Need help; want something more powerful than my Volt (eGo-C)

[Boxster]

This is bad if your button light is staying on. It should not do that. I would send it back.
There are a lot of Ego clone knock-offs with questionable quality. These are all made in China.
Even original joyetech batteries can sometimes have problems. Don't get me wrong, there are
some good Ego clones out there such as the Vision "Spinner" batteries.

What type of clearomizer did you buy?
I personally like the Mini Vivi Nova. Easy & rebuildable.
You might try something a little sleeker like the ego "Mop Head" Clearomizer.

Good luck

Welcome to the forums I suggest this Mod it is a VV (variable voltage unit and can measure ranges for cleromizers) I personally love it it goes from 3.0-5.0 volts.

I can't comment on that particular brand. I've never used one.
Personally I use the Mini Vivi Nova.
The newest "Stardust" may be a good option. They are easier to clean, and the coils and tanks are replaceable.

I have the EGO Twist but now looking for something better and done a fair bit of research and decided on a Smoktek mod box 6vv from Smoktek USA. What decided me was after reading Toms review on ECF. Check it out you will be amazed.

If anyone likes the Twist you would love the Vision Spinner. Turns really easily and you can actually see the numbers for the volts setting. Got Vapes has them right now but they go out of stock pretty quickly. JMHO

I'm a bit suprised that as a Volt user your not aware that Smokeless Image sell Ego size batts in 650, 900, and 1300 mah. I use the 650 and 900 myself. Smokeless Image don't do vv if you specifically want that.

I personally think calling users of a device a cult is over board also (this wasnt the OP). You could say that about most vapers who rave about the twist or provari, or a bunch of other devices. The cult label started on some ones biased blog. There are several good devices and room for variety.

If 3.7v is your sweet spot then the Volt X2 is a good batt. Sometimes it's worth checking what else a supplier has available. SI have been selling fatt batts,clearomisers and other stuff for quite a while now.

Re: vivi nova mini w/.an ego twist!-do you find the tanks to be a little bit of a juice hog? Maybe it's just because they're super small, I find myself refilling quite often. Performance, however...stellar!

That battery that the OP has should not be continuing to fire once the button is released. It is defective and should returned to the vendor.

I agree with Kiwivape in that you didn't stay with Smokeless Image and try their X2 ego-size batteries. At least you've had a trial run with variable voltage. Since you still find that 3.7 volts is your sweet spot, you found that you may not need variable voltage, at least not at this stage of your vaping experience.

Unless you plan on eventually quitting vaping altogether, you might also consider something other than the disposable battery devices like you've had. There are small-sized tube mods that are extremely durable and will last years. They take smaller rechargable batteries which last about a year.

Just as an example, Altsmoke's BB is a 3.7 volt device about the same length as a 650 mah ego type battery, but a little thicker in diameter. It takes a AA-sized 14500 battery that could last you roughly most of the day, and each battery will cost less than $8. Carto tanks and tanks like the vivi nova easily carry 3-6 ml of juice on top of one.

Twist, best battery. An all rounder, even the pros uses them. That's what they say.

What is a pro? As far as I'm concerned a pro is some-one paid by a supplier to do reviews. I prefer reviews by other vapers.

The KGO vv has a better range than the twist and better increments. Which isnt to say the twist is bad but a number of twist users have found the KGO better.

I recommend doing a forum search on the vvs.

twist with ce4 , simple and good

Just purchased the elips-c kit from Ovale USA. It was too sleek and sexy not to get it. It just went on sale today for $81 from 99 so I couldn't pass it up. Just don't like how big and bulky the eGo is, and too little the volt's battery lasts. But now I have some different options. Thanks all for the input. I'll post how the elips-c does.

Still going to use the eGo-c for at home, but probably the elips-c for on the go.

 

[steve1974]

I have various ego batterys and the ego twist 1000 mah is by far the best!

 

[cfdp]

Anybody know of a clearomizer for an eGo C that DOESN't LEAK? The kit I got leaks and it's getting very annoying to the point where I don't want to use them anymore, wasting liquid and making a mess all over everything..
Thanks!

 

[klynnn]

You can use any 510 clearo, I recommend the vivi nova 2.5.

I went with an Apoloe C8
