Vision mini or viva nova?

[talisman]

I use an EGO-T with CE4. Like to try a viva or mini, but which one ? Is the only difference the tank size? A vendor is selling a viva V2 as a full kit or stand alone. The price difference is £5.00. I think the full kit includes a drip tip, are they a fiver? Im not worried about dripping so a stand alone would do. Any advice appreciated.

Get the full kit.
I find the mini only falls from the table once, the full size falls all the time.

Talisman, I would recommend the mini just from reading on here (I've not tried the larger version myself). You can get one without all the extra heads (you get 2 extras in the full kit) from Liberty Flights for £6.99 www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=165 (scroll down for it). You need the drip tip otherwise you wouldn't be able to use it, and I don't think you can get them without anyway.

Dizzi,didnt realise it was just for dripping? I assumed you used it just like a CE4 and had the option of the drip tip? Glad i checked now.

Oh no, not just for dripping - not for dripping at all! Sorry Talisman, I call all mouthpieces "drip tips", force of habit I suppose. No, the Vivi Nova is a tank system. It comes in 4 pieces - the bottom metal section that includes the replaceable atomiser head with coil and wicks, a tube that screws into it, a top metal piece that screws into the top of the tank and the mouthpiece (drip tip). Give me a mo and I'll take one to bits for a photo.

There you go, from left to right:

Bottom section, atomiser is at the top and is replaceable
Tube/tank, juice goes in here
Top section, mouthpiece, drip tip fits on top of this
Mouthpiece/drip tip

Does this help?

Get yourself a full mini vivi nova kit with the drip and spare heads. You won't regret it.

I'm sure a vendor will remove the drip tip and give you 20p off it if they can be bothered....but it's a nice mouthpiece as it is.

Or get the bigger one or even the STV.

They are all good. Personally, I think 2ml is big enough. I would be very careful about getting a cut-price one. There are a number of variations out there.

PS. the one in dizzis picture is THE one to get if possible. I have 2 versions of the mini.

Thanks dizzi, your a star. It makes sense now.

That one was from Libert Flights, link as above. I got 4 when they had their huge discount a few days ago [/smug]

You're very welcome Talisman - get one, full kit if poss, this one from LF (or elsewhere) if not and like djsvapour says, you won't be sorry.

many cheap nasty copies
but i got a chep one from the liberty flights linked and it as served me well still going strong 5 weeks in
on the other hand i got an expensive one from a good vendor and it leaked juice from day one
choice is yours me old fruit bat

Kev, I honestly don't think there's a lot of difference. All mine bar one are going brilliantly, some have been used for nearly 2 months and vape like a dream - and I have no idea if these are 'originals' or knock-offs, I just tend to buy the cheapest available so are more likely to be knock off tbh. Must admit I'm not keen on the ones that come with the pointy bit on top of the atty head (rather than the flat one) as the only one of mine I have problems with is one of those. But then again I have another one the same and it's still going strong several weeks in. Mass produced stuff is always going to throw up some lemons!

[giles]

To answer your original question - the only difference is the size (I have both). They use the same heads - or at least they used to until someone introduced a new version.

If you a putting it on an ego the mini will look a lot better - especially with a type B plinth www.vapeescape.co.uk/dct-plinths~324

If you are putting it on a lavatube you might as well get a full-size.
