this is my first review so please go easy on me. I got the spring kit from GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more for $47.95. vapor-ize.com has a video on it but the video leaves out a few minor details sleight of hand style. Obviously sponsored reviewers are usually bias. please check out the video.
I will back up my findings with pictures to get my point across.
first of all is size. nobody wants to hear inches or mm, so here's a visual for you americans and prob some foreigners too.

I like the size and feel of it and it's very light so the average person would have no prob carrying it. Or for you ladies who can and still use a cleavage stash , no problem with the necklace. there are no sharp edges on it and if it was flat I would keep it in my wallet.
interior design is overall acceptable. what you can't see in the video is that every combination you try will still have a space in the storage slot, about 75 cents worth. not too big of a deal.

then theres the manual button issue, well known from pccs of the past, relived again. the battery only goes in one way, otherwise the led comes on when you shut it. when it goes in this way it kinda takes up some real estate on the neighboring slot. not too big a deal by my standards but worth noting.

one MAJOR design flaw, probably inevitable is no condoms allowed or the case will not shut right. BUMMER!!!!! solution, put your cart on you atty(s), or go for the smart cart on an atty. in fact there are a few combos that won't let it shut right but there are plenty of combos that shut just fine. I recommend short stuff on the left.
as far as batt life goes, can't say yet but I'll update when I kill a few charges. like any rechargable I recommend at least 2 full power up-downs to condition your battery. the included charger does it's job well on the first charge so far and is spring loaded so I assume it charges other sized batts.
one down side for me being a landscaper is that there is no atty plug to keep out dirt, sand, pea stone, gravel, pollen, or any other fun stuff I dump out of my pockets before doing laundry.

the good news is it works and after all I talked bad about it I still love it and will abuse it until it breaks then prob get another one. as far as blowing smoke clouds, yea it does that just fine. can't compare it to anything because I've only owned a sidesho/m401. If you have to ask than yes it performs better than the 401.

well I hope you liked my review and feel free to critique but please be gentile. I didn't even want to do it in the first place but nobody else did so I had to.
vape strong and vape long!:vapor:

I must update this review now that I've used it more. first of all I might have flooded the automatic activator because as stated I have to give a somewhat heavy draw to activate the unit. still works though. the battery life is amazing considering I don't vape all the time. most importantly I must add that no matter what I store inside the spring the lid always closes now. I guess it's either a learning curve or a break in period. just found out that a 510 xl clearimizer will in theory fit in the kit. would love to try it but tight on cash so if anyone tries it let me know.

I have found that there is no voltage regulator or low batt indicator on the spring. I'm thinking of adding one which is a pretty simple mod. I rang out my attys and they were 3 ohms. I'm waiting on xl clearimizers to see if they fit in the kit. Still really happy with the kit. got vapes told me they're gonna discontinue the most adaptable kit on the market which will suck for me when this one's had it I'll have to gut it and mod it.
