If anyone else has been wating for the Vivi nova V2 they got em in stock at sure vapes dot com. Since all the modifications I had to do with the original I've been wating for the new version to hit my usual gear shopping spots to no avail; just figured id share where i found em if anyone else was still looking as well.
from the reviews ive seen so far it looks like the majority of the kinks have been worked out; however it doesnt appear that much from the V1 will translate over; cept maybe the drip tip and tube. got all my rebuilding modding tools at the ready just incase this one needs " work " too.
we'll see.

The guy from Gotvapes says all the parts are compatible between the V1 and V2.
I just ordered 2 more from Hoosier. They only have about 18 left. They had 60 yesterday.
I didn't know surevapes had them.
I'm sure they have a coupon code too, since I couldn't find one for Hoosier. :mad:
I also ordered a spool of 34ga. Kanthal-A and some silica wick from e-bay, so I'm ready!

Yeah, HC is cool if you're getting a bunch of stuff or when they're considerably cheaper. I've noticed that they're really no cheaper with a lot of the new, high demand stuff. In this case, their price is comparable to the $12.49 Hoosier price on the vivi nova and within a dollar or two of surevapes. They do have the clear tanks for only $1.60, which is pretty good, but I understand that the next batch will have plastic tanks in colors and they'll be formulated to resist cracking. Hopefully, they'll be made like the Fluxomizer tanks. Meanwhile, I picked up some $4 metal tanks at Hoosier for those acidic juices. They look pretty cool too.

I have one coming as well. v2.5? Whats the difference with those?

Supposedly, according to Gotvapes, there are some improvement in the head and the plastic tanks are reformulated to resist cracking. They'll come in colors as well.

I just hope those improvement in the head aren't the kind of "improvements" that make it impossible or more difficult to recoil them. Just to be safe, I got a couple more, which gives me a total of 9 recoilable/rewickable heads. I can live with that. They work pretty darn good as is. I might try re-wicking a few with cotton. I hear that's supposed to really improve the flavor. I don't know of any other rebuildable atomizer tanks you can get for $12.50.

Good lord. Version 2.5 already. I still have yet to get my v2 head in the dam mail. How do we keep falling for this place? With all the versions they come out with for everything they must have lost a lot of customers by now? I swear if this v2 sucks I am done with vision. Testing my ....

For anyone wanting to know. Mad Vapes also has the v2.

I got my Vivi Nova v2 on Friday and stuck it on my Apollo SS Mini LT. I had some issues, but I've figured them out. I like it. I took it to my local shop to sample some juice and they were pretty impressed with it. I had purchased 3 extra 2.8 ohm heads and I think (like Sailorman), I'm going to pick up a few more. I'm probably going to ahead and order a few more tanks, but I'll wait till gotvapes.com gets them as they are a little cheaper than esmokeronline is selling them which is where I got the one that I do have.

I was pretty P.O'd when Vision dropped the Vision Stone 3 and replaced it with the Vivi Nova. But I'm glad I waited for the V2. I don't think the V2.5 is going to be anything earth shattering. I seriously doubt that it'll work much better, if at all, than the V2. I hear gotvapes might be ordering them with longer wicks. IMO, that's a step backward. The shorter wicks work better than the long wicks of my Stone tanks.

The most significant improvement would be the crack-resistant tank. But I have some metal ones coming, so no big deal to me. My main concern is that the screw up the heads to make it hard, or impossible, to re-coil them. That's what they did to the Stardusts. But with 9 heads and 3 metal tanks, my three Vivi V2s should last me quite a long time.

The people from Gotvapes have been working on this "v2.5" Vivi with Vision since the v1 Vivi, so it really not a new model just a Gotvapes specific v2.

shows out when i check em, wish they did have em as i wanted to get other things when i ordered mine that surevape didnt carry and madvapes does. but their site does say they got a number of the new heads.
They are out of the tank. I just ordered a single head to try out. Was thinking of the VS3. Its way better then the Nova. Got 7 heads for it.

I am glad they did come out the the VS3. Thats the only thing they made that works for me.

Funning some more with the Vision Stone3 Part ducey. - YouTube

I liked the VS3 a lot, especially compared to the VS2. But now I have one with a fogged up tank that's ready to blow at any time and innards might get hard to come by. So, I'll use it as long as it lasts unless I can find somewhere to get a replacement tank and innards.

The VS3 might have a slight edge in flavor, but I still think the Vivi V2 is better overall. I want to see what happens with cotton wicks. That might be the deciding factor.

Go to madvapes. Order a metal tank for the Nova. Its the same size as the tank for the VS3. Same exact thing but u can pick a color and it will never break. They also currently have over 400 innards in stock.
