Vivi Novas and no end of problems

[jimsie33]

Hi, I'm having problems with my Vivi nova at the minute, got juice leaking down the centre post onto the battery terminal, filled it last night and have lost about 1ml of juice. Took it off last night and stood it on some tissue, was damp this morning. Will have to check when it gets empty. Any reason for this?

Cheers Peeps

check the silicone around the head to make sure its not damaged?

I get this sometimes, take the silicon bit of the top, if the metal bit falls out leave it off for a couple of hours, it's probably expanded cos of the juice mine are fine for another day or so after this

Thanks guys, will check it out when i get home, to messy at work to strip it down + wasted vaping time :smile-new:

Right, juice has just run out so i thought i'd check the tank with water before i wasted any more precious juice. Filling it up was ok until it got to the slots where the wick slides in then it just started pissing out through the centre stem where it screws to the battery. Should this be sealed as the air holes are on the side of the bottom bezel? Will leave it to dry out overnight and then reassemble in the morning with more juice.

Couldn't wait till the morning so thought i'd have a closer look. Pushed the centre positive pin out, there is a small silicone seal. Have some pics.

This one shows the bottom bezel and the centre pin.

This one shows the disassembled bottom end.

Seems like the air holes in the centre pin are too high up compared to the bottom bezel. Tried to show it's position in the first photo.

Anyone else had the same problem?

Sorry Jim cant say I have buddy both my vivi & the misses are fine. Had issues with DCT's but the vivi's are as good as the day we got them even after I did a mesh wick on mine, not one leak worth worrying about. I know that's no help to your situation but I think you might just be unlucky with that one.

Well Jimbo, I'm just going to persevere with it and try not to fill above 2.1ml or lay it down, hard when your out and about.
