Vivi nova leaking

[donna_]

I know this thread is a bit old but while finding it, thought I'd ask if this is an authentic Vision if anyone knows?
https://www.surevapes.com/Vision-Vivi-Nova-35ML-v25-Kit_p_113.html

I got it yesterday and really loved the initial flavor/throat it but it quickly was leaking -- around the sides so I guess from the top seam. Seems every time I took the top off to make sure things were not lose or to add more juice it worsened. If I try another one, is there advice on where to buy one? Or is this usually a good place. It is my first time doing business with them. I usually use myvaporstore.com but their prices are better on some things.

I hate to spend more money as have tried different things to no avail. My Evods are the most reliable but I liked the throat hit with tanks and wanted this too as it seems easy to clean. Not real fond of cartomizers both taste wise and dependability. Also, I use all VG juice with an ego twist, vision twist and an ego-t batteries if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

What is pictured is a real Vision Vivi Nova. You can always tell by looking at the heads. The real ones have a flat rubber top heads like the one on the left. The clones have the pointy metal top on the heads.



If yours is leaking on the outside of the body, I would return it. That is probably caused by either a small crack, or a messed up seal. If it was leaking down the center post onto the battery then it would be an issue with that particular head and could be fixed.

I will add that those are plastic and some juices will corrode and crack them. What juice were you using?

Thanks for the photo Scott, I appreciate it. Mine is authentic it seems. I kind of thought it was, but something else I was sent made me wonder -- though I think it was dated stock (the other item) that had since changed.

As for flavor I put a tobacco in it with a little caramel. I knew of the plastic warning and was going to order a metal tank if I liked it. I read a real interesting post about why vivis leak...it's on another forum but it sounded reasonable enough. Does your Vision Vivi Nova v2.5 get intermittent "mystery leaks"? This may be why... - General e Cig Discussion - Vapor Talk E Cig Forum

Kind of falls in line with why it was worsening when I removed the top lid -- not sure if it's the reason but thought I'd post it for future readers. I"m not sure I understand what they mean by the fix for it and it sounds like a risk anyway. I had to tighten the older evod heads -- no tools required == (new ones don't loosen as much it seems) but this sounds a little different.

I'll probably try one of the spare heads the kit came with some juice I don't like or something but it's almost not worth returning things for me that are under <$10 due to my location etc. Sadly this makes for a lot of being nickle and dimed to death...bad cartos, heads etc.

Maybe I'll try it again later -- the switch from smoking to vaping has gotten kinda pricey but as I go through what works and doesn't (including juice) the cost should go down. Thanks again.

I see this thread is old, but.....I wrap some dental floss (2 wraps) under the oring. It seems to have stopped the leaking on my Vision VIVI. Learned this trick trying to tighten up the body on the octopus RDA.
