First, sorry for the huge picture. I am not sure how to make it any smaller.

Now, I just got this new Vamo and mini vivi nova tanks today, and while I am loving the Vamo, I THINK I am having an issue with the mini vivi nova tanks. They seem to be going through ALLOT of fluid. Now, when I say that, understand that while I am still new to the vaping scene, I have been surviving these past few months on some crappy OMG Handles from another company, which needless to say, while they vaped well, the mod was utter garbage as far as quality and durability. That said, I have a guage of how much juice I typically go through on a daily basis, and these tanks seem to be burning more than normal. On my old rig, I was using 6ml tanks, and they would last me about 3 days of normal vaping. With these new 2ml mini vivi novas, I seem to be going through almost 4ml so far today. I cant find any evidence of leaking, but the juice is just disappearing out of my tank! lol In case anyone is wondering I have the mod set to NO2, variable wattage at 7, and i have a 2.4 ohm head in the tank powered by one 18650 battery. I did notice some initial burning taste with the tank, but I chalked that up to perhaps I did not let the fluid wick in enough, and it has since stopped. So, in short, I was wondering if these tanks just burn more juice than others, what would be some other tank suggestions if so, and where would you all recommend I do some shopping?

Thanks in advance.

Are the heads a double coil?
Are you using a higher voltage/lower resistance?
Is your drip well filling up? :D
Are you sure it is REALLY holding 2 mls where you are filling it to?
Where'd you get those clearos?
I normally vape 5-7ml a day.

Edit:
The burned taste was bc the wick wasn't wet yet most likely...if it continued it was a poorly wrapped coil.
I use carto tanks on my vamos.
If you like clearos everyone will suggest the ProTank by Kanger. Looks good on a VAMO, is pyrex so it won't crack because of juice flavors (cinny or fruits) like polycarb can, and the heads are easily changed.
I don't know if it would be frowned up on or not for me to list a bunch of places for you to window shop...so I apologize in advance to the Mods:
SmokTek, Stormy's Vapor Cellar, Discount Vapors, Mad Vapes, Sun Vapors...umm there are tons of places. (I have no affiliation to any just giving many ideas) Look at the Vendors section in the forum. Watch reviewers such as PBusuardo (he always mentions where he gets the items he is reviewing), or Grim or Vapor Girl....or any of the hundreds of others.

You will pick up on places and hardware quickly from others on this site.

I am pretty sure it is a single coil, but could be wrong.
Last time i used the volt setting it was at 4 volts and there is a 2.4ohm head in the tank.
Cant check drip well as I would have to remove the fluid... i will check that before I fill it again.
I am filling it to the line that says "2.00 ML"... so i assume its 2m lol
Got the tanks from exhalevapors

From my experience with the mini vivi Novas, they burn up a loooooot of juice.
I used it for a long time cous it never leaked and it was just really easy to use without going through cartos.
My suggestion if you're worried about juice consumption go to sr cartos with tanks:)
I still find myself using those from time to time even with my rda and mechanicals!

I've gone back to a carto in a tank after using the mini vivi nova for a while. I like the consistency of flavor and it's really easy. The vivi nova was great tasting, but I remember that I too thought I was going through a lot more juice -- I didn't care that much as long as it tasted great. Then my novas just seemed to kinda go nova on me and I couldn't get any consistency out of them. One minute they'd work, I'd change a coil and it would taste awful. I'd try again, still awful. I'd try a whole new one, and still awful. Then, it'd be great again for a while. I never did get it figured out and I simply didn't want to fuss with it that much.

Novas soak up a LOT of juice. Most clearos with a wicking device will suck up a great deal more than other methods, but the Novas seem to do it the MOST. I don't know why. But, you are not wrong. Maybe try some bottom coiled clearos, or carto-tanks if you are worried about the disappearing juice. I don't think it is going into your lungs, just the wicks!
