I am currently using the vamo vv vw mod and using joye 510 atomizers i love the flavor i get out of the attys but they are becoming a pain in the rear for me im having to replace them alot and it seems like i keep getting bad ones here and there so im looking for a good tank to use
so basically what my question is, is i heard the vivi novas have as much flavor as dripping does and i want to know if thats true or not and if not can someone point me in the right direction for a good tank or something to give good flavor that isnt a pain to work with?

IMO nothing has the flavor of dripping.

The vivis I used worked for me but were lacking. When I'm at home, I drip. Not at home I'm using carto tanks, which I just finally got to work well for me. As far as a pain to work with, everything I've used takes time to get a satisfying vape out of. Which yeah is a pain, but also part of the fun.

If you already drip and enjoy the vape then I would not downgrade to a tankstyle..
To me, the wick's on pre-made tanks (ie CE4, Iclear, vivi, etc) inhibit a lot of the flavor production. The best style tank I would recommend to try is a kanger protank (bottom feeder). I've personally not had good luck with vivi's, but aside from my two protanks and the occasional DCT all I use anymore are rba's...have you researched rebuildable atty's at all?

I agree ProTank2 > Vivi Nova. Not much, but it IS better. My Vivi hasn't really been used at all since I got my HH357. I drip at home, and PT2 goes out with me.
I'll also add that I played around with the Bulldog I just got alot last night. I think I like that even more than the hh357. Probably because I built the coil myself, and I can taste the accomplishment. lol

i'm not a fan of vivi novas really.

I really like carto tanks though like the j-tank. great flavor and vapor and doesn't look too bad on anything. i use LR boge cartos on those.

if you like the flavor of dripping though you might try a genesis style tank like the AGA T2. not terribly expensive rebuildable that's fairly easy to get started on. you'll have to develop a few habits that keep you from leaking your juice and keeping your wick wet but that's minor when you TASTE the clouds you won't be able to see through when you make the perfect coil

Vivi Novas definitely have a touch more flavor than the BCC clearos. The above posters have it backwards. Top coils have more flavor and greater throat hit, while bottom coils have a tendency to mute the flavor a bit. The plus side with BCCs is they are better in terms of wicking: they will not give dry hits. Top coils have better flavor, but sometimes can be finnicky in terms of wicking, which is to say that you may get some dry hits.

To answer your original question though, no clearomizer will give you the vape that dripping does. However, dripping requires putting in a few drops every 5-10 hits. It also can get messy, making it inconvenient for taking out of the house. This is why bottom feeding mods have so many fans. With something like a Reo Grande, it is like you are dripping all the time without the mess that actual dripping consists of.

looked at the j tank once you named it in your other post but seen how you have to fill it and looked annoying as hell and easy to get messy quick, are they all like that.

just looked at that lucifer tank and that looks easy to fill and seems good, even stated on that site to go for 1.5 ohm for ego. wonder if any uk vendors do it though. whats the most resistance for a ego 2.5 ohm?
