    There's a Joytech fully adjustable regulated VV ego battery on the way. Ego batteries are all i carry around, out and about. A VV version would be cool...3.2V - 4.8V...

    The fact that this thing delivers under load is insanely cool.

    pretty cool

    i wonder what the battery life is at 4.8v though... i'd imagine sfa but still.. handier than a lavatube for a night out

    Yep, saw this on the Joyetech website a couple weeks ago....

    650mAh @ 4.8v....definately a night out device, but still cool! :)

    yeah id imagine it's a 650mah, the other variable volt ego form battery is the same sizwe as a 1100mah but is only 650. all that added circuitry has to go somewhere

    Looks very promising, a shop in Germany was selling the 900 mAh for €30. Looks like there will be a 1000 mAh one too.
    Probably only a couple of euro in the difference between them when they are widely available.

    I think my eGo VV is 1000mAh. It's bigger than my 1000mAh eGo's alright.

    This is basically the same as the Ego or Tornado booster which retails for about €55.
    This has a better voltage range so €30 is a good deal as far as I'm concerned - will buy a couple of these when they're available.

    4.8 volts is certainly good enough for most things.

    yeah 4.8 seems to be sweet enough...i rarely go over 4.5 volts on the Lavatube to be honest! :)

    yeah I'd pick one up too, be handy to have a variable voltage backup for my variable voltage backup and if they work well they'd be a good starter point for people interested in VV

    someone over on ukvapers put up a review of theirs

    said he got around 9 hours vape from the 650mah at 3.8v, that's pretty great

    one of the irish sites sells them
    bargain vapour maybe?

    I had one before, and someone else here got one. they're decent batteries, worth having tbh althoughu they are unregulated iirc. so you start off on the higher setting of 4.2v, but as the battery drains the voltage drops.
    the ego-c twist is regulated im pretty sure but it'll also be more expensive.

    both are decent enough batteries to get a quick feel for variable voltage vaping

    Yeah, I bought one of the eGo-VV 1100mAh batteries from Bestecig.ie.

    Works pretty well and lasts quite a long time alright but it's a bit too big lengthwise for me. Also has all these LED's that I dont like either - like a flippin Christmas tree.

    As Sir Digby says though, it did give me an experience with VV for < 20 Euros.

    650, hopefully it'll have a reasonable battery life up towards the 4V mark..

    Just spotted this on the Heavens-gifts site...

    Not much vaping time at 4.8V on the 650mah, ~12mins of actual vaping time...or maybe i can't multiply anymore :o

    hrm
    4 second puff, 5 second wait..
    so about 9 seconds in between puffs
    7 puffs is 63 seconds.. so I guess 7 puffs a minute?

    200/7 = 28
    ive forgotten what im doing here
    oh
    28 minutes non stop vaping..
    I think

    yeah, I was measuring actual firing time. Your calcs are about the same...they just include the 5 sec wait between each fire...

    Not brilliant either way, was never gonna be great at 4.8v though...

    Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    yeah, plus you're not going to be chain vaping 4 second drags every 5 seconds :)

    real life useage would prob be 2-4 hours I guess, not great but not terrible either

    seems like it'd be a good enough device for 4 volt vaping though, on a night out with an LR carto/atty

    Love the twist! It's the first variable voltage battery i've used, so i can't compare it, but it seems good to me. Not too bothered about the extra size. Love the way i can tailor the voltage to get the perfect amount of vapour and throat hit

    Got one of these for my sister yesterday, she's over the moon with it.

    Started using it yesterday @ 2pm, and when i left her last night @ 1am, it was still vaping away with no drop off. pretty good from a 650mAh battery.

    Are they much different than the eGo VV that has the 3 settings? Or is it just that it has more increments?

    Completly different, the voltage isn't set by a button(like on the ego vv's) you twist the bottom of this one anywhere from 3.2 all the way to 4.8v

    I'll keep this updated with her daily useage as much as i can to give people an idea.

    She loves it so much she's selling her Lavatube, to fund another twist. so it's that good!
    haha

    To be fair, the LT was a bit masculine for her!

    One thing i've noticed about the twist, the outer threads are not the same as a regular ego.

    Slightly annoying as it means my ego cone, or Smoktech DCT eGo thread cover won't screw onto it....

    Hi,

    got 2 of em, both work fine with the cone for me.
    I absolutely love em, best 21 euro x 2 spent in a while.
    Also size wise its just a tad bit bigger then a standard 900mah battery.
    Its a bit bigger then expected but still tiny compared to my LT.
    I so far love it and LT stays home for now.

    :D:):p
