Real or knock off Vivi nova

[iad77]

Just bought this from a new shop near me, 11.99. Just wanted to be sure it's a real one.... Took a couple of photos, any feedback would be great!

Thats a good question. The box looks similar to the one I got from vape Escape but mine doesn't say Vivi Nova on it anywhere, just a graphic of some smoke/vapor. Would be interested in discovering a way to tell the difference.

Looks real.
Where'd ya buy it and I can check.

Got it from vaper trails in bournemouth. Their website is vapertrail.co.uk

Packaging looks correct, but the tank and caps don't. The knurled base is very low on the Nova version 2.5...maybe 1/8"? That base looks much taller, and so does the cap. If you go to this web site you can compare:

Hmm, I just checked the site where I bought mine, and nowhere does it state Vision, so looks like Vape Escape may be selling knock-offs Understandably, it doesn't state it's a Vision, so only myself to blame I guess.

thats a bootleg nova homie...as long as it works who cares

 

[DMAudio]

Why would you want a cheap and potentially inferior copy of something, that costs the same as the genuine item? Plus, if you owned the patent for the product, I'm damn sure you would care!

Thing is it wasn't cheap ! 11.99 .... sure it's cheaper online. But I wanted it right away .... then bought my first 4 liquids from them too ... got the nova as I've only got the one Ce4 clearo' and some used innokin carts.

Might just take it back without using it and get a refund ....

thats not a real one , the real one
1) box have vivi nova colourful logo
2) box is smaller even on the large tanks
3) vivi nova printed on the tank are just printed as ( VIVI NOVA ) no extras wordings , same as their metal ring ( see pic below )
4) the orginal packing must be a perfect fit

V1, V2, V2.5 are the same lay out including box

The wicks don't look long enough I would say knockoff IMO

 

[fehk2001]

yours is a mini, pic showing above are larger tanks

 

[inanitydefined]

Did y'all look carefully at the OPs posts? That's obviously a mini, not a full size. Last I checked there are no knock off minis yet. You're good.

get your money back mate,that looks nothing like mine;which is a genuine vision vivi.

I beg to differ...

It doesn't say Vision, Vivi, Mini, or Nova anywhere on the product, the packaging, and the seller website call it a Mini Nova....just not a 'Vision' Mini Nova.

I highly doubt Vape Escape would sell knock-offs.

Well I bit the bullet and filled it last night, used it throughout the day and it's perfectly fine. Good amount of vapor, good taste. So it's fine for me. Got a fine Butterscotch eliquid along with a caramel, vanilla and a Ry4 (tastes wierd, kinda burnt ?)

Thats from a local store, prices were a little higher than online but I badly wanted some new flavors as menthol and plain tabacco were getting boring !!

Might go for another 2 clearomizers so i can carry 4 different liquids with me, also what is the best method for trying a few drops of a new flavor ? are there tips with a "pocket" ?

cheers from a noobie !!
