I guess what is confusing me is with a VV battery you can crank the juice so get the same effect from a 1.8 or a 2.5, so what's the difference in this scenario? I understand with a fixed output battery but not so much with the variable.
Another newb looking for setup help

I posted the proper ohms but it was with other info. Because the Twist can be fired from 3.2- 4.8 volts you want an ohms that is "middle of the road". Most vapers like to use around 4- 4.5 volts so the 2.4 ohms area is prolly the most popular. Put your ohms device on the battery and begin at low voltage. Slowly turn the voltage up until you find your "sweet spot". You'll find some juices really shine at higher voltage while others are better at a lower voltage. The right juice is usually juice is usually tough to find. I always suggest samples...
Best to buy samples to find your likes and dislikes. When I first began vaping I bought 30 wide ranging samples. Out of those 30 I liked 10. Immediately ordered another 20 and out of those I liked 10…so out 50 different flavors I enjoyed 20. Months later I tried those 30 samples that I disliked and enjoyed all but one. Whether it was because my tastes had changed or they needed steeping I don’t know. Realize also "same name" juices will vary greatly in taste from vendor to vendor as they all have diff recipes and order ingredients from diff Suppliers.
At the time if I had bought 30 ml bottles of juice the total cost would've been about $1000.00. As it was the samples cost me about $150.00. Within 1 month I began to DIY my juices.
That's also why buying an atty for testing new juices is suggested. If the juices tastes yucky it's a PITA to clean a tank out.
With a 1.8 ohms delivery device it's good from 3.2 volts to 4 volts- higher and it usually gets harsh.
2.4 ohms is good from 4- 4.8 volts- lower than 4 volts and the vape becomes weaker.
Realize though with my Spinners (same as Twist) I use 1.8 ohms at 4.2- 4.3 volts cuz I enjoy a very warm vape.
I have actually been selling my DIY juices - buyers get cheap juice, i get feedbacks on my recipes and a little cash. Win win. And with thr cash i go buy my favorite juices that i cant make myself

Around holidays they practically give the stuff away. If I wasn't doing DIY I'd be checking it every couple of days.

And seeing as you asked about juice here's my final post/ info:
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH/ throat hit and lung hit- water like - many of us believe PG to be a throat irritant.
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.
Nicotine levels are 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 mg. Most new vapers begin at 18 or 24 mg.
Vaping and Dehydration
PG and VG are humectants...
A humectant is a substance used primarily in foods and cosmetic products to help retain moisture. These substances are called hygroscopic, which means that they are able to absorb ambient water. These hygroscopic compounds posses a chemical structure that attracts water from the atmosphere and binds it to various sites along the molecule.
When we inhale PG/ VG it "traps" the moisture in our mouth, throat and nasal area and thus the vapor. The real problem arises when the body is dehydrated and begins "stealing" moisture from other parts of the body to keep key organs hydrated. Add to that more than 3 cups of java or caffeine based soda drinks and severe dehydration can occur.
I had a convert that didn't believe vaping was dehydrating. I showed him his fingernails- there were vertical rails on them. Told him this was a sign of serious dehydration. He began drinking water/ hydrating and within a couple of months his fingernails returned to normal...he's now a believer. Ask any chemist and they will tell you the same. I drink 2+ liters of water per day and no more than 3 cups Java per day.

Here's a Volts to Ohms Chart to give you a "general" idea of their relationship and settings:

From mt baker vapor I do the 65 pg 35 vg sometimes I add extra flavour. That pg vg ratio is my fav. The 80 20 pg to me was thin and hurt my throat. 50-50 pg vg was to thick. But please remember that taste is very subjective and I think ratio is very subjective. Have a wonderful day.

You're right. It makes less of a difference with a VV battery. Especially if your amperage is limited. Glad you are going with the EVOD recommendation. BCC is awesome and the setup you are looking at is no frills simple. Good luck!
Well placed my order:
2x 650mah Twists
2x EVOD's (gotta have a spare)
5x 1.8ohm EVOD replacement heads
2x 306 atomizer
USB charger
For liquid I ordered 4 15ml bottles from mtbakervapor, two of each menthol with one 08/20 and 65/35 each.
Here's to hoping it was money well spent.
