Thanks to everyone that has replied so far. Question to those if you using Novas on the provari. Tried one and sorta liked it...however, to make a connection I need to pull the pin in the nova down and not screw it down tight so I get some air flow...this produces a wobbly connection though...how do you all deal with this. I can't believe on the provari he didn't make the middle of the connection about 1mm higher than the outsides.....for god sakes, even the vamo did this...lol
File the center post down on your nova just a little at a time till it sits flush and still fires.

the problem he is having is the nova is sitting on the outside of the dripwell cutting off airflow i say take a dremel and put some grooves in the nova baseplate.

I really like the Vivi Nova. While it does seem to mute the flavor a bit, I am pretty sure that is fixable by rebuilding the coils myself. They hold a fair amount of juice and do seem to leak a little every now and then, a simple wipe with a paper towel is sufficient. Can't really speak to how long the coils\heads last as I haven't had one go bad yet, but have only been using them exclusively for about 3 weeks and I rotate 7 of them with different flavors.

You didn't say how long you've been vaping. It's just a matter of time before things settle down with fewer glitches. You get used to the glitches and know why they are happening. Sometimes it equality control of a product, sometimes it's user error, sometimes it's the juice, sometimes it's the filler, sometimes well there are just a large number of things that can go wrong really. Somebody said if a person were stuck with one method of delivery using same juice and battery...one way etc that person would eventually get things working to some satisfaction and live with it pretty much. Or invent things to make it better. Looks like we're still in the inventions stage. And things are pretty good. Most frustration IMHO is user inexperience. It's not as easy vaping as it is smoking. That seems to be a fact

Sometimes I feel like vaping is just a no win situation. There appears to be no configuration for me that is a no flaw perfect setup.

dont get me wrong, I like the getting off cigarettes component of it, but other than the getting them wet or cancer part, cigarettes always worked perfectly...lol

cartos and tank...they burn out too fast for me or they flood towards end of life at an inconvenient time.

dripping...too inconvenient

just bought an RBA...tastes great... Great capacity... But the cap comes off too easy. Also I can't put it down on its side without it leaking from the tank into the cap.

Will vaping ever have a 100% perfect device that is affordable, not requiring me to spend 1000's of dollars to find it?


just had the cap full of juice pour into my lap from the RBA, so I guess I am just venting.


:)

check out a bottom feeder box mod. Or google "Super T Manufacturing" and check out the "bottle buddy" or something like that. I think that's be useful to you.

Been vaping a number of years now... You could be right... I change things often looking for a "fit" for me....this is probably why I don't get used to "just the way it is"....and also why I have no money....lol

I don't know. I really never have any problems since I got this phoenix rba. I've always dripped.

I don't know why everybody doesn't just drip and shut up.

I do enjoy dripping . .in fact am dripping right now . . but I will not put my dripping rig in my pocket. Maybe with some old jeans or something .. but to work with dress pants? No can do.

I've been on a similar quest. To find the perfect solution for me. I'm hoping the GP Spheroid V2 I have in the mail does the job. Really not after that last 5-10% of perfection. I just want good flavor, throat hit, and vapor in a package that doesn't leak, and can be cheaply maintained even if the initial outlay is a little steep.

Clearomizers are the easiest to fill and use and you don't have to drip.

Grab cartos and fill them. Switch between them, then fill again a few hours later.. Yes still annoying.
Yup. I have 10 clearos with 5 different juices and refill every third day in the evening. 15 minutes ... what it takes to walk to the store and back again.

Organize ...
