Vivi Nova is in da house..

The 2.4 ohm head measured exactly at 2.4 on the Provari. Fluffed up the wicks a bit, put it together & filled it to 2.8ml. Nice and easy process. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and then attached it to the Provari. Sits very nicely on the Provari.

Set the Provari to 4.5 (total 8.5Watts) and hit it.

Nice thick vapor, but the flavour did not come through. Vaped it for about 5 minutes, and still not getting much flavour. This has been the concern of the folks reviewing it, and I have to say I agree with what they have found. I'm hoping that it's just a break-in issue and it will improve as the day wears on.

Keep y'all posted.

Thanks, I am curious how it works after a little break-in. I have one that should be arriving any day now. I kinda plan to re-coil and re-wick it with stainless mesh.

That does look interesting.
Any sign of leaks?

No leaks, but already getting burnt flavour.

4.5 on a 2.4,you are adventurous!

What I gathered so far about it is you got to vape a couple ml before its really broken-in and that is if the coil doesnt pop 1st.

I`d break it in at 3.2-3.5 top

Still going strong. I did trim down the silicone cap that sits on top of the coils to allow better wicking on it and it's made a HUGE difference. It's still not fully broken in though, I can still get a slight plastic-ky taste off it. The flavour is improving though.

Keep the updates rolling in Dusty. I've been interested in these... Can you use any ol 510 drip tip on these?

 

[Dusty_D]

Yes you can, although I did notice that the base of the drip-tip (part that the o-ring sits on) is slightly longer on the one they send you. The drip tip sits in a little cup like hole in the top-cap of the Vivi and a standard 510 drip-tip leaves a little gap in the bottom of that cup for either condensation or juice to collect. Does not alter the quality or quantity of the vape though.
