I'm looking forward to additional videos on this. I already have the RAtank and Bulli A2-T and am having fun with both. I would also like to see what this tank looks like on a Provari and the SS V-Tube. 
I'm looking forward to additional videos on this. I already have the RAtank and Bulli A2-T and am having fun with both. I would also like to see what this tank looks like on a Provari and the SS V-Tube.
Is the V-tube a lavatube, or Vmax? I have a SS Vmax on it's way, so I will make sure to do one of the mod videos with it.
As for the VIVI, it has a lot of potential. I used a smaller wick (2mm), and Kanthal 30 gauge, and was able to get some decent results. It will need some modifications (drilling) to get stellar results, but I think it will get there. I need to pick up some more of them though. I've only got the two.
I haven't been able to get steel mesh to work in it, because the resistance is just too low. I ordered some more resistance wire though, and that should fix that problem. I have a feeling that the wire mesh will get the best results out of this thing.
Being that it is similar to the RAtank I would think that my current set-up will work with the ViVi Tank as well. I'm using a 4 wrap coil of 36 awg Kanthal around a 4 lengths of 1 mm glass fiber wick. This gives me about a 4 ohm coil which vapes great at about 4.5 - 5.0 volts. The V-Tube is just a lavatube. I have the SS version with the metal ego compatible end cap. It is known to be very "airy" so the ViVi tank may work well on it. I think the size is similar to the Vmax, so that would give me a good idea of what it would look like.
Does it get any air flow on that Young June Lavatube, because that's exactly what I have and wanted to use this on. It's such a shame that Smoktech couldn't figure out simple issues like AIR, and making holes too small.
Airy helps. I did 4 wraps of 32 Kanthal, with a 1mm fiberglass, and it worked pretty well. Airflow was still an issue, until I used a 510 extension. This was on the Vmax, so you may have better success on yours.
I am thinking about grabbing a jeweler's drill, and seeing if that gives me some good precision when attacking those holes, and opening them up.
It does on the 1.5T that I have. Mine is dead, but I did give it a draw test. It was a little tight, so I still recommend getting a 510 extension to help open it up.
After watching this review, PB's review and trying one out, I can say that the first step after getting one of these should be to remove the existing wick and wire. Just terrible out of the box, lol.
I was warned, I just wanted to make sure!

Some people are getting better results. I think it has to do mostly with airflow. For me, adding a 510 extender, and some new wick and wire... and it works well.
At least you have something to mod along with the modders.
I bought it to mod it. But I feel you're right in that the holes are too small for the original wick. I'll rebuild it tonight if I get a chance. My airflow is fine, I'm testing it on a box mod.
Of course, I might just wait for you to figure out how to drill out the holes and follow your fine example.

I spent the weekend playing with different wicks and coils for the tank, and getting ready for part 2 and 3.
As mentioned in another area and another forum i made my own coil used a 510 extension and did nothing else, syringe fits in nice to fill and the tank works excellent and have vaped about 40ml thru it so far.
Have 2 more tanks in mail.

I've received my Hyper SRT from GotVapes today, and it is indeed different from the Smoktech Vivi that I've received. I will be going over those differences in the Part 2 review.
