Ouuu!!! Such a quick response!
Thanks for all your advice Jacoji. Appreciate any help with hardware and forum etiquette.
I didnt realise multiport usbs delivered limited power particularly when used with a wall adapter. The multiports would be handy to use to charge a few batts overnight however, (maybe 1xEgo Twist 1000mah and 6x510's to set you for a full day of vaping the following day). My current Ego Twist would run out of charge every night at 11pm UNTIL I replaced the coil on my V3 clearomiser- now it requires charging every 3 hours
Yeah, Im trying to get those 5 posts in- you can tell huh?

lol I'm trying to get my 15 posts so I can get one of those smoke free banners. I tried the multi USB thing too. It wouldn't even charge one lol.
Flatbat - did you change resistance when you changed the coil? Lower resistance will draw more current at the same level of watts, but that sounds like a drastic reduction in battery life.
If you were at 2.3 ohms, 4.0 volts to reach 7 watts, the current is 1.74
If you went down to 1.7 ohms in your coil, then dialed in the same 7 watts at 3.5 volts, the current is 2.03
If you went down to 1.7 ohms in your coil and left the twist at 4 volts (9.4 watts) the current would be 2.35.
(Higher, but not a significant increase in current).
Like I said, I'm not sure if you would further decrease the life of your batteries with a slower charge by sharing a multi-port hub. There is a 10-port 510 charger available, and it will also charge eGo batteries (but a 510-eGo adapter would be needed for each eGo). You'd want to confirm that the 10-port hub is compatible with a car charger for those long road trips.

Wow That gave me an electrical headache for real. I was pretty sure I wanted the VV to sharpen the flavor but I gatta take these things in increments. I surely have a long ways to go in my new hobby.
lol Good question Jacoji! I have absolutely no idea what resistance Ive created! Ive ordered a multimeter off ebay to investigate 
Yes, I only have myself to blame for undertaking repairs with only limited ability and understanding of the repair process, but Id still like to know what went wrong.
My resistance was originally at 1.8 ohms, before I went all YOLO on my coils, which didnt seem to impact the 24hour battery life of my Twist. Im sure what youre suggesting has something to do with the issue but it does seem like a drastic shortening of battery life, I agree.
Thanks again, youve been very helpful!

Apologies for overwhelming. It always seemed backward to me that really low resistance could be a drain on battery life, so I had to work out specific examples. This example is why variable watts (VW) is becoming more popular. You know your "sweet spot" is around 8 watts and the device adjusts the voltage appropriate to the resistance of the current atomizer/cartomizer attached. Then you tweak the watts for taste/TH of the current juice. You end up in the same place by adjusting the voltage, but there is always going to be a manual adjustment of voltage with a change in resistance.
If it makes you feel better, I used a phone app to work out those examples. I also would not know any of this if vaping wasn't my new hobby (and time/money suck).

lol oh my goodness! Im not very mathamatical. Im afraid the variable voltage is wasted on me. Ive only just understood the significance of the resistance in combination with voltage per your details above. Whats this app you use?
It's called Circuit Calc (free, no adds).
You'll get there. In the world of the eGo (non-twist), voltage is a standard 3.7 (trails off with battery life) and most eGo clearomizers are 2.0-2.3 ohms resistance so there isn't much to think about. With the Twist I think you have the range of 3.2-4.2 volts. It doesn't allow you much range in trying out a variety of resistances (word?) but you can at least dial in a particular juice for flavor or "hit". If you started with 1.7ohms (low resistance), then you were in the right place to keep it on the lowest setting.

That just made so many things I've read in the past week make so much sense. Of course, I will forget (or confuse) all of this by my next post!!! Small brain, big belly - that's me!
I use 1000mah eGo C twists as well as a few other batteries and mods. I like this chart as I can quickly see what voltage/ohms play well together. Maybe it will help.

OK, based on the posts in this thread I just pulled the trigger myself. I have an eGo-C Twist on the way with lots of different liquids to sample. Hope to get it this week since myfreedomsmokes ships from a warehouse less than 3 hours from my home. We'll see how the post office does!
Thanks for the post and good luck!

Lol, i understood at the time of writing but the significance has since eluded me? Lower resistance uses more batt, that's all we need to know
Thanks for details on that app jacobi! Ill give it a whirl!
Yeah, I've done some more reading on vv. I didn't understand the relationship between the volts and resistance other than 3.2-'meh, so so', 4.2- 'look!!! More smoke!'
And i discovered my resistance was particularly low as you suggested! Thanks again Jacoji !
This is really helpful! Discovered I've been adjusting my voltage correctly just intuitively!
Though only to an extent, alot of it is common sense with regard to adjusting voltage, i.e. comfortably warm, flavorful vapor GOOD/room full of smoke, scalding liquid and battery, BAD.
I bought an ego twist kit with 2 joytech batteries and upgraded to 1000mah's. They last about a day and a half. I always have the second one fully charge. I pretty much keep it at 3.8 and get huge amounts of vapor. Very happy with the result, over 30 days analog free now and I'm not punching walls or going crazy. Welcome to vape world
