I've been looking to replace my battery I lost last week, but I figured that since I was already going to have to buy something I might as well get something better than the one I lost. I had a Vision Spinner 1300, which I absolutely adored. I DID have an issue with it ... that it sometimes felt like the voltage wasnt enough to satisfy my cravings. So I started doing research on a battery that was "the next step up" for me, which seems to be the VV 3.0-6.0 batteries. I *thought* the Go-Go was 3-6VV, but then read that it only goes to 4.-something. So I found the KGO VV and the EGO-V and was torn, so I searched for info on the differences between them. Well I'm a little confused because I've read several threads on which one is better between them or which battery in the same levels is the best. People have claimed that "X" is better than "Y", or that "X" is the SAME THING as "Y". :blink: So then I tried to lookup the differences on my own. According to my readings, there are only very small differences ... but, doesnt that make them NOT the same?? I just want to ORDER already! Was hoping to have that done by now but I just keep reading and reading and never finding the answers I need. IS there a difference? If so, WHAT is the difference? Do you think those differences matter? Or which one do you think is superior? Maybe u hate them BOTH and have a similar reccomendation in mind?


Part 2~ Clearos, cartos, and atomizers
_________________________________

Since I've been trying to figure out why my TH isnt as good, I read some threads that explained that voltages may not be the answer I am looking for. I already heard that different clearos can work better than others for different models, and that cartos/atomizers can work better than clearos, etc. What I did NOT know ... was that these ohms ratings on them can possibly ruin my entire setup if I dont get ones that are compatible with my setup. How do I know or where can I learn the formula for figuring which is going to work best for your setup?

Perhaps you could also tell me what YOU prefer to go with the KGO/EGO-V? I read anything above 2.0 but that doesnt tell me much of anything really. My man uses the Twist & Spinner, he seems to prefer the Kanger T3s OR the Evods for them, and I definitely prefer the Evods on those.


I really need to order this today, so I appreciate any help I can get :)

If you want to use more watts with a vv get a Vamo.

Voltage is only one part of the equation the ohms of your carto is another part.
Lower ohms sends more power to the coil giving you more vapor, hit and flavor at the same voltage. You will also need an IMR battery to provide the amount of amps you need.
The electronics of the battery also has to be robust enough to allow the amount power you want. Usually measured in amps. I'm sure others will expand on this but those are the basics you need to consider in buying a battery and carto.

No properly functioning 1.8 ~ 3 ohm delivery device will harm a standard or vv/vw battery.

When you felt the voltage wasn't enough while using your spinner did you turn it up?
What ohm delivery devices are/were you using?

TH is a combination of nic mg%, pg/vg ratio, flavor and power used to vaporize the liquid.

Well initially when getting my first setup, I asked a ton of questions abt everything involved and everyone pointed me to sticking around 2.0 ohm clearos (Im assuming 1.8 & 2.2 qualify as being around 2.0) they said this is because its easier to pull and u get a bigger TH. I wondered if that was the case then why wouldnt EVERYONE use them? So I guess I always thought ohms had to do with how much or little u have to pull to take a hit. But it was definitely on this forum that I read a thread abt the clearo being the wrong ohms for whatever battery they were talking abt, that it would short circuit or ... something like that. I could probably find the thread if I dug around my history.

So when buying my Spinner + clearos I opted to get clearos "around" 2.0. Some of them were exactly that, some were a little over and some a little under. Unfortunately for me, I cant recall which clearo I was using at the time, and now I'm staring at abt 8 of them ... and I couldnt tell u what ohms any of them are. Totally forgot! Its hard to keep track of all the various names and ohms of each of these guys because all of them are so very different from one another. I was just trying out everything I could try since I wanted to find out what I liked.

Usually the juice vendors advise a 50/50 PG/VG mix, so Ive probably had more of that than anything else. Other than that, I was told that if u wanted a better TH to go more on the PG side, and that VG base can clog your stuffs. I have never ordered anything predominantly VG because of that. I havent really found a flavor I really like, but I have noticed different vendors produce different amounts of vapor. I have a high nic content, if they offer 36 I take it, otherwise I order the highest, unless its lower than 18. When u say the power can effect the TH, what do u mean by that? The wattage? Voltage?

Yes, when I was vaping I tried turning it to every level to test which I liked best. Though the highest it goes can be really nice, I find myself wishing it would give MORE. More of what, I'm not sure I know. I'm fairly certain, though, that getting another VV that goes all the way to 6 cant be a BAD move, since it would have everything the Spinner has plus more.

RE:Traver~ I wish! I cant afford one of them, the Kgo or Ego-V are both around $30 for 1300mah. I cant find a Vamo for less than around $60. Thats DOUBLE. I can barely afford the $30, in fact, I had to clear a $30 purchase with my husband because we're so tight with me being unemployed. :closedeyes:

So ... no one can tell me if the KGO VV & EGO-V are the same or if either is better?

Yes 2.0 ohms for the Ego twist is about right. You may be able to down to 1.8 ohms. It's good to have bit of leeway because the ohm level is not 100% accurate on cartomizers.
I think the amp limit on a twist is 2.5 amps. Using 2.0 ohms at 4.8 volts give you 2.4 amps.

You should also be aware that as you use the twist the battery voltage will go down and the voltage the twist delivers to the coil will also drop.

If you do use it over the rated amp limit it not going to imidialty blow up but with enough abuse there is chance of evenly ruining the electronics.
