Ok guys, I have the ego t with ego stardust clearomizer with 650mah ego t batt, I want to ugrade to the ego twist 1000mah batt and keep the same set up. What's the advantages and disadvantages to having a variable voltage batt? Would I need to find a tank that has optional resistances? Such as the vivi nova? And where could I get the cheapest 1000mah ego twist batt at? Thanks for the help in advance.

I love the Ego twist. Sleek battle with vv! The cheapest I have found is Mike USA. Fast shipping. I also have the Vivid Nova. Didn't think I would like it , as I have not liked any of the other cartoon tanks but have to say the Ego twist and Vivid Nova rock.

Ha ha ha. My computer was trying to help me spell! Please don't get the sleek battle, rather get the sleek battery! Oh and cartoon tanks don't work well unless you are buggs bunny! Vivi Nova is much better than the vivid one!

If you are keeping your current setup then there maybe no advantage to the twist battery . A 650mah twist is about as long as a 1000mah battery . A 1000mah twist is longer than a 1000mah ego passthrough battery which in it's self is longer than the ego 1000mah battery . The 1000mah twist is about 3/4 of an inch longer than the ego 1000mah battery . That being said using VV will drain the battery a bit faster . If you are prepared for the extra length and want VV and are going to carry at least one spare which you should do anyway as a backup then I would say by all means get yourself an ego twist . Don't burn your cartos/atomizers out in the first while getting use to it and you will be fine .

I would definitely suggest getting the 650mah twist battery. I have the 1000mah and it's way too long for my liking. myvaporstore.com has great prices on the batteries and electronicstix.com has the eGo vision clearomizers that use the same screw on heads as the vivi nova. So all you would have to do is replace the head instead of buying a whole cartomizer and the heads come in different resistances.

The twist really wouldn't be necessary if you don't have a good mixture of cartos / attys with different resistances. I would recommend the eGo C upgrade passthrough because you can disable the regulation making it a 4.2v~3.3v battery instead of a constant 3.4v

I got a chance to play with an ego-c twist today, and i gotta say, while i think its great, and really cool... The thing was as long as my full sized provari with 18650 extension. Rock that baby with pride fellow vapors, but dont look at my pro like its too big XD

Hahaha! Good point. (But that's why I ordered the 650mah, not the 1000...)

The 1000 mah is very long. Add a Phoenix XL and a drip tip, and I feel like I should be shooting pool with it. I really like this battery, though. It's slimmer, and even a little shorter, than my iPro, and I had forgotten how good that rubbery coating feels in the hand. As for the advantage of having a VV device, I've somehow ended up with three of them and I still can't really answer that question. I find that I pretty much stay around 4 volts, mostly because I can't get out of the habit of buying low resistance cartos and attys. Under these circumstances, I probably would have been just as satisfied with the upgraded eGo C, as BGabe mentioned. Having said that, the VV is still kind of a nice thing to have, especially at this price point. If my usual low res cartos are out of stock, or the 3 ohm is on sale, I can be flexible. What I will do next time, though, is get the 650 mah. Judging by the vape time I'm getting on the 1000 (more than a day of moderately heavy vaping), I think the more portable 650 would easily get me through a day trip or a night out.

IMO, the 900mAh is the one to get IF you absolutely need the time before recharge. In the regular batts, the 900 still maintains some balance on length wrt whatever atty/carto you're using, and the extra length of the 1000 doesn't, imo, justify the extra hour. Same with the Twist. If you need that extra time, get the 900 or 2 - 650's.
 
vapors-choice.com seems to have the best prices I've found thus far - it's $19 for a 650 mAh Twist & $22 for the 1000 mAh. Wish I'd noticed it before I just placed an order w/altsmoke, but since I used the coupon code, I didn't pay much more anyway. haha.

The length of the 1000 doesn't bother me; it's only a smidgen longer than my 1000 mAh passthru battery. Now my old 650 batt seems puny! *lol*

nice find^ altsmoke was the best price i had seen so far, until now.

one question i have for Twist users: how long is the drag cutoff? i saw reports of it being 4 seconds, with a 5 second cutoff between drags. this is unacceptable to me. however, i just saw something this morning that said it was a 10 second cutoff. This i can handle. so please tell me: how long of a cutoff does your twist have??

thanks :)

They don't accept credit cards though. Dwolla, Paypal, Money order. Was gonna buy a couple twists but quit using Paypal after too many problems.

It's at least a 10 second cutoff and I've never run into an issue with it. Also, there is no delay between drags because from time to time I'm double-pressing the button (press, accidentally release, press again) without any issues.

Or just use the altsmoke coupon code FIRSTORDER. It works for 10% off so it comes out to +/-$1 more than VC depending on which size twist.
