I really do want glass, as I like my plastic-cracking flavors, so I am thinking this would work?

That would be great. It will be wider than your ego battery but not by too much.

I believe you would need a drip tip as the refilling drip tip isn't for actual vaping.

You can buy one at IBT for around three or so dollars.

Here is a video on filling the carto/tank combo.

Cartos can be 1, 2 or 3 holes. The ones with two have been working well for me.

The kit comes with a pre-punched one hole carto. That does not make it bad and it will let you try the unit. If you need more holes, you can buy different cartos in the future.

PS -
Does your twist have a 510 connection point???? Because those cartridges would be 510, I believe.

Had the drip tip in my cart already, lol.

Yes ego twist are both ego threaded and 501 treaded, so it'll work.

I am getting the kit so I have everything I need. Like you said, I can figure out the cartos later, after I have tried it.

Thank you for the help and the video. :)

I emailed IBTanked just to confirm the threading on that, and it is 510. :)

The vivi nova's are essentially oversized clearomizers. If you enjoy using clearomizers, and need more juice capacity, more durability, and want something rebuildable ( replaceable heads) you will likely enjoy a vivi nova "tank".

I greatly prefer cartotanks. I had 4 vivi novas and have given them all away to new vapors as I did not care for their flavor production. I have a theory on why this is so, but I won't get into that here.

Below are some links to smaller cartotanks that would look nice on an eGo battery:

Boge F-17 skinny tank -2.jpg Boge F17 tank

Boge F17 "skinny tank" from Vapor Beast - uses a Smoktech tank replacement carto. Looks to be made of polycarbonate so the tube could crack or melt with certain flavors. $ 8.00 http://www.vaporbeast.com/product_p/c47.htm?Click=391
__

(No pic, but looks to be the same as the polypro DCT tank from MVS)

SCT-v2 tank from Vapor Phoenix - uses a typical Smoktech tank replacement cartomizer, 3.5 ml capacity. Polypropylene tube safe for all flavors of juice without cracking. Available in a frost clear and frosted colors. Appears to be the same tank as the one below from MVS, but only comes with one carto. This seems like a great deal for $6.00. 510 SCT-V2 3.5ml Tank

Replacement 2.6-2.8 ohm single coil cartos with laser-slotted hole for any 45mm length cartotank. $2.00 each (cheaper if you buy 10 or more). Replacement Cartomizers 2.6-2.8ohm 510 SCT-V2

The below Safe Vaping Power Chart will show that a 2.5-3.0 ohm cartomizer will provide the widest range of voltages for a variable voltage eGo Twist or Spinner.

As always, lots of good, easy to understand for newbies info. Thank you. The decision was IBTanked cuz I'm not in the mood to crack tanks with my cinnamon and citrus. :)

If you don't have one of the below eGo cone cover/sleeves already, I recommend find one. It will cosmetically hide the connection gap between the tank and battery, and offers some additional support to the slightly larger tank. Sorry, don't have a link. Ocelot knows where to get black ones, as the second pick of the IBTanked is hers.
