Vision Vivi Nova with no air flow?

I think I have an answer.

Does your coil head positive post look like the one on the left. If so you're fine.

If it looks like the one on the right... Well, It won't work.


Oops!!! somebody forgot to machine something.


I have 12 coil heads, only one had this bad positive post.

Hi Boden,
Looks like one got missed there.

Figured this out the other night when I changed out the plug for one to be used with the SmokTech ReDux. Was absolutely baffled for a second when it was pretty much a sealed vessel haha

When my Vision Vivi Nova arrived it came with 3 heads. One of the 3 (the 2.4 Ω one, sadly) had such a tight draw it was the proverbial golf ball through a garden hose! Upon further inspection I noticed that the through hole was a tiny bit smaller than on the other heads.

The troubleshooting I went through to figure out it was the head and not any of the other pieces was fun

Yep that will do that. Was it a Vision or a clone and which Vivi was it the Vivi Nova?

I wish the head was my problem. I opened one of 3 new "genuine" Vision Novas, filled it, stuck it on a Provari, and got no air flow at all. It's fine when not on a battery, but once screwed down, nothing. I discovered that there is no air hole in the stem just above the threading. Once you start to screw it into the battery, all air flow is cut off. Unless I drill my own hole, the base is useless.

Fortunately, the other 2 are OK.
