another idea you could maybe twist in a small piece of nr wire as the double in the leg instead of doubling the resistance wire. don't know if this has been tried....

The double up and then back wrap method is how I do all my Odys and its great on a device with that much room to work. In the vivi there is no room to use that method.
Does that remove the current from the portion of the Kanthal where it is?
The idea of using a NR wire is a good one...
But just to set the record straight.... if you double the other wire, you 1/2 the resistance instead of doubling it in that segment of wire.
I believe the connection is like a spot weld, an instantaneous shot of high amp electricity is shot through the connecting point and the metal is fused together.

Yep, sounds like this requires More Power. Thats not always a bad thing. No pun intended, its going to take me a while to remember that one.
really i think it should. electricity follows the path of least resistance. if you twist in nr wire for the legs the nr wire should take the current up to where it stops at which point the kanthal takes over and gets hot. the kanthal twisted with the nr wire shouldnt heat up as the current takes the lesser path of the nr wire. if the legs are added first you could wind the coil so that ALL the exposed kanthal is contained in the coil and the twisted nr legs start as soon as the wire comes off the wick so that the only wire that can get hot is wrapped in the coil.
hope that helps somebody lol
Just FYI: The 2.4 labeled head I am using right now read 3.5 ohm when I first started using it. Half a tank later it reads exactly 2.4 ohm. They do settle down to their correct ohmage during the break-in process. Apparently for some it takes longer than for others.
So why aren't we building Ody that way? Just to save on wire?
because its not always necessary. ive seen pics of coils on some genisis mods with long leads on the coil of only resistance wire and was told they vape fine that way. a rebuildable setup with posts or bolts or clips or whatever will work differently because nowhere does the resistance wire come into contact with anything other then the posts and the wick. if the leg gets hot in that setup it only makes the post get hot. nothing to burn or scorch or whatnot. in the vivi heads the coil leads are secured by friction on either side of a rubber (something) gasket. even in a good fully working setup several good hard tokes could get the wire hot enough to scorch the gasket and possibly cause bad taste or whatever.
another reason to do it that way is efficiency. a 2ohm coil with nr legs would have more active coil area then a 2ohm coil with resistance wire legs because with the nr wire leads all of the resistance wire is in the coil itself (none is wasted getting from the connection to the wick) where the coil with resistance wire legs would by design have to have less wraps around the wick for the same given resistance.
make a coil for your ody that way it would prolly work quite well
Hey, guys, have mercy on this old non-fiddler, and post the reference for how to rebuild these coils... I have wick and wire and stuff, and I am curious to the point of my tail lashing furiously. I know it's been posted at least a couple of times, but I can't seem to find it.
Plus, it would be cool to stick it into the knowledge base, if Bad and Danno don't object.
I'll put it into my "PV techy folder", I promise, so that I don't have to ask again.

Here you go!!!
Vision Vivi Nova, Part 2 - Changing Wick (COTTON) & Final Impressions - YouTube
Only thing I suggest is double the wire up on the "legs" as they lead to the coil and come off the coil to the contacts. The parts of the wire that are not wrapped around the wick.
Does anyone know when the Vivi Nova will be back in stock? I dropped my PV today and broke my Nova.
mine is about stripped too from popping off the couple of times i dropped it
badkola posted something on this in either this thread or the Stardust Rebuildable thread... I'll leave it to you to look for it, I was up too late ( again ) last night to be skimming through a bunch of posts
i noticed that the new vivi nova v2.5 is sold out. i plan to get one (and a mini one), any idea when they will be back in stock? also, will you be getting the slightly smaller mini vivi nova v2.5?
