Nice looking coils. Would be worth trying if ordering other items to break down the shipping cost per item.

A glimpse of how the tool is used is in the tutorial I posted. The tutorial is long & I would not imagine anyone not currently building the ceramic grail head mod to read the whole tutorial, so you may have easily passed the threader/saber part over.
GOIN FISHIN
The threader/saber is inserted into a coil & once through the tip gets loaded with the wick. Then you pull the wick into & through the empty coil, as opposed to winding the coil on a wick/pin/screw or pushing/spinning a tightly twisted wick into an already made empty coil.

Looks like they tweaked it a bit, but I am much more interested in the GotVapes SplitFire version that gdeal posted.

You're on up on me there, I never did figure out what the "flythreader/coilsaber" is or how it is used. Maybe someone should have taken me fishing.

Think of it as an oversized needle threader. Push the loop of the threader through the coil. Put the wick through the loop of the threader and pull the threader through the coil to get the wick inside the coil.
You can also use a scrap piece of Kanthal or other wire. Put one end of the wire through the coil, loop it around a piece of wick. Feed that end of the wire back through the coil. Then pull the wire and wick back through the coil.
Ugh. While it would be nice to be able to easily change the head without disassembling the tank, the v8, 9, and 10 vivi novas up there all take a step backward for me.
Much longer changeable head that's not compatible with the existing devices, and look a bit more difficult to rebuild.
Built-in mouthpieces made of cold, hard metal, and too long for my liking.
Personally, I'd like to see some company make the old-style heads with a slightly wider, ceramic cup screwed into a metal base. Perhaps ceramic cup could have a channel for the negative wire to run into that would clamp it to the metal base when assembled.

Agree with that LucentShadow.
I can't find a ceramic cup bigger than 4.5mm ID even to mod. I may buy a piece of this and start chiseling it myself....
3" x 3/8" Diameter MACOR Rod Form
If the VIVI guys in China are listening. MAKE US A 6-8MM WIDTH CERAMIC CUP HEAD. The bigger the better...
Sure hope these versions don't replace v2. I prefer to be able to use different tips (color code for different juices). If v2 gets harder to find, I'll be investing in a few dozen or so before they're gone
I change my heads without disassembling the tank. It's quite easy with a minimal amount of effort and tools, just something to simulate a wide tip screwdriver and some fairly small tipped tweezers or the equivalent to pull things out of the tank and put clean parts back.

Is there a site or thread I could go to that shows the difference between versions of the vivi nova?
v1 has a recessed top cap and the head has a thin metal piece in the silcone top. v2 has a flat top and has a thicker metal piece in the silcone top. also one or the other has a longer head i think it is v2
Appreciate the information. Would you know the version of this head?
looks like a v1 head to me.
that also looks like a stardust head, what kind of nipple top does it have?Appreciate the information. Would you know the version of this head?
notice the larger amount of silicone at the top and the stoping line of metal on the v2.
Thanks guys. Based on sgehrking's picture, I seem to have a v1 but my grommet seems to be much thicker and the top cap is not recessed. Aside from that, mine looks exactly like a v1. Do you have a picture of what a 2.5 looks like?
EDIT: Could mine be a knockoff? Although I highly doubt it. This is what the whole head looks like:
and what the whole unit looks like (the green vivi is the clear one spray painted):

I have not ever seen a full up to date breakdown of the confusing ViVi version #s. I imagine some copies may vape better than or equal to the original Vision product.
Shofixti, I would imagine the Philippines & US get different final store products from Vision for their markets. I read somewhere that the V in [V]ision on the retail box on some fakes do not have the 2 red accents.[Likely because printers often charge by the color.]
From your nice pix, they seem to fire vapor shots very nicely for you

If it helps any, this was sold to me as a ViVi V2.5
