A PBusardo Tutorial – Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding

Yeah, I know what I said, the Vivi Nova isn’t a true “Rebuildable”. Well, it’s still not, yet it turns out it’s one of the easiest re-builds I’ve done.

In this video, I talk more about the Vivi Nova, share something with you I probably shouldn’t, and show you how I clean and how I rebuilt the Viva Nova.

IMotion issue resolved with the help of my dremel. Testing continues…

HEADS UP WARNING!!

When you screw a Vivi Nova (full size) or other similarly sized tank firmly onto this device you completely shut off the air flow. It absolutely needs one of the following:

• air paths cut into the outer ring of the top cap
• a higher sitting 510 connection

I’m also a little iffy on the venting method used on this but it will be hard to test.

I’ve contacted the manufacturer on these items. Hopefully they’ll listen. We shall see.

Also, a note on pricing… it looks like they’re trying to do what Smoktech tried with the V-Max. From the CigStar website:

For the newest IMotion2 V+, the market guided price is $120/set. We won’t provide you if you sells less than $120/set. Thank you for your attention!

So don’t shoot the vendors if you don’t like the pricing! 🙂

Phil, I just wanted to thank you.
I’m 26 years old, and have been smoking for roughly 12 or 13 years. I tried switching to an electronic cigarette back in december, when a brick and mortar store opened in my area. I bought a cheapy ego knockoff with horrible chinese e-liquid that they had in stock. It lasted about 3 days before I returned the device to the store and went back to analogs.

A friend of mine, who has been vaping for about a year and a half now, started linking me your videos trying to get me re-interested in vaping. Finally, I gave in and bought a VZ VV chrome tube (after watching several of your mod reviews, one being on the normal VZ VV) at the end of july, and some juice from bombay.

A month before I ordered the mod I began to work from home, and noticed I was smoking A LOT more than I ever had in the past. My one pack a day habit started peaking upwards to the 1.5 packs a day, and if I had given it any more time, it probably would of gone to two packs.

I’ve had one analog since my mod came in, and that was due to my order from bombay not shipping, and the juice from the other company not making it in time. However, once again, I turned to your videos for help with finding a new supplier while bombay gets their orders shipped out. I tried Rawrvapor, and have not regretted it.

You probably get this a lot, but you (a long with the friend that kept linking me your videos, and the guys at vapeteam) have played a large part in saving my life.

I’ve only made two, now three legitimate attempts at quitting analogs. The first being cold turkey (That only lasted for about 5 to 6 months), and the second mentioned above, but I feel at this point I will not be returning to analogs.

So thank you, Phil, and keep up the great work!

A PBusardo Review – KGO VV – Hoosier ECig

Post Review Follow-up:

Not sure this was clear in the review, so I’ll mention it here. As far as the passthrough function is concerned, the battery does not need to be fully charged for the passthrough to work. It just needs to build up enough charge to fire the device. You can then use it as it’s charging.

I just didn’t want people to think they could plug their completely dead KGO VV into a USB port somewhere and start vaping away because that’s not how it works.

IMHO there is a difference between true passthrough functionality and vape-while-charging functionality.

If you look at the Hoosier website, they don’t claim a true passthrough, but call it, “Passthrough charging” This I can completely agree with, so perhaps knocking it for it’s passthrough capabilities was unfair.

Another VV for us to play with. Here are some photos for you. This thing is huge (Well, not Bam huge… but still huge)! The ProVari appears for a size comparison.

Full review coming soon!

DID I DID yet? No, I DIDn’t yet, but when I DID, I’ll let you know how I DID.
In the meantime I DID take some photos for you of the full size DID and the mini DID.
The Boge carto appears for size comparison.

What are they? Rebuildable genesis style atomizers with tank systems.

I think we’re beginning to hone down on what it is I’m really looking for (Hell, I don’t even know). I really like the idea of a custom graphic or symbol that can be used with or without the text. Something professional… something custom… something modern.

Keep’em coming. I’ll know it when I see it. I just don’t think I’ve seen it yet.
