Is it worth upgrading?

[willo65]

Hi all,

I am considering getting a MOD (I think this is the right term? Like a Vamo/provari?). My question is it worth upgrading?

I currently have an ego twist 1100mah and I have found that I am vaping much less than I used to smoke and the battery lasts me about 5 days. However I am unsure from what I've read if a MOD would result in a better vape etc or if it would just up the battery life?

If you think it is worth upgrading I am looking at a budget of around £50 so any suggestions on what would be a good setup would be welcome.

As always thank you all for any info you can give

Willo

I really can't see any benefit in upgrading in your case to be honest ... you already have variable voltage with the ego twist so can adjust it to find your "sweet spot" for any atty and juice that you use and you are getting superb battery life from the twist.

ETA: Your Twist is a MOD ...  A MOD is a mechanically operated device ie: you press a switch/button to operate it rather than the automatic type like the cig-a-likes which operate when you take a draw.

Mods do tend to give a slightly better vape. I certainly prefer both the MVP and the SID to my spinner, they have more ommph somehow.

If my spinner lasted me 5 days then I would probably never have upgraded, you obviously vape a lot less than I do

Vamos are the most popular low cost mod. Remember that you will need to get at least one battery and a charger to go with your mod which adds to the price. The MVP is about £40 and doesn't have replaceable batteries so I would look at that if I were you.

I found the SID a little difficult to get to know, certainly the spinner is simpler for a dimwit like me

Mods are quite a bit larger and heavier.

If you are looking for a better vape your atty can also have a big effect on things, so it may be worth trying some new ones of those too

I hope you find something perfect

I wouldn't bother. You're not a heavy user unlike so many of us here! If you want to improve the little vaping you do I'd suggest upgrading your clearo to a dual coil device like an iclear16 or an aspire bdc.

Not quite, a mod has separate batteries

If your happy with what you have that stay with it.
Id not the Vamo is a good choice and you can still use your attys till you want to upgrade them too.

Tease-smiley Nit Picker!   Now who was the smartypants who told me that in the first place

if a twist battery lasts you 5 days then an Innokin MVP will last you a month per charge - no exaggeration

Are you turning the twist to maximum volts, and still not getting the throat hit or strength of taste you'd like (and no burnt taste)? If you are then a Vamo (or whatever) will give you more volts, so more power, more taste, hit. If you aren't using max volts, then no, it won't.

In general, what you put on the battery makes more difference than the battery type, so your £50 might be better spent trying different clearos.

Mods really come into their own when you start to rebuild your own coils, particularly on an RBA, but that plus the mod will blow your budget.

What are you putting on the twist?

Thank you all for your replies, Giles I am using max voltage some times and it's not giving the throat hit or very strong taste apart from 1 flavour which I use on less voltage as it seems to have a very strong flavour.

I am currently using a ce4 and also a mini nova, I tried an evod clearo but really didn't like it (think it's the bottom coil I didn't like as it seemed to reduce the throat hit). I am still experimenting with liquids and have mainly pg/vg 50/50 so might look at increasing the vg on my next orders.

Any suggestions on clearos it would be worth looking at ? I know someone mentioned i16 and haven't had a chance to look at this yet but will probably give this a try.

The iClear 16s will certainly give you throat hit, they're juice guzzlers too but I like them

It may be worth thinking about an MVP if you really fancy upgrading as the charge will last ages even with a low ohm iClear. or just get a back up spinner or twist

The 16s are cheap here with free postage

Hi karma,

Thanks for your response, what does MVP stand for? And what does the difference in Ohms do in terms of the vape?

Thanks again
Willo

The lower the ohms the more throat hit. the higher the volts or the watts give the same result.

this is a nice wee battery as well, have a look round the vendors board as this may not be the best price

not sure if this will help or confuse re ohms but worth a look

I'd try an iclear (or you could get a dual coil head for your nova, but it does tend to rather fill up the mini). Get low ohms.
