I took a little bit kidding over in ViVi Nova sub for my dust mop wicks in my nova, I think I have it working A+ nowView attachment 121092
Are those actually from a mop ? And if so what other mods did you have to make to make this work? I have got to give this a try!

they are from a commercial dust mop, this one happened to be 4ft wide (and new), you have to dremel out the slot where the wick fits in tube and cut down the silicone cap that goes on top ,pretty much all

I know this is a VmaX thread but I know some of you guys have the Pheonix RBA, I'm having an issue with it that has never happened before (and I think It may have something to do w/the airhole placement, or the size)..idk, but no matter what voltage I set I get a nice TH and alot of flavor but the vapor seems quite muted..Or did I make a bad coil? I suppose I should make another one..Any help would be appreciated:)

Make sure you're not drowning the coil.

If you fill in too much liquid, the vaper production won't be very good.

Don't know if this has been asked before, 235 pages.... yeah... to many to read.

When I first put in the batteries at full charge, it runs really hot for the first 10-15 vapes, and near the end of the battery it gets really light. I thought it wasn't supposed to do that. Every hit was the same kinda thing. It's the V2, starts out at 3v, if that makes a difference.

What batteries do you use?

It does drop off near the end, as far as I know, but I personally don't notice it though (I use AW IMR highdrain 700mmAH 18350's)

If it hasnt been mentioned yet already Gotvapes has those same skull drip tips. So you can get them from a US vendor if you prefer. I almost ordered one yesterday when I bought my 3.2 ohm attys for my vivis and a new MINI vivi nova. Also gonna try out their "drippers dream" bridgeless atty for when im making juices.

Drippers dream atty is a big fail. Worst atty I ever used hands down.

That thing uses wire and wick?

The coil should be directly over the central air hole,far enough from it so not to flood it and let air circulates;and dont strangle that wick!

So. I had take part my vmax to resolder the center pin and now all it does is restart constantly. Any clues as to what could be happening?



It's spent, dead, over, c-ya. Don't worry about trying to fix it anymore, I'd be more worried if the vendor you bought it from is going to warranty it after you opened it up and put a solder to it. When it does what your describing theirs no fixing it,it's dead.

So is Ms.T's Vanilla Custard sweet or is it just another custard with no real genuine sweetness to it like all the rest. No juice is too sweet or ever sweet enough for me, I always end up adding my all VG liquid sweetener to almost everything, forget the horrid ethyl maltol that taste fake and all the other stuff out there that takes hours to dissolve and actually maKE YOUR JUICE SWEET, This all VG sweetener is all natural, INSTANT, and has a real genuine sweet taste to it. Not to mention potent, 1 drop per mL. Make all juices taste sooo much better...'IF' you like sweet that is.

Hey Buff...can you shoot out a link for the Mini Nova, thats the 1 I've been waiting on to purchase just to see all this good talk from you about this Nova, I'm hearing a lot of positive things about this 2.5 version so I guess it's time to try it out.
Link me Buffalo.......TIA

My ViVi SRT is really performing well without doing anything major, just a lot of little things. I'm curious why Smoktech didn't at least make it work a little better out of the box. Perhaps if they did make it work to it's potential their carto factory might have a big layoff or they knew we would just re engineer it anyway. Anyway mine is working superb, way better than expected, just cotton wicks and a little dremel work here and there, I have another one coming ina couple of days, perhaps I will do the stainless wick. @3.3 ohm now
Still testing so ?

I believe that's a Kanger T2 - different replaceable head configuration.

It's definitely not a Kanger T2, but I'm not sure exactly what it is either. This is a T2: Kanger T2 Rebuildable Clearomizer

The head on that thing looks like it's a cross between a Kanger head and a Vision head.

My it's the Kangerision E2 Novadustomizer ver. 3.75

Love my Vmax but Im having an issue. With my Vivi Nova tanks it keeps spitting out an f2 error. The Boges work fine, but everytime I put a nova tank on I get a F2 error and eventually an F1 error ---> reset device. I have tried moving the center post on the novas but it hasnt made a difference. Cant figure out whats going on. It will fire at random times but its sporadic. I submitted a ticket with madvapes about it, but thought someone here might have a solution before I have to send it back for a replacement.

Sounds like a bad coil head. I've used the mini and standard vivi on my VMax and had no issues. Thoes heads are mass produced and can have shorts in them even though they still vape causing problems with devices.
