Thanks guys, so its not my imagination then lol.
Yep I like (actually prefer) the vape from dctanks, but found they are great the first fill and leak on the second. I have a tremor in my hands and find them awkward and messy to work with so gave up on them. I dont know if its the fact that they feed from the bottom that I prefer the vape or not tho.

Have looked at a review of the kanger mt3 as something to try in the future with my next order.... has anyone else experience of these?

I have cut down the nicotine strngth from 24mg when I started gradually to 18. I have done it that slow it hasnt really been to much of a problem, although have some 24 in a few less than great flavors I get a bit of a dizzy head on them now, like the first ever cig I smoked lol; but have noticed this with all strengths. Its just more noticable with more left over in the vivi nova than the minis. I think anyway lol.

It seems I have a 30ml bottle of collected backwash saved up, thinking although weak would do me in a pinch If for some reason I did ever run out. I take it is just best binning this stuff then?

I normally wash the novas out with hot water weekly and give them a single dry burn, I seem to get on average about 3 weeks of use per head before the flavor is weak enough to warrant changing. I take it this is about right?

I too have had no problems with the novas, I have my mini novas 5 months, I have spare plastic parts but as yet have not had to use them.

I guess now I have the vamo I have got the bug to try more new rebuildable tanks lol.

Thanks

Dan.

Thanks guys,
Indeed, anyone who is thinking about one of these should go for it.
I had been thinking about it for months, I was infact thinking about a lavatube but at the time I was looking around xmas, these had appeared but there wasnt much information on them, so I waited to see what the general opinion was, and a few more reviews on youtube appeared.
Loosing one of my riva batteries while out one day sort of forced the issue.
The riva batteries where lasting me a full 10-11 hours, I could get from waking to bedtime, but found going much beyond 10 hours the vape was noticably weaker.
I also have a vv pasthrough, which seems to last about 6 hours at highest setting before it tails off when not plugged in, although the beauty of it is being able to leave it plugged in at the computer or the car, and it seems to vape only a bit less than the sweet spot I have found on the vamo.
The 2 18650 batteries I got for the vamo seemed to have a fair charge in them as 20mins on the charger yesterday morning and they read fully charged.
I used it all day yesterday, and so far today the battery according to the vamo is still reading 3.8V, so I will continue with that battery to see both at what voltage it wants to recharge at and how long it lasts between charges. It's fun in a geeky sort of way lol

Andy B, how do you find the clearos?
I know myself and the others I have advised to get the Riva kit have experienced the same problem I had with them, the clearo that came with the riva kit was brilliant (mine still works 6 months later, although not much flavor from it at all lol) but the replacements I got (5 of) all either leaked if the top was loose enough to get a vape from them, or if tightened enough so as not to leak burned........... all 5 went in the bin.

The mini novas although look a bit out of place on the riva batteries, I find are great, great vape, have had no leaks, and much less fiddely to work with. (I have a tremor in my hands so find the mini novas a god send!)Have 2 mini novas now 5 months, had 3 but lost one, replaced the heads a few times only due to muted flavor, never a coil failure yet.
Ordered the bigger vivi nova for the vamo, but as yet not tried it.
The mini novas have been lasting me all day If out working only needing refilled in the morning, when not working I have to top them up about 7 at night. Pretty good I think!
Will be interesting to see how long they last between top ups now with the vamo.

I actually enjoyed the vape from the cartos, but just to much hassle, messy and fiddly to fill, even with tanks.

What are the rest of you guys and gals using? What are your experiences?

Agreed Perpetua!

Just have to put it out of my mind until then lol.

I have now got 5 people between friends and family onto this vapping game now lol hopefully going for 6 next week.
When my vamo arrives, i'm going to donate my riva kit to my uncle who is currently out of work and struggling to keep up with stinkys!
I'll still have my variable voltage passthrough for a descrete vape when out and about.
Although I'm no longer self concious vaping in public, I get plenty of questions from strangers and let anyone that wants to try have a go on it, so hopefully many more have followed down the same route!

Thank you Perpetua,

I'm happy to stick with Jason as he has been a great reliable vendor so far although he doesnt seem to do a kit. I don't want to fumble and buy mismatched equipment, wasting money I dont have. Perhaps I will email him and find out what he reccomends.

Woohoo, 1 Month stinky free!

I'm not sure, I use a 60/40 pg/vg mix.
Is that to heavy?
I think the next stop is the vivi mini in that case.
Thanks
Dan.

Thanks mate, I never let the clearos get much below half way, in the hope that keeping the wick really wet will prolong its life. Which seems to be good practice as the original non rebuildable clearo that came with my riva kit is still going strong (If not better than ever).
