Now I'm about to ask a really daft question so please don't shout at me ??? I've got some V2 Vivi novas that I use on my Ego and they're great but please can somebody tell me which size gets the greatest and strongest vape with tobacco flavour ??? The battery is a 1000 or something like that!! When I ordered them I didn't really take much notice that there were 3 different ohm sizes!!! I know it's daft but there you go, that's the menopause for you I clean all the bits and reuse them, but if a part is going to "die" and need replacing, which part would it be?? Do I need to just replace 1 part or get the whole thing? Sorry this is so garbled but I'm not great at explaining things - as you can tell Thanks

There are no silly questions, only silly answers.
This is a sensible one - Lower number gives a stronger flavour/more vapour. So the 1.8 is strongest (but may burn the liquid), 2.8 the weakest.
You can buy replacement heads. Most people probably buy 2.4. The head is the bit with the wick. You probably unscrew it to clean the nova

Brilliant giles and thanks so much for that. I've been using the same couple of wicks and been washing them so will now use a magnifying glass to check what I've been using!!! You are a gem and I'm a numpty

You're not a numpty at all Chirpie! Most vaping gear doesn't come with instructions. Thankfully there's usually someone here that can answer any questions

Glad to help. btw it isn't that difficult to rewire heads when they go, instead of buying new ones. Lots of videos about - for instance

I use mini novas, bought from different suppliers. Some of them leaked after I let them fall and I found that the spare heads for one mini nova don't fit the other. In my two months of vaping, I have gone through about three mini novas and only one replacement head. If you buy a load of spare heads and subsequently require a replacement Vivi Nova buy it from the same vendor and check that your spare heads will fit it. I don't know whether the same would apply to full sized Vivi Novas, but it's best to make sure.

You should try re-wicking them, its easy enough to do, that way you can set your own resistance

I've had 2 vivi novas from different vendors I noticed the tanks were different in Hight width was ok as both top cap and bottom head holder fit each with no leak issues but I found that the taller of the two tubes I am able to use CE4/5/6/??? Heads as apposed to buying vivi nova heads no difference in price for nova and CE whatever number I just thought I would share

Original Vivi Novas are the business.
I personally find it a little annoying that there are SO many copies/clones of them and people buy them cheap expecting good results. I fell for it.
I got my clone one to vape decently after about 3 attempts/variations on re-wicking. Still doesn't stop the damn thing from leaking. I also killed a perfectly good battery in the process.
So, that proved to be a completely false economy. I will use the vendor again, not because I feel obliged (I'm much too much a stickler for these things) but because he's a decent chap who provides good service.
All I can suggest is that Vendors get shot of their existing stock and stop selling them.
I use the 1.8 heads a lot, but my re-wicks come out at nearer the 2.4. The replaceable heads are not compatible with original/clones.
I certainly wouldn't use a 1.8 on a fresh battery, unless it was my Lavatube....

It might be OK. It's not a Vision original. My clone didn't wick much, if it wicks OK and doesn't leak, you're quids in.
