Smok Vivi Nova

[rabernet]

What the heck am I doing wrong with these tanks? Got a S.I.D which for the most part I enjoy, and picked up a matching Vivi Nova just like these - same window style:

SmokTech Pyrex 3.5ml ViVi Nova Tank

Right out the door - worked great (picked it up at my local B&M), and I happily vaped away - enough that before I emptied it, picked up another so I could change out the tanks with different juices.

After ONE tank on each of them, I start getting dry hits (after I've re-filled them). I've cleaned them, dry burned them, changed out heads, they just don't work like they did out the door.

I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love how they look with my S.I.D. - I hate that I'm constantly having to tip them between almost every vape to avoid dry hits. I even cut small v's on either side of the top head gasket to try to allow better wicking - nope - didn't help a bit. Phil Busardo seems to love the vivi tanks - maybe they're not all created equally?

Soon my current gear will likely be back up gear, because I sprang for a Reo and RM2, which I imagine will be my mod of choice, and I thought of Pif'ing the S.I.D. to one of my co-workers, but I want to be able to ensure they have a good vaping experience, I just hate to throw these tanks and extra unused atty heads away.

I'm using my Protank II's on the S.I.D. now.

So, I'm the only one who has this problem with this tank?

I've only ever used the original Vision (for about a year now) without issue. One thing I do is trim the wicks short, just a little more than the width of the tank. Also unravel, fluff up the wicks, pulling some of the fluffed wick inside the coil. Tipping my PV to take a vape is enough to keep the coil fed. Never could figure why everyone was bending at the waist over their PV to vape in any case...
