Vivi Nova on ego?

[T0rtitude]

I have two ego batteries. One is a smok Tech 900 mah usb passthrough, and the other is a 600 mah Smoov vv (twist type). They both have the same threading, whatever type that is. Today I bought a Vivi Nova mini (wrapper says "slim"). It's a Smok Tech, not a Vision. I'm feeling mighty stupid because the tank doesn't fit on my batteries lol. The threading on the tank is just a tad too small to screw into the ego threading. So I'm guessing I need an adapter of some sort. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of the correct adapter to make this thing fit? Thanks!

Thats weird. EGo batteries have 510 threading that threads into Novas. Unless you get a battery or a Nova that has a specific threading like 808 or sth.

I have no answer as they all should be 510 threading.
Here's a pic showing the 2 diff threads on the eGo- eGo thread and 510 thread:

LOL omg, it turns out that I'm extremely stupid. The tank has a springy thing on the bottom. Apparently I just had to press harder on the tank to make it screw into the threading. So it does fit.

Good job I forgot about that- spring is there so the battery post on the tank won't get pushed up- eliminates post pulling.

Do the batteries say EGO on them? If not there probably knockoffs. Sometimes the thread has a bit of coating try looking for a burr. If I'm wrong about the ego knockoff can someone correct me Ty.

It never occurred to me to press on it. I was gently turning the tank and nothing was happening. The threading on the tank looked too small for the threading on the battery lol. It was confusing me because I knew it should fit on there. I'm glad I decided to try one more time. Thanks for the help.

It doesn't say ego. I meant they were ego threaded types of batt. One is a Smok, the other is a Smoov. So I guess they would be knock offs, but Smok and Smoov make decent stuff. I've never noticed a coating. Everything has always fit on them fine until today, due to my own user error lol.

The eGo is a class/ style of PV. The main eGo brands are:
JoyTech eGo- fires @ 3.4 volts
Kgo/ Riva eGo- fires @ 3.7 volts
Smok Tech eGo- fires @ 3.7 volts
Realize your ST is a VV so the above doesn't apply.
"Sometimes" the knockoffs are superior to the original- I LOVE my Kgo but don't like my Kgo VV and I am not brand loyal but prefer to purchase the best gear regardless of the brand. Like the Smok Tech eGo PV and their 1.7 ohms cartos but don't like their Vivi Tanks.

Now that I've tried the vivi tank, it seems ok. The vivi seems to give more vapor and hit on the vv, but also has more of a plastic taste. The other Smok clearos (regardless of their ohm) taste fine but don't seem to pack as much of a punch.

A few have reported they have a plastic taste. Sometimes allowing the juice to sit in the tank for awhile cures this. Realize some acidic juices will damage/ destroy the plastic- one option is to buy a metal sleeve which would also eliminate the plastic taste. On my Kgo I use the 1.8 ohms.....on my Spinners and Twists 1.8 ohms @ 4.0- 4.2 volts but I like a warm/ strong hit.

I like the 1.8 ohm coil on my vision mini vivi nova as well and using 650mah straight voltage batterys. Lots of vapor and TH.

I like the 2.0 ohm heads on my ego batteries with my vivi nova mini. No plastic taste here, but I have the metal sleeve. I've had mine for over a month and have had no issues. I checked mine with my multimeter just to see what the ohms were, and they turned out to be between 1.9 and 2.1. That's not too bad considering what I've heard others reporting. Also, the heads are very easy to rebuild.

I'll have to give the metal a try. I'm liking it despite the plastic taste so far. Thanks for the suggestion.
