vivi nova gurgling

[andylec]

Hi
i seem to be suffering a really bad gurgling problem on my new vivi nova, i am using on a vision vv spinner and it does it on all voltages ,it even seems to leave a really strong taste of the juice in my mouth.
any help or suggestions please

Are you getting juice down the central tubey thingwee Andy ( apologies for the highly technical language ) when you're filling . . . if you are, then that could be the source of your gurgling and juice taste in your mouth when you draw on it.

Give it a quick blow through the drip tip after refilling, onto some kitchen paper to get rid of any excess.

You could try all of the following : having a look to see if theres juice on the battery terminal, checking to see if the head or the rubber cap is loose, checking to make sure the drip tip is in securely (if its one that the drip tip comes out of) and checking to make sure the top and bottoms are both screwed in properly. Hope this helps.

Hi Andylec.

1. Make sure the head is screwed down well and still has it's little o ring
2. When screwing on the mouthpiece hold the nova up to the light and look very carefully at the silicone cap thingy and see if it is getting pushed down on top of the wicks and spreading, if it is you will need to take it off and use a small pair of scissors and trim no more than a mil off the bottom of the cap so it sits JUST above the wicks.

Kev's got something similar . . .

Could be because of the adapter, that the air holes are not so open, might be worth having a go at blocking one off to see if that helps Andy. I'd very much doubt it's anything to do with your Spinner as such, are you using a plinth with it and the Nova?

[andylec]

ok ty for advice so far,think your on to something perps,when on jac with adapter much less air getting through,whats best way to block a hole up?

[millerkev]

funny thing is when i started on this new nova all was fine..its eems to be developing as the hour goes by

ps close my thread perps,, 1 is enuff on the subject

[giles]

Make sure the post in the middle of the nova is still parallel with the sides. One of mine it got off-kilter, and then the top doesn't screw down properly on the post, and juice gets into the post, and also past the post into the top and drip tip.

[andylec]

ok ive wrapped my most used item at work round holes( insulation tape!) and it seems alot better but looks bloody awful lol

[Perpetua]

I'd probably use a bit of sellotape Andy, to restrict the airflow on one of the holes . . . but I don't possess a technical bone in my body, so I'm sure there's something better.

Crossed posts with your insulation tape.

Have you a 510 to 510 adapter?

Or a plinth, so you could unscrew it a turn or so and block the holes a little that way?


Archived your thread Kev . . .

maybe skirt ive ordered for it will help

[andylec]

Out of 2 new ones I have had same problem. Haven't even touched the second one. Had to go back to my ce5s. Thank god I had them. The atty packed in on first cleaning as well.
