My 2nd Vision Spinner just broke, guess it's time for an upgrade..

[M_DuBb716]

Well my 2nd Vision Spinner just broke, button somehow got stuck inside the battery-tube (typical problem) and I can't get it out.. Only one half of the button is stuck inside the battery, but this sucks, I can't move it around to get it out. I don't know how this happened either, I haven't dropped it or had it in my pocket today..

It's a green 1300mah Variable-Voltage, the one the broke today was actually my 1st battery and it's had this same problem before but the store I got it from fixed it for free with my receipt; I doubt they'd fix it again passed warranty.
.... My last Vision Spinner that broke a few weeks ago was actually given to me as a backup from a friend, the button was also stuck in it and he said I could keep it if I got it fixed which I did (same store fixed it again, another reason why I don't want to ask them a 3rd time to repair). But the button got stuck inside this backup (black Spinner) a 2nd time and the store couldn't fix it for me, they actually short-circuited it trying to repair, so this backups collecting dust in my drawer..


Something you guys can probable help me with if possible - helping me choose a new battery to upgrade too?? Maybe it's time for a mod and/or APV?
... I'm about 80% sure I'm going to go with the eVic, a buddy got one and it's phenomenal.. A little big/chunky for me, but I'll probably get my broken Spinner fixed, to use as a new backup to take out with me. I was checking out the Zmax too and a few others..

This is just horrible timing, my car just broke down so I've been shopping for a new one, had to pay 2 hefty fines this month for getting points on my license a few years back, and have traffic court again tomorrow morning. Not much $$ coming in right now either - horrible timing!!

And to top it off, my ProTank shattered about a week ago so I've been stuck using T2's for the past week. I just got my new ProTank (and a new flavor to go with it) and just got home excited to finally use it again, and my battery breaks.. I seem to have the worst luck sometimes

Backups for your backups......

Evic is a solid device. If you're on a super-tight budget though, take a look at the Vamo. One of the cheapest and most reliable Chinese tube mods out there. You can get an entire kit including a great charger and two great batts for around 50 bucks from fasttech.

Yupp, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an eVic though.. I've been eying them up for awhile now. I may even get a real Vision Spinner, the first 2 I had were actually a different brand, but exactly the same battery. Same dimensions, same voltage-range/spinner, exactly the same inside and out, I even heard they were made in the same factory - the one's I had just had a different logo (SmooV instead of Vision)..

I can get another Spinner (my 3rd one lol) for $25 online from DV, I paid $45 for my knockoff-Spinner at my vape store. I can get the broken 1 fixed for a backup.
... My only pet-peeve with the eVic and other APV's and mods is how frickin BIG they are - I don't even like pulling out my Spinner at the bar or other public places because of how big it is and everyone looking at me. the eVic is even bigger.

I feel it wouldn't grip in my hand as well as my Spinners/Ego's did, definitely wouldn't look as good with a T2/evod on it, and I don't think I'd be able to grip my steering wheel and eVic in the same hand while turning in my car like I do (often) with my Spinner, with how wide it is. And it just looks soo BIG

Thanks for the quick reply though, retrox!

... My only pet-peeve with the eVic and other APV's and mods is how frickin BIG they are -

Agreed! Even though I use an eGo most of the time I like to have a few 510s around. They're unobtrusive and convenient, even if you can't put a clearo on 'em.

So I just went ahead and bought the eVic kit at my local vape store.. I was lucky, they had the kit at a vape store nearby for the same exact price that I would've paid online ($104), and I didn't have to wait for shipping. A guy in the store had an eVic too and he actually gave me a quick run-through of the shortcuts and such when he saw I was buying one, that was nice!

But I've had the eVic for less than a half hour and a few things are already bugging me.. The first thing I noticed is that when I screwed on my T2 clearo (ProTank was at home), the draw was incredibly tight unless I loosened it a bit, which in turn makes the T2 wobble a bit when screwed on my eVic.. For what I payed, I feel like the threading and build should be perfect!

I also wanted to get the kit with a black-tube, but was told the kit only came in the silver color - although I can buy the black battery tube to replace it for only $15, discount vapers offered the kit in black online.. And one more; the thing is just too darn big and heavy!! hopefully I get used to this..

It's funny. I've been using big battery mods for a few months now and I'm use to its size. When I see an ego battery it looks weird to me. Especially when I see someone with a Protank or a vivi nova on it.

You can never have enough backups that's for sure!
