I think you're right about that. I don't plan on analyzing it any further. I've been using cartos for a year and I'm completely blown away by how clean the flavor is on this thing. I have a really nice phiniac on the way and I'm afraid its not going to get very much use.
Just a piece of advice on your Nova if you want to hear it. I clean my Nova tip to toe after every 1 - 2 tanks. I just pull it apart completely and give it a good warm water rinse. I let the head dry overnight and then I give it a simple dry burn. I rotate and rebuild my own heads so I always have one available if I want to put my Nova back into service right away. Just dry off the other parts good. I have to tell you, I see more people complaining about their equipment (and some of it is legit), but the biggest abuse I see is lack of cleaning. TLC goes a long way in this hobby. And considering the amount of time I used to spend standing outside to smoke analogs, the time spent on cleaning a Nova is miniscule in comparison.
So far things have been mostly peachy with my Vivi. After enjoying a couple tanks with the stock 2.4 head, I decided to switch it out for the 1.8 head. Since the juice I use (SV101 from SmartVapes) is pretty thick with even low VG content, and I've read that cutting the wiicks down may provide better vapor, I decided to trim them down a tad. I also cut a couple notches in the silicon cap per Phils video so it doesn't pinch the wicks. Now all I'm getting is problems. I can't carry the device with me all day and have it NOT leak from the 510 connection. What's more is that if I chain vape a bit, I end up with a tank full of vapor. I'll try to grab a pic if anyone wants to see.
All in all, I'm hoping to get this thing to work. I've got phoenixes lying about full of juice because they taste like nards on the second fill. Finding juice flavors has never been an issue for me, but finding gear that'll keep working and still taste good is something that has eluded me from day one in vaping.
There is also another issue that I don't always consider first when trying to cover these types of issues... fake clone products... see http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...please-read-regarding-knock-off-products.html
just in case...
DISCLAMER: This is not an indication that I only brush my teeth when my vape taste goes to hell !!
Good Point rdosk..
Another food for thought, that gets very little attention is "Vapors tongue". Put simply, your taste buds go south. Some may think it myth, but I for one am a firm believer in it. Sometimes for a few hours, sometimes all day. Many theories as to why this happens, but no real conclusive facts. I chain vape, and sometimes my beloved Boba's taste like cardboard.
When this happens to me, I go brush my teeth AND tongue with baking soda toothpaste. After a few minutes, Im back in business.
I used to love closeup, but the cinnamon would kill all juice flavors but cinnamon, for hours...

When BC Phoenix's are cleaned correctly, I get the same great taste I did as when new...thats what's so great about them.
Same holds true for the Full and Mini Nova's...

well you do get increased sense back, there is no doubt, but it still plays tricks on you, one day a juice will taste so dam good, and youll wake up the next day wondering how in the world you were ever able to vape that same juice. its weird but happens and slightly different for everyone
RAVEN, RAVEN where art thou!Welcome Full. Glad you're loving the Vivi. Me too. Although.....I do agree with wally and zip on the bc phoenix's, love those too!! Just can't get em to hold enough, so I get tired of foolin with em. lol When they get the perfect bc I'll be in heaven.
RAVEN, RAVEN where art thou!
