I have Ego-t 650 batteries, Boge cartos, clearos & Mini nova, Also I have a few sd keyrings. But what's next ? I don't really want to end up having hundreds of different set ups. 50% of the time I am not getting the flavour I expect from my liquid I am using an excellent menthol but half the time I am getting a slightly unpleasant kind of plasticy taste then later in the day the full flavour comes through and I think it's sorted... Until the next day. Weird. I was changing back and forth from my Boge to my clearo as they both seem to satisfy at times then drop flavour even if I keep them topped up. When I bought the mini nova I expected some kind of miracle but it didn't happen I want a constant flavour with a lot more vapour. What battery and with what atty is the best set up please ? I don't really want to head into the building of wires etc as I am a bit nervous of this but if it's that much better I will consider it.

What about trying variable voltage? Works for me when I want a bit more omph from my vape If you got an Ego Twist it would be compatible with the charger you have for the ego t and the cartos etc

Am I correct in saying the twist only goes to 4.2 ? I want to be able to "turn the dial to 11" I didn't want to mention products as I would have preferred for the replies to be unbiased by my posts but I have been looking at the provari mini. I would rather buy the mod that I will be happy using permanently rather than buying them on a regular basis and always "chasing the vape" so to speak. And of course looking back over the months to see the amount of money I would have spent pointlessly.

I have a Provari and have never turned it up past 4.8 except as an experiment.

Same here Oneday, even with a 3.0ohm carto or something, I never go higher than about 4.5. These high voltage vapers must have lungs of steel

I agree with Karma. The higher voltage you get with vv will definitely give you more flavour, particularly with sweet/fruit, and the easiest & cheapest next step is the twist.
If you want more volts than a twist you are into something that takes 18650 batteries (or similar) I have a tin mod from Garry Dibley which is great but a little idiosyncratic. Review at ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK :: General Vaping discussions :: Reviews :: Garry Dibley's vv tin mod
Otherwise a lavatube, gripper, silver bullet, the much venerated and astonishingly expensive provari.
You could also try changing your vaping technique. I think Grizwald did a post. If you keep your mouth open to the side when you inhale, so that you breathe in some air around the vapour. It seems to help, as does exhaling through the nose.
VG juices will give you more vapour. Less throat hit, but again if you dial up the volts you can compensate for that.
But if the taste varies during the day, I suspect the problem is with you, not your kit or technique. Maybe something your are eating, maybe you are getting a cold.
But maybe it's just the taste bud change that seems to hit a lot of people, usually about 1 month in.

Same here Oneday, even with a 3.0ohm carto or something, I never go higher than about 4.5. These high voltage vapers must have lungs of steel I'd quite happily use 30 volts - but with a 14 ohm atty/carto. It's not about the voltage, it's about the wattage - sure, voltage has a lot to do with that, but so does the resistance of your chosen atomiser. My advice is to forget voltage and go for power control - think in watts (as you do with light bulbs), and it all becomes much simpler. It's the way forward, seriously.

I agree Hifi, I use Oneday's wattage chart for all the new coils I build

Thanks Giles, I've been looking at Gary's mod, it does look quite interesting

Depends on the juice and the resistance of your atty oneday.
I do turn my mod up beyond 5 volts, but not with an LR atty. So if you stick to LR maybe 4.8 is plenty.
I was smoking for 50 years ellen. Steel is like marshmallow compared to my lungs.
