Needing current advice

[Puffinon]

Some months back (before a hospital stay) I was seeking advice on purchasing the following combination:

o Vision eGo Clearomizer V3 (Exchangeable & Detachable)

o [Joyetech] Joye eGo C Twist Variable Voltage 650mAh Battery

First, is there any newer "latest & greatest" which might supercede this choice?

Second, which Clearomizer resistance to go for? 1.8, 2.4 or 2.8Ω ?

I use Dekang Blueberry 18mg juice and have just a couple of standard/universal USB chargers, which I used to use with 3.3V 650mAh batteries.

Thanks for any advice.

The ego twist battery will still be your best bet.
The beauty of the ego twist is that your second question doesnt have a definite answer. You can use any of them.

Most buy all three and find out what works best for them. 2.4 ohms is a fairly safe bet as it's "middle of the road". Lower ohms and you'll want to vape at lower voltage while higher ohms you'll go to higher voltage- all dependent on the vaper's personal wants and needs.

I'm happy with Ego Vision/stardust at 1.8 ohm on a normal 3.7 volt battery, and the Twist can provide that, but you might want to try using the twist's variable voltage feature with a 2.4 ohm or 2.8 ohm. The Ego visions don't need huge voltage to give a warm hit with a lot of vapor, so 2.4 should work great. Your initial setup would still be my first recommendation today and is a great start. Make sure to get spares of everything and Good luck!

By the way, the 1.8 ohm ones work well on regular 3.3 volt Ego's too, so you've got backups already!

Thanks to all you guys for your replies.

One other thing - at the moment, I use Boge 510D XXL LR cartos, and go through about 3 a week. How long would one of the Clearomizers last at this usage rate? (if that's possible to estimate) Just wondering how much I should "stock up" when I order.

Thanks.

Being that they are disposable units, you can probably expect the same lifespan... are you using the same liquid in the boges that you are replacing?

Looks pretty cool but I would imagine all of the information in that e-book and more could be found here on this forum. What is it you're wanting to know, im sure it has been discussed here!

Yep. Same Dekang Blueberry. But that's pretty expensive by comparison. One Boge carto costs 90 cents, while one Clearomizer is $4.50!

Can one of you explain to me the advantages of the Twist (variable voltage output)? When you would adjust it and why. Also, what is the output of a regular eGO, 650 mah battery? I'm a newbie and am using a Joye eGO with the standard 650 mah battery. Thanks Ed.

Unless I'm mistaken, eGO with 650mah battery puts out 3.4-3.7v with 3.7 being fresh off the charger. The advantages of using the Twist is that you can adjust it when and where you want to. Sometimes, certain juices need a little more power to make them pop. Also another advantage is that you can use different Ohm carto's or atty's with them a lot easier and get the most out of them. Say you have a 2.8ohm carto, you can turn up the voltage to get the same temp hit that you would get with a 1.8ohm carto running at 3.7v. Or you can run the 1.8 at 4+v and get even warmer hit from it.

It really changes the response you get from your atty/carto and juice.

Hmm...interesting. I burn a lot of Johnson Creek juice. I understand JC is a thicker juice. I wonder if a little more output would make that burn noticeably better? I can't say if my standard eGO battery burns it optimally or not. How would I know? Thanks for the information Roary.

And of course the cheapest way to find out is by getting the eGO Twist! I realize that $20 is a little bit of a gamble, but not much considering what other ppl have spent to find that VV makes their vaping experience better.

Myself, I started with a Riva (eGO/KGO clone) and then jumped to 6v (stacking in a Silver Bullet on the recommendation of a local shop) and found that the vapor was actually too hot for me. In one instance I actually burnt the taste buds on my tongue because I didn't know any better/wasn't paying attention. So I just purchased a LavaTube (actually one of the many variants) and I couldn't be happier now. I still have my SB, just going to convert it to a straight 3.7v for my wife and then I will use my LT until she is ready to upgrade and I will pick something else up for myself. In two months time I've spent $350 on just figuring out the right PV for me. Now granted, part of that was the Riva kit cost which I knew I was going to out grow, but I purchased the SB to keep me going for awhile and I was disappointed. If I can help someone else not make that mistake then so be it I will.

So give the eGO Twist a shot, worst case scenario, you can decide you don't like it and turn it down to 3.7v and use it like a regular spare battery. Best case, it works great for you and you get months and months of use out of it!

Exactly Roary...if it doesn't help, I just have a more expensive spare battery is all. The risk is rather low. Looks like this battery fits all the eGO's. The Joye page shows it only on the eGo-C but says it's good to go on the standard eGO as well. Thanks again.

You know Roary, I was also thinking maybe burning JC juice needs less voltage that what my eGO standard battery is delivering. One thing I have noticed is I lose taste after a couple of hits. I need to let it sit idle for a few minutes before the taste comes back. I wonder if the atomizer burns too hot and dries out the bridge. Of course, this is less of a problem with dripping, but for those times I want to use a cart, it is a problem.

Actually it sounds like there is a wicking problem if you have to let it sit idle for a few minutes. Its not the fact that it's burning too hot, it's just the fact that it's not wicking fast enough. You could try thinning it out with distilled water or PGA...just a couple of drops will do the trick.
