Times have changed... Need some help.

[OB1J3D1]

Hi All,

I relapsed to analogs for a while but I'm ready to start vaping again and get off of these smelly sticks.

I currently have an eGo-T (type A) 650mah setup with some extra parts and a stash of juice. I am looking to upgrade or bring my current equipment up to speed since it seems the industry has come a long way in my absence and my current setup is not working optimally... I need some guidance.

Some background info:
-I am comfortable with an eGo sized and shaped device. Not so much with the larger box mods. But I could go a bit bigger.
-I like the tank style systems. I do not like the older style cartridges with the polyfill.
-I am interested in VV and am curious about the eGo Twist and Twist C. What is the difference?
-I am willing to carry a small kit daily (one complete, an extra battery, an extra atomizer/carto/clearo/whatever, and juice)
-I am concerned with leaking since I tend to use darker colored juices and don't wear the cheapest clothing to work.
-I like cinnamon / menthol flavors. I hear Cinnamon tends to damage tanks???
-I do hope to be able to use my existing equipment as backup / emergency. But, I'm open to a completely new device if it's that much better.
-I am like a newbie again in the scene in terms of these devices. But pretty experienced with terminology, juice, nic levels etc.

Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated!

You could try variable voltage. The eGo Twist is probably the least expensive way to try it. Genuine Joye eGo Twists come in 650 and 1000mah. Clones come in other mah. And your current stuff will work with them, as they are 510/eGo battery connections. They are longer than a standard eGo battery. Next up would be a lava tube, but they are noticeably larger than an eGo, and they are also variable voltage.

The ego twist and the twist C are actually one and the same. It's the newer generation of egos that now come with better protection than the orignals did after that guy blew his face up with his homemade crappy mod. The twist is a great way to go, I have 2 of them. They do tend to break pretty easy from my experience though. I haven't had one last longer than a month or two, but that's just me. That's why I got my VAMO (see my avatar picture). It's VV and VW vaping, that has the 510/ego connector. There are plenty of similar devices out there though. This is just one of the many. You'll probably get a ton of posts saying "choose this, it's the bestest!" or "you should use this, it's way better than ANYTHING". But honestly, go with what makes you feel comfortable. There are TONS of posts out there just like yours. All you need to do is read Best of luck to you though, glad you decided to come back from the dark side.

An 1100 eGo VV or 1300 Spinner VV may be what you need. A Kanger T3 bottom coil tank or mini-nova could work also, both have heads/coils that can be replaced. The T3 is cheaper in price than the Nova.

I personally wouldn't get anything less than 1100mah for a new battery. The EGO's are a nice size, not much bigger than a stick bat and a lot smaller than a mod. I don't like the EGO carts myself, had problems with them, but a tank would be a nice addition. I love tanks! Fill it, vape it, and enjoy!

Another option, if reading would be too much (and the MASS amount of information on here, I wouldn't blame you in the least), visit a local vape store if you have one. They should be able to show you some of the most popular products, that you can touch and sometimes taste. I'd start there personally.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty set on a new Twist battery. But it's all the new tanks carts/cartos/clearos that have me confused. What should I put on top of a twist? I probably wont need more than 2ml. So nothing crazy big.

Which is newer? Twist or Twist C?

I do not have a local Vape store - at least not one with anything of quality.

Well, the "C" egos came out before the twist, and all egos foreverafter will all be the "C". So when the twist came out, it was a "C". So you're probably just seeing people calling them different things, when in fact, they're the same battery.

Kanger T3; Mini-Nova; rebuildable CE4/5. All hold from 1.8 to 2.5ml of juice. Google the names and you will see pics of each. You can not replace the drip tip on the T3, you can replace the tip on the Nova and CE4/5.

To give personal experience here. I have the eGo Twist with a 2.0ml ViVi Nova in my hand right now with some cinnamon red hots in it. These seem to handle the cinnamon very well. They don't discolor or crack so far. I have been using the same one for 2 months now. I will say that I have to clean the heads more often with the cinnamon in it than I do in the with other Novas I use with different flavors.
