anybody want to give me a step by step for cleaning this bad boy? I looked around even on youtube and couldnt find much.
Thanks in advance

All I do is take it apart and rinse everything under warm water and set the atomizer on a paper towel to dry for about 24 hours. I have trouble dry burning though cause it seems to burn off the wicks even right after washing them in water. I bought some kanthal wire and plan on trying to re coil these bad boys myself soon. If anybody has any tips on dry burning, I'd love to know. Hope this helps!
I cleaned mine today by rinsing and then dry burning. It works well with my stardusts so thought I'd try it with the nova. Now it has a burnt taste to it. Wonder if I messed it up? Think I'm gonna have to change heads. Guess I'll try the above method next.
I take mine completely apart. Then I wash the head with warm water and put it on a paper towl, dap the wick like 10 times. Then I wash the rest of it out with warm water, dab it with a paper towl, then put it all back together and vape. I havent tried try burning yet. Havent had it but a week.
Ok...after about two weeks just cleaned my first one...can it really be that easy? Is there anything not to like about these? All the other clearomizers I've tried generated reactions from mild dislike to utter hatred.
Rick, I too am suspiciously fond of my VN. The only problem I have had with it thus far is that it does not properly screw onto my Provari Mini. Other then that it doesn't leak, doesn't gurgle, and tastes great on my Joye 18650 mod. There's got to be a catch.
The only thing I have noticed so far is that as the tank get close to empty the juice starts to darken and get thicker and wont wick as well. I was just dumping that last bit out and refilling but now i'm just adding to it and haven't noticed any negative on the taste.
So far this is the best I haven't filled a cart in days. I just ordered 4 more 1.8ohm heads and I hope with good cleaning they'll lst me a while.

I dont know what happened, last night I took a hit on the VN and my light on ego-t batt just blinked. So I took it apart and cleaned everything and got it back together and it worked. Same thing happened today but now after I put it back together, I get nothing but blinking on the batt. Is the atty head done already its been a week and half
i also just run it under hot water dab the wicks let dry over night and put back in when i switch flavs so i hope by runing two heads back and forth from day to day they will last a long,long time if so this will be the most cost effectif tank yet...
Well, anything can happen with a given atty, but mine is on 3 weeks and going strong...so if it is, I wouldn't think that's a typical lifespan.
Well I got it all at vapure and went back to pick up a couple diff things and I asked one of the mangers in there about it, he asked if I had the tank with me, I told him if I tightened it down on the batt all the way on it would just blink. But if I loosened it up a few threads it would work. Turns out my batts were going bad and he replaced em no problem. And I had them for almost 3 weeks. Great customer svc
Does the silicone cap on top of the heads have to go on a specific way? When taking it apart for cleaning the little metal ring fell out and I forgot which way it should go in. Does it matter or does the recessed part have a bearing?
I rinse out the tank, and just clean the head with a dry paper towel, dry off the tank refill and go, as long as yours has the shorter wick this should be fine. I haven't used the long wicked ones yet so I'm not sure if those need to be rinsed or not. This is how my local vendor suggested to do it.
Huh. I will tell you what happens: I screw the tank into the threads and it's very tight. There comes a point where I just can't screw it in any more but there's still a millimeter or so to go before it's completely "on". Does that make sense? I would rather replace a $15 tank than a $185 PV because I wrecked the threads.
That said, I am jealous. I bet the 2.8ohm head is wicked at high voltage

This is an issue with the Provari and Nova, saw it on a video review and just remembered. Even my KGO it doesn't go on 100% perfect. More like 99%. Most people wouldn't notice but I am picky enough to see it, lol. Doesn't impact functionality though.
I know this is the cleaning thread....but thought I would share a little tip about the fit.
It bothered me immensely that the connector projected out a bit too far, and it seemed to be loose in the threads. I could tilt it back and forth even after screwing in. I was a bit concerned about my provari threads.
I took a chain link from jewelry - (a very small key chain link). It had two wraps of wire to make the coil. Cut off one section of wire leaving one thickness. Put it over the 510 connector on the base of the VIVI and it rests right up against the base of the tank. It acts as a spacer - tank is solid now and does not tilt in the threads. Cheapest most perfect fix ever.
I'm sure there are other things that would work, but I had a bunch of the jewelry chain links, and it worked!

Oh, ok....I think I finally caught up. When tightened down enough (just needs to be mildly snug), there IS a tiny gap between the Provari and the tank. I don't think that's a fit issue, really. I wouldn't force anything as fragile as a tank, but I'll bet you would screw up the threads on the tank before the threads on the Provari.
As far as the head being great at high voltage...really, it's about the watts. If I was typically using the Nova on my Twist, I'd use the 2.4 ohm head. There's no inherent difference between the two...the 2.8 just needs a little more voltage to make the same heat (watts). At the same watts, the higher voltage/higher resistance combination creates a bit less drank on the battery, and a .1 volt increase gives you a slightly smaller increase in wattage, making higher voltage/resistance combinations a little easier to "fine tune". Between 2.4 and 2.8 ohms, I doubt very much you would even notice the higher sensitivity of the adjustment. You aren't really giving anything up.
If it's helpful, here are the relevant adjustments on the 2.4 ohm head and the 2.8 ohm head:
Volts Ohms Watts Amps
3.2 2.4 4.3 1.3
3.4 2.4 4.8 1.4
3.6 2.4 5.4 1.5
3.8 2.4 6.0 1.6
4 2.4 6.7 1.7
4.2 2.4 7.4 1.8
4.4 2.4 8.1 1.8
4.6 2.4 8.8 1.9
4.8 2.4 9.6 2.0
3.2 2.8 3.7 1.1
3.4 2.8 4.1 1.2
3.6 2.8 4.6 1.3
3.8 2.8 5.2 1.4
4 2.8 5.7 1.4
4.2 2.8 6.3 1.5
4.4 2.8 6.9 1.6
4.6 2.8 7.6 1.6
4.8 2.8 8.2 1.7
Mostly I vape around 4.5 volts on the 2.8 ohm head, which produces about 7.2 watts of heat to vaporize the juice, and draws about 1.6 amps from the battery. If I was using a 2.4 volt head I would drop the voltage to around 4.1-4.2 volts and it would produce the same vape, but be a little bit harder on the battery life (drawing about 1.7 amps). If you like more wattage (heat), you have more range on the Twist with a lower resistance head. Otherwise, you can adjust the voltage for the same effect with either head. Hope this helps!

After reading your post I tried the tank on the Mini again, and I got twice as many dry hits as I did when it was on the Joye. So I will continue to use my DCCs and DCC tanks on the Provari, and keep the Vivi on the Joye. It works really well there. I will also try it on the Siam Mod I am buying with my next paycheck
Yes, I have CMAS (Compulsive Mod Acquisition Syndrome) hahaha.
Thanks Rick
LOL...there's lots of that going around!
