Another ViVi Nova system arrives, and if you’ve been following Spinfuel over the past year, you know the ViVi Nova has been one of the most frequently discussed clearomizer/tank systems in our history. This isn’t necessarily because it’s the absolute best, but rather because its initial release coincided with a pivotal moment in the vaping world, leading to countless iterations and significant impact.
The original ViVi Nova launched in 2012 as a dual-coil, 3.5ml tank. It quickly became a benchmark for many new tank systems that followed. Soon after, the Mini ViVi Nova appeared, a single-coil, 2ml version designed for smaller batteries. Then came the Vision ViVi Nova-S, which featured a metal sleeve over its 2ml clear tube, utilizing the new MT3 coil design. And now, we have the Vision Mini ViVi Nova, the subject of this review, distinguished by its clear tube and MT3 coil system.
Design and Features
The Vision Mini ViVi Nova (clear tube version) is a sleek, compact clearomizer designed specifically to complement smaller eGo-style batteries, like the eGo-C Twist or Vision Spinner. Its clear tank allows for easy monitoring of your e-liquid levels, a distinct advantage over its metal-sleeved counterpart, the Nova-S.
One of its standout features is the use of the MT3 bottom coil changeable head. This design places the heating element at the bottom of the tank, ensuring the wicks are consistently saturated, even as e-liquid levels drop. The 2ml capacity is ideal for on-the-go vaping, providing a good balance between size and e-liquid autonomy.
It utilizes eGo threading, making it compatible with a wide range of popular eGo and 510 threaded devices (with an adapter for 510 if needed, though it generally fits snugly on eGo batteries). The construction feels sturdy, and assembly is straightforward.
Performance Evaluation
From the moment you fill the Vision Mini ViVi Nova, its performance begins to impress. Filling is a breeze; simply unscrew the bottom, fill the tank (avoiding the center air hole), and screw the base back on. We recommend waiting a few minutes for the e-liquid to fully saturate the wicks before your first vape.
During our testing, we experienced excellent vapor production that was dense and satisfying. Flavor delivery was equally impressive, particularly after the coil had a chance to break in after about half a tank of e-liquid. The flavors came through clearly and accurately, without any muted notes or metallic taste.
Crucially, the Vision Mini ViVi Nova proved to be entirely leak-free throughout our review period. This is a significant advantage, providing peace of mind and a cleaner vaping experience. The bottom coil design ensures consistent wicking, preventing dry hits even during extended use.
Compatibility with Kanger MT3 Coils
A notable benefit of the Vision Mini ViVi Nova is its compatibility with Kanger MT3 replacement coils. This cross-compatibility offers vapers greater flexibility and easier access to replacement parts, as Kanger MT3 coils are widely available. This is a huge plus for longevity and cost-effectiveness.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Priced affordably, typically in the $10-12 range, the Vision Mini ViVi Nova (clear tube version) offers exceptional value. It performs admirably, delivering a satisfying vaping experience with both excellent flavor and vapor production.
If you primarily use smaller battery devices like the eGo-C Twist or Vision Spinner and appreciate the ViVi Nova series, you will undoubtedly love this compact tank system. Its great flavor, robust vapor, leak-free operation, and ease of use make it a highly recommended clearomizer for your portable vaping setup.
