No, you can't argue with ohms law. The illustration had nothing to do with the Twist or the LT. It was an example of the disadvantage of trying to simulate high voltage vaping by using a low resistance load. Regardless of what circuits they use or don't use, all else being equal, low voltage/low resistance draws more current than high voltage/high resistance to achieve the same power.

Sorry, Ctor doesn't argue with the Omhs law, he relies on it. You do. When some voltage transformer increases the voltage the current in the primary circuit will be proportionally higher than the one in the secondary circuit. To illustrate this let's do some imaginary experiment. Assume VV can produce not 4V but 400v. Atomizer resistance is 200 Ohm. The current in the atomizer will be 2A, wattage is 800 watt, this is approximately like coffe maker consumes. What you say is the current in the battery will be the very same 2A, so 1000Mah battery will last half an hour. You in fact say that one 1000 mAh battery can boil half gallon of water for half an hour. Make output voltage 40000 V and it can drive a car for half an hour? Sorry, laws of physics. perpetuum mobile is impossible. So with the same wattage, high voltage PV will drain battery as fast in theory as low voltage PV. In practice even faster, as some energy will be lost in the transformer itself.

I would suggest the Twist. With a few exceptions, almost everybody that has bought one raves about them.

One reason I’m pointing you in that direction is that in your OP you cited form factor and that harsher vapes irritate your throat. I think that since harsher vapes cause you discomfort (I’ve got problems in that regard too) then I seriously doubt you’d approach the upper limits that the Twist provides and don’t need the extra voltage that you can get from a Lava Tube or another Mod.

As far as form factor goes, the 650mah Twist is the largest device that is comfortable for me to stick in my jeans front pocket to tote around. I have absolutely no desire to go bigger or bulkier to get essentially the same vape I’d get with a Twist. If I wanted a blast furnace and needed that extra oomph that a mod or lava tube is capable of providing, that would be a different story. But hot vapor and massive throat hit irritates my throat, so I tend to dial it in for a cooler vape (while still getting plenty of vapor and flavor).

I’m not bashing the Lava Tube or similar devices, some people love them and they are a quality unit, but they just aren’t for me, and from reading your post they may not be for you either.

Take some time and read up on the various choices. I’d also suggest finding some object of similar size to tote around to see if the form factor is comfortable to you. Bigger is not better if you end up leaving it at home.

On another topic, you may also want to check out different PG vs VG levels and reduce the PG if the vapor irritates your throat. Some people are sensitive to PG and you may find that a juice with less PG may let you increase the nic level.
