Did I miss anything??

I'm looking to have something that I can
walk out the door with in the morning and get me
through a day at work, so the tank system looks like
the way to go.

Looks good.

One question though. What size eGo Twist were you thinking about? 650mAh, 900mAh or the 1,000mAh?

unless you are vaping air, you are gonna need some juice.

Lol. Yeah, after I decide what to order I'm going to research juices & juice vendors
then decide. I'm thinking at least some tobacco flavor to go with my coffee & something fruity.

@zoiD:
The 1,000.

Are you aware of just how Long a 1,000mAh eGo Twist is. By the Time You put a ViVi Nova on it, it Isn't very Pocket Friendly. ;)

One of the YT vids shows a similar set-up & it's
like carrying around a Louisville Slugger.:D
I carry a comp bag with lots of deep pockets with me everyday to work so it's a non-issue.
I'll probably spring for leather case eventually.

I just want a battery that I won't have to charge 2-3 times a day.

What's the life of a 650 & 900?

There a Rule of Thumb that some people use that 100mAh is about 1 Hour of Vaping. All depends how much you use it though.

The only reason I asked is when the Twist first came out, I was going to buy a 1,000mAh as a Backup VVPV. Something to put in my Shirt Pocket when I wanted to go Out and About for a Couple of Hours.

But then I saw how long it was with a Tank on I was kinda Surprised.

I like PV's which Don't attract a bunch of Attention when I'm in a Crowd.

I just got one of each. My 650 I charged yesterday right before I left my office at noon, It finally died about an hour ago (7:00pm-ish). I vape about 2ml (give or take) in a 24 hour period.

The 900 I don't use as much, it's longer, but I figured if the 650 was dying on me too much, I'd keep it as my backup and go to the 900 ... I've charged the 900 twice, once as soon as I got it, once about 3 days later ... but it hasn't actually "died" on me yet, so I don't actually know how long it lasts, better than all day LOL

edited to add: the current juice is vaping around 4.2 - 4.4 volts.

You "may" want to also take a small(5ml.) extra bottle of juice to just top up with if you happen to have a heavy vaping day, or a leaky tank. Never hurts to carry a spare battery with you too, in case your regular one didn't get as much of a charge as you thought. Back-ups 'll do you no good at home if you are at work!

Good you have a comp bag.lol.

I've been thinking about that as well. I've never noticed anyone vaping around here
so I'm worried about being a spectacle. I may have to hide in the shadows when I'm running errands.

900mah ego twist will be my choice. Most of the time i vape at 3.7v and 900 can last me a whole day without recharging. It also fits just nice into the casing i'm using. While the 1cm longer size of 1000mah will protrude out. 650mah got the best size at 98mm but the battery life just doesn't suit my needs. I wish there's a shorter version of 900 or 1000, i don't mind the battery being a little fatter in diameter.

its pretty good for a setup, i would be taking ine if he ego chargers to work though.
i am lucky to get 4 hours from a 650 twist.
standard 900 ego and an ego C atty will last all day and have better flavour so long as you stick with dekang juices, the attys are not fans of strong flavours as they will then clog up.
good luck with it and enjoy ;)

My 1000mah Twist last me the whole day from 5:00 AM to around 10-11 PM (Yes long day). Go through about 3-3.5ml of juice in the Vivi Nova with a 1.8ohm head (Stock) at 4 volts constantly.

I'm guessing you are a guy and you don't ware skin tight jeans with pockets just for show or a few peanuts (as you mentioned above) so go with the 1000mah, it really is not that long that every one claims it to be. I'm not a big guy at all either.

Yeah I could hide behind a broomstick myself, so it's going to look odd carrying around that contraption.

Also, could someone please tell me if the VV nova requires a separate carto?
I'm still kinda lost on this one. :confused: Someone recommended cartos for testing juices
& I just want to be sure I don't need them for the tank, that they're a stand alone thing.

Vivi's are stand alone, you may be well advised to get 1 or 2 replacement heads however.
I prefer the 2.8ohm over the 2.5 in the stardusts I use(they are very similar units) on the Provari.
Perhaps get a couple different ohm rated heads to see what works best for you.
