VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

[Briar]

The Frenchman must be in sub freezing ice box to get that much vapor. Is that a Ovale v8 Incremental VV PV he's using, nice looking unit?

Errol

Oh, I dunno, Errol - my right-ish working ViVi produces a ridiculous amount of vapor - totally amazing.

 

[Briar]

No, its self-adhesive transparent foil. Very easy to apply (and remove later on when it gets boring).

Oh, man - that's pretty! I was going to ask where the heck do you get that foil - and then saw that you are in Croatia. Durn, I guess whichever craft store you shop at is a bit too far of a commute for me.

Unless you get it on the Internet someplace?..

Cheers - good job on PV deco. I keep promising myself I'll get into that. I'm definitely going to paint my ViVi tubes with translucent oven-bakeable paint.

 

[carpedebass]

Well, it sort of depends on what's going on, exactly...

Some of the heads measured at much higher resistance than they were supposed to be. So it's possible you are not giving it enough voltage for the ohms.

It's also possible (though uncommon) that you have a wicking issue. Are you getting any dry hits?

No dry hits. But I've tried it with VV all the way up and down the dial and it's just either wimpy or hot if you crank it up enough. Either way, still very disappointed.

Well, these foils are made for glass and similar surfaces. You can easily find similar material in lots of shops - from hobby craft shops, to home decorations (think windows).

Add me to the list of the people it DOESN'T work for. I've tried 4 heads of varying ohms, tried removing wicks, tried rewrapping, NO GO! Still tastes Burnt, Dry hit. I haven't had one good hit with this thing yet, but I've gone through a lot of juice testing it. Look at my signature, I'm not a noob, I've spent a fortune trying things & this is a FAIL for me...

You guys probably got the packs that had bad heads in them... Good-ish ones just don't do that. I really wouldn't give up on these until you tried the second version of the heads, they should be much, much better.

 

[BuGlen]

I saw the V2 available on a popular Chinese vendor site (I won't name names here), and it looks like the new heads have the short wicks only. Does anyone know if the long wicks will still be an option?

 

[badkolo]

ours have long wicks and the user cant trim them

 

[BuGlen]

Thanks bad! It's good to know that the option will still be available.

 

[Sev00]

thats why you all have options and many vendors and many other products to try, all of you 3 have a great day

Do you represent GotVapes? If so that's a F'ed up attitude! If not, rock on. I don't mind the opinion unless its coming from a company Representative. Customer service is the best way to improve profits.

Point being..I think many or at least some of you would agree its been fun following this thread and ripping apart the nova
long post i know just waking up still cut me some slack

Agreed! I like tinkering.

But I have to say I dislike a bad attitude from a vendor. Hear me, not faults with the product. But a rude "bad" mouth on a vendor.

But all in all, tinkering with this and other items is fun. Lot more fun than I ever had with analogs.

Dude (ette?), GV customer service is top notch - if you are good to them, they go out of their way to be good to you. And if you declare you want to go some place else and diss them, their product, and their company on their own forum, they wish you well on your way. Politely. What else do you want?

Besides, that bird has flown a long time ago. Why don't we stick to tech issues, eh? Lots more fun to talk about that. I can't wait to see what happens with the new heads, should be verrrry interesting.

I am half owner of gotvapes.com, I have a wonderful attitude at ALL TIMES, If you know me from ecf you would know im a extremely caring person who has helped many, given all my time and care to this community, ive done my share to move this vaping world along in our own little way on certain types of products, I care about about this, its something im passionate about and everyone here can attest to that, I go out of my way to help everyone when i can, I am just one man here, Daniel my incredible partner (brainchild behind the birth of gotvapes) and my brother for life is in texas so he has his work cut for him as well.

Im not sure why you would think I have a bad attitude? I mean I understand, you see a few posts, you read a few reviews, you might see me flip out on a few people who just cant speak about the issue and need to add rude nasty remarks as if that will get anyone anywhere with me, it doesn't and never will, this forum is the same.

I want you all to share your experiences, GOOD OR BAD, I have said this form day 1 and it will always hold true, what I and dan dont want and not becaue we are some type of gods but becuase we are 2 men , human beings, trying to bring you products to keep you off of cigarettes, we work at this, my personal life has died over this.

I will stay strong and keep pushing forward for all of you, NOT FOR ME, i dont do this for the money, i could buy all the vaping equipment i could ever want and just go vape and be on a vacation with my fiance until im a old man.

So please don't judge me by the few posts you see here. I stand behind the policy, post here in the same manner you want to be treated, if you like to be treated badly, then don't post here. Now this means if you have a issue with a product and its under warranty, then got to GotVapes Help Center and Knowledge Base and make a ticket and you will be looked into and handled.
If you need help on products you can either open a ticket but coming here and asking for help will usually get you a faster answer, Dan is around during the week and I am here every day, all day.

IF you dont like a product of ours or had issues, by all means come here and express that.
BUT do not come here to whine and moan and call us names and act like children with rude childish sneaky nasty comments, Do not come here sneakily posting links to the other vendors( we pay to be here) you can discuss vendors and we allow that but the difference between link dropping and helping others is plain as day.
Do not come in here telling us how our stuff is junk when we have so many happy people its beyond belief and we understand that some products may have speed bumps but every single vendor goes through this and we will not allow people just to point at us because we are so popular, you look foolish when you do this as 85 percent of our products our sold on other popular vendors sites and we check their forums and dont see people going in their and blasting them.

WE are suppose to be grown adults in ecf, children are not allowed, adults speak to each other with respect, and there is a proper way to complain and then there is the wrong way, I have had a tendency to snap at the ones who simply want to be rude, nasty and go on some attack against us and that is wrong on my part but wont happen again as i wont respond to anyone who continues their rude behavior and will simply remove all posts from that individual.

If you bought a carto from us and it has a issue we want to help you but its impossible for vendors to exchange them once juice is inside. The variables of what could be wrong are a long list, form the type of juice your using, the type of battery, the voltage you started with, the way it was filled, the way you vape and so on and yes i do get it some carto or tanks simply might have a issue or its discovered that they might have actual issue and when that happens we have handled those issues and deal with them, If its something that is a massive issue we have shown we will help you, make a ticket and it will be looked at, thats where the majority of all issues and the nastiness of some people come from, batteries and other products have warranties so there isnt much of issue on that end.

Being that cartos / tanks/ atties are disposable products once used can make things difficult but its a policy we must stand behind as other vendors do or else we wont be able to stay in business. So if you do have issues please come to ur forum and let us know what your issue is and either I or Dan or any one of our wonderful posters here will try to help you out , there is no need to be rude or go on attacks, that serves no purpose. We respect your money but i didnt destroy your life if a carto didn't work properly, so lets understand that and back off on the nastiness, we want you to be happy, we want to bring you products that hopefully can help you stay off of analogs and we are here to deal with the speed bumps that come with the terroritory when being involved in the ecig business, we simply ask to have some compassion with us and we will do the same.

thank you for your understanding

PS: SEV, none of this was directed at you in anyway, im simply making a post that deals with what you discussed

I've had my vivi nova now for at least a few weeks and it sucks. If there were problems with the first version of the heads why where they selling them in the first place. Sounds like we are the guinea pigs, not cool. I've done EVERYTHING imaginable to try and bring this tank to life. I haven't had one decent hit from this thing, so I'm done with it.

Glad to hear a ECF veteran (non seller) opinion. Whoever you bought that from should replace or refund with a sorry we want to retain your business. Most likely you will just get a "good luck" though.
