Quick eGo Twist Question..

[Ictinike]

Sorry folks.. I posted over in the rba section about a new rba I got today and it is a 510 connector but it doesn't fit into my eGo Twist. It's had a few hits and I'll await a full response hopefully.

I know the issues with running RBA's on these devices (lack of short circuit protection) and I just wanted to try it a few times with a known good coil (2.5 ohm) and then shelve it until my ZMax CoOp comes in but I find the RBA connector just fits entirely into the twist's, supposed 510, connector.

Are the twist's 510 not a standard 510? My LR Atty's hookup fine as well my Nova tanks so I'm confused.

Has anyone had issues fitting items advertised as 510 on twists? Everything I've put on it to-date fits even an adapter I have for KR808 (V2) stuff I had lying around before purchasing the twist.

Just wondering and thought I might get a response here too.. Sorry if out of place.

Cheers,
~Icky

Assuming everything is made properly, the ego Twist is a 510 device. Do the threads not match, or does it simply not seem to make contact?

everything i've got that's 510 including some RBA's fit my twists.

No it makes contact, completely down but the RBA connector fits entirely into the ego's connector. Like it's 1-2mm smaller in diameter.. If I can get a good macro shot I'll post one up but I align the threads and instead of screwing in it simply just plots to the center pin on the ego.

Yeah that was my thinking as well.. I have a Phoenix type RBA that came with this order too but not opening it yet since it was someone else's order they shipped to me instead. Once I hear back what the vendor wants to do I may open it but looking at it via the sealed packaging it looks to be the same diameter as well which, well, has me confused as to what I thought would or would not work

exactly what model of RBA is that, name etc, might just be milled wrong, doesnt look to be a standard 510 size. i cannot rememeber specifics but I do recall a post about two different threadings both being called 510.

as far as "standard 510" i have a box full of all kinds of stuff for the ego's and never had any problem w any of it fitting correctly.

Thanks Thrasher and I think you may be right on the milling..

This is the Bulldog RBA from OKCVapes.

I've sent them a message to see if any others were/are like this and trying to locate a caliper so I an get the OD of the threads but seem to have (wife & kids) lost it for the time being..

Everything else still works AFTER putting that RBA on correct? I know some devices can push the post down, preventing contact.

DUDE! pull up the link and scroll down a bit says right on the page:

The Bulldog Rebuildable Atomizer is NOT intended to be used on an eGo/eGo-C Twist battery

so there is probably some kind of adapter or the ego threads are too shallow.

BOOM! There goes the dynamite.

From the reviews I've seen from various reviewers and my own experience with rebuildables and my Twist, the Twist does have short circuit protection.

In SteelJan's stress test video, she used a screw driver to try and short circuit the Twist and it didn't. That's about all the information I really have on that subject.

No their intention with that isn't due to the connection type but the possibility that the RBA has of short circuiting and killing the ego battery. That, at least to me and other vendors who use that disclaimer, isn't for not using specifically on the twist If it isn't intended on the twist, due to the connector, then what does it connect to? (rhetorical question)

Also, I'm not saying a twist doesn't have ~any~ protection but have read numerous threads in the RBA section here and abroad that pretty much state if you use an RBA of this type on an ego type battery your just asking for trouble eventually. Coils slip, range higher on ohms as you break-in and use, etc. I can link examples I've read here if anyone wants

Looking at my Twist info that came in the box (not Joyetech). According to that, it has Short Circuit Protection and will shut the battery down until the short circuit ends.

i'm pretty sure the real ego-c twists have protection.

I was going to mention that. The knockoffs tend to copy the feature list of the original regardless if their clone has it or not. It's possible that some ego clones either don't have it or it doesn't work properly.

agreed. im sure you are correct but just as a side note I have seen people complain about some things fitting other 510 devices but not fitting tightly on the ego style batteries, but I didnt even think about this as low res products even if not shorting out the twist are prone to shortening the battery life span.
