Welcome to POTV darthvapour, I am no nova expert, though there are plenty here that are, you wouldn't be using a lavatube would you?
I would, but you don't need to, go much beyond 4v with a 1.8 head, are you able to check the ohm reading at all?

thank you for a quick responce. yes i am using a lavatube v1 , lavatube lambo 4 and a ego twist. the main problem I am having using it below 4 volts is less vapour i dont really intend to use the 1.8 its was just for testing purposes and it was tasting burnt even on lower voltages after a few draws. the lambo 4 allows me to test the ohm reading they are pretty much bang on they sah there are if not a tad high

'Scuse me, sleep got me in the end after my last post, any vivi novaheads in here with suggestions? Bearing in mind that different juices have been tried, the cleans would be clean, etc?

I would stick the unit on a Voltmeter to test the current being given from the device tbh, it is very possible that what the device says it is giving and what it is actually giving may be different here.

Just noticed it has been tried on a few devices, was it used on the VV first, if so IF the voltage is incorrect then it could cause "Burnt" taste, and once that`s happened it is very hard to get rid of it, so transferring to another device would still result in yucky stuff taste.

Which is a fine point, lavatubes, especially v1s, can be a bit wobbly on volt accuracy.

Its was last used on my lambo 4 before the 2.4 Burnt out, that was due to my girlfriend vaping it at 6 volts as well as not tipping to wet the wick. As for the voltmeter I need to buy one

As a side note the only way I could get the nova to work on the lambo was to use an adapter otherwise it was too close to the device and wouldn't draw, could this be a reason as the adapter won't come off the nova now

 

[Merino-Teflon]

I don't think that is the reason for the burnt taste, but you could be twisting things far too tightly into place....the lambo will be fine with a nova, if you leave it a little loose, you can test it with small turns, might be worth trying also to gently use pliers to remove nova from adaptor.

yeah am going to attempt that when i finish work tonight just cant seem to figure out what the problem is might just get a nrw nova see if that changes anything
