Alright so for Xmas I got a Vamo v5 and it came with a ViVi nova 2.8 tank. (First time vaping)

Well, I bought some Cuttwood Unicorn milk & put it in my nova.

Ive been sitting here for over a hour, about ran my battery down trying to figure out why im not getting any hits. Ive tried hitting it on each Watt. Ive tried down sizing the battery. Ive tried letting it set for a few hours. Ive tried the methods of blowing into it to clear out the gunk. I mean I just opened the thing this morning and haven't been able to get it to work on 3 different tanks. The only thing I can figure is where its sorda thick juice. Try and help me out guys, without resorting to RDAs please.

I mean vape is coming out, like Im blowing out vapor but the taste is god awful. Taste like plastic or something i dont know how to explain. I watched a walkthrough on how to set it up and I did everything it asked. I also had a CE4 laying around and tried it and still, getting nasty hits. Ive not got one good hit since Ive gotten this vamo. Any help is appreciated. I just want to vape for Christmas.

What is the PG/VG ratio of the E-Liquid you are using?

IMHO, CE4s are garbage and I am not at all surprised that it is not working for you. ViVi Novas are normally really good but there are some cheap clones on the market. Do you have any vape shops in your area?

You may have had it set too high to begin with and burnt the wick. Once it is burnt you won't be able to remove that taste. With a 2.8 ohm coil you won't need many watts or volts to produce vapor. Make sure you prime the wick before firing and start very low and slowly increase your watts. You may need a new coil and try again. Don't give up, it is a learning curve. If you have a local vape shop they may be able to help get you started. Good luck.

That juice is 70 percent VG...the little wicks in the Vivi nova just might be having a hell of a time wicking it.....one thing you can try is coating the wicks directly with that liquid and letting it soak in for a bit and (even though you normally don't do this,) try dripping a single drop threw the tiny hole on top of the coil assembly. That will put liquid on the coil. once you've dripped that drop put your tank back together and Set your vamo to like 3.7 volts or somewhere around there (it will be a lower wattage with that high of resistance of coil) and try and take a puff. It's going to gurgle because you dripped liquid into the coil head and a little will go down the airflow channel but if you do that and still can't get a vape off of it then your coils bad or you might have to thin the juice out a bit to get it to wick. That's my guess
