the bubbly sound you heard is probably the juice burning off from the coil. not much of issue.
imagine you drip 3 drops of juice on the wick and you light it up. it also got pi piak pi piak sound..

Bubbly sound sounds like it's flooding? Piak piak is juice evaporating. I think it's different.

if you absolutely have to and juice is coming up and getting into ur mouth all the time (idk why.. but it could happen. I have gotten juice in my mouth on a vivi.. just not that often) if you must, if you have some extra silica laying around, just put a tiny piece over the coils before putting the silicone grommet and cap back on. if u have no xtra silica then just snip a tiny piece off the wick of ur vivi nova. that will solve the sputtering juice.

Same issue occasionally...as Plumes.91 mentioned,the rubber grommet might have a little gap not visible.
This causes liquid to leak inside and gurgle etc.
I get it whenever i lie my vivi on the side,standing usually solves the issue immediately.
Try to leave it standing with the solution posted and see how it goes.
If everything is screwed on nicely,holes plugged on rubber grommet...it really might be another point of entry on the post.

Hi all, I'm a noob here in ECF but I've been on Ego-T for 3 months now.

I used Vivi Nova tanks before.. But I believe these are the knock-off versions, cuz I got it from some shady shop over the bridge. The taste is horrendous as compared to the CE6s, which I am using now.

Regarding the gurgling issue, I have a method to stop the leak from the rubber grommet, basically what I did was force in another grommet onto the top (see attached). I know this isn't a really "right" way to fix the leak but still it gets the job done :D

Nicely done. I got the same issue. Haha after some Epic advice on prime and self made small rubber spacer on the top everything is superbly well.

actually i have no clue and no idea about rebuildables, and not even sure I wanna go into that cuz I rarely have time to fiddle with my toys :(.

Vivi is not considered rebuildable, more like replaceable. The fiddling takes only 5mins man.

Rebuildables need more experience and skill, and it definitely looks nicer on a mod.

:p hahaha. Really can ah. But not on a humble c twist..? Hehe. Ash45 show us the magic. how how. :vapor:
It's no magic or anything outwordly.
You just need to have the right PV with a proper setup on a genny.

Learnt this from a Lao-er Jiao.
Tried, and I plunged from 18mg to 12 then 6.
It's both a mind and lung blowing experience I'd say.... lol....

E-Liquids nowadays are generally a 70PG/30VG mix. But like the post above said higher PG based will give you more throat hit, if you don't mind the decrease in vapor. Then there're the liquid mediums i.e silica wick, stainless steel mesh, polyfiller material; they all have different attributes making the liquid taste different, hit harder or hit lighter. Also of course the power you're vaping at, higher power equals more throat hit. You can make a 6mg e-liquid hit like a 12mg one, but keep in mind you'll be burning through more liquid to achieve that hit. At the end of the day, to me anyways, is to tailor your vape to whatever you like it to be.
