Love this thing. The fact that you can break it down completely is fantastic. I screwed up and left the 2.4 ohm head in it instead of swapping to the 1.8. Im running the Kgo 3.7v, so to my understanding the 1.8 would be a better fit. Seems to be alright though. A bit of a hard draw, but if I draw slower it works well. Since I already filled the tank, ill just go ahead and keep this head in there until I'm ready to refill again.

But I like it! Its my first tank, and I must say I am very pleased with how it works. Hoosier shipped amazingly fast too. I think Brent sent it off Saturday, and it showed up Monday. I don't know how you could get much faster than that! I think ill pick up a aluminum tube for it. I hear people saying the plastic can crack with certain juices? Seems durable as hell to me though.. But I think a fully flat black tube would match my device better anyways.

Alright enough for me :)

P.S. A shoutout to Clovery for turning me onto this tank! :)

They are great, aren't they. I ordered 2 from Hoosier the other day, with some replacement tanks. I'm waiting for them now.

Then yesterday, Gotvapes got the 2.5s in stock. They have long wicks and the tank is made of a different plastic that's not supposed to crack. Naturally, I had to order one of those as well. But spare heads were only $1.50 (limit one). So, I believe I'm set for whatever juice I want to use. Once my wick and wire get here, I'll be good to go with a total of 4 tanks and 13 re-buildable heads.

Regardless of how durable the polycarbonate tanks seem, they WILL crack with the right juice. I had a Vision Stone tank crack after about 12 hours exposure to pineapple juice. It ain't pretty.

So glad you're happy with it! I got the vivi nova because as much as I love the stardusts, I'm not entirely fond of the idea of vaping out of plastic. So the vivi nova with the aluminum tank seemed like a great solution for me - it'd be perfect if they somehow figured out how to have glass tanks for it. I love this thing too, it's pretty much all I'm using when I'm at home. Here's a pic of my newly decorated KGO with my vivi nova:

I ordered another one (and a blue tank) from Welcome to hoosier ecig supply - The Best E-cigs, Juices, and accesories and I love how fast Brent gets my orders shipped out. I'm always amazed at how fast they arrive! I was originally eyeing the long-wicked V2.5 at got vapes but got tired of waiting for them to be in stock. I'm curious if anyone has both V2 and V2.5 and can do a comparison.

Glad to hear you love the new tank! Mine will (hopefully) be here on Thursday. I ordered from Hoosiers as well. I also ordered on Saturday. It was shipped out pretty quickly but the USPS website shows it still in Indiana! I hope they are just having issues with their tracking updates and I will be surprised tomorrow.

By the way- anyone know what juices are apt to crack this tank? I am thinking I may order the replacement tanks but I like the idea of a clear tank so I can easily see how much juice I have left. If it's not a juice I would be apt to use anyway I won't worry about it.

If that tank does crack, will the remaining parts still be able to be used on a replacement tank?

I just got my 2 kits of V2 from Hoosier Ecig yesterday, and am over the top thrilled with this thing! I also got both purple and blue aluminum tanks, haven't used those yet though. That purple looks so pretty on your Kgo Clovery! Flyer, mine does not have a tight draw, I am using the 2.4 head that came attached to it--and had read somewhere on another board that it was suggested to pull up the silicone cap that's on top of the head, just a tiny bit, and to also not screw the top on tightly, so that's what I did, and i can't complain. Like it better than my Stardusts, and believe me I really like those. Oh, also on the Vision website, they recommend washing the whole thing out first before using it, I only washed out the plastic tube with dishsoap and water, I didn't wash the wick/atty attachment. No off taste, tasted great from the very first puff, and I'm now on my second tank full and really digging it.

Oh how I'd love to learn how to recoil and rewick these things so that they'd last me forever, but I think that's probably out of my league, lol

Here's a thread about the juices that crack plastic. This will give you a good idea which ones to look-out for.

Woo Hoo!!! My Vivi Nova Clearomizer just arrived from Hoosier! I could kick myself for re-filling my CE2 clearomizer literally 5 minutes before checking the mailbox!

Any suggestions for getting that liquid back out without having to remove the rubber washer? The needle on my syringe is not long enough get it all out. Hmmm..., never mind, I just realized while writing this that I could just tip the tube and do it that way. Why am I continuing to write if I figured it out? I don't really know. I should go now...
