Im trying to rebuild my vivi nova again, I was wondering if I could wrap the ss mesh around the silica, trim off the exposed strands of silica and then just do the oxidation process. Or do I need to oxidize the ss mesh first and then wrap it around the silica? Im hoping this might improve vapor production from my vivi nova. I want to make a thicker wick with the added silica and bore out the wick grooves a little wider. Figuring a thicker wick with more surface area for the coils to contact will generate more vapor. I am looking for the most vapor i can get. I also drilled out the nipple on the positive connector of the atomizer head so it doesnt feel like i'm breathing through a coffee straw. It did vastly improve air flow, but the vapor has become a little thinner due to added air. Any suggestions for maximizing vapor would be greatly appreciated, as well as any answer to the oxidizing of the hybrid wick. Thanks.

i have a couple of novas and they wick my straiht vg pretty good.
i think i heard about someone trying to all mesh for a wick. don't know how it turned out yet.
also someone going to try hemp for a wick.
some use pure cotton.
i haven't really had an issue with wicking yet.

Thanks, will order some 100vg juices. The ss mesh I put in my genesis style is amazing, produces tons of vapor and i use it on a 900mah, basic ego battery (3.3 V or so i think). for some reason i cant apply that ss mesh awesomeness into my vivi nova properly, oh well
my juice looks like the stuff rolloing around inside a lava lamp. so i never use less than 4.6v sometimes i go up to 5.3v
SNG vapor sells a nova replacement head that seems pretty interesting. They consist of a 500 SS Mesh wick, rolled and insulated with a segment of XC-116 Wicking material. A Kanthal coil is wrapped at approximately 1.7ohms (+/- .2ohms). These are recommended for VV/VW or mechanical mods, not eGo batteries. They fit well in a standard Vivi Nova or STV Nova, and have been used (but not fully tested or recommended) in the Mini Vivi's. These will withstand much higher voltages than a standard Nova head, as the mesh/ceramic combination eliminates coil burn that leads to a burnt taste. They are capable of being dry-burned to clean, and are designed to last 3-5 times longer than a standard head will.
