed all y'all!

We missed you too Deb! Wondered where you were hiding and glad to have ya back online.
I got my Mini Vivi today and it is very sturdy and well made. It vapes very good for me with my juice and the flavor is good. The only negative I have is the amount of juice it holds. I don't know why they use such a big post it would probably hold at least a half ml more with a sninnier post. I like it though and it is the best built tank of this size I've seen.:)

I was able to get that self tapping saddle valve 1/4". Went back to the hardware store..I knew they had to have it. I found it after about 20 minutes of searching and two clueless employees attempting to help. They were in the wrong area and mislabeled!! Go figure!
I was thinking about getting one also but from what I have read they get dull pretty quick and can deform your carto. The Phiniac tool looks to be well made and easy to use. V2 Cartomizer Punch - Phiniac Rugged Pyrex Glass Tanks I am going to order one when I order my tank.

Thanks Tx. Are you getting any better flavor from the mini than the reg size? I get pretty great flavor from the bigger one and I really like the size of the bigger one, so haven't tried a mini yet.

I did try some MBV juices, and wow, really hoping these improve. There was no flavor hardly out of the box, and I got an extra flavor shot. One seems to be getting a bit better after close to a week. One I haven't tried yet. I really want these to be good, and if they really need a lot of steeping, it would still be worth it for the price, but I've not had anything from anywhere else yet that I couldn't vape right away even if it did get better with steeping. I'll give it some more time and see how it is, but really not impressed as of right now. And I was really hoping I would be.
