Okay so I got my eGo twist and it's. Y first one. The guy at thw shop put it on a 4.0v what difference does it make going lower or going higher? Is that how much you get out of it? I noticed that I am taking too little and getting just a little vape but when I take a bigger pull I cough on it.

You need to find the sweet spot( voltage) that works for you and your juice. I'd turn it to the 3.2 and work up until you find the right setting that works for your style of vaping.

like racegun said. best to start low and work your way up according to taste. you will get to a point to where you will know what juice and what coils like to be vaped at.

Okay awesome so this is pretty much a testing point. I didnt know the difference in the V. I will try it out. Thank you.

Have fun experimenting. It's the best part of vaping.

So much depends on your atomizer, if it can't wick enough juice and supply enough air, when you turn up the volts/watts to high you are going to get dry nasty hits, really nasty. Also your mix and nic level is going to play it's part. Personally, I find high PG juice harsh and makes me cough so I mix at 80% VG. We all have to find our preferences, juice VG/PG ratio, nic mg level, type of atomizer, and personal vaporizer. And as one starts to dial in one aspect the other might change. What kind of atomizer are you using? If it's just a cheap generic clearomizer, I'd recommend trying the Aspire Vivi Nova BDC tank. The Aspire will deliver great vape and be able to take whatever voltage an ego twist can put out. Once you have a decent atomizer, you'll be better able to discover what juice mixes you like best, without having to deal with dry hits. Then once you discover you preference, then you can focus on better gear if you want to make an investment into vaping.

Sweet spot can't be determined until you can vape your juice without getting dry hits. Some juice do taste better at different watts/volts, but then again, I find my sweet spot is around 30 watts. Like I said, so much depends on your atomizer, and whether it can deliver the goods.

Thank you singu.

Dice57 you have so much info you been such help. All of you have. Really. I'm using 50/50 right now with an 18mg juice. I'll slowly test them out as I get orders in. So far so good. I turned down my volts and its working great. I'm honestly not sure what atomizer it is. This was a quick pick up til my protank comes in vape mail monday.

Oh and my evic. Lol I ordered 2 protank II's so I have a back up. Ill slowly get more I am sure. Til I find my match made in heaven.

dice you really nailed it here. oh the fun we have, since I've gone to 100% VG I'm finding lower watts work better & a bottom feeding tank system with no wicks. One question though, what are you using that gives you "30 watts"?

LovesKitten, start low and work up to the point where you detect a slight drop off in flavor. If you get too high you will start to experience a slightly burnt taste to the vape. If you keep vaping when that happens you run the risk of scorching the juice on the wick and you might just never get the best flavor on that coil again. Back the voltage off if you hit the burnt taste level.

2 ohm coils are good to me at 3.7v. 3 ohm coils need about 4.2v. People are all over the place on the sweet spot since it's a personal preference, but the general rule is the higher the resistance, the higher the voltage for the same vape. Some juices will require more or less. It's something that requires some experimentation on the part of the vaper.

You will hear people say that they vape 2 ohm coils at 5 or 6 volts. When I hear that I assume that their mod isn't delivering the voltage they dialed in. It's true that some mods can't actually deliver higher voltages to low resistance coils due to current limiting in the circuitry. The might have the dial turned all the way to 6 volts, but only getting 4.5v on an inline voltmeter.

Thank you DaveP. Everyone here has been such great help. I dont think I could learn even 1/4th of what I have via Google like I have here. I've found 3.6 is just about okay so far. No burnt taste yet.

LovesKitten, I will second what DaveP recommended for finding your sweet spot, and I'll add that vaping is a very personal thing. Everyone has a different idea of what the best flavor is, but part of the beauty (and fun) is the experimenting. Every tank/battery/coil/juice combo is going to be a little different and will need to be dialed in, but once you know what you like best, it will be quick and simple to adjust on the fly to get to your liking.

You may find that the sweet spot for your tank/coil/juice on the twist is not actually the same sweet spot on your eVic. In theory, the voltage you pick on the twist *should* work identically on the eVic, BUT that is not always true. I have found with my Protanks on my eVic, when I move the tank to my iTaste VV, I also have to adjust the setting ever so slightly to get the same performance. Add in my new VTR, and then it is a whole new game, for some reason the settings are very different with this one.

It gets even more fun with the eVic because it adds in the option to use variable wattage. Variable wattage gives you even a little more flexibility as you can actually get partial voltage steps between the .1 that variable voltage provides. I have some juices where this actually is necessary for me to get to my sweet spot.

Ultimately, just remember to have fun experimenting with the new gear!

dice you really nailed it here. oh the fun we have, since I've gone to 100% VG I'm finding lower watts work better & a bottom feeding tank system with no wicks. One question though, what are you using that gives you "30 watts"?

I am using an Aqua rba with a .5 ohm build on a Nemesis 2 tone clone Mechanical, going straight mech. with no regulation. With sub ohm builds one can achieve extremely high watts. The lowest I usually go is .5 for now, mainly because my kick 2 will only fire as low as .5 ohms and the batteries I am using are rated 10 and 16 amps, and I don't want to push them to far. For my 1 ohm and higher builds, I'll then use a kick 2 at 15 watts or use the Provari maxed out, which will put out 15 watts max.

Of course once the voltage drops on my mech the watts produced drops too. So when it gets down to the low 20 watt range I switch out the batteries.
