VV batteries (ego twist)??????

[Ruth-Ann]

Need help... I am a new to vaping and I am trying to get a good setup.
I have an Ego starter kit that came with 2 1100 non vv bats, and stardust clearomizers.
I already upgraded from my stardust tanks (they leaked), I now have iClear 16 duel coils (happy).

I am wondering if I should get a vv battery, but I have no idea what they do or how to use one.
Would using one give me more clouds??? Extend/shorten bat life??


HELP!!!

Hey man i just started too and I purchased an ego twist 1000 and pretty happy with it. The very bottom of it has an adjustable knob that goes from 3.2 to 4.8. I paired it up with mini nova and get good clouds with it at 4.0. It also depends on the juice your using too.

Have you, by chance, considered a vamo? Reasonably priced intro mod. Rechargable batteries and you can check resistance and all of that good fun stuff. I get a lot more vape out of my vamo than I ever did with my twists.

the ego twist has three volt settings by simply twisting the bottom. the first setting is 3.7 which is what your current ego battery is. by switching the twist to a higher setting it will produce more vapor and possibly improve the flavor. also as your cart/atom gets used over time it will produce less vapor. with a twist you can turn up the volts and get more use from the cart/atom. also higher volts will drain the battery quicker but its well worth the increase in vapor. good luck

Vamo is good. But you could also do a Lavatube v2. Although the ego twist is a good one as well... VV is for people who like to have control over their vaping experience, and want to frequently switch from cartomizers of different resistance to atomizers with different resitances, all in the same day.

It has more than three settings. It has labels at 3.2, 4.0, and 4.8. It also has tick marks every .2 volts inbetween. But, without testing output, it seems to be an analog dial.

I second a Vamo. Any Ego battery is ultimately disposable as the battery loses capacity, or the thing just falls apart. The nicest thing is they're fairly compact, and cheap.

Ok... Can u up the volts too much? Do the clearomizers come with what the optimal volt is? I would hate to blow up my clearo...

 

[bfitz]

You can burn out a clearo if you turn it up to much, I believe the advice around here is the ohms of the clearo plus 2 for the voltage. For example, 2.0 ohm clearo could be set around 4 volts, plus or minus a bit to taste. I follow this rule on my twist and have been okay, hopefully some one much more electrically inclined than I am could explain further.

 

[bilbobaggins30]

You need to know the resistance on your clearomizer, and then use this chart to get your voltage (safe range):

Hopefully this is a better image for you...

Damn... Link time.

There are tons of charts out there showing what voltage you should use with which resistance head resulting in a certain wattage. They're all different, the best thing to do is start as low as possible and work your way up in small increments until you find your sweet spot. You'll know right off the bat if you've gone too far, because the taste will become terrible. I would also recommend the VAMO. Batteries become useless eventually, a twist costs twenty some odd dollars to replace. But an 18350 or 18650 battery that fits into your VAMO (or any mod you choose) cost no more than eight dollars or so. It's extremely cost effective) after the initial 40 dollars or so for the device. Also, if your run the VAMO (or another mod)with 18350 or 18650 batteries and have two, you can always have one in the device and one in the charger(similar to a charger used for rechargeable AA's, only larger). No wait time necessary to vape

Eight watts is a good starting point. So enter eight watts, the ohms of your atomizer, and try the voltage this calculator gives you. If you aren't getting much flavor, or it tastes harsh or burnt, turn it down. If it's too sweet or you aren't getting enough vapor, turn it up.

While i would usually agree with this, it's been shown time and time again that even with a variable wattage device( where when you set your wattage you should theoretically get the same vape out of any device regardless of the resistance) that different devices react differently regardless of their resistance. For example, i can run my 2.4 ohm vivi nova at 12 Watts and get excellent flavor. If i use the same wattage on my 2.4 ohm kanger t3 however, i get nothing but burned taste until i bump it down to about five watts. That's why imo it's better to just start at the lowest setting and work your way up.

Very true, my personal taste is to start with what, electrically, should be about right.

 

[Pardonme]

I use Twists and Spinners. I couldn't imagine going back to 3.2 only versions. Would seem like the Dark Ages to me now...

 

[DesmondTheMoonbear]

A twist would definitely be a good starting point for getting into vv, but from my experience, you'll be looking to get into a nice mod within two weeks after getting your twist, so why not save yourself that extra twenty bucks to Get some great juice to use on your new mod? ;D

yeah the vv will give you better performance than an ego c. i own many ego twists and have just recently upgraded to a provari and wow what a difference. if you want the best vaping experience i would suggest getting a mod and ss mesh setup on a aga-t or similar rba.

 

[nicknack]

I starred with the ego twist was a great inexpensive way to dip your toes into the vv devices. Then went to a evic then recently broke down and got a provari.

 

[jcarax]

I did the same, but skipped the Evic. The Provari should be here Monday. Still though, just because you're likely to take another step up, doesn't necessarily mean you should skip the first step. It's a good learning experience, as well as a backup. Always have a backup, both in power and delivery.
