EgoC Twist VV battery

[misterGREG]

Prior to today I was swapping between a 510-T and a DSE eGo kit, and both were pretty good, although the 510-T can leak sometimes. I got my Twist today at an ECF meet here locally, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I quickly learned to be careful of the voltage setting though, my first tape on the twist tasted kind of burnt. Now that I know what I'm doing though, I love it!

Yes, thank you for a very thorough explanation! So, do I need to worry about using smoktech DC 1.5 ohm cartos above 4v on the twist? I was browsing another thread and it sounded as if some ppl were reluctant to use LR on a higher voltage.

The reason the are reluctant to use LR on high voltage could be to the current limit of the device and It wouldn't allow you to use the whole voltage range. Also with LR one would experience greater wattage difference per click (voltage increases .02 per twist), ex; 1.5 ohm attachment at 3.2 volts = 6.82 watts, 3.4 = 7.7, 3.6volts = 8.64watts a difference of .9 watts per click with a 3 ohm attachment at 3.2 volts = 3.41watts, 3.4 volts = 3.85watts, 3.6 volts = 4.32 watts a difference of +/- .47 watts per click. The adjustments will allow a finer fine tuning of your vapor with a higher resistance vs a lower resistance attachment. I own a Provari v2 which has an current resistance of 3.5 amps and wattage limiter of 14 watts (for safety) to prevent you from causing harm to the electronics or battery. I used LR (1.5ohm) cartomizers at first with my provari as I had some left over that I wanted to use up. I never had a problem with them, granted I used them at 4.2 volts max cause beyond that was too much for my preference, but I was able to take it to like 4.6volts before I would run into the safety systems that Provari built in (BTW at 4.6 volts that was giving about 14.1 watts and 3.06 amps). As far as the ego c twist is concerned I believe the built in safety feature will just knock the voltage down to 3.7 volts if you were to exceed it's capabilities. I hope this helps.

Yes it does, thank you! Just got my twist today and am about to try it for the first time. I'm stoked! This will be my first experience with vv, so I can't wait to try and dial in on some of these flavors I've got.

Congrats and enjoy your new device.

Thanks for all the input. Today I tried a smoktek 3 ohm carto in a Smoove tank on the EgoC Twist and at max 4.8 Volts and got zilch - no vapor, no taste. Then I switch to a 1.5 Ohm Smoktek carto at 3.8 volts and wow, what a difference. Great vapor, taste, and a warm hit.I'm not sure if I should even try to push this to a higher voltage. If I do and something fails, will it be the carto or my twist?

Flyer, I've had my Twist for about a week now and have done some reading on ECF about them. On another thread that I can't find right now, someone said they think the Twist has a maximum amp output of about 2.5. A SR atomizer (about 2.2 ohms) at 4.8 V will draw about 2.2 amps, so if the 2.5 A limit is correct, there is a bit to spare here. Running a LR atomizer (about 1.8 ohms) will draw about 2.5 amps at 4.5 V, but there are 0.2 V increments and some LR atomizers are a little lower than 1.8 ohms, so realistically, 4.2 V is probably a safe bet as a maximum with LR.

I have used a LR atomizer, metered at 1.7 ohms and I did crank up the voltage to max on the Twist. Nothing bad happened to the battery, so it must be smart enough to limit its output. I did not use the LR atty again after trying it that once, but it's nice to know that if I ever make a mistake and connect a LR atty, it will not hurt me.

Thanks Bigsmke! Unfortunately, I have already broken my twist battery, but not from the voltage setting. In fact, I accidently sat on it and broke the battery connection off of the battery. I wasnt really that happy with it anyway, so I replaced it already with a lavatube which is more of what I was looking for to begin with.
