Thank you guys! I think I overall like the Twist aesthetically (I somehow think the longer, skinner battery flows into the Protank II better than a thick battery that gets thin in the middle then fat again) but if the Spinner has a low-battery alert, and had those markings on the bottom (the lines), I think I'll be purchasing a Spinner. Cheaper too!

On Discount Vapors, though, the picture of the Spinner just has numbers, no lines. Is this the sign of being a clone or older model?

I ordered mine from Discount VapErs (two totally different sites) and it appears he says something is not genuine. I'm a fan. My Spinner comes today yay!

While the Twists hold a special place in my heart, the general 33% mark-up all across the board joyetech's about to spring on us, the Spinners are becoming a much more viable option.

The 33% price increase on Joyetech is a fact. It has already happened with the faster moving Chinese sites who move stock within days rather than the slower moving US sites who are still selling older stock. The ERoll at fasttech went from $45 to about $70 overnight, the eVic went from about $65 to $98 at the same time. HealthCabin announced they would no longer stock genuine Joye products due to the increase and now only stock generics (there is a clearance sale on some Joye stock but no batteries, more tanks and cones etc).

I like the look of that Mini Zmax. You happy with it?

The 1300 mah Spinner is fatter than most Ego's it is also not much longer than a 650 mah ego.

Not really a big photo, but the 1300 mah Spinner is setting between an Ego 650 mah and Sigelei Mini Zmax. It has a 3.5 ml Vivi Nova on it with a large tank beauty ring. Just about the same as the Protank skirt. The ring blends right in at the button area and the bottom of the Vivi Nova. The button area on the Spinner is the same width as the 650. So it may look top heavy because of the bigger tank, but the transition from the Spinner to the tank should be fairly smooth.

Wow! That's a pretty big jump. That's disappointing since I really like joyetech products.

That's scary news that 2 of your Spinners have died! I have horrible luck with vaping - I've been trying to vape for years now and every single kit I ever buy breaks a week later, or the shipping always gets lost with no refund. Even just this month, my Blu kit breaks 6 says after purchase, 8 of the cartos burnt, one battery not even working out of the box, I order a twist from Fasttech, stuck in Hong Kong for two straight weeks and won't be in for another month afterward, i buy a protank ii and the much cheaper protank ii mini comes out a day later... its all horrible luck. so i hope the spinners usually hold up...

That's a bummer.....Hopefully you WILL have better luck with a Vision Spinner. I have 2 1300's. I have been using them daily for 9 months. I have never owned a Twist so really can't compare them but am very happy that I chose spinners.

So, after more horrible luck with my bank card having a glitch meaning I wouldn't be able to use it for anything strictly online-based for another week (what gives with my horrible luck?), I marched my .... down the atm and had to throw another $6 out the window to take money out of the atm and buy a visa gift card. Luckily, thank god, my order went through on DV and now I (hopefully) have a Spinner, protection-based charger, and wall adapter on the way. (It'll probably get caught up in a mail truck explosion, who knows....) All in all, I wasted exactly $22 on this whole ordeal with extra clones and chargers. Fasttech should refund me ALL of that for their dishonest business (they didn't warn customers of the current situation until AFTER everyone finally figured it out). However, I guess I now either have a back-up, or I can sell the extra stuff.

Great thread. I'm kind of a noob and I'm still using my fixed power STAM knock-offs. I'm going to upgrade to vv and want to keep a couple of eGo batts around for camping and running around. I'm fond of my lanyards and mobile charge gear. Does the standard eGo lanyard fit the larger spinners?

Yes, it will fit just fine.

I'm praying my Spinner will be here in the morning. I paid $6 for priority shipping (probably won't do anything) but DV had my last order to me on the 3rd day after the day I ordered (ordered on first morning, waited the next morning, waited the next morning, then it came) so hopefully it'll knock a day off - I'm so fed up with cigarettes but I can't go an hour without smoking something.

Only thing after that is dealing with the Protank II (which since many people experience leaking with it, mine will probably have some huge faulty hole) and trying out my MOV NET juice (which some have reported a strong perfumey alcohol taste in odd batches from this company, so mine will probably be pure vodka) but I'm hoping for the best! At least I already have the juice and tank.
