(a) According to the $t_3-M_{\rm WD}$ relation (Livio 1992).
(b) According to log $\Delta M_{\rm ej} = 0.274\times \log t_2 - 4.355$ (Della Valle et al. 2002).
(c) Usually derived for the H$\alpha$ line. For V382 Vel, lacking an estimate based on H$\alpha$, we used the number given for UV lines and divide by a factor 2 (Shore 2002).

(d) Determined here from the VSNET light curves.
(g) Instead of the prediction we used the value as measured by Della Valle et al. (2002).
