Vivi Nova just came in

[nkr501]

Well, my Vivi Nova v3 or 2.5 whichever some vendors like to call it just came in. Compared to the DCT kit that I got with my LT this is on a completely different level.
3.5V with the 2ohm head is complete bliss. Great flavor, awesome vapor production.

The Vivi Nova tank is definitely something that I would reccomend to anyone wanting to try a tank on their PV. Tomorrow I am going to try out my 2.4ohm head and play with the voltages a little more.

The general rule of thumb as a starting point for playing with voltage is to add 2 to the resistance of the atty/carto/tank you're using, and then adjust from there to suit your preference.

E.g., on a 2.4ohm Vivi Nova head, I'd start off around 4.4 and adjust up and down to see what you like.

Another satisfied vivi owner .. Thats why i suggest them so much best ive found after hundred's of dollars wasted: vtube & vivi nova. Next best I would have to spend 400.00 which isnt needed.

 

[nkr501]

Thanks for the tip. I just bumped it up to 4 and it just vaped like a train.
I am still within my first few days of a VV, so its taking a little getting used to.

Remember the vivi nova cant handle higher voltages so start lower I'd say 3.7

No kidding. I am still going to use my cartos for the flavors that I don't vape as often, but I ordered a new atty and a drip tip too for when I am sitting around at home to mix things up a little. I will probably get another tank later, but for now one is more than enough.

I didn't know that. What happens to them at higher voltages? Kills the heads on them?

 

[iamtumus]

it doesn't wick fast enough for high voltages i've found....
all 3 of the resistances i've tried work best around 4.5

I got my vivi nova minis last week...LOVING them! I have noticed the best performance on my eGo Twist to be at 4.2v with the 2.4ohm heads...but what is kind of odd to me, is with the 2.8ohm head, over 4.0v starts tasting burnt. I saw 3 or 4 other people mention the exact same thing on another thread, so I'm not sure what thats about. The 1.8ohm heads seem to be great at 3.6v on the Twist, or on my regular eGos. I just ordered the 3.2ohm head, so I;m curious to see how that performs and at what voltage.

Definitely loving these things though, probably the best, most consistent vape I have found to date, plus extremely easy to use. I also ordered a few more 2.4ohm heads, as that seems to be my sweet spot at 4.2v on the Twist

OMG Mine just got here too and after having that odd taste from my Boge Cartos for so many weeks now I'm in love! These things are awesome. First tank system I've used and I'm sold. Gonna order like 10 more for all my DIY flavors LOL. Did some ohm tests on the atty heads though and found they're not exactly what's printed, the only one that was accurate was the 2.8. The 2.4 that came installed was coming in at 3.0 and the 1.8 was more like 2.4. I prefer 3.0 or higher for my twist and home made APVs so no issue really. Just gotta play around with the different thickness of juices and the heat you're putting out. If you start getting a burnt taste just lower the voltage until you find that sweet spot for the head/juice combination you're using.

I ended up ordering more of the 2.8ohm heads. I probably should have waited to try all of the heads, but it takes a week for anything to get to me. I'm not in the country at the moment :/
I am going 3.8V with my 2ohm head right now but I am switching the heads out tomorrow. I am going to try a different head for the next 3 days to find which ones suit me best, then order more of those later.

Looks like I possibly set myself up for failure with my premature order of the 2.8s

ive been using 2.4ohm @ 4.4v or so. vivi's dont like to go any higher no .. Still a warm hit though.

 

[donnah]

The ohms of my heads vary wildly. Theyre never the resisance thats advertised. If you dont know the exact resistance (i meter mine on my provari) then start low and adjust to taste.

Ive also discovered that two heads that meter the same resistane can be different as far as the voltage they like. My only rule of thumb (for me and mine) is to start out low and go from there. Each head (or coil) seems to have its own unique personality!

 

[nkr501]

My 2ohm head is reading 1.9 on my device. No telling how accurate my LT is as far as ohm readings. I haven't messed around with the others yet. I opened the box, filled the tank and went about my day.

 

[DantesInferno]

Just rebuilt my first vivi nova head this evening. Shocked how simple it was. Had gotten used to rebuilding the coils for my phoenix so I had the coil making down. But actually disassembling and reassembling the vivi head is a cinch.

 

[Razloz]

Yea I'm completely in love with these things. Gonna pick up some cheese cloth and resistance wire in a week or two and remake the heads, but until then they're performing extremely well. Just switched out my DIY thin mint with my DIY chocolate caramel and...YUM! Flavor is coming through so much better than in my cartos. Oh yea and so easy to clean!

 

[Levitas]

Heh, just got mine in today as well.

Funny thing is, it comes in the mail with the 2.4ohm head attached. On the ProVari it's reading 3.2ohm, and yes, the 2.4 is marked on the head

I'm sure it's a minor mistake, no biggie really.

I am curious to hear if anyone else who regularily uses Boba's Bounty has tried the juice with this tank. I would like to hear their input on the flavor.

Yeah I've used bobas in these. I think it mutes the flavor on just about all juices. Not bad though. I actually prefer some coffee vapes in these because in other things they're super strong.

Right on. I was thinking of trying a different flavor in this tank as well. I am going to try some chocolate tobacco and some of this reknowned Gandalf from HHV soon. Maybe one of those might be a better choice for this tank.

 

[nkr501]

I have some RY4 and Maple tobacco on the way that I want to try in this tank. I am vaping Halo's Tiki Juice right now, which I have to say is awesome so far.

I also have a vanilla/mint creature that I custom ordered that might be worth a shot in the tank too. Why not right?
