Stardust v3 versus Vivi Nova v3 Discussion

[Brent Davis]

So I have tried both of these however I find more taste from the stardust v3 could this be because the Vivi Nova v3 just hasn't been broken in yet (only got it 1-2 hrs ago) also what are your thoughts concerning both cleromizer tanks?

Just waiting on my mini nova arriving and if I can find a uk supplier for a Kanger bottom coil t3 going to try also. Currently using top coil Kanger T2 its pretty good also various cartos but never found one to my liking. I am using ego twist but awaiting arrival of smoktek box mod 6volt vv

Ya I have both of these and the stardust v3's are good but they seem to flood due to the metal bands expanding at the bottom due to heat and then the stem and coil head become misaligned from the drip tip as a result juice gets in breathing tube. its odd though it doesn't happen all the time but ya aggravating.

I think they are both exactly the same, with the exeption of the nova having a larger tank.

I use both Stardusts and vivi nova minis. The Stardusts can be fussy little critters - mine tend to leak, but I've figured out how to cut them off at the pass - I haven't had a leaking problem at all with the minis. I only use the Stardusts because the sites where I order other things usually have them cheap. I clean them, but mostly think of them as disposable.

ya my Vivi nova actually just broke in took a little but but im not having any leaking issues either what did you do with your stardust v3 to avoid leaking?

Ya the tank size is different but I see the taste is as well however so far no leaks in Vivi nova

 

[Brent Davis]

Okay I have a question about the Vivi Nova Tank v3 if anyone has noticed it but the heads are terrible and provide a metal taste to them anyone else conclude and what is the ultimate fix?

Ditto.

Vivi Nova seems not to leak though, based on anecdotal stuff I read here.

Same muted juice taste on both I bet.

Well Stardust v3 has awesome flavor I honestly only looked into the Vivi Nova v3 for a larger tank size but ya I feel I just threw away 16 bucks the heads they they ship with the vivi nova are trash and ya Im still going to try to take a stardust head and use the plastic cap from vivi nova heads to see if it at least fits securely I did try the stardust v3 heads but with their cap it didn't work out to well.

Edit: Vivi Nova Heads are slightly smaller than stardust v3 ones =\

Its just aggravating but I was doing some research and apparently im not the only person who has .....ed about this with their heads most people I see actually seem to be rewicking the coils but Im not sure what the real issue is with the heads if its the wick or the wire not being low resistance but either way the Stem that it screws on to causes way to loose of a drag when u inhale.

 

[klynnn]

Actually I want to re-wick the heads so I don't have to buy them.

So you have a Vivi Nova I assume? and if so did you have issues with the heads they sent to you with the tank?

 

[klynnn]

I haven't had a problem with mine. In fact my heads last almost 6 weeks. My wicks have degraded first and haven't had a coil actually burn out yet. I clean and dryburn about every 2/3 tankfuls. I am looking to do the rewicking and coil here soon when I get the kanthal wire.

 

[klynnn]

Mine get a workout too since it only leaves my hand when asleep.

So you get no metal taste whatso ever? and did you fray your wicks or leave them as originally shipped because my biggest gripe with it is the metal taste and nulled flavor I just wish I had a answer as to why this is happening =\ it pisses me off bad.

 

[klynnn]

I diy my own juice so I know how its supposed to taste and there is no metal taste. Where did you get yours? Have you made sure the silicone cap is on correctly?

 

[klynnn]

You know I have been reading lately about different wire, now I'm no engineer but I did spend the night at holiday inn once or twice. Sooo I wonder if the wire used could make a diff in taste.

 

[sgenn99]

I have a few minis-aside from the juice hog issue I have mentioned in previous threads, I love them. No metal taste. They perform way better than the stardusts I've used. Just need to break them in and they're the best wick based tanks I have found thus far.

Well I left the silicone caps on as they were with the metal ring touching and also with the metal ring up to the top of the platic cap either way is results in the same deal.

 

[klynnn]

Check that cap the metal piece should have two diff sides. The flat piece should be down and the funnel looking part up since it butts up to the drip tip hole. Also make sure drip tip is set tight if loose can get juice spray in mouth. Other than that I would get a new supplier.
