You have the Ver of the Nova listed as a 2.5, but the current Ver listed with Vision is Ver 3. I need to know if they are actually one in the same. Because V2 heads don't work on v3 Novas.

I'm curious where you are getting your info from... All of the v3 that I've seen listed elsewhere were actually the Mini Viva Nova's and not the full size and they actually do use the same heads. Part of why I ask, is that often the various sellers make up their own version numbers not to mention the number of fakes and clones out there.

I did try the actual Vision website ( visionecigar.com ) but it was down at the moment, so I can't verify your info any other way than to ask.

I know for a fact that their is a authorized dealer that shows theirs as being V3, I have also seen that there is a difference in the v2 vs. v3 heads. So we are not talking about a knock off. That is why I need to know if the v2.5 is using the must current up to date heads. I really would hate to order a blister pack with only a DOA return policy and find out I bought something that I cannot use. :)

Not to be a jerk but authorized dealers say lots of things about their products and may also sell knockoffs of what they are "authorized dealers" of.

couple of small issues. I am not saying it says v3 on Vision's website, just like none of them on Vision say v2.5 like gotvapes. I am seeing however different authorised sites including gotvapes and a few others, posting both v2.5 and v3. I am 100% sure my tank is an official Nova. I am also sure that the sites I have been dealing with are not selling knock offs. Most authorized dealers will not sell the knock offs as then they will lose that status of authorized. My tank goes to 2.80ml on the grades.

What I am suspecting is that Gotvapes and a couple others are indicating v2.5 for the same thing that a few other authorized dealers are saying v3.

It would be real nice if the Gotvapes people would actually respond, too. As there *support* system online said to post here for faster help. If this is faster, I am worried. LOL

I have been responding to you. If it has a head that has a cone on it, it is a knockoff. Here is a little background for you and it is documented. Gotvapes were the ones behind the design of the Vivi Nova and I was one of the 5 helpers that helped name it the Vivi nova. We sell only genuine Vision for that reason. v2.5 has to do with the redesign of the head coils sometime ago and the moving of the airholes from the base to the stem. I am SA for Gotvapes and I am also the CS manager for them as well.

Also, there are only a few authorized vendors of the Vivi Nova.

The forum here has never considered direct support... though GV will often answer questions here when they aren't very busy or have a bit of time to .... The reason they suggest posting in the forum is that many of the users here do know answers to many questions about the various products...

The issue with this specific type of question is that other distributors etc just make up their own names or version numbers for the product lines they carry... This causes some confusion since we will have no idea of which vendor you are referencing exactly.

AFAIK ... on the full size ( 3.5ml ) Viva Nova tanks the latest version is v2.... they made several updates to the heads in these and the ones refering to as v2.5 are the ones with the most updated heads.... so even though v2.5 isn't listed on Visions website, it refers to the latest tank using the latest heads.

So there are many possible answers to your question depending on the site you are looking at ... Yiddle's comment about the Stone v3 tanks is one ( these were the precursor to the Vivi Nova's actually which the parts are not interchangable with possible exception of the tube itself ). Another that has been seen is the latest Mini Vivi Nova which I've seen listed as v3 on many sites, these can use any of the heads made for the full VN. Some other possible choices.... the colored versions of the full VN as well as the STV version, which is the metal tank version and also uses the same heads as the full VN.

With so many possible answers... even GV won't really be able to directly answer your question. Perhaps you should post several pictures of the one you are talking about so the guessing game you've started will at least have something to go by besides just the assumptions we have to make currently.

If any "authorized dealer" is carrying the authentic Vivi Novas and calling it the V3, that is their own wording. Yes, there have been 3 versions (in a way) There was the v1 with the air holes on the side of the base plate, the v2 that looks just like what we carry with a flaw in the head (if I remember the issue correctly) and the V2.5 with the latest and greatest head fix. So if you have received an AUTHENTIC Vision Vivi Nova, and the seller is calling them the V3, They themselves have labeled them that way....and they are the V2.5 (and I strongly stress the IF they are AUTHENTIC)

If the VN tank you got is from GotVapes... and you are wondering if the blister pack they carry will fit it... If it is v2 or v2.5 they will fit it perfectly.... If it is the earlier v1, they do fit and work but they are a slightly different height so you have to move the outer silicone tubing up so it doesn't leak.

The design of the v2 and v2.5 provide the best flavor/vape.... v1 works well but flavor is muted compared to the others.

humm... personally i would love to see a new version nova tank with the air holes like the v1 had in addition to the bottom holes but still with the taller base (and increased capacity?) ect from the 2.5. the v1 i have here somewhere gets way better airflow on several of my mods than the v2.5 than gets almost completely choked off. i know i know use an adaptor but i dont wanna lol

I was able to confirm thru the other dealer that the v2.5 and the v3 are the same. It was actually very simply resolved by the other dealer, they had me PM gotvapes link, reviewed compaired to their's and all was done in 2 minutes. Might have been alot easier than all the back and forth in here. LOL

We have a very knowledgeable group of people here that love to help people. I am sorry if we didn't get your question answered in a clearer manner than we did. Just to reiterate on one thing, We have never nor will we ever sell knockoff items. We don't believe in it. The customer should get exactly what they want and we believe in giving them the best and most highest quality items we can find. I am glad you got that cleared up!

Will same cone fit Spinner and Vamo with Vision Vivi Nova and Mini Vision Vivi Nova? I usually shop at Madvapes, but other vendors will do.

Thanks.

If you want to cover the ego threads on the spinner, this one is nice for a mini nova

eGo Thread Sleeve Type D Small Tank - Fits All Std eGos CHROME [gv-egoTYPED-SmallTankeGoThreadSl] - $2.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

for the regular vivi nova....looks nice and adds a little support for the tank


eGo Thread Sleeve Type C Large Tank - Fits All Std eGos CHROME [gv-egoTYPEC-LargeTankeGoThreadSl] - $2.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more


Don't really need anything for the Vamo, but I use these............


eGo Thread Sleeve Type C Large Tank - Fits All Std eGos CHROME [gv-egoTYPEC-LargeTankeGoThreadSl] - $2.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

simply because I like to protect the threads on my mods, I always use some kind of adapter
