Thanks... I do have several wall chargers. :)

@Cedric212 I'm not even going to try to respond to that...lol. I didn't understand half of what you posted. I'll look for the gold standard for vaping later. :D
LOL, sorry about that, had to rush out of the house so I responded somewhat hastily. Basically both Ego and Kgo are pretty much the same thing, i.e. a cigar sized rechargeable battery with a switch but made by different manufacturers. Next, VV = variable voltage, this feature allow the user to adjust the voltage of the unit which in turn controls the temperature, vapor production (to a certain degree), and taste of ejuice. This feature on an Ego = Ego Twist, which was gain popularity because before Ego Twist, the VV feature was only available to certain APVs (larger sized ecigs). It wasn't until recently that Kgo came out with their own VV unit called Kgo VV. The advantage Kgo VV have over Ego Twist is a wider range of voltage control (3.2-4.8V on Ego Twist and 3-6V on Kgo VV). In addition, the Kgo VV have two features over the Ego Twist: (1) battery level indicator showing how much power is left (2) passthrough, a feature that allows you to vape while charging the battery (convenient if you sit in front of the computer whole day) which you can't do on a Ego Twist. Some people are already saying Kgo VV will soon replace the Ego Twist. Unfortunately, currently Kgo VV is only available with the 650mAh battery capacity version, but it's definitely something to keep an eye out for people interested in purchasing a Ego/Kgo.

As far as the genuine vs. clone, Joyetech is the original maker of the Ego. However, like most things in China, once a product gained popularity, clones and knockoffs will soon follow. Some would say genuine Joyetech have better quality control and their products will outlast and outperform the clones, but you'll be astonished with the failure rate of these types of battery whether if it's genuine or clone. For people who think Joyetech batteries are better should take a look at this video. The bottom line is, most venders only offer one month warranty on these types of batteries, and since it's made in China, don't be surprised if these only lasts you a couple of months. Having said that, remember to always buy it from a reputable vender and learn how to take care of these batteries. Some simple guidelines are:

-Clean the connection to avoid short circuiting the battery
-Avoid overcharging the battery, don't leave it charging overnight
-Be gentle on the switch as they tend to break or get stuck easily​

Edit: Probably too much unnecessary information...to keep it simple, just buy the Ego Twist from VapeDudes.com or AltSmoke.com (register and use FIRSTORDER for 10% off) since Vapor-Choice.com are all OOS, and get the rest from GotVapes.com as Ralikar suggested. :vapor:

I switched from analogs to e-cigs back in October and have never gone back. Sadly, I did not turn this into a hobby, so I am clueless when it comes to the terminology or what goes with what. After spending the last several hour reading the forum (because I like to at least try to figure things out for myself :confused:) my frustration level is through the roof. I just have two tiny, simple questions (I think)...lol.

1) Do I have everything in my cart that I will need or am I missing something critical?
2) Is that little protective ring thingie necessary?

Thanks so much for any input you can provide!

That's not the best price I've ever seen. This may be too little too late but in case anyone else sees this, you coulda got a better deal at Vaporbeast and free shipping too on every order. They're 18 bucks there for the 900 mah size. Charger is 3 bucks.

I'm new to vaping myself and I haven't tried the vivi because of the tank size. I did start using the vision version 2 clearomizers instead of the "normal" clearomizers. I found that I have to clean them out every day or they taste funny/burnt after a refill. The vision version 2 makes it easier to take them apart and clean them. (Easiest method is to just drop them into a bowl of vodka and let them sit for 30 min take them out, let them dry overnight and good to go)
 
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. My order finally shipped (the vendor was moving to a new location and I missed the notice on their site that nothing would ship out until the 10th...bwwwahahaha...nothing can be easy) so I'm looking forward to trying the twist. Keep in mind, I have used nothing but those regular batteries (sorry, not sure what they are called, although I used to know) so this should be an awesome vape for me. I'll keep coming back to this thread and trying out some of your other suggestions. :)

Errrr, sorry! Didn't realize this post was 2 months old....


Welcome!

Here's a post for us girls if you're the same type and noone else put it up for you: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ly-pretty-decorated-pink-134.html#post7881615

I found and love my starter kit from vapors choice. Direct link to their starter kits : Ecig starter kits

It also comes with 15 ml sampler of juice, and they come with the short-wick type tank systems. I did notice that they're sold out on quite a few kits, but there's some still available! Well worth it.

Seriously???? LMAO...I'm just kidding. I know what you mean, but I think it is going to take me a while to process everything spinning through my head right now. The price was worth it to not have to look at even one more website...at least tonight it is worth it. Tomorrow when I have recovered...maybe not so much.

I think I'll just ease into this. Again, I'm not looking for a hobby...just a good vape. My little batteries have done alright for all these months, but I do get tired of constant charging, constantly sending them back for replacements when they fizzle out after a couple of months, and constantly refilling the cartridges. If this setup will allow me to get through a day with no more than one refill/charge...I'll be very happy with it. I'm really a low maintenance kinda girl. :D


I hear ya!!! I struggled through 4 months of the lil ciggie 510 type... Last month bought a big 18650 battery and a vivi nova tank... now I change batteries every 3 days instead of 1/2 way through the day...
