Wow! I'm surprised to see so much negativity towards the Twist! I have a Silver Bullet and a ProVari (although I haven't officially announced the fact as yet, because I wanted to spend some more time with it before becoming an official member of the fan club!) which I use exclusively at home.

I still use my Twists when I'm out and about. They're portable and (fairly) reliable. If I break one or lose one, I'm down $20. Whereas, if I were to break or lose my Vamo, I'd be down $50. Granted, the Twist isn't a ProVari (or even a Vamo, for that matter) - but they are pretty darn good at doing what they're supposed do. Personally, I'd recommend one over a Vamo because of the difference in size and weight alone - it gives you more options when you're deciding what to slip in your pocket. Also, with the Twist, the battery is built in and non-replaceable, so the point about the ProVari and the Vamo using the same batteries is moot.

The recommendation for a mechanical mod is a good one, though. If you're stuck on regulated vaping, you can always add a Kick.

Just my :2c:

I have had a regular Provari that got 90% of my vaping attention, just because it was the most consistant and dependable mod I have, and just feels the best vaping experience. I bought two inexpensive V-V gripper-style mods to use for out-of-the-house vaping yet still grabbed for the Provari when going out the door.

I recently got a Mini Provari for the above. Because it is lighter and more pocket-friendly and still gives that Provari vape experience, it gets to see the world and I continue to use the larger Provari at home.

Concerning backup mods, having a backup that uses the same battery as your primary battery device can be an extreme plus. All of my current mods use either the 18650 IMR or 18350 IMR; it's just easier to keep the sizes of batteries down to one or two different sizes for the charger configurations.

Three of the mods use the 18350 size and three use the 18650 size. Only my Altsmoke BB uses a different battery (14500) and it doesn't see much use.

Having a mechanical mod as a backup can be an advantage for a couple of reasons. Number one: dependability. If the zombie apocalypse or FDA deeming regulations happen to occur, you're set. Two: should you decide to get into a rebuildable atomizer at some point, a mech mod is what most people seem to settle on with them.

I have a Silver Bullet which I feel is a great mechanical. It and my BB were my first mods. The SB shares the same 18650 battery that I use with the Provari and one of the V-V gripper mods.
