So I've settled into a comfortable routine with my 650mah spinner batts and T3's, and don't really have any complaints (aside from the fact that the T3's are temperamental, but I do have the quarks figured out and under control). I get all the flavor and vapor I want out of my set up, and really (REALLY!) like the size/form factor. However I have been on the fence for months now. There's the VAMO, the Lavatube V2, the SVD, the ZMax V3 telescopic, and the smoktek SID (along with a myriad of other devices, but those are the only 5 I'm considering)... Thinking a Kanger ProTank or VapeOnly BCC (if you haven't already figured out, I'm a bottom-coil fan-boy) might be less "fiddley" and rock on one of those devices. I'm just wondering, am I missing out on some vapey-goodness by sticking with my current set-up, or would I just be buying for the sake of buying if I decided to upgrade? I'm budget-conscious, but am open to the idea of less-fiddling/more-vaping if an updated set-up would provide that. I'd really like opinions from those who are bottom-coil fans using one of those 5 devices, but will gladly entertain the thoughts of those "vape-masters" out there who may be thinking "but he didn't even mention a hybrid" lol... Thank you for your reading/replying time in advance!

I love my spinners but battery life is important to me. I want them to last as long as possible. My 1300mah spinners are great and I use the novas with them. I think the vamo is one of my best buys along this road. I used to think I didn't want to deal with rechargeable batteries but have definitely changed my tune.
(Argh! Hate top-coils! No judgement though, different strokes for different folks lol) Been thinking about 1300 spinners. That's ultimately what's led to this post. The VAMO and SID would cost the same as getting a couple new spinners...

I like the spinners for out and about but at home I always go to the vamo. Once you get a few of these batteries you can go for days without recharging anything. I have enough batts to last me at least a week but I live in hurricane and tornado area. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1141100
id say branch out and just play with stuff until you find what you love. even if you are bottom coil specific, theres a ton of stuff out there. imo the vamo isnt fiddley bc of the VW settings
I use spinners/t3's for my daily go to work Vape. Once I get home I pull out the RBA's. The only thing your missing is the intense flavor from an RBA that can not be replecated with a T3. If your happy with what you have stick with it, but a Mech Mod with an RSST is the direction I would go for a better vape experience.
Get an Evod imo, they work awesome on my little egos. I keep the Protank on an Evic, its rather heavy in itself and feels awkward to me on an ego 650
3400mah? Really? And NCR? What is that? Man, get settled in for a few months and you're totally out of the loop lol...
I am rocking a mini Vivi Nova on an eGo-T 650mAH pass though (no-twist, no VV) and I don't feel like I am missing out. It does the job, no muss no fuss, and the pass though means I can vape while it charges if needed but it lasts me all day anyway. I put it in my pocket, lay it on it's side, and have even had it upside down a few times with no leaks, no dry hits just the occasional refill/top off.
I do have an EVOD on the way to play with and I may eventually get a small twist/spinner but I doubt I'll ever get one of the larger PV's. I value the ability to put it in my pocket and still be able to sit down. Part of me is even considering going back to auto-cig-a-like batteries and refillable cartomizers just for ease, convenience and portability. Not to mention cheap batteries and replaceable parts.

Well the vamo is a big mod and needs big batts. lol. Well worth the price and I love the vw. I also have the provari but am tired of click click click click click.
Zactly, that's the only thing I don't like about the SID and SVD. I'd never front the cash for a ProVari these days. Seems like antiquated tech when you consider VW. Then again, on the 1 button devices... I would really only be using 1 type of tank, and wouldn't have to change volts/watts that much so I'm considering it...
The protank looks awesome on a SS spinner/twist, a cone is included in the kit, and it vapes line a champ.
If you want to try something that makes your T3's go from a 10 of 10 to a 3 of 10, I second the RSST on a mech. It will blow your boots off, both vapour- and flavourwise.
A small dripper, such as the igo-s is also VERY good. It's kinda in the middle of "standard" mizers and the RSST. The vape and taste is great.
With that said, the T3 / evod / protank are all great. If the ohms fit your voltage, you aren't missing out.

I do occasionally change the the watts but up or down .5 is all that it needs. All you have to do on the vamo is hold the left button down and gives the batt life remaining or the right button gives the resistance. So much easier. I personally think vw is the future.
Rockin a 650 Spinner! Am I missing out?
Seriously, from a two year vaper, noper! As long as you're happy with da flav, vapor and throat hit, venture further at your own pace. Hopefully, ya have several 650s for backups. Beyond that, it's a matter of how 'deep' (aka money) ya want to venture.
I won't even let ya know what I vape, let alone what I've purchased. Just suffice it to say that more i$ not ne¢e$$arily better.
Vape on...!

I've bought a lot of different delivery devices. My current favorite is the eVod. These totally won me over from mini Vivi Novas with their smoother, cooler, and more consistent hits. They are just as easy to rebuild the heads as the VN was, so I'm quite happy with them.
As for power devices, I'm still happy with 650mah eGo Twists. Something like the Vamo is just too large to be useful for me. I'm thinking about ripping an 1100mah Twist apart and making it into a small box mod that runs from a 700mah 14500 IMR, because it always falls out of my pocket, or pokes me in the neck. I like my PVs to be shirt pocket friendly.

Why get anything else if it's working for you? Of course I didn't take my own advice but I have an MVP and a Vamo and some other stuff that I do use periodically but I mostly use my Ego twists with either a T3 or an Evod for most of the day. I got a Protank yesterday. They don't look too dorky on an ego since they come with the transition ring. I'm not at all sure I like it yet though.
Really You've got variable voltage so your not missing out on too much. There are a few bells and whistles that the mods your looking at have that your spinners don't(vw,Ohm checker, volts remaining, ect.) and of course some people will tell you that you simply have not vaped unless you have done so with a Provari. Lol. Must be because of the dual flux compositor or something. Anyway, unless you just have to have all the bells and whistles, you would be just as well off with 2 1300mah spinners. Plus, mods are addictive! run while you still have the chance. Lol
Lmao! That's kinda what I was kinda thinking. I find myself getting engulfed with all of this, but then always stop at "confirm order" and think "is it really worth the money". Lol.
