It's not joyetech, there has been 10 or more models of variable voltage Egos well before the twist was even out. I've seen at least 2 pass-throughs in the past, one cycled through 3 voltages with a coloured ring and the other did the same with an LED battery level display. This looks like a true variable voltage and not "mutli-voltage" and says it does increments of 0.1 v, plus up to 6 volts. I assume the LED displays the voltage and/or battery level.

It's going to be next to impossible to find any information about this with such a generic name, unless you get lucky and someone here has one. You could e-mail vaporgeek and ask what she thinks of it or who makes it.

Personally I'd stay away, despite the pluses; higher voltage (which is kind of pointless IMO) and pass-through. A lot of these models had tons of little bugs and low production quality.

I'm liking that design.
The two things I don't like about the Twist are the tiny voltage numbers and the eGo connection for the charger. This seems to address both.
The eGo chargers are cheap but I already have USB cables all over the place. No need to carry a special charger just for my eGos.

Yea those numbers should have been put on the "Black" part of the battery where the dot is and the dot on the twist part.

We should buy lots of these and support those poor line workers. Have they never heard of Lumbar support? workline.jpg

There have been exactly ZERO true VV devices before the Twist.

Yeah, pretty much this. The other so-called "variable voltage" devices were strictly step-down devices that topped out at about 4.2V (and then only on a full charge) and only allowed 3.3, 3.7 or 4.2v options, but because it's step-down the 4.2v faded pretty quickly. The Twist was the first real buck/boost+PWM variable voltage device in an eGo form factor. The eGo-V will be #2.
