Wanted to say Hi! New member with some questions.

[PTFD243]

Hello. My name is Tyler and I'm fairly new to vaping. I started off with the standard ego 650 mAh batteries with a smok DCT and was pretty impressed. I recently upgraded to a vision twist 1300 mAh and had a few questions! Should I be able to tell a huge difference in 3.8 and 4.8 volts? It seems like it just makes the vape a little hotter but doesn't change the flavor or vapor production. I'm using 3.0 ohm dual coil cartomizers.

Also a question about atomizers. What are the better ones out nowadays? I've been eyeballing a Vision vivi Nova for a while now but some of the reading I have done on here has kind of scared me away from them.

hi there, i usually adjust voltage or wattage to my taste, i start off low and increase until it tastes right. we all know taste is subjective, so i won't get into that lol. this is def. an awesome forum for information.

You should be able to tell in the vapor production but I have had some juice that I could not it seemed about the same untill I got the volts up higher and got a burnt taste

Like 22250man said, it really depends on the juice and the tank or carto you're using. You'll really have to experiment with some different combos to see a difference.

Welcome to our forum!

As the posters above me have said, changing the voltage for any particular juice may or may not affect the flavor. The interpretaion of juice flavor is so open to discussion and subjective to each individual that it's often not productive to even discuss it.

First off, the 3.0 ohm carto is an excellent choice for the voltage range of your Ego battery. It will allow use of the full voltage range of the Twist. With each new juice flavor, start out low and work the voltage up higher until you start to detect some burnt flavor, then back down the voltage a little. Vape each juice at voltage that you determine that it tastes best at.

This is just from my own experience. I have found that most of the fruit flavors are best used at low voltage (3.4-3.7 volts). My coffee flavors taste better in the mid-range (4.0-4.6 volts). I have a couple of spicey or cinnamon flavors that I like in a higher range (4.5-5.0 volts. Your results might very well vary from mine.

Also note that your ability to accurately judge flavors might be off. Years of smoking have most likely damaged your taste buds. They will heal after quitting smoking, but might take a matter of weeks to months. This is a variety of what we call Vapor's Tongue. What can help you to better taste flavors is to exhale some of your vapor through your nose, as our sense of smell assists the sense of taste.

Be sure to drink PLENTY of water. This helps detox our bodies of all the chemicals accumulated from smoking, and also helps prevent dry mouth which also affects ability to taste. The juices we use pull water from our bodies, so that loss must be adequately replaced.

Hi , from personal experience the vivi nova is really good I particularly like the part that after the atty head dies out you could always buy a new one for a few bucks.

Voltage usually has little to do with flavor, at least directly.

There is also a cap off for everything. Whatever voltage you use, there is a maximum limit to how much vapor you get, provided the wick setup and juice composition stays the same.

All I can say is 1) heed any advice baditude gives u and 2) there's a link in my sig link (suggestions) that's to the best 306 atomizer I've found and believe me I've tried A LOT. Also happens to be the cheapest...go figure

Welcome to the forum btw

I sometimes don't find much difference in flavor with higher voltage but I always notice more throat hit. For me some change a bit in taste while others don't. That's what's great about VV. You can adjust it to your hearts desire.

This statement is arguable. Why would variable voltage devices be of pratical use if at least one of their attributes was not to improve the flavor of some juices? Your statement does not provide any accuracy to improve a new vapor's understanding of variable voltate.

One of the chief reasons for using variable voltage is indeed to help improve flavors.

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

I agree with Baditude. For fruit juices I typically like to vape at ~7 watts. But if I'm vaping something like Boba's Bounty I like to vape at at least 8 watts. Why? Because if I vape Boba's at 7 watts the vapor feels a bit chalky. As you turn up the voltage and increase the heat the vapor becomes a bit more creamy. Of course taste is subjective. What I like to vape at 8 watts you may like at 6. As a matter of fact I used to hate Bobas when I just had an Ego C and vaping at 5 watts. Tasted like I was vaping a mushy bran muffin.
