VIVI Nova users beware

[Cobber]

I just lost the spring and a battery from my silver bullet dead shorting out from a VIVI.

If you have one make sure you have protection!

Any one know where to get a hot spring and the 2cent fuse from a Canadian vendor?

JR Custom Turnings has the 2 cent Fuses.

Damn, I just got 2 Vivis and will have them in hand tonight after I got to the PO. Well, my PVs have protection but still, ugh.

Just saw on Grimm Greens facebook he has 2 dead hot springs and batteries form the same thing ... maybe this is just a silver bullet vivi thing.


Thanks Chelly! No I just need to find hotsprings

Yikes, I just got my Vivi Nova 2.5 tonight. I only have a eGo Twist and a couple eGo-C batteries. No problems so far, but since I'm using the 2.8ohm head, I've got it on my twist right now, and I would cry if i fried it.

The ego is protected. I think you are ok. It's just the mechanical apv guys

I love my Vivi! Use it on my provari. and make new coils all the time. I like the fresh vape When I do rebuild the coil I always take care to make sure the small heat shield(?) is placed properly so that I don't have any contact from the coil to the body of the Vivi.



... and yes I like to make longer wicks

Could you not score one from an old flashlight that doesn't work?

A flashlight has a spring.

The "hot spring" is a type of fuse that breaks the circuit if there is a short in a mod. It self destructs to protect the PV.

The Twist and others have electronic protection that disrupts the circuit when a short circuit occurs and continues operation when the short is removed.

Yes and the spring would get hot! ttthhrrrbbbbbtttttt

On a more serious note then you should add a PTC to it

I've collapsed a spring before. I stretched it back to length and it was all good. Tried that, or is it fried?
