just a 510 LR atomizer or a 510 standard atomier will work great on a twist. The SLB would be a good one, the 306 has the 510 threading but the 306 can be a little finiky for someone new to atomizers in my opinion. The ego atomizer you do not want, it has those whistletip cartridges you have to use with it, as does the ego-c 3 piece changable system. I would go with the SLB.

Thanks for noticing that, the whistletips are exactly what I said in my earlier posts I did not want.

Gosh, see how it is for newbies? I look at stuff and I don't even "see" what I need to see.

Okay, a little learning curve, starting to get the hang of it though.

YOu can check out my rig....i explain my mod...then blow plumes of vapor the likes this earth has yet to see!
at 1:58 minute mark i'm at 3.7 volts............
at 3:00 min. mark @ 4.5 volts
5:00 min. mark @ 5.3 volts...then towards end 5.6 volts.

Yes, I can see that being new to liquids, I will be in "testing phase" for a while--probably could use 1 or 2 of these. Good advice.

Sticking with the order I'm already making from specific vendors, can I get advice on which model will fit my set-up:

Atomizers:

Low Resistance (LR) Atomizer
Low Resistance (LR) eGo-Tank Atomizer
Low Resistance (LR) Atomizer - SLB 510

eGo-T Type-A Atomizer - Black
Don't get any type of Low Resistance gear if you are getting a Twist.

My suggestion would be to get a couple of standard Joye 510 atomizers which run about 2.3 ohms.
Anything lower that 2.0 ohms (low resistance) is going to restrict what the Twist can do.

Wow! Nice find! I'm ordering a 650 today. This really is a can't pass it up deal for an eGo passthrough. What can I say, I'm a gear junkie. LOL

And by the way, DancingHeretik, their ordering page/process is right up there with the big hitters. I say no worries. ;) Pretty cheap shipping too. It does appear to be a recent start up, but they have done a good job with the presentation.

wOOt! A little follow up report for my dealings with O2Vapor. Ordered an eGo 650 PT for $13 incl shipping on Sat and received it today. Not too shabby. The device came fully charged and properly shut off. Much to my pleasant surprise a 2 pack of their O2Vapor Infinity eGo 808 clearomizers was included in the order no charge. So I am now gleefully ready to go vape with my new eGo (note that these have the eGo/808 threading and not 510 but I have adapters). I would say they are ready to do things right for those willing to check them out. I will be doing more business with them.

Thanks, DancingHeretik, for the bone, and O2Vapor for great service. Remember that the $5 off coupon code 'lifeisgood' is valid through this Friday 7/20.

Fabulous! Such great idea.

BTW, a few vendor sites, like Vaporkings (tulsa is close by to me) has videos of how to do something, right under the product they are selling. TO me, this is outstanding for a newbie....I mean, we hear all these strange words, terminology, have NO IDEA how to put it all together or what it even is. Under one of the tanks they have for sale is a video of how to fill it, and then attach to your batt, etc.

If somebody could do a video of parts....here are the parts you receive, here is how to put them together, here is how it looks in final form (instead of ordering a long cylindrical silver-thing that comes in a box, which is all a newbie sees when ordering something on a site LOL). Then, here is how to maintain it, etc. This would be a great "set" of videos somebody could do, IMHO.

Maybe me. LOL

I hear about dripping. I can't visualize what that actually IS, or how to do it. Maybe I'm not too bright LOL

Talking to horseracing newbie:
"get the DRF, find the PP's for your track and race, and the conditions for the race. You probably want to stay away from mdn sp wts to start off, since they are hard to cap. NW1X, NW2X, NW3X's are okay to start with. Find the DSLR for each horse, Tomlinson's, BSFs, if they've had any blowouts or bullets, etc. First wager avoid exotics, use straight wagering, and move to trifectas and superfectas (keys or boxed) later on when you get the hang of it. Parlays are kinda fun for beginners....blah blah blah..

newbie looks at me quizzically........

I do a bit of horse racing, maybe once or twice a year, down here at Del Mar.
I learned a bit about it when I was a college student, some 25 years ago.

The Daily Racing Form (DRF) is of course critical to any chance of real success, other than of course luck.
And Post Positions (PP) is a fairly important factor when you get THAT far into the details.

Personally, I study speed and closers, and try to determine how the race will set up.
To me, this is where the real intelligent decisions can be made.

I do tend to stay away from the mdn (maiden) races, although looking at the trainers and finding bullets sometimes give a clue.
I'm not sure though why sp wts (special weights) makes a difference, but that is probably like advanced algebra to someone with my experience.

I have NO idea what NW1X, NW2X, and NW3X means, so you got me there.
Nor do I know what DSLR, Tomlinson's, or BSFs are.
:)

I bet mainly quinellas, exactas, Win/Place and DDs for the most part.
Although I have been known to put some money into a Trifecta now and then.
;)

If the day ever comes that I bet a Superfecta, or anything more exotic, I'll know I've gone way too far!
