My :2c: Try another delivery device first. I have had similar issues with the ViVi Nova's as well. They are good, but I think there may be better. Try the Kanger t3 or the EVOD, Kanger Pro tank also seems good. I am still on the fence about getting that one. Unfortunately the last order I made the place I was shopping at was out. :(

If you want to buy a bigger/better system look around a bit and don't rush into it. I bought the Vamo myself (hopefully it will show up tomorrow or the next day) for me it was at a price point I liked and the features were about the best. I wanted to try VV/VW and I wanted the replaceable battery for the device. I was not overly concerned about the size, I wanted it for home use. With the vamo it uses either flat or nipple top batteries. Get the best you can that is in stock. I also like the option to drop in battery size for when I did want to take it out and about. The main reason I bought the vamo was for the VV/VW I like my vape a little wamer than I could get with Nova's on the KGO. It is pretty good with the 1.8 ohm, but with the VV/VW option I can adjust that no matter what the resistance of the head is and possibly make it better.

I will add this it is cheaper to try 1 or 2 new delivery system than to go and buy another entire system. I would try this first. Using the Nova's I usually swirl it around and make sure the wicks get submersed and a chance to pick more fluid, this has helped me a lot.

I love my Sigelei zmax it takes all 510 and ego delivery systems, has VW so you don't have to mess around with volts and with a good 18650 battery it lasts all day and then some. It is a little heavy but solid and with the protank you are sure to love it. Hits like a champ all day long with me heavy chain-vaping it.

I looked at all of your choices listed, and ended up going with an evic. I liked the fact that it has VV/VW, has both 510 and ego threads, and I have no kangers to have a problem with connections. I'm also a bit of a tech geek so the cool screen with the battery meter, ohms, volts, amps, and clock was too hard to pass up.

If money is a hanging point (and when isn't it?), I would definately suggest starting with a new tank/clearo. When I switch between the ones I have, I get a different experience (even on the same device).

I have all sorts of devices and suggest you stick with your twist. The Vamo is great, but it's a big beast (in 18650). Mini Provari is wonderful....but is cost an issue?

If you are having vaping issues, maybe it's not the battery that's the problem. I received my Protank two days ago and to be honest it doesn't vape as well as an EVOD. I love all this stuff (Lavatubes, Zmax) but there's only so far you can go....

Absolutely. I vaped some gourmet liquid today on a rebuildable dripping atomiser which tasted 2x as good as in a vivi nova. Protank is also not the most flavoursome.....

Thanks for all the advice! Will make a decision today.
Regarding delivery -
I had horrible luck with many kanger T3s, CE4s and vision mini. I have a Pro Tank on the way and will order some iclear 30s. Will also try the EVoDs. Eventually I'll try to figure out the cartomizer stuff - sizes and punching holes and stuff. Seems like a pain.

Good luck. Everyone is different but my experience with both T3s and CE4s is nothing better than 100% failure. The T3s leaked and the CE4s lasted a very short time before I got a bad taste. I never got one back to health dry-burning the coil.

You might like the Protank, it's a smart bit of kit, but I still haven't fixed the airy draw on it. I'm considering the new SS Mesh clearomiser just launched here in the UK. They are calling it CE8 SS.
