The edge of the knob wore off my Twist too. I just turn it all the way down and then back to where I want it. After so long I have it memorized.
I think with a little effort I will soon be able to communicate entirely with lol ocelots.
I think this is a good honest answer.
I think the one thing about these forums that is obnoxious is people who just started vaping yesterday getting advice in the New Members forum to get a VAMO. No, DO NOT get a VAMO until you figure out what your vaping needs are and what is appropriate for you.
An eGo Twist provides generally the same vaping experience a VAMO does, this I am sure of. I tested both over a two week period and came to the conclusion that if I can do some math on the ohms, I am getting nothing with the VAMO except a brutal looking device that you pretty much have to keep away from the eyes of the public. If I buy a device I want to be able to take it to the bar, a ball game or to a friend's party. I'm not getting ridiculed for two hours to have an ohms checker and variable wattage, not when an eGo Twist can do pretty much the same thing. I do understand however that talking new mods and looking at all the possibilities is the reason for these forums, and that most eGo Twist only users have 8 total posts.
I like the Provari mini a lot, but that is where the tube mod lists begins and ends (maybe the zmax mini). I bought an itaste MVP and love it but I still use my eGo batteries on a daily basis. Once I get my eGo Twist (today) and the itaste MVP 2, I'll be set for awhile. I am likely to go the REO route as my next vaping venture, but I'm pretty confident I'm not getting a dildo mod anytime soon.
I'm not hating against the public for buying and buying either, get what works for you or that you like. However, a VAMO isn't for everyone and an eGo-Twist provides the same punch and pretty much the same vaping experience IMO. Would I like vw? Probably, although I can probably make an argument for actually wanting different vaping experiences from device to device, tank to tank. At least right now I do. When that desire ends then I'll go Provari or Reo as I am looking for something practical and durable that is consistent.
In conclusion, enjoy your vaping experience. If you need to by an itaste 134 to enjoy it, do it. If eGo 650mAh batteries do the trick, spend the savings on cheap women and craft beers.
Rant over, I now return you to your regularly scheduled cat chat.
In my eyes, probably not, if you aren't wrapping your own coils at all, that ego twist is going to serve well until it needs to be replaced.... but I'd recommend having two or 3 just incase you need more than one charge, say a late night or you forget to charge, so you always have one to use while the other charges. 
I got my eGo Twist today, brilliant. It's longer than a Joyetech eGo 1000 but still within reason, got some good vapes from that bad boy today.
Best vape I have is the MVP with an Smoktech Artemas tank, but the eGo with Artemas was solid.

Why is wrapping coils so important? I see that mentioned a lot to new users as well.
I think more times than not, too many people forget they were once new at this yet they speak like we're all a bunch of veterans.
Sadly the new member threads quickly get derailed with speak that can be over the top. What happened to keeping it simple?
I bought my eGo cause it's all the store had that I went to.
I bought my Kanger EVOD cause I liked how pretty the pink was.
I bought my Sigelei ZMax could it looked awesome in my head.
I don't think anyone needs to justify their devices or for that matter, only have one.
Right now I'm vaping some apple pie and I couldn't if my life depended on it tell anyone what the voltage or wattage was set at cause I don't care--it taste good wherever it's at.
And believe me, I'm not done shopping yet. I don't know if I ever will be. I thought the Provari would be my last purchase but today I saw some eye candy that I'll more than likely get later this week.
Don't limit yourself....the more devices the merrier. I like being color coordinated.

I had a 1000mAh regular eGo when I got a 1000mAh Twist. I didn't occur to me that it would be longer for the extra fiddly bits inside. I opened the package and had a minor freak at the size. I got over it, of course, but my first thought was Oh God! What did I buy?
It's a meme. Waves sweep through the New Members forum, it's quite interesting to watch. In a couple of months people will still be wrapping, but there will be some other device or modification new vapers will be bombarded with.
If you want some entertainment, check out the forum archives from 2008 (it isn't just a screen shot, you can click to visit forums). The gear was certainly different, but many things are no different from now. New members were still asking what to buy and the latest Hot New Toys were the best thing since sliced bread.

Ego twist batteries are great in my book. But also are mods too. The thing with a mod is you have backup batteries and you just change out and ready to vape again. I would say probably 80% of vapors have at least one or two in their arsenal. I use them regularly with a mod all the time. Having a mod lets me use both twists and mod at the same time and I know I will never be without a battery.
I also have an ohm meter so I don't have to use the mod all the time to check resistance. And building coils and checking if they are right without risking damage to a mod or unscrewing stuff all the time on a mod to check resistance. When my twists die, I will buy more.

Topic:
I know it's tired and cliche' sounding, but I agree with everyone who said that if you're happy with what you've got, that's all that matters. When I first discovered the bliss of VV vaping, I went a bit nuts and went on a spending spree. My arsenal consists of 3 Spinners, 4 Twists, and an eGo-V v2, which is the most advanced thing I own. Coupled with my beloved duel-coil iClear16s, they kick like a mule, and satisfy me just as much as smoking ever did. I *was* eyeballing an eVic for awhile, but then thought, Why? I'm perfectly happy with what I have, and I already have enough VV batteries to last for 3 or 4 years, if they hold true to an average life cycle for eGo batteries. I'll probably buy a more expensive gizmo at some point in the future, but mainly for the novelty value, and not much else.

Agreed. bottom line -
Betteries:
If what you have works, use it.
Get a couple of extras for backup and backup-for-backup. That way when one dies you have time to get a new one.
Devices (atomizers, etc):
If you are comfortable with a device, then use that one. have plenty of spare wicks to replace, or rebuild if you want to.
Juice:
Find the ones you like and use them. If you want to DIY, go ahead and DIY but you don't have to.

OP, if you ever have the chance, try out a friend or fellow vaper's mod. Be it a Vamo, a ZMax, a SID, an eVIC, an SVD, a Tesla, a Provari, an MVP, whatever... I think, if given the chance to hold one, play around with one, and hit one, you could find out for your own self why a mod might be in your future.
I love my Twist, my Spinner, my V2 Mega, they are solid devices, and if you take care of them, they'll take care of you. But after dipping into mods, there was no looking back.
Be very, very careful. It can be addicting and very, very expensive trying to keep up with the Jones's.

I LOVE my provari with a genesis style RBA. Gave away my ego twist to my sister hoping she'd get off the analogues. My very next purchase was an ego twist, a couple 450 mah egos and a bunch of iclear16's! These are perfect for work, car and out and about, fit in my pocket far better, and vape great.
The OP's question regarding the Ego Twist, or moving on sure seems to invite some more thorough answers than, "I like Pizza." So I will make another pass, even if it seems "trendy." The Ego Twist will serve you well, even if you move to an RBA, or just want to make your own coils. Why bring the coil thing into issue? Simple. 1) I do not think it makes more sense to upgrade a voltage source before an atomizer. This leads to: 2) Most people say you can't run an RBA on an Ego. So, circling back to the OP's question, The Ego Twist will serve you well, even if you stick with the atty's you may have, or after several months may have made some other ventures like trying different stock coil resistances or made your own, when most people will tell you, "Don't do that with an Ego."
I've been vaping for around 8 months now. I started with ego twists and I still use them everyday. I bought other stuff to play with but I couldn't live (as a vaper) without my twists. They are small - there's really nothing better that is smaller. They are flexable - I can get a good vape with a variety of toppers at different ohms. They're easy to use, charge quickly . . . I could go on.
They don't last forever. The 2 egos I bought when I started vaping died at right around 6 months. One started acting wierd and the battery connector popped off the other - causing the board to come out and the wires to break free.
You almost have to have 2 - with a big battery mod you could just have multiple batteries. Batteries are around $10-12 wheras an ego twist is 25-30.
If you're wrapping your own coils . .I understand they are easily ruined by shorts.
If you want to blow huge clouds on youtube - an ego twist isn't gonna do it.
So, in my opinion, there is not a real reason to move beyond an ego twist .. unless you feel like it. Sometimes it gets boring vaping the same pv all the time. The hobby component of e-cigs is one huge differentiator from tobacco cigarettes. Gadgets are cool and interesting and sometimes a new device can give you the spark you need to stay off the analogs.

And this is probably the reason I smoked a pipe. There was a hobby quality for that as well.
