Hey all! Just looking to be steered in the right direction since everyone seems to be alway so helpful around these parts! :)

I've got about a month of vaping under my belt, and I love it! currently vaping with the Kgo 1100mah battery. I was using the two stardusts that came with the kit, but they finally wore out I think. Well, one cracked, and the other started to taste like complete crap after awhile hahaha. 2 weeks ago I ordered up a Vivi Nova v2 kit, and absolutely love it. Beside it behing top heavy on my Kgo, its awesome!

So its time to stock up again for the coming month. I think I might order up 2-3 more Vivi's to have on hand, and some replacement heads. Ive been using the 1.8ohm heads, and they seem to work the best for my taste.

How often do I need to replace these heads in this thing? It came with 3, but I think the 2.8ohm head I wont use. Not even sure if I will use the 2.5ohm head either. I ordered an additional 1.8 head when I bought it, and havent even used that one yet.

But since I really enjoy the Vivi nova v2 I think I may snag a couple more setups since the only thing I have to vape with right now is the one I have on hand. Or is there something else you recommend I try? I liked those stardusts, but they didnt seem to last me very long for the price. 5 bucks each, and I went through 2 of them. After reading reviews a lot of people have issues with them cracking, and Im affraid of that as well. The 2 I had only one broke, and the other just started to have a funky taste after awhile. I washed them out in the process of a month, but Im guessing a month is about all ya get from them give or take? Thats ultimately why I went with the Nova tank. Seemed more economical to just replace the heads for 2.50 instead of replacing the stardust for 5 bucks. Also, does the bottem part of this tank ever need to be replaced? Not sure what you would refer to it as because Im still new to this. The whole thing comes apart, but only seem replacement parts for the heads, and tube itself. I plan on getting 2-3 aluminim tubes as well.

SO! Where do I go to get the best deal on these, some tubes, heads, drip tips, maybe a pack of cartos, and I really think I should snag some thread covers because the tank looks funny by itself just sitting on the kgo screwed in.

Any recommendations? Maybe a site with a nice promo code that has these, or something you recommend? Looking to order tomorrow, and figured id ask you all first and get some advice on whats out there, and where to go for the best bang for the buck :) I plan on ordering some juice as well. Was going to drop $100ish on supplies to get stocked up cause now I know Im sticking with this for sure :)

thanks all!!

Use the code 5off at Hoosiers for 5% off. Yeah, it's not that much but saves a few bucks. Brings the price of the Vivi Nova down below $12.00.

BTW, I'm using the 2.4ohm head on my KGO right now and it works fine.

Hang onto those 2.4 and 2.8 ohm heads. If you get a variable voltage PV some day, they will work great with it.

Alright ty! Yeah I was leaning towards hooiser actually. Last time I ordered there Brent shipping out riduclously fast. I figure ill put my order in there since it will be over 55 bucks to snag that free shipping as well :)

Yeah, Hoosier is a great vendor.

We need to talk one of these vendors into opening up a retail store in ElDorado Hills or Roseville or maybe Granite bay. Seems like any of those towns have enough health conscious people with the $$$ to make a physical store worth while.

Oh man that would be great! Yeah there is absolutely nothing around us to my knowledge. I usually shop online most of the time regardless though. Being up in Pollock there just isnt anything around me. Hell, id spend more in gas just getting to Sacramento!

But those clearomizers you linked look awesome. I had no clue some of them you could replace the heads with. The only thing that I would be concerned with is how long the plastic will hold up. I hear they all crack at some point. With the 2 stardusts I did have 1 cracked, and one the head just died I believe. Thats why im snagging a few aluminum tubes for the vivi nova. But in all fairness, no matter how I look at it, this is by far cheaper than smoking :)

Yup, not a dang thing here local. I know there are some over by the bay (and at least one in Modesto) but like you said its not worth the gas.

I am hoping the new clearos will be here tomorrow or Thursday, cant wait to try em out. I am hoping that the tanks are made of the same stuff as the ViviNova (heck Im REALLY hoping that they are just smaller Vivi's with a different tank form factor). If thats the case then the durability issues should be resolved. Ive burned up two stardusts already and a third is about to die... Im hoping these new ones are all they're cracked up to be as it would cut replacement costs in half. :)

Still, every penny spent replacing vaping gear is a penny not spent on analogs.
