Will these wicks work for my Vivi Nova?

[puggsly]

Hey everybody, this is my first post here, after reading for quite some time. I am using the Vision Vivi STV Nova 3.5 tank and am on my last atomizer head. The other two's wicks burnt out. I started with the 2.4 ohm which lasted about 3 weeks with cleanings in between each refill, and then I moved up to the 2.8 ohm, which only lasted 4 days with 2 refills. I'm using the 1.8 now (day 2), and am wanting to restock on atomizer heads before this one burns out. I've been watching a bunch of youtube videos about rebuilding them and also looking at a bunch of different suppliers that sell atomizer heads with wicks per piece, but all I need is wicks (with coils) to replace the ones that I already (noobishly) tore out of the atomizer heads. My current battery is the ego-t from Joyetech, but I'm ordering a Vamo mod with an 18650 this week.

So my questions are:
Will these wicks from healthcabin work with my Vivi Nova STV tank?
50pc Wick & Coil Assembly for Vivi Tank [Vivi Tank coil] - $36.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

and

Which ohm will work best with the 3.7/4.2 watt ego-t battery and the Vamo?

Thanks for all of your help. Happy Vaping.

$36 will give you a few years worth of silica wick and kanthal wire. It's very easy to rebuild and it will give superior results to this solution.
When you still have to "build" the wick/coil, it makes no sense.
I don't like stock Vivi's, but I rebuilt one with good silica and Kanthal 30 last week and it came out really great. I built mine to 1.6 ohms.

Good move to the lower Res Atty heads. They work best for lowered voltages. They are all I use in all my vivi tanks. I just ordered a bunch of vivi low Res heads from ...wait...give a sec..oh yeah, from L J's Esmokes...think they were like $2.45 each and they arrived pretty quick. After shopping around the had about the best price too.
I'm not a "rebuilder" I'm a parts changer. Its easier for me. So I can't offer any other advice.

Yes they will work. Do you really need 50 heads though? You can buy wick and wire for a whole lot cheaper, and practice on meters upon meters of the stuff for a lot less. I mean, you're looking at ordering from China, too. If the heads are no good, well you have FIFTY of them.
There is a seller in Germany selling Kanthal and wick: Resistance heating wire - Zivipf Onlineshop
I just bought ribbon Kanthal D off them and it's awesome, no hot spots. $9 would buy 5m, and last an entire lifetime. Similarly wick is also cheap. Those heads are cheap, yes, but I don't think it's a wise purchase, personally. You can do even better for a lot less.

Now, as far as resistances, it depends what your target watts you want.

Use an Ohm's Law calculator to determine the resistance you need: Ohm's Law Calculator

and here is the conversion chart to cheat: https://store-549f5.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/voltagechart-lg.jpg

Essentially, fruits will need a lower voltage and lower resistance for the target wattage.

Chocolates and tobaccos will need a higher voltage and higher resistance for the target wattage.

You will figure out by taste what the sweet spot for wattage is in a particular juice. Adjusting the voltage in relation to the resistance will bring out different notes in the juice. For example, I was vaping a chocolate at 5V the other day, but when I swapped tanks to a blueberry lemonade but forgot to drop the voltage to 3.7V first, man did that juice taste awful. The lemon felt like it was burning a hole in my tongue. Once I dropped the voltage, it tasted like sweet blueberries and the citrus taste was muted.

Now you mentioned a Vamo too, which is variable wattage already.

Welcome to the next level of vaping!

The silica from that German seller is also very nice. Great stuff.

Thank you all! Which size of Kanthal D and wick do you recommend? Sorry I'm very new to this all.

3mm silica and Kanthal 30 A-1 works great for me.
