Hello, I looked up the ego batteries and they showed a 3.3v output on joyetech's website. I'm supposed to get a ego t tank atomizer tommaro and I have a Vision Spinner VV, I want to vape on it just like using a regular ego battery with the same voltage. I posted this just to make sure I'm correct on the voltage outputs. Can someone double check for me, I'm new to Variable Voltage situations and I don't want to blow the atty. Thanks

Hi Shane. Not exactly sure what you are asking. Yes, it's safe to assume your eGo battery is outputting 3.3v. Yes, if you set the Spinner to 3.3v it will be the same vape as the eGo battery. You can increase the voltage slowly and check out the vape at higher settings. This is what VV is all about. You will know you have gone too high when the vape tastes burnt. The atty will be very unlikely to blow at this setting, but it will wear out a bit faster.

Answer: Most fixed voltage devices work at a standard 3.7 volts output. This does vary by model, manufacturer, and also battery charge (in the case of mechanical mods or non-regulated types).

The big plus to VV is that you can tune your vape a bit by changing the voltage. Always start on the lower end and slowly increase then decrease until you find a sweet spot for a particular juice. Some juices taste better a little cooler, and most taste pretty good at or around 3.7 volts, other juices taste better a little higher voltage.

They'll all be pretty good and acceptable on a fixed voltage device, but you obviously can't change it to get the better taste for some juices over others.

Technical note: If you know the resistance of your attachment (say 1.8 ohms for instance) then if you multiply that by 2 = 3.6 volts. Plus or minus a few fractions of a volt is a pretty safe range to run most things. Or you can just go by taste, which is pretty much what I do. I alter my voltage or wattage for a hotter or cooler vape depending on my mood or the juice or any number of reasons.

Also, here is a chart that may be helpful - it should at least give you a good starting point. Then it's up to you to fiddle around and find what you like.

I will tell you though, I recently discovered that I had my VV set way too high for what I was vaping. My advice would be to start at the lower end and work your way up

Thanks for all your advice guys, the atty is rated a 2.2ohm, the ego battery is said to be 3.3v. And I seen a video review of the tank atty to which the person was into VV and said that anything higher then 4.2v would risk frying the atty. This chart confirms that and all your advice to start off low is very wise. I heard Ego batteries were rated at 3.7v, but people confirmed that under the load of an atty they drop to around 3.3v. Now I'm assuming (Correct me if I'm wrong) my Vision Spinner VV is constant and under a load does not drop down in voltage. But when I do get the atty I don't plan on going anywhere past 3.8v. Thanks guys
