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.

HOW TO PULL YOUR POST :-)
A PBusardo Tutorial – How to Pull Your Post
I’ve had enough question about this to warrant a video.
If you screw your atty or carto onto your device and nothing happens, try this first before tossing it.
Hope some find this helpful!
How I slot my cartos!
A PBusardo Tutorial – How I slot my cartos!
There have been a lot of comment about the size of the slots shown in this vid. I tend to make my slots a little bigger if I know a thick juice is going in the tank.
This may or may not be the right way to do things, or your way to do things, this is what works best for me, thus the title, “How I slot my cartos”.
I have never experienced leaking from any tank using any carto.
Cartos used:
Boge LR
Boge NR
Smoktech 1.7 single coil
I will say that I use mostly Boges which appear to resist leaking better than the Smoktechs.
Sometimes, when filling, I’ll get drippage out of the of the mouth piece end of the carto.
If this happens, I’ll blow it out before putting it back on the power source, and slide the slots under the seal a bit so I can vape any excess until it get’s a little dry then slide the slots back out and off I go.
I use the slotted carto until it clogs up to the point it sucks juice instead of air, toss it, and move onto the next.
I would much rather my filler be wet then burn up a dry one.

That annoying wrapping and getting rid of it
That annoying wrapping and getting rid of it
Of course the easiest way to get the wrapping off is to order your cartos without the wrapping 🙂 I had a bunch with wrapping, so this is what I came up with.
WARNING – If you chose to use choose to use Goof Off or something similar (I know some people are using WD40) BE SURE to wipe it off completely and don’t get any in the carto! It ain’t a good vape!
If you use the wire brush method a few times as described in this video, you should be able to get all the glue off while avoiding other chemicals.
Cleaning Boge 510 LR Cartos
A little clarification on this video. This method works best to clean your carto to get the previous juice out so you have little to no flavor creep when using a new flavor. If you’re cleaning your carto because you’ve burnt the piss out of the inside or the coils are gunked to the point the draw is too tight, then this may not work for you, but feel free to try… it’s cheap 🙂
