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

[Gary13579]

I think I was baptized yesterday as a true vaper!

I got my vivi yesterday, was getting it broke in, batt light flashed, so I put it on the charger, grabbed an older one. Was having trouble getting the vv to thread right on the older batt. It was going on all caddywhompus. Got involved trying to get on the right way.........I know some of you know already where this is going..... Jup.....unscrewed the tank part, and dumped most of a tank of strawberry pie in my lap!! I sure smelled good!!! lol

So far I'm really loving this thing. It seems to be screwing onto my newer batt (riva) ok, not sure why the issues with the older one. Didn't take long to break this thing in and start getting really good flavor. TH is hit or miss right now, but sometimes I think that might have to do with technique. Still not sure if I prefer bc or tc, but I think I'm leaning toward bc, so am very anxious to try the ravens. Got my atty also, drippers dream, and oh wow, it is!! That thing is amazing! First atty I've tried. Dripped quite a bit last night while my better batt was charging!

Hehe, happens to us all eventually. You should upgrade that Riva! I'd suggest a 1000 mAh eGo Twist or if you're willing to spend a bit more, the iTaste VV (when GotVapes stocks them again). The variable voltage is *really* worth it. If you're craving a throat hit, you can just ramp up the voltage a bit and it'll kick your throat pretty hard. Then you can turn the voltage back down to enjoy the flavors of sweeter juices.

Drippers dream is a bridgeless atty, right? Don't drip too much in it or it'll flood easily, and try dripping 1-2 drops in it *after* using it (then letting it sit for some minutes before using it again), I've found it gives a better vape.

Eventually I'll be able to upgrade. Right now just getting what I can when I can to keep me vaping.

I think it is bridgeless, don't know much about it. It took 4 drops just fine. 5 was too much for it. Mostly I wanted it for testing juices, but now I think I'll be dripping at times, particularly when I want/need more TH. Thanks for the tips. I had been looking at the twist, but I think when I am able to upgrade, it'll be to something that I can just change out the batteries, rather than replace the whole thing.

If anyone has some Phoenix XLs laying around that didn't work out, they make a great drip atty for testing juices. Just pull the tube and center stem, cut the tube in half, (I use a razor blade) put one of the half tubes back on and drip. Three to four drops is about all it will hold before it starts leaking out the bottom. I never had any luck with the Phoenix so I have five coils that I clean to try different juices. when I've gone through all five I clean them and start over.

Well, tell to to stop screaming and wait patiently. Make it sit in the corner if it won't behave.

I'm sorry...it's the mother in me.....

Spare the vivi and spoil the vmax... or is it spare the vmax and spoil the vivi.... I dunno either way one or the other needs a spanking... or maybe I do...

Krystm, I like to fiddle with gear but rebuilding attys isnt my cup of tea. I just want to buy them. I cant be the only one who wants higher ohm attys than 2.8?

 

[rdsok]

I cant be the only one who wants higher ohm attys than 2.8?

I know you aren't the only one... but why?

The reason I ask it that way is that recently vaper's that were used to using high voltage mods were still vaping at the same power level ( wattage ) as the ones using lower voltage and lower ohm atomizers. You can get a 15w vape using a 1.7 ohm running just over 5v... and 15w is a lot.

oh dont worry, all vivi novas, mini nova and stardusts will all come in Super HV ohmage for your pleasure.

3.6 ohm and 3.8 to 4.0 heads

I just put in an order for my first vivi-nova and I can't wait for it to get here. I had really only heard good...no great...things about them, at least until I found this thread and the first several pages were spent trying to figure out how to get flavor. Being as it is after 2am, I didn't really have the patience to read the whole thread, (173pgs, LOL), but I did get to what I think was the solution - cutting the wicks? either 3 or 4 of them? Was that right?

 

[yiddleboge6]

I'd try it as it is first, you can always shorten them later. I like the wicks long, others like them shorter, you'll have to decide which is best for you.

 

[Mare1077]

That was what I was kinda planning on. I figured I would see how it vapes out of the box and trim if necessary...

 

[kellie]

I love my vivi it work perfectly everytime. Now Chris and Dan can ya drop alot of bombs in a row so I can just place one big order and overdraft my account for just one over charge plz

Lol there has been 2 other versions since this thread started ,The ones now pretty much have the bugs worked out.

 

[buffaloguy]

Oh I know Bad. You said it before but still waiting.... impatiently... lol.

Rdsok, why? because LR was created to simulate a 5v vaping before VV existed. Any LR stuff I have is saved for egos and SR attys are fine but I find they tend to char juice even before going past 7 watts. I prefer to be between 8.5w and 11w. With higher voltage attys I can reduce battery consumption over LR also.

The vmax has no issue running any ohm I throw on it but why use a LR atty on a VV device? Its kind of like putting a go cart engine in a porche.

Oh! I thought we were still on the V2.5? Sorry, I guess I got confused...

 

[kwalka]

Have you guys seen Pbusardo's video poking fun at the diff versions coming out before we even receive the previous version? Its pretty funny and worth the couple of minutes.

This is the 2.5 i'm sorry i thought you just started reading the thread when it was v1

Yes! Damn! LOL

 

[Krystm]

I still love mine even though I get a lot of muted flavor hits. I just tip it back when I hit it and no more muted flavor. Gonna rebuild some when I get my supplies and bore out the hole a tiny bit and should be my best tanks!

That was the kind of info I was asking the question for... still, I do have a bit of a different take on it

LR was made to replicate, not just simulate, 5v vaping on SR or HR coils... It is how many watts at the coil that matter and not what voltage or resistance vaporizer it takes to get it there.

If I understand what you are saying about reducing battery consumption ( and I'm not trying to put words in your mouth so correct me if I'm wrong or have misunderstood you )... it is about reducing the amperage load. Then this is the same reason that LR is being used on a VV or VW device... using a lower resistance vaporizer again drops the amp load which conserves the battery while still producing the same wattage that using higher voltage and higher resistance vaporizer does.

I read a lot about HV before I chose the direction I went ( 18500 Mod with a Kick ). On another manufacturers forum ( I won't say out of respect for GV ), that manufacturer had discontinued their 6v device they had and created a new 18xxx one that only officially supported 3.7 batteries, mostly this was done for safety reasons. In all of the cases that I read about a previous HV vaper that was complaining about the switch... by the end after they had tried what was being recommended ( using LR vaporizer to get to the same wattage output ) they were all amazed at how much it was like their previous experience with vaping at HV. All of them were addimant ( and upset ) about HV to begin with being the only way they could get a satisfying vape and when it was all over and done with, they each had changed their minds about the change and were all for it.

Since that point, after reading these testimonials of previous HV vapers being converted to the "newer" way of vaping... that is what I used to make my choice.... and electronically speaking it is very logical. When I've later ( and still do ) asked other HV users about this... I've gotten similar answers to what you gave ( thank you for that btw )... but none have yet to mention anything beyond that...

What I've been actually looking for someone to say is that because the vaporizers are using eitther more winds on the coil or a heavier guage wire ( both provide more surface area to vaporize with ) to get to the resistance... both which won't be covered by things like Ohms law... that they get a big improvement in flavor and feel. I have yet to hear that direction from anyone.

One last thing.... Formula One racers really are just go carts...

If I may jump in here...This is the wrong venue for this particular conversation. I am one of those vapers you refer to regarding more wraps and the like. However it is a different device (as you know) that were talking about. By pure accident I stumbled on to that theory, and it is effective.

I didn't feel it was off topic since this would still apply to the Vivi Nova if you were going to be using the higher ohm coils that were being asked about but in this also concerning higher voltage mods etc...
