Wicks for Novas and Stardusts

[BumbleBee]

I have 2 Vision Mini Nova tanks, and a Vision Replaceable Stardust.

Are the wicks the same? Can I just order a dozen Nova or Stardust wicks? Or do I have to order 8 Nova wicks and 4 Stardust wicks?

I know the little rubber top parts are different, but are the actual atomizer/wick assemblies the same?

Also, do replacement wicks come with new little rubber top caps? Or literally just the atomizer/wick assembly?

Not sure of the answer to your first question but if you have both set-ups now, why not try interchanging them to find out for yourself. I've heard some say no and others say yes, just remove the metal pip on the SD to use in the vivi.

The new heads for the SD's do come with rubber tops and metal pips. Can't answer on the vivis though.

lol ... ya, I though of that after I filled all 3 tanks!!!

I think I'm just going to order 8 and 4, as I wanna place the order soon today, and compare the new ones.

Could I theoretically do any damage trying one on the other?

I've heard both yes and no as for the Stardust (and equivalents) and the Novas being the same.

Once you find out, please post back and let us know.

I have looked at mine, and they are very similar, but I've never actually tried it.

One thing I do notice is that the spike on the top of the Stardust head REALLY restricts airflow, and the open nova design is much easier to pull from.

-If someone doesn't post, I will try it tonight.

Anybody tried this yet?

I've got an older vivi nova and also the newer style like the mini nova's. I've also got some stardust. When I trird to put the stardust coil on the nova it wouldn't work. The new nova heads are more flat where the stardust have a metel point on top that the tip sits on. Just what I've found from my personal stash.

I haven't tried to use one, I've just been too busy to attempt the swap. BUT, I did compare the two when they came in. There are a few differences. The wicks, the little rubber "stop" caps on the top (which could be switched if you were to save them from old ones I suppose) .. however, the metal area above the coil section on the Stardusts is much higher than on the Novas, and I think that might be the deal breaker.

I'll try to remember to take a pic of the 2 new ones side by side tonight, so you can actually see the difference.
