Go to infoZOne, i recall theres a terriffic write up about voltage. you can dig as deep as you're ready to go.
In short- if you're vaping tobacco PG/VG blends, they can fire at a hotter rate and less resistance (1.8).
if you are leaning toward VG or sweets you may need more resistance, and cooler firing= 2.5. (hopefully this hasnt offended any of the ECF
veterans) It can get complicated. The general rule is start low voltage/watts and work your way up. Youre looking for a "Sweet spot"
The settings which produce the comfortable TH & Vape output for you at the right taste without burning.

GOT MY VAPE MAIL TODAY :mail:

Envelope was soaked in one corner :mad:

opened it and everything was soaked with e-liquid so after cleaning it all off and left with just under a half of Dekang juice it all looks good :)


QUESTION 1: about the Ego Twist battery.

I have put it on charge using my existing charger the USB one

1291006-3-thumb.jpg

When i charge my normal ego batteries the light stays RED while charging then green once charged but when charging the TWIST battery the light flashed from RED to GREEN continuously.

What does this mean?




QUESTION 2:

The Twist battery has 3.2V to 4.8 then markers in between.

I have 2 different heads now:

Clearomizer Coil Heads For Kanger Protank (5-Pack) - 1.8-1.9Ω

Clearomizer Coil Heads For Kanger Protank (5-Pack) - 2.1-2.2Ω


I'm clueless now! all these voltages and ohms!!

What goes with what?! lol

You have to be careful with chargers... using the wrong one can be a big mistake (batteries leaking, potentially exploding, fires).

I know when i switched from auto batteries to manual I had to buy a new charger because although they looked the same and the fit was the same, the output was different and it could have damaged the battery. I would check it out or ask the vendor where you bought it if the charger is safe to use on your twists to be sure.

You should be fine to use any voltage on your twist with either of those heads. I find with my protank that about 3.7V is fine with 2.8ohms, and i turn it down to about 3.3V for 1.8ohms. Over 4V and i dont like the taste i get from protanks with the heads you are talking about. Give it a try above 4V and see what you think. The lower resistance heads should give more vapour, and perhaps stronger TH & flavour, but i dont notice a massive difference personally. Other devices with a 1.8ohm coil seem to give loads of extra vapour, but for some reason when using vivi novas and protanks i cant tell that much difference.

Edit: Re-read what someone else had said further back in the thread and perhaps you cant use the twist for both those heads.... Perhaps someone can confirm

What eliquid are you using in the plastic tasting evod they are polycarbonate tanks and some liquids dissolve polycarb off the top of my head cinnamon and some fruit flavours are very bad in polycarbonate tanks. I'm vaping on a budget and opted for smoktech pyrex dct tanks so I didn't have to worry about what juice I used.

With the new hypertank out. New protank. Iclear30. Boge and many other tanks out there which is the best?

I want big flavours. Atm i only have an ego 1100 battery but will eventually get the vamo. Regarding the hypertank. If it takes same coil heads as protank how can it be much different?

I am not on a position to buy a load of different tanks as i just dont have the income :( so want to invest in something that i can use now and when i upgrade to vamo

I have had protank, currently got protank 2 and davide glassomiser - I've had no leaking at all with the davide and it's a bit cheaper than the protanks, takes the same heads as them, you do need a needle point bottle to fill though.
As for difference of hypertank to protank using same heads, no idea and I've not tried the hypertank rate it but having heard good things the fact it can hold 5ml juice means you'd have to fill less - though I reckon it'd look a bit top heavy on your current batts, the davide and protanks both come with beauty rings so wouldn't look bad on what you've got.
If I were you it'd be between the protanks and the davide - having got both, I rate the davide slightly better as its just as good IMO but cheaper.
