Can't see air holes, unless you mean the gap either side where the wick comes out where it has the ohm's rating. Sorry, but I can't describe it any better.

I emailed the vendor, who asked me to return the item. so I sent it back yesterday. The bad news is, I've just refilled the other vivi nova, as it was 1/4 full and I topped it up to about 3/4 full screwed the top cap back on, sucked on the mouthpiece and nada, no vapour.

I can hear the atomiser working, so I unscrewed the top silver cap and manually held the black mouth tip straight onto the opaque plastic centre and it's producing vapour.

So, it would appear that the problem of no vapour is connected to the screw cap being on, but I can't understand how. I've shone a torch down when the cap is on and it looks as if it's sitting central. I'm at a loss here. ???

Hi,

I'm looking through old posts for advice on vapour problems with the vivi nova's. I've upgraded my riva to a provari after being off the cigs for a year and bought a vivi nova 2.5 kit, with the 3 changeable heads which has lasted ages and I was delighted with it.

So, I just bought another 2 vivi nova kit's, so I could keep one for my regular vape and one when I fancied a change of juice. I thought the 2.8 ohms changeable head already in the new vivi nova was under performing as it needed to be 'run in' and would improve, but it was like sucking on a blocked straw. In the end, nothing was coming out. I can hear the atomiser was firing up and hissing, but no vapour. I decanted my juice and changing to another head, refilled it, same problem - no vapour. ???

I tried the 3rd head, I can hear all the atomisers are working, but no vapour. :'(I still had my old nova, so I dismantled it to see if I could learn how it works and after watching a utube video, I cut notches around one of the plastic top caps to line up with the threads - that didn't work, neither did changing the metal cap and mouth piece.

Thankfully, no problem with the second vivi nova, but anyone got any ideas how this happened and how to fix it? Thanks all, now over 13 months free from smoking.

Thanks folks,

I've bought the vivi nova v2 tank kit, with 3 different ohms, 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 and more juice.

I must admit, the thought of having to scroll through the lcd screen on the provari and having to change the voltage according to the ohm rating, all seems quite alien atm, especially after my simple little Riva, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it after a couple of days.

Thanks again.. Very educational and supportive forum.

Hi All,

I haven't posted, but been lurking around on a regular basis, trying to educate and motivate myself. The good news, it's working and I'm still off the cigs from last January... .. So, many thanks for all your help!

My old Riva's have been brilliant, but want to upgrade and thinking of getting either the satin, silver mini provari, or the white provari (which is pictured next to the silver provari on the link above).

The silver model is cheaper and looks slightly different to the white, so is it an earlier model to the white provari?

Brilliant advice - tried lifting the centre pin and it's now charging. Thanks vm..

Thanks for the advice everyone, I can pinch my daughters mouthwash for the time being and get some more next time I'm shopping.

I think the taste issue maybe related to some other issues I've been experiencing and would appreciate if this is common from people who are knowledgeable with vaping. From day 3 of vaping, my nose felt very stuffy and sensitive, fast forward to the present and it now feels like someone has rammed 2 sharp pencils up my nose.

I'm not a snotty kind of person and only need to blow my nose when I've got a cold, but it feels so blocked up, I just feel I have to blow it. I don't suffer from nose bleeds, but each time I blow my nose, there's a small amount of fresh blood on the tissue. This is happening on a daily basis, on both PG or VG only.

I wasn't overly concerned, thinking the vapour is drying my nasal cavity, making it dry and it's only small capillaries. Regarding the taste, perhaps some of this blood may be trickling down the back of my throat and making that metalic, crap taste in my mouth.

My lips have gone very dry, which I gather is normal, but I've also had an ulcer on the tip of my tongue and the roof of my mouth and throat felt very scratched. I'm careful to wipe any eliquid off my hands with a tissue, but I've noticed tiny bumps with tiny pin prick brown dots and my skin is peeling mainly on my index fingers and thumbs, but also on my palms.

Does any of this sound familiar? I'm wondering have I being a little bit careless handling the ejuice, or I'm thinking if it's peeling the skin off my hands, then that explains why I'm in frigging agony with my nose.

I haven't been able to vape the last few days, only letting the vapour in my mouth and not exhaling through my nose. Been looking for info on allergic reactions or adverse symptoms to ejuice - but can't find much, (which is a good sign,) only that approx 2% of peeps can be allergic. I'll be frigging screaming if I'm in the minority here. Did read some woman had similar sinus probs due to her coconut allergy which was used in the VG liquid.

I'm not allergic to anything except penicillin, I can eat and drink what I like and able to smoke any amount on a night out with any irritation. We don't get a list of ingredients in the ejuice, ie flavourings, colourings etc. and although I'm sure the vender would supply if I asked, but I don't know how helpful this would be, as I would be none the wiser on what is irritating me. ???

I hope anyone reading this isn't put off vaping, because I'm not going to give up without exhausting all avenues. I'm looking at the bigger picture and putting things into perspective.

These problems pale in comparison to the deterimental effects of smoking. I've ordered from a few different vendors and will give the menthol a try - I remain positive and hopeful things will improve and would appreciate if anyone is familiar with my situation. Thanks all.

Thanks Chrissie, I'm reading as much as I can and looking at various vids, but still learning. I do like the Boge cartomisers, but would like to buy some more atomisers that I'll use specifically just for dripping, because I found some juices hang around in the cartomisers and I'd like to try difference juices out.

Also I also bought another Riva for my son, who has also not smoked for the past week and he wants to stick with using the atomisers solely for cartridge use.

So, would you recommend different types of atomisers for each of us.

Sorry to be a pain, I did try googling 'Atomisers for Dummies'..
