One thing I will say negative about the nova is it had a bit of a funny taste for the first tank full, but after that its fine. I've encountered that was thing with the vision & generic clearos as well.  Some so bad I had to soak the things before using them for the first time
.


Many of us have discovered that we would be wise to clean this stuff before using it for the first time. Never know what China left in there. That also may be part of some people's bad experience at the start of using it. And, the stuff in there, no doubt varies in amount from device to device. I first found this out putting a replacement head in the Kanger T2. After i cleaned the 6 heads that i had at the time, everything was good afterwards.

Yea, there's definatly a lot more involved in this hobby than I expected. Prep and maintaining wise. So is everything ecig made in china? Like even the brand name stuff like smoktech and vision?

Please for the love of all things holy STOP calling these things tanks.They arent tanks they are refillable and rebuildable clearomizers.

I am eating my words, Zapped.

I've suddenly had nothing but problems with anything vision....

I snatched up a REAL tank from Ibtanked along with some cartos and a carto puncher. I literally am vaping some very flavorful juice that if I didn't know any better I'd think was just pure vg because that's ALL I CAN TASTE in this vivi nova. And my other vivi nova tastes like burnt poop.

I've successfully wasted about five mils each of my favorite juices trying to clean, and trim, and mod, and fiddle with these novas.

I will be VERY impatiently awaiting my order. I placed it saturday and I'm really REALLY hoping I don't have to go any longer than Wednesday with this horrible clearomizer. How long does ibtanked usually take to ship?

Try a T3 before u write off clearos, I find with the Vivi you are only getting about 50 % of your juice flavor.

I got some T3's on order myself; although I've heard a ton of issues with them as well with muted flavor and leaking. But I'm hoping for the best and it makes sense that the bottom coil would get rid of the dry hit issue. I know not to never try something because of a few bad reviews since some things I like and have good luck with, others seem to hate... the nova being one. Not sure if it's different strokes for different folks, or if its because some people get generic ones and others get name brand.

I've heard a lot of people are moding/messing with them right out the box for better function and flavor... Can't remember exactly, think it had something to do with removing a plastic piece or part of the wick. Do you do anything to them, or just use them straight up?
