Hi guys, Since I am using the ego twist and they are no longer available because of their INCREDIBLE price increases across the board and many vendors are dropping them like hot potatoes, I have a question. Anyone have any good advice on a variable voltage battery??
I think he means a battery unit similar to the eGo Twist. Take a look at the Vision Spinner, it's widely available.
Exactly what I meant, thank you both for your quick response. I truly appreciate it. I will check out the Vision Spinner.
Welcome, hope it works well for you. The Spinners are a bit nicer than the eGo Twists. I believe those go up to 6V where the Twists only go up to 4.8V. Though like the Twists, you want to use an atomizer with higher resistance, 2.4 Ohms is ideal for them.
4.8v is the highest spinner goesthey are shorter and fatter than big mah ego twist by an inch
Thank you very much.
Looks like I was wrong about that. I thought it was the Spinners, but they're only 4.8V like the Twists. Here's the one I was talking about.You wouldn't be able to hack a Spinner or Twist to increase voltage since that's something at the very base of the design. Even if you could change something simple like a resistor to raise the voltage cap, the regulator would probably fail to do it.
Mine will fire a 1.2 ohm coil really well @3.7v, I burned up the pos wire doing that but with a little rewire it is an amazing unit.. The board tracers are so small I think they are to go next but I shorted it out putting it back together after I fixed it the second time..
That's why I do my own boxes, mine can put out 9 Amps no problem (@4.0V for 36W). According to the data PBusardo posted on the Twist, it falls down on the job at 1.5 Ohms meaning it tops out about 9 Watts. It's enough power for most people, but if you want to run with higher power and/or lower resistance a Twist is not the device to use. I'm sure the device I linked to before has similar limitations.
Is that an OKr chip or something else? I have the 4050c incoming already have the 8100 unused.
I use a boost converter of my own design, voltage range 4.0 to 7.4V with output capped at 36 Watts. The design is based on the Texas Instruments TPS43000 DC-DC converter controller. I've posted my builds here in the forum.If you want big power with an off-the-shelf converter, I would suggest the OKR-T/10 with dual series cells. That's a step down converter rather than a boost converter.
