Q about Twist battery

[confusednewb]

Hi, thx to all the info on this site I become more educated on the subjects everyday. Before I give my questions let me give some backround. I started vaping 6-8 weeks ago and havent touched an analog cig since. I started with an ego battery with what I believe is called a CE4 tank. This tank is un-servicable but can be cleaned out. Its been holding up just fine. I started off using regular tabaco flavored or unflavored juice simply called "Marlboro", has little to no taste. I'm just now getting into different juices trying to find my preferred flavor as I would like to have some enjoyable taste to go with vaping. I'm also now getting into different tanks, I just bought a bottom-feeder tank today to try out. My questions, however, at this point are about the twist battery.I heard taste quality could be improved using a twist battery so I recently bought one. This particular battery has a range of 3.2v - 4.8v.
I'm trying to be clear on the exact benefits to being able to adjust the voltage. Some of my questions include: How does adjusting the voltage affect taste if using flavored liquids? Also what effect would it have on a non-flavored liquid seeing as how taste is not a factor? How does adjusting voltage effect amount of vapor clouds produced after exhalation? How does voltage effect the strength of the hit as it is inhaled? What else does the changing the voltage effect/change?
All help appreciated, thx.

My general understanding is that some flavors work best at certain temperatures, and that means you might need to adjust the voltage. My primary benefit is that different coils have different electrical resistance. In other words, different coils will require different voltages to reach the same temperature.

Higher volts + coil resistance = higher wattage, wattage aka "power" drives the vape...more power warmer the vape and usually stronger the flavor, your marlboro flavor shouldn't be unflavored...try backing the drip tip/top out about 1/2 a turn to get more juice flow thru the coils letting you get more flavor...you should see an immediate flavor difference

The chart below shows you "power levels for a given resistance" but ultimately your tongue will be the deciding factor on the voltage level

More voltage = more heat = more vapor and throat hit.
With a fixed battery, you need to get the right resistance to get the optimum vapor and there's some guesswork. With an adjustable battery, you can adjust the voltage and tweak it to your liking.
For more lingering vapor, use a higher VG liquid. VG gives more vapor but less flavor and throat hit, so it's a matter of finding the right balance between PG and VG for your personal preference. Some use strait VG. I use 70%PG and find the vapor acceptable.
I usually turn up the battery slowly until I start to taste a slight burnt taste, then back it down a little.
I'm no flavor connoisseur so I just go for the most vapor and throat hit without a burnt taste.

So it seems that knowing the resistance of my clearomizers would help. How would I determine that? Here are pictures of the 2 I have. The clear one is the one where the wicks are not removable. The other one is the bottom feeder with replaceable wicks.

Some of my questions include: How does adjusting the voltage affect taste if using flavored liquids?

Different flavoring components react - for better and for worse - to differences in temperature. Changing the voltage applied to your device is how you change the temperature in order to get the best possible flavor out of your liquid.

Also what effect would it have on a non-flavored liquid seeing as how taste is not a factor?

That's not really true. Unflavored VG usually has a sweet edge to it while unflavored PG is some times described as slightly bitter. The same rule applies. You can make any liquid taste unpleasant - even unflavored - at the wrong voltage.

How does adjusting voltage effect amount of vapor clouds produced after exhalation? How does voltage effect the strength of the hit as it is inhaled? What else does the changing the voltage effect/change?

Don't over think this, especially with a Twist battery. Ultimately you want to start your device of choice at the lowest voltage on the Twist and then start increasing the voltage until you get the best flavor out of your liquid. If you adjust the voltage too high you might end up with a .... load of vapor - that tastes like crap because you are burning the flavor components in the liquid. It's easy to misinterpret more throat hit as what is only now more burnt flavorings than anything else. The better way to increase throat hit is to increase the amount of PG in your liquid.

Variable voltage is meant to tweak the experience for the best combination of voltage, device resistance, and all the variables to be found between liquids. Although a higher voltage might create more vapor or produce more throat hit, higher voltage can't put things into a liquid that aren't there to begin with. Start low, and move the voltage up until you find what tastes the best.

thx for all your help. Guess it will just take some trial and error, thx about the info on juices.
