Umm - they are very long

Well done Tim, glad you are enjoying it. If you want to see an "interesting" review of the viv nova, check this out:

Umm - they are very long

If you look at the picture, it was purposely taken like that to make it look long It is long though

I have got a little twisted since my purchase

Anyway - i guess folks want to hear my thoughts on a Vision Vivi-Nova?

Well as you know last night I was going to dip the wick, and fill it up, and I did

I didn't use the jug as in the picture (that was just for fun!) Well PixieJuice Vanilla Ice Cream was chosen for first fill, I've been vaping it recently so an easy reference.

Dead easy to fill, aim, squirt, fill, did that to the wick first and left it for an hour, took the top cap off and blobbed the coil too

Picked it up this morning, and it was a little early, really didn't want to leave its nice snug packaging, in fact it was ruddy awkward to get out took my V2 off the Twist that was filled with the energy stuff, and put the plinth on, put the Vivi-Nova on, put it down, went inside, popped up stairs. Forgot my tablets Don't worry, I came back down, back into the vape room, and picked my Twist up.

3.2v was chosen, fired it up, a few plumes of vape appeared, I vaped, it was pleasent, it was not muted, and stronger than the V3r's I've been using (Vision V3 Re-buildable Clearomizer) - whack the voltage up, crackle crackle pop pop - whoaaaaaaaaaaa - steady on, that was fun that shouldn't be fun, but it was, so.......... stuff it, crank it up 4.8v is it? Dunno? Crackle Crackle Hiss Hiss Pop Pop - pop - ............................................

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

........and people need a Penelope?

Throat hit - flavour - cloud of vape - well it was great, made me smile anyway

Guys and gals without, said it earlier, and I'll say it again, go get a Twist, go on, you will not regret it

The Vivi-Nova is great, it wicks well, it has great flavour with my chosen e-juice - it was great, why haven't I experience that before? I wasn't expecting much, to me, it was just a tiny little juice holding vessel that held more that the V3's - I still haven't topped it up So quite economical, in fact the higher voltage, more vape, less vaping, makes sense really

Easy to use, easy to assemble, and the reverse, heads change in seconds, or make your own wick coils - it isn't heavy, it isn't big, might be bigger than what you have, but it was really small to my eyes it is cute, and has stealth mode, the Twist is the key to it all

One disadvantage - you'll enjoy vaping even more There is a real one, once you've got a full tank, and fancy a change, you either have to empty it, or vape it - not really a major issue - just don't stick in a full tank full of juice you might not like

thank you to everyone who has talked about their Twists and Vivi-Nova's - thank you to all the suppliers who have tempted me - and next time I get offered a Provari - try blue, not white - white will get very dirty - at least send me a real piccie

What more needs to be said - I need another one of these

So there we go - pop pop pop pop pop pop pop crackle pop pop crackle crackle crackle pop pop pop pop pop pop pop

it's grrrrrrrrrrrrreat

don't worry, I've corrected the above error you made in your quote

[kurotoshiro]

I also bought a 1000mAh Twist earlier this week, and I've been liking it very much.

Just out of interest, I ordered a couple of other things to try as well. A vivi nova v2 and a vision v3. I was mainly interested to see how they compare with what I'm used to, which at the moment is dripping onto a 306. Tried the vision on the Twist, and had to ask - Where's the vapour? Where's the flavour? Tried the vivi nova on the Twist, and again I'm thinking - Where's the taste? Where are the plumes of vapoury goodness? Soon enough I was forced to go recover a 306 that had been temporarily relegated to the kitchen cupboard, and stuck that on the Twist. Woof! Hello! There's my lovely vapour.

[timnowvapes]

odd

I'll admit at first I had issues with the V3r's - but now, they be good Leak free, and vape really well - the Vivi - is just excellent - what juice are you vaping?

Here's my list:
Pixie Juice - Vanilla Ice Cream - Mint-Choc-Chip - Ginger-Biccies - Brandy

UKecigstore Virgin Vapors - Creme Caramel - Caramel Kona Milkshake - hangsen energy cow

VapeEscape - Grizwald - Cocomel - Karoffee Kick - RY4 - Vanilla Tobac

Health-e-Vape - Banana

I have more - but the above are vaped either all day, or part of the day, flavour is great, vape clouds depend on my technique and juice, some juice clouds away, some don't.

....all of the above have worked really well with either a V2 or V3 clearomizer, the V3's tend to me a little better, the Vivi-Nova - blows them away in terms of Vape and Flavour - especially when coupled to the Twist, which is just great.

You'll have to remember I'm new to all of this, 4 weeks and a few days, and I have nothing else to compare it to, apart from some Innokin and Boge catromizers - plus some i3 clearomizers.

Also before the twist, everything was done via an eGo-T battery, now I get to add a Twist to all of that

[kurotoshiro]

I have to admit, I only tried a couple of different juices in the vision and the vivi, before going back to the 306's. I tried Doppio Espresso from Vapour Juice UK, Griz's Peanut Butter, Health-e-Vape's Signature Tobacco, and possibly another I can't remember.

All I can say is, I know what these juices can produce when dripped onto a 306, and what I was getting out of the vision and vivi was pretty weak in comparison (and this matches my experience of all cartos and clearos I've tried so far).

Maybe it's a question of technique, I don't know. If it does come down to technique, maybe I'm just more naturally suited to direct dripping! I can chug two or three massive lung-fulls of thick vapour from a 306 on the Twist (before the battery auto cuts off), whereas with the vision and vivi, it seemed like I was having to expend a greater amount of overall (sucking) effort in a struggle to draw one relatively insubstantial and flavourless lung-full in the same amount of time.

But I don't want to sound like I'm criticising visions or vivis or any other cartos, clearos, tanks, etc. Obviously there's a lot of personal taste and preference in vaping, and if you find the bit of kit that works for you, that's all anyone can aim for. If visions and vivis work for other people - then long live visions and vivis!

I just happen to have found that dripping works better for me. And the 306s I use are really performing great on the Twist. As was pointed out to me before I got one (by Perpy, iirc), it's the regulated voltage that is the beauty of it, rather than the variable voltage (although this is interesting to play around with as well). There is just no noticeable drop off in the power output at all. Which is a step up for me (from the mini-argento, which is great for a while on a fresh batt, but does noticeably drop off over time).

[maccafan]

The twist is not regulated but it does output set voltages under load very well, at least under 4.4 volts..Much better than the first generaton of LT..

For a near dripping like experience get a Vertigo/Vapo King type B and try a SS wick..2ml capacity and a drip like full and rich vape..The ego-W ain't too far behind followed closely by the imist..

Ah, it's not actually regulated? I stand corrected then.

[maccafan]

I thought it was regulated too, because most if not all Joyetech batteries are, till someone told me that it wasn't...

I did some research and it isn't..

Does any UK supplier stock them, as far as you know?

[maccafan]

Not the type-B..

But I would get this without thinking twice..

vapo.ro/mods/Vapo-King-with-type-B-cartridge

That's 22 euro shipped with a type B cone/sleeve..

or this:

www.papierosek.pl/index.php?s=sklep&waluta=2 with the Type B sleeve..

with the Type P or the Type N depending on your choice..I bought from the Polish site and had delivery in 5 days and others have bought from the Romanian site and had similar delivery experiences..
