The Vivi nova 2.5/vivi mini. I have gone 1 week without throwing anything out which is a miracle for me--tired of leaky crappy clearos. You can use all 3 heads on the Ego and select the one you like best for reorder--no leaks, washable, awesome. Like hot juice go 2.8 ohn on reorders...2.4 warm... 1.8 for cool...
The ONLY thing that stops this from being a hands down best thing ever is it does mute juice flavor. If you have strong juice or commercial juice it's probably fine. My DIY juice is suffering. Pick 1 up and try it out -- it's pretty great all in all.

Thanks Ralikar!
Are there any tanks that don't mute flavors? Or is that an inherent trait of tanks?

I personally feel like anything made of plastic is going to leach chemicals into your juice, making your juice taste 'off'. That's why I prefer glass tanks. I like carto/tanks over CE2's, but that's just me. It seems you either like CE2's or cartos. Here's a link to a glass carto/tank that would look well on your Twist. It's a slim tank, so it's not as big around, and wouldn't look 'top heavy' on the Twist.
3ml SLIM Pyrex Glass Tank With Chrome Metal END CAPS!

For looks AND performance, the Stardust is great; available in regular short wick, regular long wick, rebuildable short wick or rebuildable long wick! The Kanger T2 is also pretty good (my preference, but outside ego threads are REQUIRED) and it is rebuildable also.
Pyrex = WIN,,,, and I think we will see more and more of it to come. Cracks me up when I hear people say, " well my tank was clear but now its all clouded up" I mean really, and your going to keep vaping that chemical reaction, not I.
+1 mwa! Do you know of anywhere where they have glass tanks for those CE wicked things? I've yet to stumble upon anything in that department for people who don't like cartos.
+10. i only use pyrex. i gave up on plastic when my stardust cracked after sitting for 3 days from Gspot (grape base) eliquid. Also when plastic gets hot, oils and such are leeched out of it. At least when it comes to water bottles in a car, thats what scientists say. So i vape in glass, dont drink warm water from bottles, even though they are prolly shipped warm...and i do not eat margarin.
Phiniac is a good carto tank but I just cant stand the filler type Carto's. Pyrex can be threaded, so I hope sometime soon we can get a nice 510 Atty tank in pyrex, also the Stardust and Kanger T2 Type cartos would be super in pyrex. The more we all scream for pyrex maybe the Chinese, or USA vendors would listen up and make it for us. Everyone start yelling for pyrex
after all it is the safest and best, so lets get us some more good units that use pyrex 
hmm just gave myself a good idea thinking about this.

I love my valley view vapes pyrex and triple v tanks. I dropped my vtube...first time dropping a PV at all. It landed on the side of the tank. The vtube was gouged, the drip tip broken, and not a mark on the tank.
In all respect to all the choices for a Phiniac, which is with out question one of the top tanks available, a Phiniac would look rather top heavy on an Ego Twist. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The most slim pyrex tank that I have seen is the Siam Mods tank that Kay mentioned before. I do recall a poster say one of those tanks broke after being dropped. He didn't realize how thin the glass was on that brand. Just repeating what I read.
One of the slim polypropylene DCT Smoktech tank would be an option. They are 3.5 ml capacity. They come in a frosted clear or several colors. I can vouch these are solid tanks, and you won't need worry about certain juices cracking the tube.

1) The nova 2.5 doesn't react to juice
2) It depends on how picky you are on flavor. A lot of the DIY people who are very sensitive to taste go with the upscale tanks.
3) The Stardust has the clearo problems--great one time a leaky piece of crap the next. Do a search on ECF for them and you'll see that's the upshot. The people who post they love them usually are the ones rebuilding them, cleaning them, tending to them... "Oh, mine lasts 3.5 weeks" Go nova or one of the upscale tanks people above posted, Stardusts are for fun to play wih and a money claw into your pocket. THEIR Stardusts may last 3.5 weeks, bet yours is the one with the seal leak....

Anything plastic can react to juice IMO. That's why I use glass for all juice. Storage and feeders.
I like my slim DCT Pro (the one that looks like stainless steal) on my twist…I have a straight collar thing that gives is a really sleek look. It fits in a jeans pocket well, etc.. But I'm starting to really hate smoktech cartos. And the tank does leave a bit to be desired.
IMHO, find cartos that you like first…then look at a tank for them. Or go with Clearos. I like my vivi nova. My DCT has been sitting for days unused……but most of that is not being happy with the smoktech cartomizers. I need to try others. The only reason I haven't is that I don't want to dump the juice that's in it……but I'm not vaping it either, so…………
I'll probably cut the tube down to fit boges at some point.
