T3 Bottom Coil Clearomizer or Vivi Nova Tank?

Not open for further replies.
I've been vaping for a while, and I've finally gotten started on using eGo's. I used and eGo-T, but it just leaked all the time and I got so fed up with it, so I switched to Smok Dual Coils, and I wasn't much a fan of those either. Recently, I've been using the T2 clearomizer, and I really like the set up, but the cartomizers in it only lasted a day, maybe two. They just stopped producing any smoke, and I have no idea what the problem is. I bought 10 replacement coils, and they're all dead now. So I've been looking into something new, but I'm so fed up on wasting money for things that should work well, and just don't. I've read up on the T3 bottom coil clearomizer and the vivi nova tank which both seem to work well, but so did everything else at first. What set up has worked the best for you? Right now, I'm thinking about getting an eGo twist and the T3 bottom coil clearomizer, but I don't want to waste money on something that MIGHT work. Is there something even better to use that I just haven't come across yet? I'm pretty much at my point of giving up; I'll try one more thing and hope that it works. I've been vaping for over a year now, and I still haven't found something that's just simply worked.

Personally, Vivi Novas replaced any and ALL clearomizers i currently have. Haven't tried a T3, but some have certain issues with mods (not the fault of the T3 manufacturers). I have had almost every incarnation of clearomizers (V2 up to the V4 rebuilds), and it jsut went downhill everytime.

Tanks are a great stepping stone into rebuilds IMO. PBusardo's vid about making new coils for Nova Tanks got me thinking bout it more and more. . .but the Novas have never faulted on me. It's why I got 6.

I've owned 7 novas...none ever leaked on me...not once..not ever...i bought the mini novas though and i hear the big ones do leak sometimes

I've had one single T3 which did leak after i took it apart and cleaned it....i have a kanger pro tank now and am hoping it keeps performing like it does right now....but i've only had it one day

the novas will treat you right if you clean them frequently and properly

I can't recommend the T3s enough, or MT3s, whichever you prefer. But I will say that if you're looking for the perfect deal right from the start you may be upset. I messed around with my T3s for about a week, got really fed up with leaking and juice in my mouth. I switched from mostly PG to a 50/50 mix and haven't looked back. These suckers have me blowing clouds for weeks now with no complaints.

T3, hands down. ViVi Novas mute favors too much and are inefficient at wicking, given the liquid has to fight gravity to get to the coil. I got tired of the tip and swirl that comes with operating a VVN after day one. T3s are much less hassle, but to be perfectly honest, eVods are even better about not leaking if you can tolerate a smaller tank and narrower access to your juice level.

I only got burned hits and a boatload of frustration from VVNs. The T3s and eVods became my best solutions (until the Protank came along).

I haven't even heard of a protank; what are they?

ProTank is Kanger's newest clearo.

Heavy, metal, and glass.

I'd been using Vivi Nova for long time but those days are over ever since I tried the bottom coil tanks(Vapeonly, Evod, and T3). The difference was so big that I tossed all my Vivi's to trash. Never a single dry hit with these. I haven't tried the Protank yet but I'm sure it's just as good if not better because I only hear good things about it. For some reason Evod performs better than Vapeonly(couple other people I know both agreed). I prefer Evod over T3 because the replaceable atties are cheaper and it's little easier to rebuild as well.

Evod > T3/Vapeonly >>>>>> Vivi Nova

Evod is the best tank I've ever tried despite its small 1.8ml capacity. I think I can throw out all my other vape gears and just keep the Evods and Ego batteries and still be a happy vaper. Bottom coil is the way to go, trust me.

I swore by the Nova's until I tried my first bottom coil, the ProTank. Absolutely love this thing. I just started rebuilding the Novas when I ordered the ProTank and think I wasted money on materials. Ever since using the ProTank I've done nothing but research other bottom coil delivery systems. I think I'm going to order the Nova bottom coil today to compare it to the PT.
On a side note, the PT has a VERY airy draw on it, too airy for me. I used some plumbers tape around the threads blocking the holes and only punched one hole. Absolute perfect hit for me now. I plan on taping some of my Nova's now because I find them a little more airy than I like.
