vivi nova question

[young gotti]

So i recently got into the vivi nova's....i don't mind them, i get good vapor and flavor, throat hit is so so

however on my mod with a deep drip well they don't sit straight, almost like they screw in and work but like they are lose, i could grab the tank and move it straight but any pump throws it off....tonight it won't go straight it's basically going back and fourth....either tilted one way or the other but not straight...does anyone know if i'm stripping my mod? or any solutions on getting it straight

try a 510-510 connector. maybe it will give you the support needed to keep it straight.

Ive found the threads to be the weakest part of the Vivi Nova

Oh, I don't think it's a bad thing that they go thru juice so fast. It just means they are doing what they're meant to do-the wicks work. The thing I don't like about them is that at around the halfway mark, they stop wicking so well. Not a big deal with the mini sized ones, but it sucks with the regular tanks. You have to dip and twirl to avoid a dry hit. That's the drawback with any wick type system-gravity works against them.

Get one of these eGo Steel Sleeve Cone (Type C/Type D/Type E/Type F) [F-D7 DC TypeCD] - $2.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail , Type C. Thread it on all the way, then put your vivi on. When the vivi feels snug (don't over tighten it -- activate battery to make sure it has contact), loosen the adapter until it's snug with the base of the vivi. Then you should have a 1 or 2 mm gap where the adapter would meet the battery if it were all the way tightened. I'd attach a pic but nah.. Stops the wobble and keeps the vivi from pushing in the battery contact which happens if you tighten it all the way on.

Unraveling and fluffing the wicks help a ton for when they get low on juice. With a fluffed wick I haven't had any issues with dry hits whatsoever.

Here's that pic of what I was talking about.
