New vaper, ego battery lasts me

[Naflatem]

I've been vamping now for 3 weeks and have completely abandoned the cigs, yay! Anyway, I have 2 setups both have a ego type battery which last me all day, or so far have never died on me. My question is, do I follow the natural progression of getting a mod type device or is the main reason for upgrading longer battery life? Are there a lot of other benefits to a mod that I don't know about? I did notice that one liquid vendors' site I was browsing mentioned their voltage recommendation for a particular flavor. I'm not opposed to taking the next step and upgrading but I'm not sure i want to make things more complicated either. Like now I just press a button and puff away, I don't want to have to change settings all the time etc. I will appreciate your feedback thank you!

There are many of us that have stayed on egos or cig-like long term.

I've been vaping for almost 2 years and have stayed with ego style batteries, though they are variable voltage; eGo-C Twist and iTaste VV/V3. I mostly use atomizers, clearomisers and carto tanks; HH.357, Vivi Novas, evods, J-Tanks with SR Boge catos.

For this, I believe I have kept my expenses relatively low.

Variable voltage (VV) means that you are not locked into a standard resistance (SR) atty device, and can tailor the power to match your device and also create a warmer or cooler vape for certain flavors.

Having said this, my next step will probably be getting an iTaste MVP or MVP V2, purely for battery life.

BTW - congrats and welcome.

Welcome and congrats!
It isn't mandatory to go in any particular direction! IMO if you are happy and your setup is working for you stick with it. You know the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it". If and when you do want to upgrade we will be here for you.

I'd get an ego c twist - I bought 4 of them in January (genuine Joyetech) and they are all still alive and kicking, and I must say I vape CONSTANTLY throughout the day, this month will mark my 4th year of being off analogs

Actually a variable watt model PV with a carto-tank setup is less hassle and more consistent than what you are currently using. Since VW automatically adjusts the power to the carto, etc to maintain your original setting, it is closer to set & forget. Since the battery is regulated, as it drains, it keeps the power constant unlike many fixed volt models. I only have to add eliquid at bedtime and and can go another 18 hours not needing to do anything. No hassle, no maintenance, complete consistency. And if I do decide to change the eliquid or the head, I can adjust the power to what I prefer instead of being locked in to the same power signature.

I stayed with my ego batteries (mainly 650 mah) for over a year before I got a mechanical mod. I did try several of the ego-c twists, and several of the 1100 mah ego batteries, but I preferred the 650, because of its shorter battery length, especially when I used a clearomizer. It seemed that the longer the length of the setup, the more likely I was to drop it . I also found that for me, for the juices I use, I really didn't notice any need to use a higher voltage on the ego twist (which lets you easily switch between 3 voltages by twisting the bottom ring). That has been my experience, but everyone will have different needs and reasons.

So, everyone's journey takes different paths with different timings. If/when you do decide to experiment a little, getting an ego-c twist battery, with which you can easily try some other voltage settings, yet still use existing attys, cartos or tanks, is probably the simplest next step.

If you decide to go variable, I would suggest a variable watt model over VV. And models like the twist have the weak 2.5 amp switch which will limit what you can use on it. Models like the iTaste V3 (smaller than a twist) has a 3.5 amp switch. Models like the Vamo have a 5 amp switch.

I would recommend variable wattage as well, that is, if you're not that into doing electrical algebra. Through adjusting the voltage you are adjusting the wattage anyway, but with a whole lot more guess work. I am an electrician and measure the warmth of vapor in watts. I prefer between 7.2 and 7.6 watts depending on what juice I'm vaping. I know I am getting theis wattage based on my eGo batteries running at 3.3 and 3.7 volts and my heads running at 1.8Ω. The formula is P=V^2/R (wattage equals voltage squared divided by resistance) My 3.3 volt batteries are 650mAh eGo's with no voltage shut off switch and my 3.7 volt batteries are 1100mAh with a chip that controls a shut off when the output drops below 3.65 volts.

stick with what you know. it's not a ..... swinging contest

I still have a bunch of Ego style batteries, in both fixed and variable voltage. I like the small form factor of 900mAh and 650mAh capacity batteries. They're pocket friendly, too.

But I also have a Vamo V3, a variable wattage mod. Being able to increase the amount of energy produced by the setup meant an increase in flavor and vapor.

If your atomizer supports coil replacement/rebuilding, going for 1.8 or 2.0 ohm units will probably improve your experience. The factory installed atomizers on most systems range anywhere from 2.5 to 3.7 ohms, which is hard for even a VV ego to drive well. Drop the resistance and try that, and you may find that you're happy with what you've got.

I went from an Ego and duel-coil to a Zeus and smileomizer. It was a great step up.

I have been vaping for almost four years now and still use a KR808-D1 I smoked analogs for forty-five years and the first Ecig I got
was from that green place and I hated them so I kept smoking analogs until I ran into an X4 which is very outdated now and I cannot
find those any longer but I think they smoked so much like an analog that quitting was the easiest thing I have ever done. I went to the 510 next but found that the KR808 offered less fuss since they are only a two part system. The only thing I need to mess with is
the Ecig and a cartomizer already filled. I am not good at all with the juices and I decided just to buy the cartomizers that have
already been filled for me. Its still cheaper. I wanted to TRY a mod but had no clue as to which one has the least fuss and muss. I just want to put a cartomizer on it and vape. No juices. And welcome to the forum and to vaping. Best thing I ever did for myself. My own doctor was thrilled at my quitting and turning to vaping. So if my doc says its better than analogs I surely will believe!!

I have 4 egos and a zmax v5, they all work the same but the vv/vw feature is really nice since I diy and I can alter wattage and voltage to much bigger ranges to see how the flavor changes

thanks to everyone, I'm so appreciative of all the advice

Thanks and what type attys are you using?

Congrats on the four years. At this rate I guess we'll be seeing you in other parts of the forum around 2019.

I am new to vaping only 2 months. I got ego twist 1100mah. I holds a charge for a good amount of time. I am looking for another type when I get more informed of the various batteries that are available.
