Problem with Asire Mini ViVi Nova

[balbrt1]

I got 2 of them in Jan/Feb. loved them until about a week ago. They separate from the metal ring and gets everywhere. I do not vape the juice that melts the plastic. I had one in my pocket and it got all overme and my clothes..anyone else had this? I got 2 of the Aspire ET's at the same time and those work great. Thanks for any help

Yup... same happened to me last Friday. But it was my fault.. I literally dropped it outside. When I got home, I cleaned it up and jammed it back together. It doesn't seem to leak tho. Miraculously, the plastic didn't crack. There is a tiny gap from base to metal ring, but not sure if it was always there.

I actually bought two ET's and two Mini Novas. I have found I like the MN's much better. Zero issues after several months. The ET's on the other hand do not like to go lower than 1/3 full and gurgle and leak at that point. Then I have to remove the base and throughly clean it and blow any excess liquid out and refill. As I have sais before moot point having a bigger 3ml tank if you can only utilize 2ml at a time. I think I am just gonna stick to tanks in the 2.5ml and under range from here on out.

Yes, my son bought several ETs and major leakage problems. He drilled out the pin in the bottom with a 1/16rh bit and that fixed the problem for us. Dunno if that will work for you but fixed all of the ones we have here, we get a slight gurgle every once in a while but one puff and it goes away and no leaking so far and has been 3 days since these were drilled.

I have more than leakage. The MN comes apart at the 2 metal collars on the bottom. I have tried to tap them together but they work apart anyway

I have been fortunate, I have 1 of each of the ET, Mini, Nova, and one of the others. :/
All behave the same, gurgle when almost empty. The big difference is cosmetic, and capacity. They all seem to vape the same to me. None have leaked more than a drop, usually when it starts to gurgle.

My Favorites ATM are the big Nova for capacity and my old mini T3's.

Hmm, I guess I just got a good batch of the ET's. I bought one and used it for a month (still using it) and I liked it so much I got 2 more. Used them for a month. No leaks whatsoever. And I vape them till they are almost empty without any gurgling or problems and not once have any of them leaked. They are my all time favorites now. I really like how much liquid they hold and they vape wonderful.

Stainless steel ET has been fabulous on my SI MVP--looks great and no problems at all, I will stick with this set up. MN, on the other hand, gave me the same problem u guys have mentioned, came apart at the base between the knurled and shiny metals. I put it back together, and same thing happened again. I finally squeezed it back together tightly with a pair of pliers and no more problem, but I don't use it much anymore bc I don't trust it!

I have tried all of the new Aspire line and only had problems with the T3 as the top portion was not glued on well and popped off. No leaks with any of them. To me, the Mini nova has a harsher vape than the others, so that one will not be used as much. The Maxi (although the least esthetically pleasing) seems to have the best vape next to the ET. so when the others heads go south, I won't replace them. They will get tossed and I will stick with the ET and the Maxi.

my mini separated twice now. Guess its an at home only tank now.
Now if any of the dang coild would be in stock.....out of old t3 and the new ones. garrr

Yeah. They're press-fitted. So they're gonna come apart if forced. Happens a lot with 2 of my 4. SI basically told me to pound salt or buy a reg sized vivi nova (screw-fitted).

This coupled with the fact that they are the only supplier of the mini heads (that aren't in stock ever) and I'm ready to say goodnight to SI.
