vivi nova tank stopped working

[gtrthang]

I have been using a vivi nova tank and it suddenly stopped working. I have tried replacing the heads and trying it on a different battery (a kgo and a VTube), but it isn't firing at all. I've tried a different vivi nova on both batteries and it works fine. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Make sure your center contact is making contact. Gently lift it with a dental pick/jewelers screwdriver/small knife just a lil' bit (1/32" - 1/64").

Thanks I'll try that tonight.

It is what it is, a China made product and you can't really expect anything that means quality out of it. I have 2 Vivi Nova tanks, both tanks work on my Provari but one tank doesn't work on my Lavatube 1, why? Because the quality control on them is crap, I compared them side by side and the posts at the bottom are of different lengths, from what you mention I assume it's just one of those quality control things, and you can't avoid them if you're using China made products, that's just the way it is.

It sounds like one of your nova's is a V1. As far as quality control, a lot of it depends on the vendor. Some vendors, like GotVapes, work with the manufacturers and come up with improved versions. That's why the current Vivi Nova version is v2.5

Also, I agree with Iffy that the center post is the likely culprit. I've found that most connection problems are because of the center pin on either the tank/carto or the battery itself.

OK, I tried that last night, the post is still sticking out some and should be making good contact. Any other ideas? I cheap, so I hate to toss it if I don't have to, especially since it was working great.

Try the base of your other tank with that head, see if you can narrow down what is not right. I have had a few heads that were DOA so check that first.
