mcquinn Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I got some replacement coils for my Vivi Nova a while back and just got around to using one. These are built different than all the others I have purchased. The rubber seal that goes against the mouthpiece is solid rubber without the metal insert. They fit ok as long as your threads are not worn out on your plastic tank, I had to turn my tank upside down. These tend to vape harsher than the Vision coils .Anyone else use these?

mcquinn Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry for the crappy picture. The Vision one is on the right. Edited January 7, 2014 by mcquinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is that a genuine coil that you purchased, or a "generic"/knock off coil? I'm betting it's a knock off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwink Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's a generic coil from the looks of it. I got some of those back when I used Vivi Novas. They're junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 That's what I thought but with the amount of inventory some vendors keep it is possible that a new design could come along and different vendors have different types. They are for sure not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwink Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If they're Kanger the packaging and the site should say so. In my case I bought knowing I was getting a generic just to give it a try. Sometimes you just learn the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Except Kanger doesn't make Vivi Novas, or the replacement coils. If it's genuine, it should say Vision on the front of the box. Go to this page, and compare what you got to what's on the page (which I believe are genuine brand): http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.browse&category_id=88 To me, it looks like you have a knock off.

kitsune Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ya, I've use both and I agree, I like the ones with the center post a bit more. I did find the ones without the center post do better with fruit type flavors as far as harshness. didn't have any particular problem with leaking though. Been sticking to kanger alot more these days. Brian sent me a aspire CE-5S bottom dual coil tank....I must admit, I am really liking these, had it about a month, hardly use my vivi nova anymore.

True. A slip since I now use Kanger stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I am pretty sure they are Smoktek coils for the Redux and they will fit the Vivi Nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrical Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've had that happen to me a couple times already. I'll order Vivi Nova coils and I'll receive the ones without the metal piece. They come in foil packs without a name on them so I don't know what brand they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
