I gather they are semi-rebuildable. You can't rebuild the coils but replacements are much, much cheaper than new atomizers.
Anyway, I love it. I bought two in last month's Health Cabin co-op and, now that I've had a couple of weeks to put it through it's paces, I'll be buying more (next month if they're back in stock.) That way I can have several filled for instant flavor changes. HC charges $11 and the co-op puts in a big enough order to get a 20% discount, bringing the cost to $8.80.
What I don't like about cartos is the flavor, thanks to the filler. That doesn't happen with the Vivi Nova. No filler so the flavor is almost the same as with dripping. (It may be a tiny bit muted, but not much.)
Learning curve is about 10 minutes. You have to remember to lay your PV on it's side or tilt it parallel to the floor occasionally when you are vaping once the tube isn't full so that the wicks get liquid on them.
They really don't leak. I lay my devices on their side when not in use and overnight and there hasn't been a single drop yet. The only liquid that has made it out of the tubes has been when I unscrewed it like an idiot.
The space between the center hole and the sides of the tube is wide enough to stick the tip of a dropper bottle in so you don't accidentally fill the hole. Tip: when you take the top off for refilling, there are usually a few drops pooled under the lid which can find their way into the hole when you put the top back on. There might be enough that you can angle it back into the tube, if not, just mop it off. When I'm refilling, I also check the center hole. It's usually dry but once or twice there's been about half-a-drop worth of condensation that I've removed with a Q-tip or the corner of a tissue.
I started with the 2.4Ω coils that are in it when you receive it. On one I've been vaping a variety of fruit taffies. I think I've gone though at least an ounce in the last 2 weeks and it tastes exactly the same as it did when I started. On the other, I vaped the last of my apricot/raspberry cheesecake -- I had about 20ml left. I finished that yesterday and easily took the whole thing apart and washed it. The wick is slightly discolored and the cheesecake has such a strong scent that I didn't get it all off, but it is obviously fine to use again.
Once the rest of it had dried I put one of the 1.8Ω coils in. I am very challenged when it comes to stuff like that but it was easy. I'm sucking on the second tubeful of Butternila on that one. (I think I prefer the higher resistance but they come with one each 1.8Ω, 2.4Ω and 2.8Ω so I get to figure it out.)
I have a C-Pap machine and the respiratory therapist told me to wash the headgear and tubing with a non-antibacterial, unscented dishwashing liquid. The antibacterial ingredient is alcohol which isn't good for the plastic and silicone so that's what I'm using.
ETA: And there are metal replacement tubes if you have a flavor that is a clearomizer killer.
