Now that I have not seen. They are designed for an eGo, but I can't definitively say they don't exist somewhere. You could of course use an adapter, but really I would try the Vivi Nova then, either the new version 2, or the even newer 2.5 that GotVapes has. They are very similar to a Stardust but the size of a tank. I used the Stardust for a while but the Vivi just works so much better, and they don't have that recessed eGo connector, so they would fit and look real nice on a mod. It looks a bit funny on my twist, but I still keep using it because they perform much better than my stardusts.

Oh, and yes, they are called CE4, CE4+ (the + being long wicks and better plastic), eGo Vision, Vision eGo clearomizer, Stardust, and probably other things.

See, I have a Vivi Nova that I got from AltSmoke. Threw out 3 wic heads because they all tasted horrid for a good 5 minutes of vaping. I figured that was a long enough time to get to know if it was going to clear up or not. I've still got it, with a couple extra heads stashed in my equipment box.

Also, I'd like to avoid GotVapes. Some of the responses that I've seen from them to customers in the Negative review forum make me not want to deal with them.

Thanks for your time,

GotVapes definitely is capable of causing some strong love/hate type of thing. Like making up names for things (Stardust), and acting like they design things (Vivi Nova), but they do get a lot of the good stuff first, but you can always get it elsewhere sooner or later.

But if you don't like the Vivi Nova you probably wont like the Stardust either, they work in a very similar way, but if you tried the original Vivi, which I didn't so I can't say this from experience, but everyone is saying the new version 2 is so much better than the first version. Like as in, people were wanting mass refunds with the originals, but love them now

Also five minutes doesn't seem like a long enough test period to me. A lot of people say there is oil from the factory on the heads, and that it clears up, or they wash them, dry burn them, etc. etc. So I would pull yours back out and give them another chance, or try the newer versions if you have money to burn. Otherwise I would stay away from the Stardusts, because they just seem like a "Vivi Light" to me, with poorer performance in every regard.

i got mine from little shop of vapors, im having a better experience with the short wicks though. i cut my older ones down too.

Yeah, overall I think short wicks work better too. I don't think juice is really going to travel up the wicks like people seem to think it will. But, I actually sometimes think that the short wicks work too well, because I experience a lot of flooding. I tend to use short wicks for thicker juices and long wicks for thinner juices.

I guess I'll be trying to wash another of the wicks and see if that works. The concept of the Nova was pretty cool, I just didn't like how it tasted nasty...but if there was oil on there that I wasn't aware of, that would explain it pretty well. :)

I use DCTs or cartos most of the time, and I've had a couple instances where I pulled my SB out of my pocket by the tank, and the O-ring just let the tank go. Dumped 3-4mls of liquid all in my pocket....and left me without anything to vape for a bit. I was hoping that one of the vision products, with the screw on ends, would remedy that particular danger.

i can tell you i have used a dual tank mod i built for about 2 weeks everyday at work, i pull it out of my pocket by th mouthpiece everytime. sometimes it even ends up upside down in my pocket. Not one single drop of juice anywhere. also not to mention my stardusts are modified so they are completely flat bottoms,tank ends where the innards end. even with the tank cut down like this they still never leak.
