Vivi nova tank "reacting" with battery

[Anise]

Hi y'all, I'm new here and to vaping so please don't think me too ignorant. I started using a 3.5 vivi nova tank about a month ago. I keep it filled almost constantly with strawberry eliquid and have 3 different batteries I use with it (2 are 1100, the 3rd is less but cant remember). Suddenly when I press the power button it blinks 3 times and no vape. I tried other tanks with the batteries and they work fine.
Is it time to change the coil or is the tank just possessed? BTW, I tried a total of 6 batteries (I believe in spares) and got same light blinking 3 times and nothing from tank. Anyone have any clue why this tank not only won't work but affects the battery too? Thanks in advance!

You don't say what mod you have, but the little searching I did came up with the light blinking three times means the attomizer is reading to low ohms to safely fire. You need to change the coil in it. The flashing light is a warning sign that something is wrong.

Coil is burnt and shorted, or got messed up, or ect. It's time to change the coil/tank and the battery is giving you the warning

Impressed that you kept it going for an entire month! Those coils usually only last a few days to a week. A new coil should fix everything and taste much better. You're doing great, gl.

If the coil change does not work it may be the 510 positive pin on the tank that is not making contact with the battery. It's been a long time since I used vivinovas but the center pin should be able to be pushed down slightly, enough to make contact again. Cheers.

Wow they're still selling and making vivi tanks... do yourself a favor and look into subtank or something along those lines...also you may want to look into dripping, you want to stay clear of the type of tanks or old school attys that use silica as a wicking material... cotton is the way to go my friend. Do your research and home work here on ECF. Reading and watching a few YouTube videos will help you have a better understanding of what's good and what's not. Welcome and good luck.....

I had a Vivi Nova that killed one of my eGo batteries.

I would suggest not trying an atomizer with a problem on multiple batteries should it happen again. Maybe time for a multi-meter? ($20)... good for testing i.m.o.

Maybe I was just unlucky, but I suspect not all permanent failures (short or otherwise) can be safely tested on old-tech batteries.

Just a thought. Good luck.

Mod? I'm sorry but you must be mistaking me for someone who knows what they're doing lol. Thank you and everyone else who replied. Changed coil and I'm able to use the tank again.
Right now I only use the pen types but as suggested will do research here and move up to something that will work with me and my budget I'm so glad I found y'all!

Glad to help!
If what you have is working and you are happy with it, carry on! No need to upgrade unless you want to, or your gear is broken.

I started out with the eGo batteries and had a Vivi Nova tank as well. Generally, if you gently pry up the center pin on the battery that's acting up, you'll find it makes good contact and works again. Gently is the key word here, and it usually doesn't take much prying to get it back to where it belongs.

Strange.

Flashing lights means recharge, or ohms outside range, or short

I agree with saw if what you have is working no need to upgrade learn your equipment and read as much about vaping as you can so when you do upgrade you have a better chance of getting what's right for you also you should go to new members thread and introduce yourself. Good peeps over there.

I love my Iclear 16s and automatic battery. If you like what you have no need to upgrade. I have a couple of box mods but always use my old friends. The mods are for theme parks. LOL
