So I just got the Vivi Nova V5 and have been using it for a week. Not impressed unfortunately which was very disappointing. I had high hopes as I have vaped the V3 for so long now and pretty much love it for the most part other than the obvious that EVERY device screwed onto a mod seems to have. Its all give and take and trade off in this business. The V5 leaks like crazy I find, and the flavor is not that great. I finally went back to the V3 after trying a few juices and vaping nothing but the V5 and I was back in heaven. Much more flavor a lot less leaking if any most of the time with the exception of a very occasional spudder into the mouth!! lol. The vapor and the throat hit on the V5 are Great! In fact it seems that the V5 bumps up the throat hit on everything. Little much at times! And I love the style and the look. Its beefier, and more chrome like. But Ill take V3 over the V5 for now. Unfortunately i'm also noticing that V3's are becoming tough to get. Are they phasing them out?? Hopefully not!! Well thats about it!! Thought I would share.

The V5 isn't a Vision product... the knockoffs can be pretty bad. Sorry you bought a bad one, but I would just stay away from anything not Vision branded.

My Vision Vivi Nova has yet to leak. There are lots of variations of the theme out there.
I'm waiting for the Kanger Pro Tank to be available. It looks like a well made tank and a good bottom coil design.

okay well that must be the deal. I wonder why everyone is out of V3's any idea?? According to the website I got it from which also has a few other vivi nova's I didn't know about it Is made by Vision. And the box it comes in down to the way its packed is Identicle! Vision Vivi Nova v4 Tank Kit with 3 Coil Heads Let me know what you think!!
Yeah they are knockoffs. Vision should really come down on them to protect their name, it's one thing to call a product the Vivi Nova, it's another to call it the "Vision Vivi Nova" V10 or whatever.
A lot of products are sold out right now what with Chinese New Year closing down the factories for a few weeks in January/February. Stick with Vivi Novas bought at authorized sellers like Got Vapes. They won't leak. Actually now that I have switched to a bottom coil style, I prefer that to the Vision, getting no dry hits and better taste.

Well, what do you know! I clicked the Contact Us link on that site and they are in Cumming, Ga. Another vendor in my state! I get next day delivery from one vendor in that same city if I order in the morning and USPS doesn't take their own sweet time with it.
That looks legit. The link to Vision Vivi Nova also shows the V10 with a Kanger Pro Tank style built in drip tip. Looks cool. I didn't know that anything above V3 was out. This is a new design.
You have to be careful. I just ordered 6 heads for my V2.5 Vision Vivi Nova mini and they came in labeled as Viva. I went back to the site and it was called Vision Viva Nova. I missed that when I ordered. They have the same laser etching on the side of the head and single rope wicks. Those work fine and fit like the real thing. I was pleased with the product but a little miffed that they used a little deception. Using the Vision name with a misspelled model name was two strikes. Good thing they worked fine.
I think we are seeing valid products shipped out the back door of Chinese plants. Back in the 70's there were knockoffs of Accutron watches where the o in Accutron was a rounded A with a bar on the bottom to make it look like an o at first glance.

Thanks for the heads-up, just in case. I am from The Peach State as well, placed an order from them last Friday, and received it THE NEXT DAY. So far I've been pleased with the performance of what I ordered (an eGo twist), haven't gotten around to trying the juice I ordered there yet.. I plan on ordering from them again. In fact, tomorrow. I was just 'testing the waters', so to speak, and so far I like what I see.

Ive never had qa problem with the v5 mine does not leak and has great taste and vape.
Vivi Novas even the original Vision one I tend not to recommend anymore. The era of the plastic tank is over, I'd try a Kanger Pro Tank, at this point there is no reason to buy a plastic tank that is known to crack with certain juices.
Sounds a little dramatic to me. I have a few mini novas and cracking tanks is not a problem I've encountered.
I bought a V9 Nova (thinking it was a Vision product) and never got it even vaping.
Nothing wrong with proper Vivi Novas at all. Nothing wrong with some of the "copies", it's just finding a good one could cost money and waste time.
That is disgraceful. The name Vision implies it's made by Vision. These are not. I would give this vendor a piece of my mind.
Nothing wrong with Vision Vivi's? Or nothing wrong with copies?
I love my VN mini when it behaves, but it seems pretty temperamental.
