So quick short story. Started vaping about a month ago, started out with analog looking e-cigs (from the local gas station), moved up to a 510 kit large pacific ocean supplier (again analog looking) then a ego style dual battery kit from the same pacific ocean supplier. Then I found this site and realized I've been buying the wrong stuff. So the ego clone kit I bought included two 510 connection batteries a 650mAh and a 900mAh with xl cartomizers and a tank. So since then, I have investigated more and with the help of the wonderful people on here and other reviewers ended up with an 1000mAh ego twist and a KGO VV for my batteries. Today I recieved my Vivi Nova's, i've been vaping hard today lol. Since about 5pm I have been vaping 2 flavors in my Nova's. I went to go charge my ego twist and realized I forgot to put the kgo vv (650mAh) on the charger, so I took out the 1000mAh ego clone which was charged up this morning. Put the vivi on the clone and started vaping and though, crap I must have drank something that messed up my taste buds, but I had been drinking the same thing all day. So the battery died on the clone, by that time the kgo was fully charged, I popped the Vivi on and bam..... flavor and throat hit was back! I've only got the KGO at 3.9 volts and the ego clone is supposed to be 3.7
Could the ego clone just not be putting out enough power for my vaping needs even though its listed at 3.7 volts?

Got a meter? The only way to know for certain is to put the eGo clone on a meter and see what voltage you are actually getting off it.

What you were told about your eGo clone may or may not be true. I'm pretty sure (without looking it up) that a real JoyeTech eGo output voltage is a regulated 3.3 volts.

I assume your ViVi kit came with 3 heads. Those will each be a different resistance and each would feel different on a fixed voltage battery. One more reason to get hold of a meter if you don't already have one. In my ViVi kit none of the heads/packaging gave your any clue what resistance each head was.

The ohms on the vivi nova heads are printed on the side of the head in between the wicks. I got two minis and a 3.5 ml, the minis come with a 2.4 installed which I have been using all day. So I know i'm running the same resistance and if the off load of egos are 3.7 then I know I should be running the same voltage while the battery is loaded.
I certainly have a few meters 12 years working for audi lol, just dont feel like going downstairs in the basement to get them now (something for tomorrow)
Just starting to wonder if I got a crappy battery from them, I've already had a few issues with their products, but honestly just don't feel like sending 2 batteries ALL the way back there for them to test them and hopefully send me new ones back.
