Battery step up from eGos?

[Visus]

When I said the "switch", most everyone knows it means the "switch regulator".

And no disrespect intended, but I just don't believe your results or else you have something that is not a Twist. There have easily been a 100+ posts where the Twist won't even handle a 1.5 ohm dual coil atty or carto. From me and my friend experimenting with his Twist, we've confirmed the same result that it will not handle 1.8 ohm or lower DCC's or LR's below 1.6 ohm. The Twist just does not compare in performance to a Provari, Zmax, eVic or Vamo.

Thanks Katya and Wv2win,
Ohm's law in effect mode and true,

low c discharge rate is its limitation and on a single @1.2ohm coil its badarse. The low c on the twist on a dual is a nono for smokey vapor lovers anyway but whoa huge flavor just not much vapor.. again ohms law goes into effect here..

sorry to hijack your thread but get the provari or vamo etc. they both are confirmed as pretty awesome.
the twist is a great amateur vaping device and many have no idea that it is and will say what they have read from others who have no idea.

I vape @20watts on a passthru and the twist is as I said, badarse lol..

Before you give up on the ego batteries, have you tried gently lifting the contact on the battery? Turn it off, and very gently "pry" up around the edges of the little round contact disc you see when you look into the end of it, you are just trying to lift the contact a little. I use a tiny little eyeglasses screwdriver and nudge it up just a tiny bit.

I would say I have to do this about every 3 or 4 times I charge them. It goes from "nothing" to "normal" as easy as that. I think this will solve your problem with the 3 that don't work.

That said...I do love my Vamo

THANK YOU!!!..... LOL. I've been sitting here reading through the entire thread thinking "did they try pulling the center post?" I've been using ego batteries for most of the time I've been vaping and the center pin getting pushed down too far is the most common cause of "failure to fire" as far as I know. I got an eVic not too long ago after deliberating between it, the Lavatube V2, the Vamo and the Provari. While I love the extra features, I still use my 1000mAh twists on a daily basis. My "sweet spot" is in the 7-8.5W range so the amp limit isn't an issue (especially if you work out the numbers before you buy a new atty, carto, clearo, etc.).

How do you like your eVic?

Huh? I'm comparing the same device, eGo batteries with a Vivi Nova top. What's the different device?
I liked 2.4Ω Vivi heads over 1.8Ω Vivi heads, both on the exact same battery, exact same setting. The only "different device" could be an eGo-C top which I also liked the 2.4Ω atty and never saw a reason to go to 1.8Ω even though attempts are constantly made around here to dictate that LR is a "better vape".

Actually I like it because I get better flavor, not a smaller vape. I started at 5w, went up and went down. One tasted better at 3.5w, one at 4w and one at 5w.
Burnt may be more flavor but burnt does not mean better.
As I said above it's another matter of preference. It doesn't matter how unique I am in my preference, it's still a matter of preference. I don't know why LR/HW fans can't admit that.

When it was a Twist and I said I liked it at lower volts all I heard was that it was because of the Twist's limitations. Now with the Vamo I still like it at 3-5w. What next, I need a Provari to really taste the bestest goodnocity of LR?
I will say the Vamo can go higher before tasting obnoxiously burnt so I would say anyone who likes higher wattages should get a Vamo/Provari/etc. But for a better vape that is still lower for me.

As far as vapor production goes, I see more out of Vivi Nova than eGo-C but not a huge difference between 3w and 10w. But then I vape PG free so I get plenty of vapor even when trying not to.

I misread your post thought you were saying you prefer your nova at 2.4ohm over an ego c.

None of my juice tastes burnt at 1.8ohm, i can crank my evod to 10 watts on my evic and i dont get burn. Flavor doesnt really change either, i just get more of it, and more vapor. Ive honestly never used a vivi, but if your 1.8ohm is burning then its either too much power, or not wicking fast enough for that amount of wattage

Could be failure to wick, or it could be ... I like the flavor better at lower temperatures.
Everyone has different tastes.
Why is this such a hard concept for some people around here?
Did we all smoke the same brand and style of cigarettes?

I did say the Vamo doesn't have the obnoxious burnt taste which would indicate it's a heat issue and not a burning issue.
I couldn't stand JC Island. With a Twist I was able to adjust the volts until it muted the coconut and brought out the pineapple so I almost liked it. Some reviewers said it didn't have enough coconut which is the only reason I tried something with coconut in it.
Maybe you don't taste differences like that and as high as you can go is better FOR YOU.
Or quite possibly, you are missing the burn from tobacco and seek a little burnt flavor making higher better FOR YOU.

Everything wattage effects comes down to personal preference. High watts and LR is not better for everyone.
