Got mine on Saturday and I can tell you that a stronger pair of reading glasses
is in order to work on this. I must be out of my depth, where does the juice go?:oops:

I hear ya on the reading glasses! Fill hole is under one of the Philips heads (larger ones) or at least it looks like a Philips head from your pic. thats a nice looking wick :toast:

Amen - yepper - there isn't a lot of working room. Those Chinese must have small fingers and good eyes. And yep again - what DEV said, take one of the screws out of the tank to fill 'er up. You'll likely need to leave it out so air gets back into the tank as the juice is used up. I'm thinking about knocking out the smaller press fit post for the negative connection and use the smaller hole left behind as a filler hole. The screw hole is gigantic to leave open.

Ok now it's coming together. I couldn't figure out what the hell those two screws
were for.

Just wanted to thank all of you who have so generously provided guidance and giggles since I stumbled upon this great thread.

Thinking about an RBA...but will first try rebuilding a Vivi Nova...so I'll probably be begging for some assistance soon. :)

To each and every one of you....

Whoot! I'm on the leading edge. I just scored one of these. It's called a Nivel Chip, being made by a modder in Russia. It allows for variable voltage or variable wattage control of a PV.

ssshhh! Don't tell Janet, she doesn't know yet.

The USA distributor for The Nivel Chip will be my guest on Click, Bang! Tuesday January 1st at 9PM EST.

In our interview, he will discuss all of the relevant details for buying The Nivel Chip. Nivel chips will begin shipping on January 2nd.

I've thought about that. My 3ml Vivi has been a worthless, leaking headache from day one but the mini
is a trooper. I might research into transforming the mini into a powerhouse.

That's a bummer about the 3ml Nova leaking. Hopefully we'll both learn how to recoil the Novas to be vaping beasts. :)

My problem with the Novas is that they're juice hogs. Not so bad when you're using cheap DIY juice...but when it's filled with nearly $1/mil vendor juice my frugal Scottish gene kicks in and I start looking for an alternative.

The Kanger T3 doesn't gobble juice...but it just doesn't give me the flavor I'm looking for. So I revert back to the CE3s for the expensive vendor juices.

What new skill did you attain in 2012 Gloria? Well...I can fill a CE3 with my eyes closed. :blush:

Old Curmudgeon, I had a Vivi Nova leak when I changes the heads, it was like a faucet. Kept fiddling with it and finally out of the blue it quit leaking. Not sure what I did but it's been running a couple of months now like a champ. I think I found that as long as I kept the liquid below the head connection to the post, all was well with it.
