Well I have a VV ego as well along with a showbox full of various cartos, batts and juices. I'm just looking to simplify as I'm not looking to this as a hobby, so i prefer less equipment and fuss, just reliability, ease and consistency. I would be curious to try a larger PV but hesitant bcs it will end up costing more money and time.

are the vivi nova tanks less fussy than cartos? i m using the mega dual coil lr cartomizers.. not much fuss either. but r the vivi novas better?

They are much easier to deal with but the wick mutes some of the flavor. Easy to fill and work quite well. The heads are rebuildable also, if you are in to that sort of thing.

Yes much less fussy than cartos. Easy to clean as well. You can easily change flavors by taking it apart and washing it out. They last longer as well as I'm still using the same atomizer head for 4 weeks now. I don't agree that it mutes the flavor though but it is different from a carto. Some liquids will not wick well and you'll get a dry burn, however those liquids probably wouldn't work in a carto either.

I find high PG juices work better. At least 50% PG or higher.

right VG is thicker than PG. BTW I just got three juices from RAWR vapor in the US.

hawaii sunrise - a pina colada flavor
raging ..... - a chocolate coffee flavor
green peach tea

All are 25/75 PG/VG.

The hawaii sunrise is fantastic and wicks well. The raging ..... is a really dark liquid and doesn't wick well...maybe 1 in 5 puffs is a dry hit. I'll probably mix in a higher PG menthol juice to get it to wick better.

How is the green tea peach? I make my own black tea peach with flavorings from Flavour Arts Italy and it is my all day vape. You should consider DIY. I make 30ml for less than 100 baht. Much cheaper than paying someone 500 baht or more for the same amount.

The peach and tea flavor is very subtle and overall it comes across very sweet but to me it's like sugar water or syrup. It's not bad though but personally I like stronger flavors. I'm usually vaping coffee or apple from HC and now the very pungent hawaii sunrise.

100baht per 30ml, that is great but how are you cutting so much cost? The 115ml nic juice from HC is $18 or about 145 baht per 30ml. Where are you buying your nic juice?

From HC or suppliers in Europe. From Europe you can get low nic juice for under 130 baht per 100ml. From HC you buy the highest nic content and then get no nic PG and VG which is only $2.50 per bottle. If you do that you only need a very small amount of the nic juice and then add flavoring, pg and vg to the ratios you want. If you buy anything other than 36mg/ml nic juice from HC you are wasting money since they charge the same price for all their nic percentages. For example you can get 5 100ml bottles of 6mg/ml nic juice from Europe for 1068.58 baht with shipping and discount code. So that works out to be 2.14 baht per ml. To make a 30ml batch at 10% flavoring the base cost would be 57.78 baht and the flavoring cost is around 38 baht (shipping included - even cheaper if you buy in 100ml sizes like I do the black tea). So for a 30ml batch the total cost is 95.94 baht. In my case it is less than 90 baht since I buy the larger size flavoring. As you can see it is very cost effective. The websites selling ejuice are making a lot of money. If you go higher nic content that raises your cost, but not buy much. If you go super high nic content your extra cost might be about 50 baht (probably much less).

I'm Thai but live in US so if you guys need any help feel free to PM me. Btw Rawr is great juice but too bad mike won't ship oversea any more. How is the e-cig community overthere? I was thinking about open business selling everything relate to e-cig in Thailand someday.

Please do! we need more suppliers here. I'm in BKK, but came here from Cali with my wife to see her family. Been vaping two months now and smoke free over a month. Wish they had this stuff when I was a lot younger.
