Finally ready to order! Need some last minute advice..........................................

[d.weglarz13]

Hey guys. OK, so after taking all your guys' advice, my decision comes down to two.
#1: Ego Twist, with the Mini vivi Nova tank, and some menthol juice.
#2: Halo G6 Batteries, with their mini tank, and some menthol juice.

So, as you can see I picked the Ego with the vv Nova(smaller 2.0 tank), because it is slimmer than the large tank, and I think I may be able to deal with the size like this.
And, of course the Halos, only because they are even slimmer, more like an analog. But, after holding an ego today at the store, it seems i may be able to go up only if the difference in performance is that amazing.
And, of course, as you can see I am trying to stay away from the odd shaped e cigs or tanks, like the larger vivi tank, as it definitely won't help me with getting off cigs. It has to, at the very least, be sharpie size diameter or smaller, and somewhat streamlined, more natural looking.
Also, it seemed that the Ego C3 that i tried with regular juice(he only had reg, not menthol filled in it), it seemed to give a much warmer hit than the Blu cigs that I am using now.
So, does the ego hit hotter in your throat than the smaller ones? I ask because since i smoke 2 packs of Newports a day, I am used to a nice refreshing COOL throat hit. But, i assume it could have been because the liquid was regular not menthol?

So, out of the two above, what would give me a nicer strong but cool TH, similar to the refreshing taste menthol that i smoke in my analogs, and the Blu cig menthol i use sometimes now seems pretty nice tasting and cool too. So, any advice before I pull the plug? I would rather get the answers before I actually make my purchase, so any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

And, i don't suppose the tips on the ego lights up? I kinda like how the halo cigs light up blue, but its not a deal breaker.
Thanks again guys, my brain is fried from all this reading about e cigs!!!

ps. Can i use any wall adapter for the USB charger? OR do i need to spend the extra money to buy an actual EGO charger AND adaptor for the wall outlet?
and where is best to buy these? It seems Altsmoke.com is out of the EGO charger.
Thanks

if you get the smaller vivi nova please post back to see how you like it ? I am considering that

For me it would be a no brainer, go for the Twist. I started witha cig-a-like and it was great for what it was, and it did get me off the ash factories, but having to carry two or three batteries just to make it through the work day was a pain. Not to mention with the variable volts on the twist you can dial it in to match your juice or delivery system and get a better vape. I have a couple of juices that taste burnt if I try to use them with my plain ego, so I only vape them on the Twist, or now my Vamo.

As far as warm/cool vape I find it mostly depends on the delivery system you choose, generally anything bottom coil will give a cooler vape than a top coil or carto, dialing back your volts can help with that too.

and lastly any USB adapter will work just fine, no need for a special high priced one just cause it has some companies logo on it.

 

[littlewing6283]

yeah I should have done more research before buying. I bought a kit starting out and knowing what I know now I could have saved some coin

I can only speak for the ego style with mini vivi. I LOVE THIS SET UP! I vape for almost two days on my vision spinner, and my mom has both the twist and the spinner and says they're pretty similar in TH, etc. I love how easy my vivi is to use and that I've had next to no problems with it (as in out of 10 heads I've ordered, I got one DOA)

 

[rbding]

try the protank a little extra cash but will thank yourself. i have the spinners haven't tried the twist but i love the spinners. had a fixed 3.7 battery before that

Get the twist and a genuine Vision Mini Vivi Nova. Don't get a clone. For a cooler vape try a Kanger T3/MT3. It is bottom coil and will vape cooler. I would suggest one of each and see what you like better.

 

[littlewing6283]

is there longevity differences between a top coil or bottom coil ?

 

[klynnn]

The vivi nova is so easy to rewick, I have been using mine for about 7 mos and just rebuild the heads.

 

[StevesCVO]

is there longevity differences between a top coil or bottom coil ?

Not really. Mostly depends on how much you vape and the darker juices gunk up the coil faster.

 

[t0od0pe4u]

Ego Twist is a great beginner setup. Can't go wrong with it.

 

[klynnn]

Here is a good video on the nova, it's fairly long and at the end shows how to rebuild. A PBusardo Tutorial - Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding - YouTube

 

[finanie]

I will also suggest the twist. I have one and love it. However, I would recommend the Kanger T3 instead of the nova. Or like another poster mention, try one of each. Mt. Baker Vapor is a good place to try various juices without spending too much money.

I can confirm that any USB adapter will work.

Good luck!

 

[d.weglarz13]

Okay, thanks! But, what about the ohms in the head? Any specific one i should get with the twist? I am only gonna get 2 batts, 1 mini tank, and probably one head for now to keep it cheap.

dave

what color LED tip does the ego light up?

 

[klynnn]

The most versatile head for the nova on a twist would be the 2.4ohm. Most nova kits come with 3 heads so you can try them all.

 

[Statistic]

The eGo tip does not light up but it's an outstanding starter unit. Get the eGo Twist, you won't be disappointed. As far as head resistance I'd recommend you try them all and see what you like. The higher the resistance the cooler it's gonna vape, which you have even more control over with the twists variable voltage capability.

One thing I wanted to say about the menthol juice. Some menthol juices are a pure 100% menthol which can be a bit overpowering if you are looking for a menthol+tobacco flavor while others actually are a menthol+tobacco flavor. So just make sure the juice is what you think it is.

As someone who has also smoked Newports I like to keep a pure menthol around (tastes like pure winter air) both for an occasional vape as well as a great mixer with other flavors.

 

[440BB]

When it comes to a refreshing menthol, I'd suggest trying Halo Menthol Ice - definitely a keeper for me for most of the last two years.

 

[DeeDee1234]

I smoked menthol, 2 packs a day. I keep and exteme Ice on hand at all times. I also picked up the pure ice flavoring and I tend to add a dropor two to everything. I have stayed away from the tabacco flavoring, I don;t think folks have alot of luck with getting that exactly what they want anyway. To me the menthol and ice flavors does it for me

 

[DeeDee1234]

get at least two clero's or extra coils
