Starting to rebuild

[ScootenNewton]

I just ordered supplies today to start rebuilding my coils and wicks on my vivi nova. A lot of people do not like the vivi nova, but i, love the vivi nova personally. Maybe later on i will advance to a pro-tank or something else. Any advice or tips about rebuilding?

Do a YouTube search, tons of videos on rebuilding, Watch a few of them, everyone rebuilds a little different, so watch them pick and choose and come up with Your method,

i hope your eyes are good , ive rebuilt several vivi novas with ss mesh and let me tell ya they are awesome but they are a pain in the ... to rebuild i use a helping hands set up with my drug store eyeglasses and it still takes a while to just get one to working right but when you do theres nothing like it i found 30ga wire the best 32ga for me will pop b4 i can get the short out and i also found that making the wick into an L shape worked great with the long side going to the bottom of the tank good luck

I found a nice hands free magnifier at Hobby Lobby in the sewing dept. I also use the novas and am very happy with them.

Oh really? i bought the 32 gauge wire. Well, i guess i will have to have a lot of trial and error! thanks man for the information. I'll have to go buy a magnifying glass or somethin.
