I'l give you Texas if you give me One free prescript. from Dr. Gummy when I need it:2cool:

Cool. Ya know this ViVi Nova seems to me to have a lot going for it. It is rebuildable, holds a fair amount of juice it is easy to fill. And with 2 air holes you can adjust the draw, takes a standard drip tip. Not much more I could ask for. And not a bad price either. I would like to be able to order a hand full of replacement rubber seals.

Took the words out of my mouth, but I use untreated unwaxed, boiled and dried pure cotton candle wick. Anything wrong with the Vivinova is fixed with cotton and, apparently, doubling the legs (I gotta try that). Did I mention that it is 510 threaded and screws right in to my Vmod XL? All it needs is a 306 tip.
Seriously, I have a rebuildable for my bottom feeder. Are there any others out there yet? For the $$ in my HH.357, I have enough materials to make at least a hundred atomizers at the resistance of my choosing. Tastes great, no filling. yuk yuk
Ripe Strawberry from altcig is good enough to eat... :drool:

I've only experience with one Vivi Nova Tank. The one I got wouldn't screw onto any of my ProVari/Mini's. They sent me an adapter, that got it onto the ProVari. Not happy with the gap the adapter creates, but at least it mounts now. The 1.8 coil only lasted one day. The 2.4 coil lasted maybe two days, now it's dead. I'm on the 2.8 coil now. Only using 3.7v. Don't notice any burning and I vape pretty much continuous when I'm awake. When this coil goes it's back to my leaky ole Vision Stone. Been using the Stone more than a month. Wish these "new" coils would last like the Stone coils. JMHO

Cheers,

Ya know the only improvement I can see that I wish the factory would do is to make the metal tube that the coil goes into out of ceramic. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the coil touching the side wall and shorting it. one of my wife's did that and it gunked up fast. She kept saying that it didn't taste right too. The wick had some charring on it as well.

I've been playing with one a bit, and it's pretty decent so far. I bought the first round, and had to file the center pin down quite a bit. Never fired the head before re-wicking it with 2 pieces of cotton yarn, and making sure that I didn't get any burnt gasket taste (can't stand even the thought of that.) I think 2 pieces of yarn was a bit much, though. I also did some gauze that was too fat... I'll have to try some stretched bunny balls, next. ;)

Anyway, I twisted a strand of no-resistance wire on each side of the resistance wire the 2 times that I rebuilt it, and even after clipping most of the twisted tails off of each side, it was devilishly difficult to situate the wire in there without it shorting to the cup around it. I have to agree on the sentiment that ceramic would be nicer, Gummy.

I suppose that I'll try a different method for the legs, like the doubled legs mentioned above. I haven't seen any mention of how or whether they fixed that issue with the new v2.5 heads. I have seen a pic that showed some sort of insulator inside of the cup, but it looked suspiciously like glass fiber mesh. I suppose it could be ceramic, but I can't tell.

That did make me wonder about lining the inside of the cup with some cotton fabric with a couple of slits for the wick to go through, to prevent metal-on-metal contact. I think I'd have issues with it staying in place while pushing the coil and wick in. I also think it may cause juice to pool in the cup. I'll have to think on that some more.
