I just received my first mod, the vamo v3. a very nice step up from the ego twists I've been using for awhile now. I have figured out all my settings and found my "sweet spot" but was just curious if anyone knew what wattage the ego twists perform at, as I think it would be a nice reference for me moving forward with my new vv/vw vamo. thanks
wattage for an ego twist vv?

Watts are a function of volts and resistance (ohms) so it is going to vary based on the ohms of your coil. Use a calculator like this one to find out the watts for any particular coil you use. Ohm's and Joule's Law Calculator
(fill the volts and ohms boxes, leave the other 2 blank and hit calculate.)
I am sure there are other calculators available and some will post links.

As a seat of the pants guess based on its performance, not lab measurements, a twist will deliver about 8 to 10 watts max.
Watts delivered also depends on the internal resistance of the battery itself and current carrying capacity of the electronics in the device. I think OP wants to know the practical limit of what it can deliver.
yea basically, and I like your " seat of the pants guess" makes sense to me. I do understand all the variables and that's about what I was looking for the "practical limit"
thanks for that link, I haven't seen that before. I was more or less just trying to figure what it's ( ego twist) normal operating wattage might be using let's say a 2.4 atty set at 4.4 on my twist. that would be a general setting on my old twist set up. I'm gonna play with that calculator now thanks!

sorry for dbl post but forget the ole reply with quote option......
That is all true, but in this case the voltage noted is a post processing voltage so those factors are already allowed for. I have not seen a schematic for the twist battery so have no clue about the level of voltage regulation or quality of the components. I was only giving the OP a quick and easy way to roughly know what he is running at given a set voltage and semi-known ohms. For his needs this is "seat of the pants" good enough.
AFAIK, the Twist is limited to 2.5 amps. The watts that turns into will be determined by the resistance. If you set it for more than it can put out, it gives you the maximum it's capable of without telling you it's doing that.
