No flac just my opinion, I've only used genuine vision vivi's and this Olympian one just isn't the same, my point is its being sold as a vision and costs the same. All my visions have came with heads that read within .1/.2 of the stated resistance, this one just feels lighter and the finish is poor and cheap, if I thought I was buying a copy then no great shakes, in fact I just wouldn't buy it for 11.99 when I can get a vision for 9.95 from VE, the picture on the website is of a vision box with the little red bit in the v, easy to copy of course, but it also says genuine vision vivi nova in the listing, however when the box arrives its not branded by vision at all. That is to me blatantly misleading. The finish on the top of mine is rough and flaky as well as the mental head readings. I've got a new one coming from VE I'll take some pics of them both so you can see they are not the same. I'm waiting for the new one because two unused ones should be identical,right? If they weigh the same and look the same and the new one has mental head readings as well and this is indeed all in my imagination, I'll lower my nic levels and show my bum in fenwicks window! Chris.

If you've got a vv or vw device just crank the watts/volts up. Works for me. Mind you I'm not a big throat hit junkie I prefer clouds of vapour so maybe not the best to advise. Chris

I have one to send back to them, they are not genuine vision in my opinion, they just feel cheap and the heads that came with mine read over 4.5 ohms! The top cap has a flakey finish as well, I have three genuine vision novas from vape escape and they are completely different, the feel of them screwing together, the finish on the centre post and the weight of the base, I am convinced these are not vision and when I told them so at no point did they deny it. It's going back tomorrow. Chris.

For me my interest was first fired at a cats protection BBQ would you believe, a lady there was vaping and it looked pretty good, she talked me through what she was using, dripping if I remember correctly and I thought, that looks like a good idea but a right faff on having to "fill" it every couple of puffs and I forgot about it, then while I was working in New York it was a right pain getting good tobacco and rizzlas and I also used to use filters so I had to go to specialist smoking shops for supplies, I saw in the shop a green smoke starter kit and went back to my apartment and did a bit of googling, made in the USA not china, worth a shot I thought, £80 quid it cost in 2010! And It was a total waste of money really, I flashed it about a bit after shows and stuff to show off but it tasted like crap and it was a complete lottery wether or not you got a hit of it or just burnt lungs! I never stopped smoking and ended up using it on planes and trains, eventually it went in a cupboard and briefly saw the light of day in 2011. This year I really was getting fed up of smoking and then I remembered the lady from the BBQ seemed to get vapour every time when she had a puff I also remembered her mentioning a forum with a strange accronym that I couldn't remember! After a bit more googling I found my way here and thought well this has to be the one! I asked you lot what you thought and ended up with a Vamo and some vivi novas, that was over a month ago and I haven't touched a rollie since 11:30 on the 2nd of January when my Vamo arrived. My cupboard is overflowing with juice, clearos, rebuildables, mesh, wick,wire etc!!! But I truly have no desire to suck on a rollie, non whatsoever! And for that I really must thank you all. Your knowledge has proven to be a massive shortcut to succes. I really didn't think it would last but it has and I'm sure it will. So erm ... Thank you and thanks again and thanks to the lady at the cats protection league BBQ!
Chris.

Hey Ewol, I'm an actor and have been for twenty plus years and I also deliver presentation training so I know a bit about nerves and anxiety, when your anxious the first thing to go is your voice, your mouth goes dry and it feels like you have a lump at the back of your throat when you swallow, swallowing makes it dryer still and so the circle begins. This is down to adrenaline. I'd say seven out of every ten people I work with who are having serious trouble with public speaking report these symptoms, if you suffer from anxiety there every chance that's all it is, it becomes self perpetuating, you notice it, it bothers you, you worry more about it, it bothers you more, you swallow more to see if its still there, it is, that worries you even more and so the cycle goes on. I'll wager that's all it is, but if its making your life difficult a trip to the Doctors just for the sake of your peace of mind would be half an hour well spent. Hope you get over it soon. Chris.

If you cut two tiny little "v" shapes opposite each other in the silicone cap it gives you two advantages, the silicone is much less likely to touch the wick meaning less chance of it getting heated and more juice can get to the coil if you give it a swish. Chris.
I use four 1mm wicks.

I'm waiting on my vision eternity arriving, a dripper that converts into a tank, very handy and cheap too.

Vapology is my go to for tailoring your liquid, drop down menus give you the option of pg/vg mix right up to 100% vg on tailor made juice and 40/60 pg/vg on the tobacco range, you can also add extra flavour double flavour and up to two more flavours to any one bottle. I love it! Chris.

I'm simply gonna have to start mixing my own juice, think I'm on borrowed time with the whole " at least I'm not smoking it'll save money in the long run" routine. The other half hasn't complained but I feel like I'm taking the p!ss a bit now so it must be bad! I think my last big spend will have to be getting set up DIY style for juice, then I might actually save some money, though that's not the reason I started vaping, it would be a canny bonus! So could anyone point me in the direction of a decent kit? It would be much appreciated as I'm a bit clueless and would want decent stuff to get me started.
Thanks
Chris.
