Has anyone had it and tried it out yet?
looks like a good starter for vv
Im under the impression that vaping dual coils maybe limited?

Lovely looking battery.
I tried it on DCT and really, too top heavy on the battery device, and battery consuming. Some might like it but I didn't. I'm using a 2.7Ohm carto (non-TW) on it and it's great; looks great and vapes a dream. Lasts three to four hours of really quite heavy vaping (1000mAh).
It's a very nice VV device but one I prefer on a higher ohm carto than on anything else. I use it for the odd spot of hv vaping. I would recommend it to anyone who'd like to try vv/hv but who doesn't want a large mod or large cost.

Not recommended with low resistance items then?

Yeah it's fine with a LR atomiser, it's just that you won't get the HV use as you can't set a high voltage with one. If you want one to use LR with the option of slapping a high res atty on when you feel like it, perfect.  Edit: what you can also get from a device like this is the ability to set one constant voltage for vaping whether that be a low or a high voltage... |

With the twist there would be no need for LR as LR was created to simulate high voltage vaping. With the twist you can get the same watts as LR without the LR atty by just upping the volts.

Received today, quite impressed.
Tried it on a nearly dead lr carto in the dct..... not a fan.However it did seem to bring it back to life a little. nothing lost as that was nearly dead anyway.
On the ego c with platinum mix its quite nice. I was surprised at how much difference it makes to flavour, vapor and th
A worthy investment in my opinion

Very nice boothe23, its very enjoyable. I find different flavors are better at different volts also. Glad your enjoying it.  |

New guy, and I'm already necro-posting. Yay me! LOL  Anywho, I just got one of the Twist kits, a spare battery, and couple of the Mega atomizer bodies (the ones with the replaceable heads) and a couple boxes of tank tips (clear and smokey.) Made up a fresh batch of Iron Brewed and filled up a tip to test it out. Really nice experience! I get really delicious draws and tons of vapor at right around 3.9-4.1v using that setup. I like the notion of having a variable voltage tank system that's extremely portable. Don't get me wrong, I love my Torpedo VVV, but it's like pulling a light saber out in the middle of a crowd. This is a perfect mobile alternative. |

I too have just taken delivery of the twist battery for use with my vaping arsenal, woooo, its looooong, lol (105mm to the button)...
ive tried it with the standard ego c atty and cone, its not bad at all, turn up the voltage and you seem to be able to draw easier, im new to VV so excuse my poor terminology but after an evening with it im not too sure VV is for me, on high voltage it does vape easier but with a slight burnt taste after a while, turn the voltage down all the way not so good, its like your using a nearly dead battery, so the sweet spot ive heard of appears to be around 3.7 - 4 volts, so in a way seems pointless as a normal battery is 3.7 volts, now i havent tried many different flavours yet so this is just my initial reaction to it, i may grow to love it, we'll see...
i tried it with a DCT, heeding warnings on here about staying under 4.2 volts, it seemed ok, im new to a DCT too so still learning....for the time being tho i prefer the DCT on my passthrough ego c battery.

so the sweet spot ive heard of appears to be around 3.7 - 4 volts, so in a way seems pointless as a normal battery is 3.7 volts,
A battery in a VVV or torpedo would run at 3.7 (maybe higher, 4.2?) dropping slightly as it goes, but an ego-c battery runs at 3.3v, those extra .4 to .7 make a whole lot of difference |

I'm actually running my DCTs on my twist at 3.2V lol. It seems perfect for them |

It seems perfect for them does running a twist battery on lower/lowest voltage make it last longer? i get the "lower ohm attys use more power" thing and i would assume that affects battery life, but has any1 done a comparison? so the sweet spot ive heard of appears to be around 3.7 - 4 volts, so in a way seems pointless as a normal battery is 3.7 volts,
A battery in a VVV or torpedo would run at 3.7 (maybe higher, 4.2?) dropping slightly as it goes, but an ego-c battery runs at 3.3v, those extra .4 to .7 make a whole lot of difference you quite right i'm sure, maybe i just havent been vaping long enough to really notice much difference, i will continue to use it, try it with different flavours etc, hopefully i will get it in time |

after several days with the twist, i thinks im getting it, the VV thing does make a difference, and i am liking it! only negative i find is that with rubbish eyesight i struggle to se the voltage setting on the twist mechanism, so i have no real idea of how many volts im using but my guess would be around 4 volts for several of the flavours i enjoy, great with the ego c atty

Other than what comes in the kit can you use the clearomiser with it and what about single or bottom coils? I have in a mad fit of buying bought much more than i budgeted for ah oh well. thats me. i cant afoord to smoke anymore haha. i think that is what i am doing really making it impossible to buy ciggies coz Tw has all me cash now  |

Hiya bumbleblue..... anything you can use with a standard Tornado you can use with a Twist battery.....but you won't get as much benefit from VV if you use LR atties or cartos as they are designed to simulate higher voltage vaping anyway so would burn out if run at much more than 4.2V.

Cheers StevieD, so what is normal or usual or whatever resistance? i am guessing 2.8 to 3 ohms? what happens with dual coil then does that double the resistance ? ooh its getting a bit complicated this resistance, ohm, volts thing.  i am sure i will get the hang of it  |

I'm sure you will soon get the hang of it.... with dual coils it actually halves the resistance so two 3 Ohm coils linked together gives a 1.5 Ohm resistance. Seems strange, but think of it as two hosepipes, because of the diameter you can only get so much water through one, but twice as much through two, so there is less resistance to the flow. I think of anything under 2 Ohm as Low Resistance, 2 - 3 Ohm as Standard Resistance and over 3 Ohm as High Resistance.
Hope this helps.
Happy vaping.
