I just got an ego twist 1000mah battery yesterday, and have been having issues with getting burnt tastes, even when it is dialed down at times. I have two vivi nova tanks and am using the 2.8ohm heads. I also have some tabac bcc bottom feeders with resistance varying from 1.8-2.4. All these variations have been giving me that nasty burnt hit every so often. I have dialed down all the way to 3.2 volts and still occasionally get it. I'm upgrading from a standard ego-t 900 mah and did not experience this so often with it, and only when using the 1.8ohm atomizers. I'm not having any fun with my twist! Any advice? Could there be something wrong with the twist? Thanks!

You need to know the exact range to vape at with the resistance your using using the vap chart,When I first started vaping I didn't know this and just set the twist anywhere therefor hit or miss.Here is the chart.But you said your vaping at 3.2 and still getting burnt taste,Which is strange?? I don't know if this the twist.

Have you had much experience with the Atomizers or the vivi nova?? Because there are little quirks to conquer with these things.
Hi. Sorry for your frustrations. Although they aren't as sturdy, the kanger T2s taste burnt less frequently than the vivi or T3, for me. I know I'm in a minority, but I've never been happy with any ohm vivi nova. Keep us posted, when you find your fix. Good luck!
If you using something with 1.5 resistance and vaping at 4.8 volts I would assume damage is inevitable.
I also never had issues with the nova,But If you have an multimeter you could check the twist at different settings.Is your twist a knockoff??Or genuine Joytech.

I was just giving an example with the 1.5.But I also asked if the twist was a knockoff or a genuine Joytech,Because I have a twist made by Hello smoke and it is weaker than my Joytech.So there is a difference.
You should buy a simple multimeter to check the actual voltage output of the battery and the actual resistance of the coil. Also the rubber caps on the vivi coils can get pressed down and strangle the wick a little. Also the actual wire in the coil can get pulled to one side and cause hotspotting against the inside of t he coil head. My guess is the rubber cap. You should pull it up a little and not tighten the vivi nova top all the way down and then test it again.
How do you know what resistance you have? I've seen the Boge LR cartos I use defined differently on different sites. Some just say LR. Others say 2.0 and yet others say 2.0 - 2.4. I haven't paid that much attention but I think I've seen the same variance in SR.
Are you pressing down particularly long on the button before you draw? 3.3v is a little low. 4.3v seems to be a good middle ground for me. At least for VG liquid. When I got my vivi nova and ego spinner and tested different ways to draw etc and I got a burnt taste when I dialed up to 4.8v and pressed the button down for a long time while taking the biggest draw I could. Lower volts, 3.3v etc produced very little vapor for me. I can imagine burning if I dialed low and pressed the button down a long time to try and get more vapor over a longer time. I am not having any burnt taste, though, with my ego spinner and vivi nova tanks. I get a very clean taste.
Using boba's bounty VG
Ego spinner 1300mah at 4.3v
Vivi nova tank with the 2.4 head.
Very clean taste for me and no burning.
Maybe your draw method is wrong? Too little ohm and too little volt? The lowest heads that come with the Vivi are 1.8ohm.

I've read a lot about the nova and how it's a hit for some people and a miss for other.. I just picked one up today and I put the 1.8ohm and checked it with my provari and it reads 2.4 ohms. I have it set at 4.2v if I go to 4.6 or 4.7 it starts to taste burnt
It is a joyetech for sure. I will try pulling up on the rubber caps though, that makes sense. It is not just happening with the vivi tank though, but also with the tabac bottom coils (though not as much). I'll watch my draw, too. I don't have a meter, but I know the shop I bought it from does. I also know they would swap it out if it is a problem with the twist. I just don't want to fry all my tanks in the meantime. Thanks everyone for the help!
