Rixter’s First Impression of the Vision ViVi Nova Rebuildable Clearomizer -OR- Livin’ La ViVi Nova!!! Hello, vapers. I arrived home Wednesday to find a really important package in my mailbox. Yup...the order I placed Saturday afternoon for a Vision ViVi Nova tank system was waiting for me to start reviewing! Getting my online purchases in my hands promptly is a really good way to keep me coming back, so right off the bat, I gotta give esmokeronline.com a gold star for fast processing. They were also speedy about answering my email regarding how to identify the version I received (v2). Good job, guys...I’ll be back! After carefully opening the USPS Small Flat Rate Box and emptying the package onto the table, I noticed something that made me worry slightly...inside the package was one ViVi Nova box (roughly 3-3/8” x 2-3/16” x 7/8”), two business cards from the vendor, and precisely six pieces of packing popcorn. This device box had nothing substantial to keep it from pinballing around inside the package while in transit. Although it arrived unscathed, I think that a little bit better job of securing the product (maybe paper or bubble-wrap) is definitely in order. The Vision ViVi Nova Clearomizer attached to an Innokin Leo Pro I have to say that the ViVi Nova looked very impressive in its form-fitting inner packaging, which also displays the two additional heads. It’s a little bit smaller than the pictures on the website led me to believe, but as you can see from the shots I took of it on an Innokin Leo Pro, it’s not tiny. I did encounter a little problem when I screwed it onto my Leo Pro...it was a little lop-sided, but after making some minor manual adjustments to the bottom plate (using only my fingers), I got it to stand up straight like it’s supposed to. Considering my luck as of late, I would like to think that this was an isolated incident and I received the one and only ViVi Nova ever made that wasn’t perfectly straight. Only time will tell. Since my current favorite delivery system is CCV’s 1.7 ohm Resurrector cartomizer, I immediately decided to forgo using the attached 2.4 ohm or included 2.8 ohm heads, and made a bee-line for the 1.8 ohm head instead. Following the online”break in” instructions, I filled it to the top line (2.8 ml in graduated .35 ml increments), screwed on the top, and gave it a little shake to wet the wicks. Everything buttoned up nicely, and after turning it completely upside-down, rightside-up, and everything in between, I decided that leaking shouldn’t be a problem with this system. The top of the coil head has a seal that presses firmly against the screw-on top when closed. The manner in which everything seals up when the top is snugged down doesn’t appear to leave any place for it to leak from. So far, the Nova seemed to be a solidly built, well-designed piece of vaping gear perfect for home use, but how would it handle moderately heavy vaping and riding around in my baggy cargo-shorts pockets while I worked for 8 hours at a very busy furniture and cabinet shop? There was really only one way to find out if this thing is rugged enough for my tastes, and that was by passing a real-world stress test. So on Thursday morning, I dropped my Nova-topped Leo Pro into my pocket and headed off to work. Throughout the day, I vaped on it for a bit, and then stowed it back in my pocket by just dropping it in and letting it lay how it landed. Don’t get me wrong...I didn’t abuse it, and was somewhat mindful of the gear in my pocket, but I didn’t give it any special treatment either. If it was too fragile to take it, then the worst that could happen is that it would break and I would smell like e-juice ‘til bathtime...no big deal. It didn’t break. It didn’t even leak. In fact, late in the afternoon, I pulled off the drip tip to have a peek inside, and saw maybe half a drop of e-liquid pooled in the corner of the drip tip well. Not bad. This thing rode topsy-turvey all day long without leaking so much as a single drop! No gurgle, either...not one time. I am really very impressed with the solidness of the Nova, and even if I should somehow crack the tubing, threaded replacement tanks made of either metal or plastic are available in several colors for about $3. How does it vape? I’d have to say that concerning the “Big Three” (flavor, throat hit, vapor production), the ViVi Nova scored top marks across the board. I can’t say much about the 2.4 ohm or 2.8 ohm heads (because I never even used them), but the 1.8 ohm head really shined. Of course, F/T/V depends a lot on the e-juice you use, but as a general statement, the Nova definitely performed well in all three categories. I didn’t have a single juice that tasted odd because of this device. PG, VG, and blended sauces that work just fine in my 1.7 ohm Resurrectors worked just as fine in the Nova...and the Nova holds more juice. Things didn’t pop with quite the ferocity of the Resurrectors, but it still popped (think wild tiger vs. zoo tiger). I won’t get into the supposedly simple DIY coil rebuilding, but I don’t really see the need to make your own coils when you can pick up a replacement head in 1.8, 2.4, or 2.8 ohm resistance levels for around $3. Unless you are just an avid DIYer (or an extreme cheapskate), you can order a couple of extra heads for around the price of a Happy Meal. Overall, I’m impressed. I’ve tried quite a few delivery systems, one of which (the Resurrector cartomizer, of course) still resides at the very top of my go-to list, but now it has a little company (it can be lonely at the top). The Vision ViVi Nova Clearomizer get top marks in design, toughness, quality, and performance. The idea that you can easily disassemble the entire device for cleaning and maintenance, plus the fact that you can change elements on the fly, just adds flexibility to the mix and makes this one a real competitor. You can get yourself one at quite a few places around the web, or you can get one at the same place I got mine, esmokeronline.com...that is if you like good prices, fast shipping, and great customer service. Until next time...happy vaping! Rixter

Yes, I'm doing just that! Trying LOTS of stuff. And doing what Kitsune said. Although, you really should pay attention to her name: Kitsune. Japanese fox spirit who is high on mischievous high jinxs. She has lots of great advice but will innocently lure you into more than you originally planned. Asking questions will get you great advice from very experienced vapers here. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I think you'll enjoy your time at VT. I certainly am. And now I'm off to ask some more questions about dripping related stuff. Kitsune got me started on that, too! Oh, and I forgot to say, "Welcome to VT!"

Funny you should mention the multi-meter. I just picked one up today.

Between this review and others like it I see a black satin Provari in my future! It'll probably be around Christmas.

There's another 40 dollar one coming on the market soon, that is a true mutt. It's SS, which is nice, but still need to research the type of SS they used, and it is inspired by many of the popular attys already out on the market, such as the DID, the Line and the Hellfire. They're selling it as beginners Rebuildable Atomizer, and will be sent pre-set up and ready to vape. I don't know if it's going to be a nice one or not, but at least they didn't outright steal someone elses hard work. (Making the Prototypes alone can cost over 3000 bucks, it takes a LOT of re-doing to get the product just right, like Jim the DIDman did only to have the foreign country snag it and copy it close enough to call it a DID copy... but ... it's not a clone, they didn't quite capture everything correctly, especially not the sizes of everything that has sizes, ... oops, sorry, I'm ranting). Anyway, so yes, they stole the concepts from others, but it looks like they made it their own at least, and for 40 bucks, it might be worth a shout out for those who want to try one. I'm not endorsing!!! I don't even have one to compare or judge, I'm not condoning either.... yet, at this point anyway. I'll know more in a few weeks. If you're interested, it's called the SS Maximus pro Maybe I can have a Moderator change the title of thread to Genesis instead of DID. (the people who requested pics never showed yet anyway lol).

just cuz couple of volt's (thank you mike!) on the left, then my v4l manual xl "cigar" colored vapor titan with a 1.7ohm 901 atty and an empire mods drip shield/mini drip tip, then a blue v4l auto king diamond (the same one that's in my avatar with the blue tank), and then a black v4l auto king diamond, and then the 3.5ml dct. i made that little stand/holder, still gotta stain it, but i gave all the edges a "live edge" with my dremel.

Exactly. I'm in the same boat as Jeff.

Just had to put my Volts in a picture. These and the eGo are my everyday vape. Note the stealth cap and camo wrap and the diamond end cap on the black battery(blue led).

The Volcano Tube tanks are huge right now. I recently just started working at the Volcano Kiosk in WV and every one loves it. we offer our inferno kits in the drip, tanko, clearo, and tube tank set up and everyone loves the tube tank. Some time new vapers are sceptical of the looks of the tube tank but after we let them sample the different set ups they tend to go for it. I am now between dripping and using tube tanks along with using cartomizers on my volt batteries. It is deffinately a great tool to have. I am also not trying to persuade people into Volcano products. Several other places sell these and I'm sure they work the same. I buy the Volcano products just because it is the easiest for me to get my hands on but I am in no way, shape, or form a volcano fanboy. All of these products are all made by the same companies for the most part. Volcano is just the company I buy from. However I am a fan boy of their Lava Tube.

My newest family member thanks to dayvape The other Saber has been sent for repairs sent from my Ice Cream Sandwiched Gtablet

I do. But for no logical reason I can think of.
