Ive had the smoktech vivi for awhile since the coop with nomomarlboro and have just now started to experiment. I have mesh on order it hasnt came yet so I got antsy. I drilled the wick holes to 3mm, and replaced stock wick with similar. I had to "pull the post" first thing .. I may have pushed it in while drilling. (It seems to be real metal and drilled well)
Drilled them at a slant for later use for the mesh wick.

Ill be reporting back the next couple days on my findings .. This looks very promising. Have a nic overload at the moment from trying it out lol. Used it for about 30mins now with only priming it once. I flip it over for about 10secs to make sure its wicking well, and havent had a dry hit yet. especially good when its soaked!!

Post your pics of your finished/in progress smoktech vivi I would like to see them.

Sorry for placing in wrong forum.

Update on my findings:

So far with 3mm holes drilled for the wick holes I get dry hits if I dont slosh the juice around, or turn tank upside down. It floods at times if I turn it over with 100%pg juice.

Woke up this morning and juice has seeped down the air hole, making the draw horrible :mad:

Later today im going to plug the air hole, and drill a hole in the top tank for exclusive air flow from there.

So far, this thing is looking like junk, and I seriously doubt it will ever be good enough for me to use 100% of the time and be dependable. I have gotten some good hits off it ... Specially at first. But all the issues make it just horrible. No idea why they ship a tank that doesnt wick.

The guys on youtube claiming they work great are full of shiz. There is money to be made for them. Do not order this tank unless you want to do alot of work to it .. And it still isnt gunna be great.
