I may have ordered one of these yesterday, there was certainly a vivi nova in the order, it looked like one of them. It was the cheapest one they had I expect. Will look at the bottom when it gets here.

My coppers all go to the nice man behind the bar if I am waiting long enough to be served. He is learning, and I am getting served quicker. Everybody is happy.

Oh but I have a thing for cotton wicks now. And found a load of old medical, unmedicated dressing lying about to play with. pretty sure i can make the coil, whether I can get the bloody thing inside the head unit is another matter. Luckily I already have a multimeter, so that bits easy enough. Must buy wire, must buy wire..... I`ve gotta try cotton wick, havent yet I wouldn't have if I had bought stuff. I made one from the wifes make-up remover pads in the bathroom as a last ditch attempt to save a leaky T3. Worked a treat, really good. highly recommend it.

It's much fiddlier to fill than the T3, smaller, and only occasionally hits me with a proper vape before the battery cuts out. Might be because I'm just using it on a standard Riva, Might just be a dodgy one. Get plenty of vapour, but almost no throat hit. Hoping it might just need a day or two to vape in properly. I appear to have a cold as of this morning, which might explain everything. I found the T3 an absolute waste of space, gurgly, leaky piece of junk. I will be selling my genuine vivi novas very soon to fund the evods I bought as I really fancy a change. I won't sell them until I have tried one though (should be here tomorrow hopefully) and if I'm not impressed then I will sell the evods instead and stick with my novas for a while longer. See, the T3 is the only clearo I've owned that hasn't leaked. Well the first one i had didn't, til the tank broke in a drop to a brick floor in a pub. Second one did, then I did my only rewicking ever, jamming bits of cotton wool in the coil, and it never leaked again. Sadly while attempting to rewick it again, I pulled the whole coil out, and now i don't have it anymore, and am thinking of learning the art of recoiling for it.

What did you find disappointing about the evods Dave Vader? I just ordered 2 of them and am now a little concerned lol. It's much fiddlier to fill than the T3, smaller, and only occasionally hits me with a proper vape before the battery cuts out.

Is the incredibly cheap stuff there actually any good? As I am still in a world of annoying clearos, bought a V3, and it also leaks now, evod is disappointing, put a new head in my T2 5ml, still leaky, and i broke both the T3s that I had running nicely. Boo.... Was thinking of getting a stack of Ego batteries from fasttech for the festival season, and though i might grab some cheap clearos while i was at it, anybody used any, are they any good? Are there Vivi Novas worth a punt? etc. etc. Perhaps there is a pattern here!!!! Perhaps that is why by spending just a few pennies or pounds more and getting my eGo Batteries and Clearos from a UK and well respcted Vendor, they are still all on the go 9+ months down the road and are still my standard everyday during the day, vaping kit. Of the things I do buy cheaply, I am pleasantly suprised when they last longer than a month and when they don't, well I am not surprised. However by buying decent stuff at decent prices I know that if it does not live up to my expectations, I can return it to the Vendor and get it replaced. I have not yet had to do so with anything that I have bought! You misunderstand me Lobey, I bought all the crap broken stuff from a very reputable UK vendor, who I won't name, as it's not his fault. Since all this stuff is so eaily breakable, and hit and miss, I figure why not buy it cheaper and worry less. I'm fairly sure all this leaking must be my fault.

I'm skint for a bit, so will probably be able to hang on for the slow boat fred. It was robbie's constant mentioning of them that made me think it might be worth a go, since I keep chucking away a fiver a go on prefectly reputable clearos that still leak and don't work properly. Have a fairly nice paying wedding gig on saturday, so may use the proceeds for an order.

Just got my first EVOD on saturday after all the raving. Lucky really, cos just after i got it I pulled the whole coil out of my T3 trying to clean it out. Not impressed yet, the T3 was great, and the EVOD seems to need to get to battery cut-out before it really hits. Hoping it's just teething problems and it will vape in properly soon. Also fiddlier to fill than the T3, and not big enough, can they do a 3ml version? And a clear one so I can see what's in there?

I made the mistake of going for a curry about 3 weeks in. Bloody hell! nearly died.... have had to downgrade my curry strength now, no more super-hot stuff So hows your vaping going Dave , I recall you wanted to start off with some alcoholic liquids when you started . Money has taken it's inevitable toll, I discovered i quite liked Vapourtine's pina colada, discovered that all coffee flavours are revolting, and kept going back to tobacco flavours (cos you need them when you're hanging out with smokers all the time) now just buy 50ml of air-cured from vapology a month, and have a bottle of dekang mint on the side for when i fancy a change. I still haven't broken even on the stinky savings yet, and today I am down to one T3, as my spare head for it popped yesterday, and I only have 2 leaky CE4s on the side for emergencies. Had to hit the overdraft to order a couple of clearos from Vapeescape this morning, so should be ok. But damn this gets pricey. Sticking at it though, should level out soon. Apologies for derail, as you were all.

That looks remarkably easy, and rather cheap. I might have to get some, my current "rebuilding" extends to jamming bits of rolled up cotton wool through the coil on my T3s, which remarkably does work. Not yet brave enough to start fiddling about with coils.

Perhaps they will do something with juices, there is a lot of research going into how we taste things. The implications for flavours is enormous. Perhaps they will dehydrate the juices so that they take up virtually no space, we could have a weeks worth in a tiny device that NEVER leaked! Oh that would be nice, I need the future to hold a tiny device that I can hold in the corner of my mouth like a rollup, that lasts for a whole week, costs about 3 quid, and can be chucked away and replaced. Well, i say need....
