Attys/cartos for eGo-C Twist

[Stoneface]

Hello Kind Veterans - Okay, so I'm trying very hard to wrap my brain around the recommended resistance for atomizers and cartomizers for the eGo Twists. I have read many threads here on ECF and elsewhere on the internetz, and it seems that different sources recommend different things. I have read threads about calculating resistance and looked at the "handy" color-coded voltage/resistance charts, which seem to make sense until I read recommendations and warnings elsewhere. So I am now confused. I understand that 2.0-2.5 ohm resistance delivery systems are recommended for the eGo Twist, but there are Joye labeled 1.5 ohm low resistance atomizers on websites "recommended" for the eGo. I also purchased a 1.5 ohm low resistance atomizer for test-dripping juices. However, once I read a warning that 1.5 ohm anything can shorten the lifespan of the battery I quit using it. Additionally, I can't seem to understand why dual-coils are not recommended for the eGo even if they have the same resistance rating as a single coil. I have a foggy grasp that a dual coil is just that - 2 coils - that drain more energy from the battery, but I don't understand why the "same" resistance value has different effects on the battery. And just to make things worse, there are all of the numbers for attys - 510, 306, 808, 901. I know that I can use the 510 attys, but it seems that I might also be able to use the 306 attys as well (but I don't know for sure).

I would be grateful if someone could explain to me (like I'm a 3 year old) what I should actually know in order to not ruin my batteries and safely pursue a good vape. I would be most grateful if the explanation helped me learn it so that I can apply my new knowledge for when I purchase the inevitable mod (possibly a Reo!). Can you also give me the "3 year old" explanation for single coil vs dual coil so that I don't make some horrible mistake in the near or distant future? I am sure that a tank is not too far off on my horizon, and it would be great to know this before I buy. Finally, I would also like to know what the other numbers mean. I know that 510 refers to hardware threads, but if a 306 fits onto a 510 connection then what does the "306" refer to?

Many thanks in advance for your response(s). I realize that some or all of the answers to these questions may lie somewhere in this forum, but I don't seem to be able to find them explained in a way that my pea brain retains it.

Most lately, the low resistance attys for the eGo-c tank system are rated 1.7-1.8 ohms. Joye does make 1.5 ohm atomizers as well, but not part of the eGo-c system. And imo, the standard resistance attys for the eGo-c perform better - less burning and less leaks. The 1.5ohm atty will shorten, slightly, the overall lifetime of any battery because more power is used - however, they are still great for sampling ejuices and are worth, imo, the tradeoff.

There is some short prevention circuitry in the eGo-c batt and some aspects of the dual coil can strain that, but still many use the dual coil eGo cartos without a problem.

The 306 has the same threading as the 510, and can be used directly on an eGo. The 801,901 and KR8 and others have different threading and need an adapter to be able to fit the 510 connection of the eGo.

The ego twist can handle 1.5 - 2.5 ohm cartos/attys. I believe the lower the ohms, the lower the voltage, the longer your battery will last. Hmm I could be wrong about this according to Kent C. If you use a 2.5 ohm carto you'll lose the ability to use the vv feature because you'll probably have to set the voltage to max. 2.0 ohms would give you room to play with.

If you want to try something other than a 510 carto on your twist you just need to get an adapter. Say you want to try a 901 carto. You would need a 510 to 901 adapter.

If you buy a REO they use AW IMR 18350, 18490, or 18650 3.7v batteries depending on which model you get so you would want to use 1.5 to 2.0 ohm cartos for best results.

I don't use dual coils so I'll leave that for somebody else to answer.

I hope that answers some of your questions.

I agree with tmcase in that the lower the voltage set on the Twist - the longer it will last. My point was at the same voltage - a lower ohm rating (say 1.5) on the atty/carto will create more total power/wattage on the system, than a 2.0 or 2.5 ohm atty/carto.
