Reached next limit with taste buds and tanks?

[Deleted]

Been using and rewicking a Vivi Nova and Mini Nova for the last few months and have enjoyed them greatly. Just recently however I've found that I've had to rewick and rewick to get a decent flavour and hit.

I've used some homemade juice and was wondering if that was the common cause but having tried the juice in a dripper I know this is not the case. Also, tried with my Spheroid and that is still kicking nicely. Also not getting an experience with my usual vendor juices in the tanks which have worked in the past

Am I doing something wrong or have I just outgrown these tanks? Not changed my res or wire. I've experimented with different wick sizes, no difference. Tried with unregulated and VW devices. No difference

As a result I find myself reaching for the tried and tested DCT's.

Confused.

I found after using the AGA-T & mini DID clone, that the Nova's lost their ooomph....Keeping the wicks long might help...I reckon it's probably a case of persevering with them.

I feel the same with the mini nova. Can not get a constant good vape i to like the DCT's so may just get some with a tank this time see how i go with that.

not a ss mesh fan .. got an aga-s and use it periodically. Nova wicks are long ...

glad I bought the spheroids now ... must be a carto fan at heart

Yep could do ... might be a good solution. Tried it on the AGA-S and it's a PITA but its not really designed for that

I have but the non-res wire malarkey has always put me off

To be honest it's not that big a faff. You could get some ready-wicks. I tend to wait til I'm in the mood and make a few wires up in a batch.

I think since I started vaping I have come to like a warmer vape than the Novas can give me, so I am on the Phoenix dripper most of the time now.
