I have noticed that with use, the taste drops off on the vivi's. I am having better luck with the Titan I got. I have VERY high hopes for the Raven. The Vivi will rock for awhile on a new head...but after cleaning, the taste is not as strong.


i need a solution for my vivi nova lack of taste.. this doesn't sound like there is one.. I have very little taste with it. I am kind of shocked because my vision stone tank had the best taste yet.. why take the step back?

Yeah I am noticing that too. Except for really strong flavors like Wintergreen Candy and Cinnamons. Which sucks because I love these things. The new ST Vivi tank /HyperSRT is actually pretty good and so far no drop in flavor or muted. So they have so far replaced my favorite which was the Vivi. The strange thing is in the lil Mamas with a boge carto the taste is so different. Not worse, not better just different.

They are a custom tank that uses boge cartos instead of a normal dct tank. have to punch your own holes and all that jazz.

ah...thank you...you never stop learning in this hobby! I have found, after trying the clear and fillerless type delivery systems, that I can taste the filler. My juices are so much better so I stopped using my boges. Put them in a back drawer (in case of emergency you know) and started trying clearo types...I am closing in on that one that will handle vg really well...I just know it...lol.

This HyperSRT with cotton yarn is the cleanest flavor I have had yet. I have had nothing but bad luck with the clearo's though which is weird since it is essentially the same system.

I haven't tried the cotton wicks yet but you're right, this HyperSRT ROCKS ! All I'm getting out of this is flavor and vapor :thumbs:

I have been a little concerned to try these. I have fingers that do not move well and eyes that do not see well...getting old is hard...how hard is it to change out the coil and wick? Expecially if you have trouble seeing very small things clearly?

Honestly its not really that bad. the screws while small are not THAT tiny. They are about the size of computer screws used to mount CD Roms. (Smaller threading / Size / etc) just longer. Plus you dont have to take them out just back them out to wrap wire around them. That will be your biggest challenge I think is wrapping the screws. Tightening down is easy because it is so open on top you should have minor issues if any.

Okay, after looking at the photos, I am SURE that this is just to much fiddling for me. I am not good with tedious small things and I would just end up with parts for the "save these I might be alble to use them" drawer...lol. I am glad they are working so well for you. I will continue to search and hope on the ravens.



Maybe these will help. This will happen if not careful when pulling it apart but it has pics of the top so you can see how it goes together.

I guess I am just weird....or lazy....or too old and blind. I like my vivi novas (big and small), rebuildable stardusts, and got ravens and titan coming. I just am not feeling any compulsion to rebuild coils or wicks...lol. Thank goodness there is great stuff coming out for all of us....even us strange ones who don't want to tweak everything. I love all the rebuildable stuff....just screw on a new head when the old one goes bad (not that it happens very often).

I'll keep trying anything new....as long as I don't have to mess with itty bitty wires and screws.

You and me both. :) The Stone still ranks at the top of my vaping experience. Glad I bought some refills before it became extinct.

We keep buying new stuff just in case something does come out that is better, unfortunately for me the best I've found has just been close, most go into storage.

Will have to try the "5 Piece Rebuildable Tank Atomizer CE9" when it becomes available. Has anyone here tried it?
