Well the initial success was short lived. I got it all together last night and vaped on it for about 30 minutes before going to bed for the night. This morning I got up and had a meeting at work that lasted 4 hours. I vaped on the way in, had two 10 min breaks during the meeting, and vaped it on the way home. Once I got home I filled the tank and started to have dry hits. I found what I think is a hot spot on the top coil. I tried to work it out by wiggling the wick and moving the top coil up and down a little. I couldn't fix it so I decided to scrap that coil and go for #2. Number 2 was a fail. I wrapped the coil in the same manner. I attached the ground to the screw and wrapped it up the wick. I made four turns and attached the top to the positive post. While the tank was empty I fired it. There was an immediate hot spot on the top coil. This time I was only able to fire it about 5 times before the coil popped. At the moment it's sitting on the table while I write this and enjoy a vape that IS working. So what is the cause of these hot spots? I truly think this wick is oxidized well. I burned the crap out of it. I followed the method that was used by JC West (via youtube). I also attempted to "re-oxidize" if there is such a thing when I removed the first coil. The positive post on this thing has a microscopic little knurled nut to attach the coil wire. I have a hard time doing this. I'm trying to hold the mod and wick in place and trying to keep tension on the wire and tighten the nut all at the same time. I don't know if there is a right or wrong way to attach the wire to that post. Now, to the device itself. I love the way this RBA looks. The machine work is very solid. It has some heft but nothing horrible. My biggest complaint so far are the tiny o-rings that are supposed to hold the top on/in place. These are a joke and simply not sufficient. It needs and I will be getting bigger more substantial o-rings. I don't know yet where I will be getting these upgraded o-rings but it is going to be required for continued use. I will post pics soon. I want it to be setup and functioning before I post up pics.

Well as I was sitting on the couch after dinner tonight a thought crossed my mind. I asked my wife had she checked the mail today and she said she had not. So after throwing on some house shoes and a jacket I checked it. Guess what I had? ...yep my new AGA-S! So after watching a couple videos on the YouTubez I boiled the unit to sterilize and got to work. On my first go I managed to cut roll and oxidize my first wick. Which is #400 ss. I wrapped what I think is a respectable 1.5ohm coil. The coil is 32awg kanthal at 4 wraps. I am vaping it now. Vapor production is great. Flavor is muted but I think that is just a matter of steeping this brand new bottle. I will post pics tomorrow. Now for the first question. How do you fill this thing? According to the vendor it holds around 2ml but I doubt I got one full ml in it. It just pours out of the fill hole while I'm trying to do it...very confused. Thanks in advance! Yay!

I wonder how it will feed once your juice level falls pretty low. It seems like the juice would have a difficult time making it's way to your holes. I could be entirely wrong. It looks like it should be bedazzled haha. On that note I need to go to bed, I've been up far too long.

Better late than never. Welcome

I can only assume that it didn't have a large enough following. I never owned one but I have seen several that loved them.

So I have ordered the new version of the AGA-S. I am patiently awaiting it's arrival. I will provide updates and I'm sure many questions in the near future.

Welcome:ph34r:

Welcome:)

Welcome

My thoughts exactly.

You have to want to put them down. If not you're going to spend hundreds on gear that collects dust as you light up another analog. Just my experience. The Provari is a great mod. Just make sure your head is in the game before your wallet! I wish you luck!

And I'm sure different menus. Since this appears to have only one button.

Looks like another VAMO type actually pretty much the same just with colors! Lol http://www.myvaporstore.com/Anyvape_CVI_Ecig_Mod_APV_p/cvi.htm

Hey, welcome to VT.

Welcome. I think you will enjoy our crowd here.

Haha this made me chuckle!

Welcome

Welcome to both of you! Glad to have yall here!

Perfectly fine. I really hope that kit proves to be good! I also hope you like TN. I have lived here the bulk of my life. I also spent about 6 years in NC.

You should be able to use the vivi nova on the VAMO with no problems. I live in middle TN. About 1.5 hours southeast of Nashville. make sure you get a charger if it doesn't come with one! I didn't look to see if it does or not.

I purchased my vamo at electronicstix.com they are a US company out of UT. I ordered on 12/20 and it was in my hands on 12/24. I'm in TN and think that was a great shipping especially how close it was to Christmas. The Legacy is a pure mechanical mod from puresmoker.com they are a TN based company and I really like my legacy. The downfall is no power regulation so whatever the battery is pushing is what I get which isn't bad as long it's accompanied with a LR atty or clearo or carto. Hope that helps. I know a lot of others have experience with many other big battery devices such as the Silver Bullet by altsmoke.com and the Saber Touch by vapermoon.com. There are a vast number of options out there. Just check around I'm sure you'll find something to your liking! Good luck again.

I ordered my first rebuildable tonight! Uma I went with your suggestion of an AGA-S from myvaporstore.com. I'm excited to give it a go. I also ordered kanthal and ss mesh. Hopefully I'll get this rig going well. Wish me luck and definitely expect many questions and headaches! Uma are you ready to help a rookie builder? lol

Welcome and I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the new gear. happy vaping. Just make sure you really fill the cartos before you hit the fire button. 10-15 drops most likely won't cover it. I'd recommend the condom method. It's a little bit messy but not the headache of a burnt carto. Just my 2cents. That's from a lot of headache experience.

Welcome aboard.

I love vivi novas in theory. I had two 3.5ml versions from back in the summer that were great! I used those for months with great results. I bought a new one earlier in December and that thing refuses to wick properly. I mean two of the 3 heads I tried just flat out would not wick...I wonder if the factory wrapped the coils too tightly onto the wick. I can get maybe one decent hit out of about 5. That's no way to vape.
