I have evod starter kit. I can see ego style batteries working for me on car rides and short trips around town.

For home use though, should I go with an ego twist style or vv/or vw mod or mech mod?

Rebuilding coils doesn't scare me at all. When I'm home, it's about the nicotine (6-18mg as I'm still experimenting) and the flavors.

Just spend $20-30 on a twist or save $50-100 minimum for a mod and all the accessories I.e. batteries, chargers, atomizers etc.?

MVP 2 s what everyone is going to suggest. It does it all and has a quality build at a low price. I haven't used one yet but I have been around here quite awhile and I see many of the trusted vets around the forum recommending them all the time. I am even considering getting one. I Know some place has it on sale right now for 49.99. It doesn't use replaceable batteries so you won't have the added expense of a charger and batteries. Check it out and see what you think.:)

I have both. The Spinner Twist requires me to check resistance and set approx voltage (see Kanger instructions), adjust for taste from there, takes forever to charge at .420A. Nice piece just the same.

The Vamo in RMS mode just works and charges, well, w/my charger, faster w/almost 3X the battery. You gotta lug it around tho :)

Best bet next to a Provari at 1/3rd the price is my understanding.

I keep my flavors in different cartos so I'm switching often.

My buddy started me out with a Twist and I still use it as backup, but after that I went to a Vamo V2 and am very happy with it. You can get a nice kit that comes with the Vamo V2, Nitecore I2 charger, and 18650 battery from Fasttech for around $50.

$51.54 Vamo V2 Variable Voltage Mod / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Kit - with Nitecore I2 US battery charger/charger cable/1*Sony 18650 battery at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

They have come out with a newer version, Vamo V3, but I don't like the way it looks.

And you can always buy 18350 batteries if you like it in the shorter version

I have a 1300 vision spinner and it is nice.
But i found a great deal on the itaste vv3 and whoa!
So one week later i just ordered the mvp2
I will be giving away all my old ego batteries.

The twist will be my new back up.
The vv3 and mvp2 are just a new level.
I love the classier look of the vv3.
It looks nice sitting on a table.

My egos reminded me of a dang needle lol, my teens have commented on me looking like a breaking bad wanna be.

It even looks nice,with a simple,carto on it.
I also notice,that some cartimizers i didnt like, i like now, using the wattage setting helps a lot.
Apparently i necer really mastered that sweet spot in the spinner.

I also like that its a pass thru.
Also cool is my car charger works for it as well, so even if it dies on the road, just plug it in and vape.
I like the led screen, sometimes in a dim lit room or in the car,mthe spinner is impossible to read.
The led screen is nice.

The MVP2 also works as a pass-through, its a nice feature so you will never have any downtime. If I could only own 1 vaporizer setup, its a no brainer as to what I would pick ;) I've previously owned a SVD and Vamo V2, those worked great but as soon as I got my MVP, I sold one and gave away the other. Its so much easier for me with my limited desk space to be able to just use the same charger as my cell phone as opposed to needing a separate charger and batteries.

$40 MVP2 (internal battery & charger included)
$42 Zmax V3 (would require batteries & charger)
Both are VV/VW, great mods under $100.

Check out the reviews on YouTube. :)

That would be my recommendation also--if you want a bigger mod.

If you just more features, I recommend iTaste vv.

Anyone know if the size of the twist effects the vape itself? Because my ego twist lasts all day..... But also is the length of a magic wand

Battery capacity is expressed in mAh (milliAmpers)--the higher the number, the longer the battery will last. The very rough estimation is that 100 mAh equals 1 hour of vaping--but that's a bit optimistic.

it is miliAmp Hours and that is how many amps it can dish-out for so long in a basic sense.

if you wanted to get something to last you a long time i would recommend you get a MOD VV/VW will give you a more consistent vape but you will not be able to take them sub-ohm. On the other hand, mechanical mods will give you better battery life(doesn't have to power additional things) and you can do pretty much anything with them even though i would stick to the low-res carto/atomizers or RBAs. if you wanted to go under low-res into sub-ohm you could with a mechanical MOD if you have the right battery. The KeCig K101 or SmokTech Magneto are highly reputable mechanical MODs.

Ampere (Amp) is a unit of electrical current. A milliAmpere is one thousandth of an Ampere. The ampere-hour is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as electrical batteries. :D

Well if you pick Mod you should look here: https://www.fasttech.com/
The most expensive one is the Innokin iTaste 134 at $107 but you can get others for less like the Innokin SVD for $37 or the Lava Tube is in the $30s too, and they deal in names like eGo, Vamo, Smoktech, KSD, Kangertech, ect. These guys here can tell you which one is the best deal or the better Mod. I'm new and pretty much clueless but they seem to have some good prices. Be careful of batteries make sure you read or ask other members about what kind you should get and about ordering them from a different country. I think some people had to wait longer for delivery when they did, but not sure about that.

Me I just got a ProVari, starter kit is at $209 but the Mod itself is $159.

Good Luck :)
