Oh, that's right!! GREAT - no need to organize!

With the Twist you turn it all the way down, put on a carto and start Twisting until you get a good vape. No need to see those numbers or know the ohms. You'll know when it tastes right!

The Twist was actually designed for people who can't count or read numbers!

I love it! Relax & Enjoy!

I'm a bit disappointed as far as the "twist" is concerned. The bottom part of the battery that twists is very small and I find it a bit awkward - maybe it has to be "broken" in. But overall it's a nice battery and like it.

I assume the knob was designed smooth and quite stiff so that it would not change voltage when it is in a pocket. Anyway, once it is set it's good for as long as the juice holds out. I have never had it change voltage on me.

Your other point about the battery level; with my kGo I could tell when the battery was low because the vape would get weak so I didn't need a 'gas gauge'. The Twist keeps whatever voltage until the light blinks and it shuts off. A "10 minute warning" would be appreciated.

Agreed - a warning would be nice. My VV eGo shows the battery level, but the vape gets weak as the battery drains. Not noticing that at all with the Twist. I do like that about the Twist.

I have a Provari, love it but for going out and about I leave my Provari at home and need something less pricey incase I drop it or loose it, so just ordered the VV ego. bnrk

I usually take two batteries out with me, and one is always a passthrough eGo that I can charge/use in the car if the other battery dies.

You definitely can't go wrong with a Provari. I've had mine (satin black v2) for over two months and its my go to device, also have a silver bullet and eGo. The silver bullet is my traveler in the car and out and about. I know the Provari is quite resilient but don't want to destroy her beauty lol...I rarely go up past 5.6v, it seems to put too much stress on my atty/carto. Congrats on the purchase!

That's my plan too. You will love the Provari, it is so great being able to test so many things on too like battery charge, carto resistance, etc. They are great! bnrk

But there is always a new and better "Shiney" coming out!

Innokin iTaste

Recommends voltage range, tells the puffs remaining, pass-through charging, pen clip, no threaded connections, battery indicator and 3 low battery warnings!

And it's "Shiney"! Also won't roll off of a table! Lol

OMG - now you've gone and done it! I CANNOT resist gadgety things - I'm a total tech geek. I need to control myself. This is crazy!

Totally looking forward to it - I will be checking the tracking every day - shipping out of Washington and has to make it's way here to NY - most likely won't get it until next week, but maybe by Saturday.

Shiny doesn't have an e :p!
I have been watching the reviews with great interest. Perfect device for formal or smart occassions where a hunking huge Provari with tank could get you thrown out the door or arrested.

P.S. Will look awesome next to my white iPhone :p.

My Provari was ordered on a Wednesday. From Washington state to North Carolina I received mine on Saturday. It shipped priority mail.

Got my Twist two days ago, and I must say I’m impressed so far.
I’m not going to wade into the “which is better” argument, as the Twist and Provari are different animals.

What the Twist has done is open my eyes to the benefits of VV for a cheap price. It lives up to its billing and works as designed. I share the complaint of the hard to read numbers, and an early warning system would be nice… but that’s my only beef with the device. Other than that, it just plain works, is pocketable (650mah size) and even if it breaks it has taught me that VV is the way to go.

Things are moving so quickly in the world of PV design, I can’t wait to see what’s going to be out in the next few months or year. It’s just amazing how quickly these things are coming to market.

Now that I’m a VV convert, I can see buying a Provari or whatever becomes the latest and greatest in the near future, but I will always need something that is easily pocketable to stick in my jeans when I’m out and about so the Twist form factor is something I’m sure I’ll be using in conjunction with my “home” unit.

If it was shipped USPS, then the tracking info means nothing. When I ordered my KGO from DarkCityVapor in North Carolina, he shipped it the same day and the USPS tracking for 3 days showed it to still be in NC. Then it just showed up at my home in Texas. The USPS tracking is a joke - a bad one, but a joke nonetheless.
