I can attest to one of them. It had multi problems. She murdered it!

And I really appreciated that you tried to fix it for me. xoxo
But, alas, I had already damaged it beyond normal repair. :blush:
ProVape did a amazing job and the turnaround was outstanding, when we finally called it quits on trying to repair the thing. :laugh:

As you already see, you are going to get mixed thoughts.

I personally have owned three Vivi Nova SVD's(The ones with the aluminum sheet over them and the two windows). I thought they were awesome back when I was a newb, but soon enough I started having huge issues all the time with each of them; leaking like crazy, dry hit central, horribly muted flavor, and let's face it having to vape with your pv upside down is irritating and a lot of time results in gurgling and juice all in your mouth. So I tried IBTanked Carto tanks. They were a million miles better. No leaking, better VTF. However I quickly developed a love for trying different juice and having to dedicate a brand new carto to every different juice got irritating and cartos tasted bad after a week of use. So I heard about the Protank from the wonderful Exodus and I have not looked back since. Glass clearly beats the Vivi Nova plastic, no leaking, way better flavor, vapor, and easy to change juice(no waiting for long wicks to dry, no buying a carto for each juice), it didn't have an insanely tight draw. I now have the Protank 2 and two PT 1's. The Protank two fixed all minor issues of the Protank one. I love them. I also can vape them without worrying about having my PV upside down every time I take a vape. YMMV

But I think the Protanks are an easy win. It seems like taking 5 steps back to even consider a Vivi Nova.

I like the 3.5ml regular nova, never liked the 2ml mini nova for some reason. The 3.5 was good straight out of the box, the 2ml has been annoying.
1. didn't work - there was some sort of short. I fixed that but even after changing heads and stuffing about,
2. It's never been as good for flavour as the 3.5ml version (or evods or iclear16)

So just to follow up on my decision I went with the kanger protank. After looking at them watching a few videos and the fact its bottom coil and rebuildable it seemed like the way to go.No complaints so far and the juice taste much better in it than the T2's I had become acustomed to.

Good. :) I am enjoying mini kanger protanks a lot a the moment.

Can't say I've used an evod or nova in weeks, maybe months.
 
Just to reaffirm what everyone else on here is saying: It really is a matter of time, trial and error. I have messed with drip tips, cartos and clearos. I am currently teetering back and forth between the T3S and the iClear 16. I have 2 tanks of each. I like both for their respective uses. I prefer the Kangers for the more tobacco flavors (VCV White Beard), more a true 'unmuted' taste and the iClears for the more sweet flavors (VCV Night Shift) Some sweeter juices are a bit too sweet for me so I appreciate the 'muting' on the iClear, even though that may not be core functionality of the product. There are drawbacks to both as I am sure there are with many other setups. Without manual intervention on the T3S, there will be gurgling and occasional leaks. The iClear 16 can also get a burnt taste when changing juices or not having been cleaned in a while. I can get the atomizers on either to last about 1.5 months with proper cleaning / dry burning. I have accepted maintenance as part of the process and I get longer life out of both.
