haha Good Ole Memories! I couldn't wait to get my bowl of cereal and sit in front of that TV every Saturday morning. We had some great cartoons then.
well guess im going to take a break and do a lil work ..since thats what I get paid to do and since I cant take this lag any more..so good night if you are going to sleep if not I will be back in a hr or so to see if ecf is working better
hahaha Funny, it doesn't take long. So many tasty flavors to chose from. I think I bought over 10 bottles of juice the very first day I bought my kit. Soon, I'll have to clean out the kitchen to make more room for juices. LOL
SMURFS was my favorite!! Love those little blue people. haha and Night Night if I nod off. You've been awesome. Thank you for all the help and the great convo. I enjoyed both.
There are advantages to Variable Wattage.
Variable Wattage leaves Variable Voltage in the dust. Aside from a recessed device like the Kick where you have to crack open the unit to change the Wattage. The Variable Wattage devices have Power up and Power down just like Variable volt. So if you have it on variable wattage setting and you want a hotter vape you just raise the wattage and that will work to raise the voltage.
So Variable Wattage does everything that Variable Voltage does, the advantage is that it will compensate for changes in the Ohms of the clearomizer. When a Clearomizer Coil or a Cartomizer Coil age eventually they will go bad. If you use it long enough it'll short circuit.. As they age the Ohms will go up [Generally]. The advantage to Variable Wattage is that it constantly checks the Coil and will lower the voltage automatically as the Carto ages. Or if the Ohms of the Carto/Clearo change than it'll compensate.
By the way sometimes it works the opposite way. You put a Clearo/Carto in and it starts at higher Ohm and than goes down. Either way the Variable Wattage will compensate. So it is superior techology.
Is it a necessity? I'd say no. Is it superior techonology, I'd say yes. Is it the future? Absolutely.

HI Ocelot,
Must be getting late, I re-read my post and the beginning came off as argumentative so I just edited it. Please pardon me if I offended you.
This is a thread for new vapers and I felt a detailed explanation of benefits of variable voltage was pertinent. Until I received my first Variable Wattage Device, the Sigelei Zmax a week ago, I didn't really figure out it's advantages.
I find I'm always learning new things.

Reach,
There isn't anything really wrong with your setup, othr than the funky look. I am one who tries to help people work w/what they have, and basically, if you got a tank thread cover (fits between your battery and the tank) it would make a nicer closed up line between the tank and the battery, so the tank wouldn't look like it was hanging in mid-air.
A smaller mini nova tank would look better though. So would a clearomizer.
Personally not a fan of the Spinners, genuine joyetech ego twists seem to work better and last longer, despite that it is hard to read the markings on the watts settings at the bottom. Seen and heard too many malfunction stories on the spinners, sorry, but JMHO.
If you have 2 batteries now, and your tank and some juice, I would spend some time reading before buying any kind of "ultimate" setup yet. If you can get by for a month or so with what you got.
There are just too many options for stepping up, and if you are not really clear about what you are stepping up to, you really don't and won't know at this point. Your basic choices are going to be mechanical mod versus electronic mod and you need to be able to decide between these and you can't do that unless you read and study a bit, and also decide what you like about what you have now and what you really do not like. The latter will propel you to find your next mod. Take your tiime if you can, and if you can keep vaping what you got for right now
I say this because you can end up spending a lot of $$ and not end up with what is truly best for YOU....not for me or anyone else, but for YOU.
So:
1) observe what you do not like about your present vape. Think about what would improve things for you. For me, starting out, it was just a matter of better juice. i could have bought anything and would have been unhappy.
2) decide on form factor. You may end up with a box mod instead of a tube shaped mod. You just don't know yet!
3) decide if you want or need a lot of menus, and gagetry and gadgety stuff. Some love this, others hate it and like a simple mechanical mod, or mechanical bottom feeder like vmod or REO
These are things that while vaping your present set up, you will start to intrinsically learn.....what your day to day frustrations are......and how to solve them, and WHAT will solve them.
Until you iknow these things, what works for me may not work for you.

You've gotten A LOT of responses but here's my 2 cents.
The Vision Spinner Tank Combo is the best I've seen. I'd go with the 1300 Spinner's.
I have the Anyvape CVI but prefer the Spinners. As has been mentioned, I also wind up using the VV and like the feel of the Spinner over the CVI. I would also mention that the Chrome/metal finish( Spinners/MOD's ) after awhile feels sticky to me. The voltage scale on the Chrome Spinner is also hard to read.
I much prefer the rubberized finish of the colored devices. Also, if you get the T3's, get a color rather than the clear, again, hard to read the filling scale.

I soak in vodka too. I just don't rinse it with water afterwards.
I rinse with more vodka!
Well played..
I love the Vivi nova tanks like you use. Keep in mind the heads need replacing anywhere between one to two weeks though. You can get a lot of replaceable heads that just screw on real easy. I also try to be careful screwing the tank part on and off the base because if done too tightly, you might cause a hairline crack which can cause leaking. Sometimes you just get a lousy one that leaks at the base no matter what, even the genuine Vivi's. but I have about 6 of them and only one slightly leaks from the base. Not too bad though and I can still use it just fine.
I agree that this is a great price. As for your present PV and the clone Vivi Nova always buy Vision (brand) Vivi Nova.
Vision Spinner Tank Combo
I believe your present PV is a Smok Tek 3.7 volts PV- 1.7- 2.0 ohms for a warm vape. 2.4 ohms for a cool vape. 2.8 ohms is far too high. Best ohms for the Spinner is either 1.8 or 2.4- 2.4 is good cuz it's allows you to use the higher voltage on the Spinner. I own both Twists and Spinners and prefer the Spinners cuz the dial is much easier to turn and the voltage markings are easy to read.
Just some info but the head on the left is a clone while the one on the right is a Vision brand. Also, in regards to the ohms of the head, if you look closely should be able to see the ohms # stamped on the head- 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohms.

Unfortunately right now vendors are out of the genuine Vivi nova heads due to the Chinese New Year. Everyone is waiting anxiously for the vendors to have them available again soon. Right now there seems to be only clones and knockoffs, so don't let a knockoff discourage you from later trying a genuine one. I get mine from gotvapes or myfreedomsmokes, which sell genuine ones when they are available. There's a list you can google that shows the vendors that sell genuine ones somewhere.

That's what its called a "tank thread cover"!!! I was looking for one on various vendor sites, but wasn't sure what it was called. lol Your info is great. I love that I can fix this set. In addition, now that I've obtain a vast amount of knowledge and not having to hunt pieces and parts, I can make a better decision. I totally agree, more knowledge will allow me to choose wisely, without spending vast amounts of money, but I feel I will still be required to purchase at least one spinner/twist and one mode such as a vamo, in order to, determine what I like or do not like. Of course, I'd spend less, if I knew a vapor in town who had various products and was willing to give me a quick tutorial, but that's not going to happen any time soon. Lmao!! The set up I have is exceptional compared to some of the smaller kits, as that is generally all the store sold, so I am extremely grateful to the gentleman who sold it to me. I noticed, he made a large effort in helping me. I took my sister into the same store a few days later and purchased a kit for her, but it was no where near as nice as the one I received. She is still smoking analogs and vaping, cuz the clearomizer she received (all 3 of them) leaks leaving juice in the drip tip and waists quite a bit of choice. She believes if she had my set up, she would be able to quit analogs all together, as I have. Thus I am very grateful!! Now with my new found knowledge I will be able to rebuild both mine and her's. Along with helping others build a good basic set like I currently have. Thanks to all of you, of course!! Yay!!
haha I laughed, I didn't know you needed to tip your ecig upright a bit, to get a better flavor, until this thread. Now, I'm getting a better taste, then before!!! Amazing how every little bit of information, which seems natural to vet vapors, is so important to little noobies like me. I'm like a sponge, taking in everything, everyone is saying. This is awesome!

Thank you! Your info helps alot. I was still deciding Spinner/Twist? Spinner/Twist? OH, and your the first to mention the metal, I was kinda questioning that as well. It looks classier, yet I was questioning whether or not I would spend an endless amount of time having to clean finger prints off it. Being female, I'm constantly having to clean my phone and my Nikon D5100 digital camera, due to having to wear make up. So, I was rather concerned about having to do that with a chrome type metal battery. LOL ......I also want your smiley face. That so rocks!!!!
I love my Vivi Nova tank and thanks to a video, I was able to clean and change the head on it. The ones I have, the bottom won't unscrew. Everyone says it should and that it is probably to tight. I'm sure they are right, but considering I only have these two, it scares the daylights out of me that I will crack one if I try to unscrew it with pliers. Until, I can get more back ups, I think I'll just keep using tweezers to pull the head out the top of the tank, especially since neither one of mine leak. LOL
Try running it under hot tap water to loosen it up/ expand the metal part.
