Mostly I worry about the eGo not being reliable.
Have not had a problem with one yet and I own two of them.

I'm running a 510 low resistance Cartomizer with a J-tank & thats also what I would run on one of the mods I listed.

Is there any mods the size of the eGo but made just a little more robust.

Look for the ego-T 18650 or the Smoktech 18650 E-power V2 MOD

Just a little bigger than the Ego (mostly girth, not length), but smaller than the LavaTubes...

Shown on the left vs Lambo v4 on right in the pic...

Does your twist battery charger blink green every 10 seconds while charging?

It will be red but then blink green and back to red. if that makes sense.
Yeah. All the eGo chargers are the same. Looked at multiple vendors and pretty much any ego/clone uses the 420mah output charger.

Speaking of ... was trying to charge my twist through USB and it was taking too long so I plugged it into the wall adapter ... still taking awhile. I better not have wonked this dang charger from using my USB port.

I'm probably being impatient though. lol I'm finding that I vape around 4-4.2 volts and it seems to drain this 900mah twist rather quick considering how much ive been vaping. (like ... all ...dey..time) Madvapes is selling the spinner for $24.99 and $2.99 shipping so I might just grab one of these and forget the new 3-6volt passthroughs.

Annndddd now the charger is done. lol

the usb port is usually underpowered and not really the best way, works but wall wart is better,

even if you get the spinner/twist.
I bought a kgo vv w passthrough cable for sitting around at the pc works great and if I need to get up and do something I can just unplug without changing batt's

Yeah ... that's the thing. I'm most likely (fingers crossed) getting a pretty decent at home job working for a popular IT company. So a passthrough would work really well since I'll be behind a desk at home for hours on end.

However, I also want an ego vv that I can use out and about without having to pop a new battery. I decided to see how much time I'm getting with this 900 for the first time tonight since I havent been paying attention. It very well could be giving me enough time.

Very nice.

I been using the 1000mah models and they seem to last pretty good.
The C-upgrade can be used while charging and comes with a long charging cord compared to the twist.

I think I found my sweet spot its around 4.2-4.4.

Now will the twist run at 4.4 until the battery dies?
if the batter is dead and 4.4 what happens if I turn it lower? will I get more run time when that happens until I
got get to 3.2?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get all the tech stuff figured out LOL.

How do you have your twist set-up?

I found a slick way to keep mine chilling also, I use a tall shot glass and just set it in it.
Very stable.

The voltage can become lower as the battery drains but I just leave mine at my sweet spot and really don't notice the difference.
I don't think you will be able to use it once the circuit detects the battery is close to being dead ... even if you lower the voltage. This is for protecting the battery because it's very bad to completely drain the battery.

I bought a lanyard to hang my ego around my neck so I don't have to worry about placing it anywhere. Though when I'm at the desk I often just sit it to the side (helps wick the mini nova anyways).
