Will these work on a E-Go Twist?

[Britches]

"Vision eGo Clearomizer - Low Resistance" I have used the regular Resistance before on the EGO C and I really like them, I think they work great but not sure about the Low Resistance on the Twist. I usually use about 3.8V to 4.2V

The low resistance carto (less than 2 ohms) will most likely (I don't own one) overload the eGo twist at anything higher than 4.2 volts. If the LR carto is 1.5 to 1.6 ohms then 4.0 volts is about as high as you should go. You should be able to get by with lower if you are used to regular resistance on an eGo-C.

I'm sure some folks will try 1.5 ohms at as high a voltage as possible wit the twist.

According to the My Freedom Smokes website they are "Resistance Rated 2.1-2.4 Ohms at the coil" Is that not considered Low resistance?

Thanks

There are many definitions of Low Resistance for cartos and attys.

Back when I started a Joye 510 atty was 2.2 to 2.4 ohms. That was normal for a little 510.
The 901 atty was about 2.8 ohms, normal for the 901.

Then the dual coils came and LR meant 1.5 to 1.6 ohms (forget about the 1.25 ohm ones )
Even 1.7 ohm single coils are "LR". There is even a 1.6 ohm EMDCC that is sold to work on eGos. I would not use these on the twist at elevated voltage.

Using LR, SR, HR is sort of non-descriptive. One vendor's LR might be another's SR.
MFS's recommendation for 2.1 - 2.4 ohms should be acceptable for the twist (They know their stuff).
Call it LR if you must

Thanks Rocketman
But do you think they will work O.K. on a Twist at the voltage I specified? or should I try to find some regular resistance ones. MFS seems to be out of stock but I will buy from somebody else if you think there might be a problem. I really like them. I just wish that the bottom of them would screw on rather then push on, so I don't have to walk around like I have a piece of fine China in my hands. (HAHA)
Thanks Again

If you find a reasonable voltage to vape at, they should work fine. It when you try to push the limits that things fail.
Again, I don't have a twist, but running them a little higher than a normal eGo is what is intended with the twist.
The 2.1 to 2.4 ohms at the coil, and 3.0 ohms at the base, indicates some lead resistance inside the carto.
It's the really low resistance cartos like 1.5 to 1.7 ohms, especially when vaped hard that cause problems.
I'm waiting on an evaluation unit for the wife (she vapes eGos) to see how they perform.
Let us know what you think after using yours.

With the regular resistance ones, I think they are perfect, like I said MFS is out of stock and need to get some more. I also Vape Un Flavored NIC juice which I find just as satisifying as a regular Cig. and really don't care for all they flavors for the most part. It also makes my atomizers last forever. Thanks for all your help. I will get some of the low resistance ones ordered and see how they are

I've been using LR Visions (the same ones from MFS, in fact) on my Twist for a week now with no problems whatsoever. I don't know that I've been cranking it up above 4.2 much, though. 3.8-4.0 tends to be my sweet spot, depending on the juice.
