V-GO vs eGo Twist

[hawley]

Hey all,

I'm looking from upgrading from a V2/Volt cig-alike to an eGo Twist or a V-GO. I do like the fact that the twist has VV, but I then also have to invest in some 510 carto's. I had a blu starter kit and can re-use those cartos, however most of them already have that burnt taste. I found the pre-filled blu's did not have a whole lot of juice in them, and I didn't know that the burnt taste was the carto burning.

On the other hand, upgraded from blu to V2 which is an 808 threaded device, which the V-GO is. The V-GO kit comes with

2 pcs battery 900mAh 808d-901 thread
1 pc Atomizer/Cartomizer cone
5 pcs Cartomizer
1 pc USB charger
1 pc Wall Plug
1 pc holder bag
1pc manual
1 pc Gift Box

for $49.95 Cdn.

I have 25 V2 cartos that I can refill, and would add an extra 5 pc blank carto to that order as well as a Firebird 808d Top Coil Clearomizer(CE2) - 5 Pack. These items could be used with my V2 batts so I could still have a cig-alike device when I'm on the go. I leave for an extended military tasking quite soon, so I've gotta make a decision relatively quick. My other thought would be to just get the cartos and bring my juices with me on tasking, and look at a PV when I get home sometime in June. I just figured as I'm making one last order before I leave, maybe add in the PV as well.

Thoughts?

Hi...I have an ego Twist and love it. It is a 510 thread which most accessories are too. I can't comment on the 808 threads but someone should come along and help you. Good luck.

Thanks Beccca, I was looking at getting an eGo twist as well... Just saw the V-GO being sold from my preferred vendor, and realised they have an entire 808 line. Some of the clearo's they advertise are safe for ciga-like batts as well, which I've wanted to try. It would be nice to have a larger batt for home vaping, (although I do enjoy my passthrough), and with the 808's I can use my V2cigs stuff with it.

Hi! My only thoughts are that while there are a lot of 808 devices available, there are more 510s, and accordingly, more vendor options and more things to be found on sale. If you got a 510 threaded set-up, you could still use the 808s with an adaptor.

You could always get a thread adapter to use your existing gear on the twists 510 connection.

So the general consensus is hold out for the Twist, and in the meantime grab an adapter, check

Anyone use the V-GO? Is it comparable?

How about using a CE2 or any top coil clearomizer on a VOLT, or V2 batt?
