I've bought 3 of these in the last week, I went to buy a metal tank from Juicy Cigs and thought what the hell and bought 2 metal tubes and a second Nova, I then bought one off Kungfuvaper in the classifieds, I've been impressed I've only tried one stock head the 2.4 ohm which was nearer 2.7 ohm and found it had a slight plastic taste.
I just don't bother with the supplied wicks, but that's the same with the vision stardusts for me, I do think from what I've read there does seem to be some sort of QC issue's going on, all mine have been fine, the only thing I'd say is the metal tanks could do with a window of some sort but hell an easy rebuildable for £10 I can't complain.
Beats the hell flavour wise out of a boge but does require a bit of persistance to get the right setup or maybe I've just been lucky.

Just a quick pic of the metal tubes on my GGTS and the Provari, the only thing I found was that I had a slight leak from the green tube, I replaced the o rings with slightly bigger ones, you can see them in the pics gives a better seal. Sorry not great pics came off phne

Here from the states there have also been mixed comments some it worked well some not well.
For me not well as i kept getting muted flavors with all 6 coils yes i bought 2 tanks.
I think its a quality control something is off , i also recoiled with a ce2 coil and a clearomizer coil and still would get a muted flavor.
The airflow on mine is tight as well as i read some complain its to airy and some to tight not sure what to think about that though.

Anyways its been said by gotavapes staff that these are being redone and tested so time will tell.
I do like the design and never did get the dreaded gurgle nor any leaks just muted flavor.

I also noticed on all my heads that the wires under the coil going into the assembly would be just as red as the coil itself , perhaps non resistant wire from that point may help or not.
Time will tell but i truly hope they work on the next batch cause there close to making something in a ce2 tank that works well.

In mean time i will soon get a Arry ActV3 CE2 version tank and look forward to it .

So................

After getting my bulli A2TM the other day I have not touched the nova lol
As I needed some wick & wire for the bulli I ordered some 2mm glass fibre wick from www.cig-eliquid.co.uk and 0.15 wire from wires.co.uk

After playing with the bulli and getting the coil and wick running well i just decided to coil and wick one of the nova heads and see what happens.

My setup for the nova head was as follows...

2 x strands of 2mm wick with 5 coils wrapped. I did not wrap the coils too tight as found out that this stops the juice wicking fast enough.
1 x strand of wick on top of the coil just as the nova heads come supplied

All i can say is this thing must be rewicked and coiled and then it perform's GREAT
No nasty taste as found by some of the heads i had used
Bags of vaper
Easy to rebuild

Can't complain for £11 haha
