I am kind of on the fence right now. I keep going back and forth between buying an X2 or a Spinner. I know it's short money and I could just buy both, but I am one of those anti-impulse buyers who takes way too long to pull the trigger on new stuff.

I am fine with staying 808, as my wife is perfectly content with her cigalikes and we are borderline hoarding 808 cartos and clearos. So, if I am staying with nano clearos and T3's, is the VV really going to make that much of a difference over an X2?

Any opinions, suggestions, or pictures of kittens wearing hats are appreciated. Thanks!

I have both x2's and spinners. I like the spinners better due to the fact it only takes 3 hours to recharge a 1300mah and my 900mah x2 takes 8 hours also with an X2 they start at 4v then drop to 3.6v and stay there till they need recharged. with spinner you can set it at the 3.8v that all somkeless image stuff is made to use and it holds that voltage the whole time. The reason I also have x2 batterys is the fact you can use it as a passthru device while its being recharged. Spinner you can't use as passthru

Spin it!

If you must have just one or the other, go with the Spinner. X2s are awesome as pluggables, but you just never know when you're gonna need to go higher or lower. e.g., I've had flavors that I've been craving really badly burn up instantly, and I'm liking T3s a little hotter. To me, adjustability would be more important.

This is extremely rare and I could've returned it, but I've also gotten an X2 that ran a little hotter - unusable for cartos, but I kept it as a spare for T3s. But just sayin', you don't wanna go through that kind of sorting with your batts. If they're adjustable, they'd all be the same. ;)

Thanks for the input (and cats!) everyone.

I think I am going to go with the spinner. The real deal breaker is the charging time homepro pointed out.

Not fair at all, I still can't decide! Although I think the charging is swaying me towards the spinner.

To be honest I have 2 of the X2 900 battery's and 2 of the 1300 spinner battery's. I normally throw a spinner on to charge over night but I've never drained one yet even though I chain vape all day long. I just refuse to leave my house with out at least a spinner, x2 and a pass thru cable just in case

I was also on the fence and leaning toward the X2 but during the last sale I decided to go for the spinner. I have had it for about 4 days now and I love it, you really don't know what you are missing in a juice until you tweek the voltage even just a little bit can really change the TH and flavor. My suggestion... for $5 go for the spinner, even if you leave the VV at a standard setting you have options.

I have both and only use my spinners. The battery charges twice as fast. Though I pretty much stay around 3.8v, I like being able to adjust up a little to get more vapor and down a little on a new coil when I get a burnt taste. It's also nice to be able to dial it up a bit on an old t3 when the coils are a bit gunned. It makes it so I don't have to clean as often. I never turn lower than 3.6 or higher that 4.3

If you use T3s and have tobacco flavors, go with the spinner. With an X2 and T3 setup, the tobacco flavors get so muted you can hardly taste them. It seems to be because the vape is too cool. I was about to just throw out the T3s and forget about it before I decided to see if a spinner would help. Having a spinner now,I can adjust to 4.1 and get the tobacco tastes back.
