These are not genuine Vision Vivi Nova's, you can tell by the coil heads that have the small cone on them and the box design does not have the Vision logo on them. Many have found that these Clones have quality issues. For the money is it worh a punt? I'd say yes, but just be aware that the heads are different and you may have trouble sourcing one's that are EXACTLY the same - as I have found to my cost! If you're OK re-coiling and re-wicking them then great, grab yourself a bargain, just be aware of the pitfalls.

Thank you gents.
At the price I'd guessed that they would not be genuine.
I am buying with the intention of rebuilding, so for the price I think I'll take a punt

Yep I've had some of these as well, not only were the heads different, but 3 of the 7 bought had dodgy threads on the tanks that cross threaded & jammed onto base snapping off the bottom of the tank. Not only that but the posi pin does protrude too far out of the center post so if you're using them on an ego battery it's easier then normal to push the center pin of your battery in. Didn't realise they weren't the genuine arcticle when I bought them, had copies before but these were defo the worst

Hold that thought
Mebbe I should get just one good one instead of three dodgy ones

Definitely false economy to buy these.
