Usage and handling? (Vivi nova)

[Cybergmonster]

So I just received my very first vivi nova today but it doesn't have any instructions.
Maybe some of you guys could help me with a couple questions and concerns .

Do I always have to fill up the tank "full" or can I just fill up a little at a time?

When I am done vaping for the day do I have to empty out the liquid or can I just leave the liquid in the tank and keep filling as I go until its time to change or rebuild the head?

How long does the head last and do most of you rebuild or just throw them away for a new head?

Thanks all in advance!:beer:

You can fill it as full as you like. Just remember to tip it to keep the top of the wick wet.

Leave the juice in it. It won't go bad.

I have heads lasting 6 weeks but I rotate between 8 different Novas so YMMV.

I do not rebuild them. The time and hassle required is not justified by the low cost of replacements.

Hi Cyberg...

For a 'full' tank, keep the level just below the place where wicks go into the metal tube, to the coil. I prefer a 'full' tank on my Vivi Novas, cuz it gives the best vape experience IMHO. However, if you want to use less juice, maybe try only 1/3 full.

I've had heads last as long as 5 months before they burn out, but I dry burn them weekly to clean the crude build-up off.

Leave liquid in the tank, and top off daily....or rinse them out and put a different flavor.

I've never rebuilt a head, but probably will someday. Until then, I have about 40 replacement heads I'll be using. Lasting as long as they do for me, I'll probably have heads for the next several years.

Vivi Nova gives ME the 'best' vape experience I've ever had, because it's almost 'fiddle free'; never had a leak; taste is consistent; vape is satisfying. Hope you like it as much as I do!

I would keep them over half full just so wicks stay more moist, when it's running lower make sure to tilt it to be sure the wicks are fully saturated!

Thanks for the fast answer guys Hope everything goes well!

The little rubber things (I'm awful with terminology, but I mean the piece that goes over the head and connects to the mouthpiece), does the little metal piece inside that go flat side up or ridges side up? I've been using these things for months and have no idea.

WOW I started dripping with my 510 and I decided to just take a chance with the vivi nova/C twist and I must say that I am shocked! WOW! The only drawback is the flavor. Yes, its a little muted vs dripping but the consistency, ease of use, vapor, and throat hit is just amazing. The TH is actually a little too much but controllable with lower voltage. I currently only use 18mg nic but it look like I will have to lower my nic level which to me it's a good thing I been puffing vapor beast melon head for the first time with my new setup and I am LOVING it! I wish I had only ordered lower nic level. I am currently waiting on Ms T's marshmallow menthol and bubble gum and I cant wait to try it out on this new setup. Anyone on tbe fence for vivi nova you are just wasting your time I am using mini version btw which I heard the flavor is less muted.

Thanks guys/gals!

Rebuilding the heads is very easy if you decide to try it. Buying new heads costs roughly $3 a piece. Rebuilding them costs a few cents a piece.

Of course, the original heads last a long time so it's cost effective either way.

One big tip i will give you about the vivi nova is if you take it on a plane, take the top off or the preasure that builds up forces it out the top and bottom flooding all over the bottom

I could see how that could happen, but it would be from the pressure difference of the tank that is partially sealed by the coils maintaining sea level pressure while the baggage compartment lowers to the pressure of altitude. That would force liquid out of the tank through the coil. The passenger cabin should maintain pressure closer to sea level pressure and I wouldn't expect a problem. I have had checked luggage with plastic bottles with flip tops ooze their contents in the baggage compartment before, but not when they were in my laptop bag in the passenger cabin.

Was yours in your checked baggage?

You can actually have a problem with cabin pressure as well. If you're traveling from the coast to Denver, the cabin pressure appears to stay roughly the same but when you get off the plane, you're a mile higher than you were when you left and the pressure is decidedly different. If that tank in your pocket has been kept sealed, you'll be missing some liquid ;-)

If you try your hand at rebuilding, which I highly recommend, try 2.5mm wick. A single strand fills the gap nicely without modifying the silicone cap. I vape 50/50 and have no wicking problems. Oh, and anything less than 1.5 ohms gives dry hits with a fresh 18650.
