This is simply my opinion based on my experience between these two models. This is an effort to help keep others from making the same mistake I did. When originally deciding between the two, I chose the Vision Spinner 1300mah because I am a moderate-heavy vapor and I figured the extra time between charges would defer the fact that joyetech (who makes the eGo Twist) is more reputable overall than Vision. So, when I first received my Spinner, I loved it. The battery lasted me about 80% of my day before needing recharged. Thankfully, I still had a couple kGo batteries to back me up. The variable voltage was nice since I use an array of atomizers with different resistances. Then, a very fortunate thing happened: I dropped it on the floor. It was only from about 2 feet and it fell on to a thick carpet. From this moment on, it quit working. Why was this a fortunate thing, you ask?? It led me to my next purchase. I found a great shop near me (ecig emporium in Elyria, OH), and they carry the eGo Twists. So, I purchased the 1000mah version. Now I see the true difference. Even lacking 300mah, it lasts me BEYOND a full day. The voltage is stronger, even at the same respective settings as I had my Spinner at. It's not anything DIFFERENT than the Spinner was, it just performs as the Spinner SHOULD HAVE. Long story short, if ANYBODY wants my opinion, here it is: Spend the extra couple bucks, go with the eGo Twist, and thank me later!!
