Right now I have an ego t with a clearomizer...I want to step up (just a little) I want something with just a little bit more power....I like what I have as far as the size and feel...it just gives zero options for stepping up the power. I have watched a bunch of youtube videos and have seen all sorts of devices but when they speak of mods and such, I have NO idea what they are talking about. I have learned quite a bit in the month I have been vaping AND analog free :) most of my knowledge came from reading on here, but there is so much information, my brain is fried...any recommendations on what device would be a step up from the ego t? Thanks :)

If you like the overall feel of the ego, I would try an Ego Twist. You turn the base to get up to 4.8V. I have two and love them. They run around $30 or less. A variant of the Twist is the Vision Spinner, which also goes to 4.8V, and the numbers are a bit easier to read on the base...also easier to turn the base. Mine is 1300 mAh. My Twists are 1100 mAh, so both are at least twice the capacity (time) of the Ego-T. Both will take Ego-T tanks or any other 510-type carto/tank/atty.

I agree with Kurt here, but just wanted to add something. The eGo Twists are significantly longer than a standard eGo battery. In comparison, I own a 650mAh Twist, and it's the same length as my 1100mAh eGo-T battery was. My Twist is 3 7/8 inches long, my 650mAh eGo-T battery is 2 7/8 inches long.

Also, the non-twist-eGo models are regulated to 3.2v. If you wanted something a bit more solid/flashy than the Twist, you could look into a standard 3.7v mod. There are tons of them around, but they carry a bit higher pricetag. Typically (not always) when you see the term 'mod' it's referring to something that holds a battery, has a button/switch, and a connector. Batteries on them are replacable, and typically fairly affordable.

Then they come in two flavors: Fixed voltage, and Variable Voltage (And Variable Wattage, but that's fairly new). Fixed voltage means that if you buy a 3.7v device, you're vaping at 3.7v with that device, and there's not an easy way to change that. Variable Voltage lets you play with the power that you're outputting. Typically you'll find fixed voltage is 3.7v, 5v, and 6v. (There are other configurations to get different set voltages) Changing them generally requires changing types of batteries and using different types of batteries in your mod. Variable Voltage uses a booster circuit to change the voltage when you turn a dial, press a button, twist a knob, it's fairly easy to handle.

Though again: I do think that the Twist is an excellent device for stepping up from a standard eGo, it gives you a new knob to play with without overwhelming you with extra things. Your old eGo charger will even work on it.
