I'd also recommend a multimeter if you're going to rebuild your coil and wicks to measure the resistance of the coil, so you know you've done it right and to check for short circuits when you re-assemble before sticking it on a battery.

When you say disintegrated, did you mean the whole wick fell apart ? Because the top wick on these just lays unsupported over the top of the coils and can easily fall out when dry and disturbed. Not a problem when they're wet. Remove the silicon sleeve from the top of the tube and lay the wick strand back over the coil and replace the sleeve again That's exactly why I was asking if the vision had a spare wick configuration like the NOVA V1..

Must admit macca, I haven't investigated it properly to see what there is, apart from the wick.......will there be the coil wire as well? When you take it apart, you'll see the coil goes around the wick, so to rewick you need to cut a small piece of wick and wind a wire around the wick to make a new coil. There is a lady one here who will supply you with the wire. Her name is Dee something. Deesigner, that's her name, you can either pm her on here, or email her, her email is on her profile. She's happy to supply anyone on here with wire. You want the resistance wire. Thanks for that womble.............So all I need to ask her for, is 'resistance wire?'......................

Yeah I think she's only got 2 types, resistance and non resistance.

If you get stuck Chris, give me a shout . . . I've got some spare wire I can let you have.

Oh of course, yes, thanks Perpy. I remember Gordy telling me I need both wires now, but couldn't remember why. My memory. I'll save that thread. Looks complicated though.

It's a little faffy at first Anne, won't pretend it isn't ( for me anyway ) but it does get a heck of a lot easier, the more you do.
I think you have to be prepared for a little trial and error if you not naturally technical . . . but it is doable.

I don't think it is for the vivi nova. Or at least I hope it is not

You still need to be able to have different resistances with the vivi though womble.
