With the Vivi Nova you will need No-resistance wire due to the rubber grommet at the bottom of the head, it will give off a burned rubber taste thru your juice if you only use kanthal/nichrome wire. 4mm silica wick is what I'm using with kanthal 33awg getting a 3.3Ω coil. I did try some cotton candle wick material but it was awful tasting. I get the best true flavor with the fat super fast wicking 4mm silica. With stardusts and those type of rebuildables you do not need the NR wire because they use a high temp silicone grommet to separate the positive and negative. Strictly FYI.

***NOTE*** I think GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more has the 3.2Ω Vivi Nova replacement heads.

And oh yeah....welcome back TARD !!!!!! lol... inside joke.
Call me later...much later..lol bout to eat dinner.

Freddie,

I have read through this whole thread. Even though I don't know you, I've missed you. It wasn't the same without you. Glad you're back.

Between my wife and I we are now the happy owners of 3 Vmaxs, so I would like to join the elite group if possible.

Sending you an invite right now Blue and welcome! :)

Since I know a few of you use or are interested in the Vision Vivi Nova, I thought this was interesting...

There are a bunch of copies/fakes/old-stock/reject/knock-off Vivi Nova sold by many, many vendors right now, because it is a hot item. (Ever seen that happen before? ;)). Well the Vision company has published a list of vendors that are selling the real deal: News Details - Vision High Technology

If you didn't buy your VN at one of those vendors, don't say the Vision Vivi Nova sucks, because you didn't buy a Vision Vivi Nova.



Welcome back, Freddie.

I actually have 2 of the V1s. Not sure what everyone who can't get these things to work is crabbing about. 1D10T errors? Not sure.

Anyways, thanks for list. Carry on.

You are correct Led! E-Cigarettes of Houston here in Texas sells the replacement heads in 5 packs up to 2.8 ohms! :)

But where do they get those heads?

Go on Alibaba and you can source these products from dozens of places. Some might be legit genuine products, some for sure are not.

Deal with the vendors that the mfgs. say are their legit outlets, and you can be (sorta) sure you are getting the real deal.
