Vivi Nova not working with Lavatube

[alvoram]

Hello Jason, thanks for the LT I love it, loads better than my black one... although the vivi black tank doesn't really match up... I'm too tight to buy another tank....

Outnumbered, sorry I missed your post about the screw thing initially, too busy doing those pics, although, like Jason, I'm also intrigued, a picture would be good.

I must have over-tightened one of my novas onto an original mini LT last night,first I thought the battery had died early,then I thought my battery charger was messing about,then I got a small pair of long nose pliers and pulled the center pin down,it didn't appear to move much,but I was back in business.....have you got the LT with the center pin in it which I believe is the L Rider V2,this too is prone to sticking if juice has got too it

Hi Alvo

Gald you like it

Outnumbered has the same model (V4), which is why I was askiing for a piccy, to see what the problem is.

[outnumbered]

Thanks everone, will get a photo asap

[outnumbered]

Hope this works. As you can see next to carto it is tiny. It was stuck to bottom of Nova when I unscrewed it from LT. It is gold, closed at one end and has 2 prongs at other end, maybe a connector?? I don't think it belongs in Nova but really don't want to play around and do more damage.

It is really difficult to photograph but hopefully someone recognises it

[outnumbered]

What happened the photo was there??

Now it's back. I am going insane >

Can't see the picture mate, says "Sorry, this person moved or deleted this image"

You could always upload a single image as an attachment directly to the forum when you hit reply, rather than use the quick reply, the "attachment:" box is under the "Subject:" box....

Although if this is your photobucket user account s1136.photobucket.com/profile/spongemom

It looks like you have no public albums, so you may just need to change the permissions of your album on PB from "Private" to "Public"

[outnumbered]

Thanks again Alvoram . you are a great help

Pleeeease let this work :-[

hey dont mind me jumping in here
that little thing is your center post be careful if you turn your lavatube upside down there is a little spring as well
this happend to me as well but i managed to just pop it back in there is a little brass looking hole just slightly wider than that little post with a spring inside it that you should be able to slide the post back into with a pair of plyers

edit: with the vivi nova ive noticed a very slight difference one the ones i have from different vendors i have a couple from vapeescape and a couple from vapour hut
both seem identical in every way except the heads are not compatible with the other vendors product and the only other reason i can work out why then ones i have from vape escape dont work on the lava tube v4 without an ego to ego adapter (plinth does nothing for me)

in the image now you can see the 2 on the left are from vapeescape they have a much larger hole (the ones that dont work) and the vapourhut on the right has a smaller hole

now bare with me i think the problem is the center post is going up inside the VE vivi novas airhole which blocks the flow of air.. altho im not sure how but it also makes them not fire just displaying "f1" on the screen unless i juse a ego to ego adapter (thanks jason)

oh dear , hopefully then its still inside id suggest you take the battery out and try carefully get that post to fit back inside with a small pair of plyers and hopefull if the spring is still there it will spring up and down as normal (bit with the grove facing up) failing that contact the vender you got it from
fingers crossed for you

Before you do any DIY, wait for Jason to see this and see if there is anything he can do, or suggest

or contact him directly...

thats the better idea acctually altho it was just a case of just pushin it back where it belonged not quite the hardcore diy people seem to be doing on here these days blowtorches wowa

[alvoram]

Sorry Stitch, didn't mean it like that... Just meant that if the problem is caused by the combination of the lavatube and Vivi that Jason sells, as you pointed out, then he would probably like to know about it, and put things right, do whatever he has to do, kinda thing.

I've noticed my viva getting a bit stuck over the LT pin btw, but I just carry on screwing it off carefully as if I was still unscrewing the threads... Ill make sure I continue to do that carefully for sure now.
