VV Juices in V4L tanks

[RedHen]

Does anyone here use this combo? I am smitten with my tanks but when my current stash of juice dwindles down I plan to have a full menu of VV juices steeped and ready.

Should I order them thinner for use in tanks?

Please be prepared to answer my 10,000 questions and I thank you in advance for any help & advice you're all able to give

Not familiar with those tanks but Annette's liquid is plenty thin and does not need further thinning at all in my experience. From wicks to cartos VV liquid functions fine.

 

[Annette Rogers]

Yes, I generally find the consistency to be fine based on customer feedback. I'd suggest you try the standard mix and, if it's a little too thick for your particular set up, you can add a couple drops of distilled water and then ask me to do the thinner mix for you next time (I thin with distilled water). Generally though, it should be fine as is.

Sooo... this is not working out at all. I finally went to fill my tanks with my new stash of VV juices and they are flooding INSTANTLY. I mean, maybe five hits and the carto is so over-saturated it's leaking out the bottom. I think perhaps the juice is actually TOO thin. I'm using 1.5 ohm dual coil two punch in-tank cartos.... anyone have any suggestions on where I should go from here? I really do not want to buy an entire new battery/clearo setup.

Most I have ever done to carto tanks with VV juices is to punch the tiny hole in single hole cartos a little larger. Two holes and above and I have the same issues you describe. Still, I try without altering a single hole to start and if it needs it, I will enlarge just the one hole slightly. I have some two hole cartos and I have had to break a toothpick off in one of the holes to keep them from flooding.

 

[Swer3397]

Yeah two hole cartos may end you up with excess flooding. As Jeff said the toothpick trick is your first order of business then see what changes.

 

[RedHen]

I tried the toothpick trick last night to no avail. After whining about my problem to my husband (who seriously has no interest in discussing vaping) he said it was okay if I ordered the Vivi Twist kit (eeeee!!!!). Unfortunately I can't find anywhere that carries single punch 808 threaded cartos for the smokteks but I know a place I can find them locally that are 510/ego threaded. Sooo... I'll get to try the vivi nova and hopefully still be able to use my big stash of tanks too. I have no interest in any juices that aren't Virgin Vapors so if the single punch cartos don't work I'll just have to sell off the tanks I guess.

 

[TamJeff]

What about adapters? I used a Go-go battery kit for a year and their thread was proprietary 808 of sorts so I had to use adapters for all my 510 items. Just a thought.

 

[RedHen]

Yep, I thought about that too... I'll definitely pick up some adapters but I have a feeling after I get my twists I'll never go back to my stick batts (although, I have honestly loved the heck out of my XL manual stick batts after starting out with the crap mall kiosk kits a couple of years ago). I have a (very cheap) brother who is interested in making the switch to vaping so I am thinking about passing my old kits on to him.

...but I have a feeling after I get my twists I'll never go back to my stick batts

You said it.

 

[RedHen]

woot woot! I picked up ten single hold 510 smoktek tank cartos today at a local shop..... now just waiting for my batteries to ship.

 

[RedHen]

gahhhhh.... the ego twists DO take 510 threaded carts, right??

 

[RedHen]

also, what kind of drip tip is it that comes in the vivi nova? Silicone? Metal? Plastic?

 

[hollyberry]

I guess I'm the only one who seems to have trouble with VV juices in tanks. Even though I order mine thinned, it's still too thick for my tank.

It's the only downside I've found with VV juices.

 

[RedHen]

You can thin them a little further with distilled water.

I'll give that a try.

 

[kittypie]

Yes, RedHen, everything VV carries is 510 threaded, and the tip on the Nova is plastic.

 

[SunshyneGurl]

I actually like the tips on the VN's... I often use them on my smok tech cartos when I have several of them going at one time! They're a smoother plastic than some of the ones that are out there in a similar size and just fit the Boges or smok tech cartos really well. The Cherry-something drip tips that Annette sells are really good too!

Your world will really expand once you get your new batteries RedHen!

 

[RedHen]

I have about a bazillion drip tips for my 808s but I didn't think they'd fit... but if they fit my smokteks they'll fit the vivis, right?

 

[LouP]

Right!

I must be doing something wrong. The only tips I have is a five pack of rubber mouthpieces I got with my Bloog (808) back when I first started and the tip that came with the Vivi Nova.
I too like using the Nova tip with the smoktechs.
