Vivid Nova stop leak thread

[jwpowell19]

Sorry if this has already been posted. My nova was leaking like a siv only days after purchase. It was leaking from the bottom threads. The OEM o-ring is quite flimsy so I took it off and replaced with a 11/16 x 9/16 x 1/16 o ring and have not leaked a drip yet from the threads. I suspect a slightly thinner o ring would work as well. Trick is it needs to stretch to fit over the threads and be slightly thicker than the OEM one. Ditch that Teflon tape and replace your o ring

If you men the tank threads,mine never leaked from there. Mine (3 of them)leaked from the coil threads. Nothing worked to fix it. I fixed them by draining them & getting a aga-t LOL. Those things bout drove me nuts. Wasted about 10ml of juice.

I fixed mine buy buying the smoktech vivi nova. All the other ones I have will leak bad. This smoktech vivi nova hasn't leaked a drop.

Vivi Nova's are notorious for leaking. I've found that the best fix is movement of the center post. 9 out of 10 people when screwing on the replacement wicks move the center pin off axis. Therefore when the silicone top sleeve gets pushed off, juice slides through the gap. Same goes for Viva mis-fires. Most of us Mod Switchers plunger depths are different. So either the pin needs side adjustment or while screwing the cap off for juice replenishment the replacement wick comes unscrewed. Still after all the b.s. its a solid vape.
