Vivi Nova tank. Please help!!!

[sam_d1990]

Ok so i bought my Vivi nova tank about 2-3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems with it since i bought it. i have tried cutting the little rubber cap so to reduce restriction on wicking. I have bought 2 replacement heads for it and also rebuilt about 4 different heads for it also, still no joy. Just really nasty dry burnt hits over and over.
i thing the replacement heads i got i think were around 2ohms a rebuilt heads were 1.8-1.9

So its just laying around doing nothing so i would lie some advice as to what i could try to get it working. All the revues i have seen about the Vivi nova were pretty outstanding

I am using this on my itaste VV V3 and have tried it from 6w and upwards so i do not have a clue whats going wrong :/

Anything that will help me get this going would be amazing thanks people.

i have just tried my evod tank on my itaste VV V3 also and i seem to be getting the same with that. The only things im not seeming to get the dry burnt hits from are mt iclear 16, iclear 30 and iclear 30B. All my other clearo's and tanks i seem to just get bad hit any ideas why?

I chucked all mine hard as i could against the brick shed wall in that backyard, because i got fed up with the dry hits,no matter how long i let those wicks soak.

Then just went bottom burner tanks from there on out..

Sounds like you are not getting enough juice or using too high of a voltage/wattage setting.

You don't mention what type juice you are using but if it's a high VG juice then you may need to thin it to get it to flow properly. Distilled water (5 to 10%) or PG will thin it and help if that is in fact the issue.

You may want to just turn down the voltage and see if that helps.

I don't have any problems with the BDC Vivi-Nova-S tanks

What type vivi nova are you using? If it has a little pointy metal top on the head it's a smoketip type clone and none of them ever worked good for me. I still use the vision brand every day. I attempted to modify the smok type with notches but all it did was flood and gurgle. I haven't used the bottom coil nova.

Greetings, welcome to the forum, sorry to hear that you are having a bad experience.

I'm trying to picture the 'little rubber cap' that you cut, could you post a picture?

Changing your coil from 1.8 to 2.0 oHms shouldn't make much of a diff. One common reason for dry hits with top coil clearomizers is failure to do the tilt-and-swish, to keep the wicks saturated.

You could always think about trying a different type of clearomizer, such as a bottom coil model. The starting period in vaping can be frustrating, but once you find a setup that works for you, you'll be good to go.

thanks people from what you have said i think its a clone. As for the liquid im using it does not tell me pg/vg % but it does contain both, also its hangsen liquid that i buy duno if this helps. I am sorry but i cant upload pics at the mo sorry

Vivi Nova? Hardly cutting edge tech.... 6w isn't very much at all. Hangsen should be fine. Is it a Vision one or a clone? Are you swooshing/swilling? What are you rebuilding with? Have you tried microcoil + cotton wool?
They're OK (just about)... but can't take "power vaping" or chaining.

i have just been looking around n thinking im just sticking with the iclear 30B for a while seems like a pretty quality tank n not had any problems n does keep up on chain vaping pretty well to

Good idea.

The vision novas can be extremely long lived if you rebuild them. Any plastic clearo that can last a year and a half with rebuilding is the kind I like. I still have quite a few I've never used.....yet.
