No probs Snickerfritz. One of those Efests will last (a) a long time between charges (b) many months before you have to replace it. Which is nice.

Can someone put up some links to good deals on Vamo? I'm not finding this $25 to $30 dollar range I'm hearing. I'm on a pretty limited budget. $30 I could almost swing. $40 to $60 would be out of my range.

Go here - http://www.fasttech.com/ - and have a look around. It'll take some time to arrive but will be worth it if you're on a tight budget imho. Also look at the Vamo V3 - latest version but looks a bit weird to western eyes. Screen is better by all accounts.
The ego twist is not limited, its a badarse ego in the ego style bunch..
while not as cute the ego-v they both put out some serious vaping horsepower.
If you research you find that its basically a provari without the bells and whistles

You can pickup the Vamo itself for $30 at Fasttech, but you will still need batteries and a charger, pushing the total up closer to $50.

Thanks, I might be able to find a workable deal in there. I'm going to save up while I make this one battery last as long as I can. Thanks again.
I'm in the opposite situation, sort of, but the advice is handy - I'm thinking VAMO myself. I started figuring I'd carry a couple 510's around while working (I'm driving and meeting clients, etc, all day) - and I still do that. It's handy - PV in a suit pocket, couple of cartos in the car, and I'm good. But then I got Egos and trying different clearos.
Trouble is, I've got over a dozen batteries, and not one has shown any sign of failing yet.
I. Will. Wait.
Stop. Buying. Gadgets.
(I do have juice orders en route from 6 different vendors though)

I got my Vamo and I like it a lot. For all those pushing high watts I was right in figuring I wanted low, if the charts are right I like it right around the same voltage as eGos. But I will give it this for those that do want high watts, my twist would burn at over 4.2v, I had the Vamo up to 10W and it didn't taste burnt at all using the same head and liquid as I had just taken off my Twist.
But everyone doesn't want a huge mod hanging from their face.
I will continue to buy, use and recommend eGo size as the minimum anyone should go.
Good advice. Not everyone wants a big mod - but for those that do I think that the Vamo really hacks it!
I have to agree with "The Ocelot" on the JoyeTech batteries. I've had a couple of other ego-type knock offs and my original 3 JoyeTechs are still going strong after 2+ years. Yes, I have had some leaky tanks, clearos, and carts on them. Just clean them out with a q tip or piece of paper towel to soak it up. It took me over a year, but I was finally able to vape only and I see no reason to switch to something more expensive when I know the reliability and quality of JoyeTech eGos first hand.
I'm sorry, not even close, lol.
The Twist comes with an under-powered 2.5 amp switch which limits the atty/cartos, etc you can use on it. Models like the Zmax, Provari and Vamo to name three, have switches that are 3.5 - 5 amps allowing you to use almost any atty or carto on the market.
The Twist batteries cost $25+. The Zmax and Vamo batteries cost $11 and last 2 - 3 times longer (lifetime) than the Twist and provide 8 - 14 hours on a charge.
There is no comparison.
The 5 amp switch on the Vamo combined with the variable wattage (RMS) makes all the difference over the eGo Twist.
I own a Vamo, an eVic, and a ProVari. I still use my eGo twists regularly. I have had outstanding luck with them, with an average life of about 8 months for them. I have one that is still running strong after a year of use.
Here is a link for Genuine Joyetech Twists. They are the only VV batteries I ever buy. These appear to be the genuine article at 22.99.

If you are having trouble caring for your twists, I would re-examine your charging situation. That is the likely culprit to these failures.

Err, not quite...
First of all, you can adjust voltage on the ProVari by .1v increments--you can only guesstimate the adjustments on the Twists and Spinners. ProVari goes up to 6 volts (as opposed to 4.8v of the Twist) and has a 3 amp limit. Twists have a 2 amp limit, I believe--I'm not sure what the exact number is.
So no, a Twist is not a ProVari--but it's a great introduction to variable voltage and may be enough for most vapers who prefer to vape in the 4.5-9 watts range using single coil atomizers and/or like small batteries.
Oops--sorry WV--I didn't read your post before I replied...

The ProVari amp limit is 3.5
The twist amp limit is 2.5 (just like the eVic)
The Vamo amp limit is 5
Honestly, for a relatively new vapor, the amp limit is likely meaningless. I rarely hit my amp limit on my eVic. I never use the upper amp range on the Vamo. I have never needed to go higher than 3.5 amps.
EDIT: Like Katya said, the twist is not even in the same ballpark as a Provari. Not in any sense. Nor is it intended to be. The twist is a great introduction into VV vaping. It is small, simple, and light. The ProVari is none of those, and not a good choice for an early vaper. I went from Blus, to eGos, to lavatube, to Vamo, to eVic, to ProVari. You can skip some of those steps (not everyone is a Mod-monger like me) but it is a good progression, in my view.

Yes, for some reason I felt safe in assuming the OP was not using either of those options on their eGo twists.
