I really like the Emow Mega tank. The battery is nice also, but not a fan of how flush the button is and I'm addicted to the click in place function on the Spinner and my itaste clk. Although, you don't have to worry about the spinner moving on the Emow. Its also shorter (just wider) than the Spinner 2, so it has a smaller profile in the pocket, which I like when moving around.

Nice you found the charger from somewhere not all the way in China...lol! Shipping takes forever. Another person from the forum directed me to sweet-vapes.com and they also have it, since I'm in the US...it's a little closer. : ) I'm probably going to order it and maybe an extra Emow Mega tank as they're the only one's I've found selling the tank separately from the battery. I have seen just the battery on ebay though.

I'm still undecided on the battery - think I may wait a while longer for the iPow 2 ...been showing as ''coming soon'' for weeks at UKeCigstore!

Not too sure about buying this type of thing from Ebay. Had some bad Kanger coils (supposedly genuine), but also a good Spinner ll mini.

Yep, it's been saying the same for the IPOW on the sweetvapes website "Out of Stock, delayed a week or so". And I believe that's been at least 2 weeks now.

I understand about eBay as I did get a fake Spinner 2 from eBay, but they're at least good and fast on making it right with their "no fake" policy and refunding you. They didn't even ask for the clone back (which was actually a really good one. lol). But, I've also gotten a genuine one from them and bought my other one from a brick and mortar while I was out of town. Everything else I've found has been genuine as well and I'm sticking with the one or two sellers I trust if I do use eBay for vape stuff.

But, sweetvapes has by far been the one site I've found with the widest selection. They get EVERYTHING, before EVERYBODY. : ). Ordered two of the Vision chargers from them just to test it out and see if it makes a difference.

One last note, I'm in good with one of the eBay guys I've bought from frequently and he turned me on to a new battery. The Tesla Sidewinder 2. He's getting them in tomorrow and I'm going to get one from him. The sidewinder is 2000mah and they make a Spider that's 1300mah. You should check it out... he said its the one ego he's consistently using and I found some pretty good reviews on it.

It may be a good thing they weren't in stock ...I'm leaning towards the Leaf iStick now ...another not in stock anywhere at the moment! :)

True, most Ebay sellers will take problem items back, but it's a pain having to start contacting them and sending things back.

I've seen them mentioned a number of times. I'll have a closer look at their site.
I see a Sidewinder 2 with a UK seller, but I've never heard of them before.

Ohh, hadn't seen that one before! I like it! So compact and that's been the one thing keeping me from wanting to get a box mod. This may have to move up into my consideration list. Thanks!

Just did a quick search on eBay and there are a few people selling them (I know how you feel about fleabay though :)).

Oops, they all look to be pre-orders though.

Yes, there's a couple of those Ebay sellers that I'd likely take a chance on as they do seem legit. I'd be more suspicious right now of a seller that actually has stock! :)

I've seen a few people that already have them mentioning how good they are.
I only want one with a fixed battery rechargeable with a cable, so avoided some of the more obvious makes in nice colours.
I do have three MVP2's, and have been very pleased with them - seeing something 2200mah at a sensible price that's easily charged is just too tempting. They're such a neat size too.

I see one Ebay seller explaining that China has a holiday the first week of October, so it'll be despatch after that for a lot of retailers waiting for stock. There could well be some already due in before the end of the month, but I saw one website state that there's been a delay at the factory!
Looks like we'll just have to wait and see - perhaps grab one as soon as there's some real stock! :)

Good point on trusting anyone with stock right now, when everyone is out :) And yes, I also forgot about there being a holiday in China right now. A B&M shop I buy some things from was telling me about as I discussing them ordering a few Emow Mega tanks for me from Kanger.

So, are there different models? Some with replaceable batteries as I see you only want one with fixed battery. I didn't catch that when looking them up.

And my Vision chargers should be here today or tomorrow, so I'll get a chance to see how they do. Was going to order one more Spinner 2, but my other 2 are getting annoying to charge and are barely getting 3 hrs of consistent vaping before going blue.

I saw a couple of places quoting 27-30th for stock, so that may not help now as it looks like some were already on the way.
There's some limited stock at a Dublin site: Vaperus.ie

No, not on these - what I meant was the different makes of box type :)

Since I began watching them for going off charge after an hour, then re-starting them on charge, they've been a lot better ..still a pain though! Nice concept and appearance, but not perfect. There's other makes of similar type.

Well, let's hope much sooner, rather than much later:)

Ah, understood now. lol. I'd definitely want a fixed battery mod also with an easy charging cable. Wouldn't want to deal with having to take batteries out to charge.

Yep, it's my favorite as for design and overall appearance. The charging woes are made up by how much I like the device overall. And like you said, I just monitor and then unplug and replug to get it going again. One thing I have worded about though is whether or not it's really getting a full charge even after the constant unplugging and plugging back in? Only because they just don't seem to last as long as expected. I can't let it go past the blue due to drop in performance either.

Yes, hopefully they'll all be in stock before too long.
There's a few US sellers on Ebay taking pre-orders too.
I do prefer the fixed battery type rather than separate chargers and batteries, and there does seem to be a new wave of the higher capacity fixed ones emerging.
MVP's have obviously been very popular, so it would make sense for others to take this style further.

I'm never that sure about how well charged they are - so many things can contribute to the length of use from a charge: coil resistance is one, and we aren't always prone to noticing just how much we use them.
I may not buy another Spinner ll, but may still get a Kanger iPow at some point. I like the design of them and the USB charging point in them. Never had any problems with Kanger batteries so far!

Good tip about cleaning the dual coil heads.
Leave them sit in a bowl of boiling water overnight. Take them out and leave them to dry on a window ledge. I used an old margarine style tub.
In a week they'll be totally dry and good as new. Just tried it with a bunch of my old ones!
Are these the V2 Kanger ones that we use in the MOW? ...and they taste OK after they dry?
Never thought about cleaning them ...kept some, threw some away. I'll try that with the ones I still have.

By the way - are you still liking strawberry ones? ...I tried some NT Strawnilla, and although I can only use around 15% in with something VG, it's really good. I've been using it with some Strawberry Vapetto, and it's lovely! (Used too much PG mixed into my VG ones this past two days and have suffered with breathing! :( - that'll teach me!)

Urgh the strawnilla - I can't get on with it! My face NT is the cinnamon roll, but that's out of stock at SV!

I got the simple #4 and Simple #10 from grizzly. #4 is orange - nothing special. #10 is supposed to taste like juicy fruit chewing gum. It tastes like juicy fruit chewing gum picked off the bottom of my shoe - yuk! Avoid grizzly as they all have this weird undertone that's unpleasant.

Thinking of trying Jack the ripple, really want moo juice though!

I suspect that if I had Strawnilla in max VG, it would be too rich for me - with the Vapetto, it's very nice :) I'll try it with Confusion and ABC too.
I have some GCDanish that's a couple of months old now - waiting for the cinnamon to calm down a bit ...it gave me a headache. I don't get on very well with cinnamon though, but find it better for me mixed with ABC.

I've got the #4 too but haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it needs a cream flavour in it! I have the Polar Bear, and it's OK - nothing spectacular, but nice enough.

'Almost' likes the Jack the Ripple, and I think she's bought that at least twice.
I thought of getting the concentrate from CV to make a bottle of my own.

I ordered one of those Eleaf iStick batteries. Really tiny but with a 2200mah fixed battery. Up to 20w. Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.

Ask them and they may oblige!

Had an interesting chat with Tristan from SV last night. Cinnamon roll is here but in customs right now so should be in stock later this week [emoji2]

He reckons apple jax by epic is good so be rude not to. After all I am a "Jack" due to the football team I support - swansea City!

Which reminds me of better get my skates on! No Vapes allowed in the stadium though! [emoji30]

I will get around to asking about them doing a few in VG!
I do have some GCD, but in VG which I got from the NT US site. Can't use it by itself though: the cinnamon is too strong! I'll try it again to see if it's a bit milder now it's been steeped a long time.
I got some Band Camp from NT: a very nice apple pie, but the apple is one of those fruits that affects me - had a very raw throat, a rash on my face, and couldn't breathe!

Which reminds me of better get my skates on! No Vapes allowed in the stadium though! [emoji30]
Something I don't fully understand, unless it's because people are very close together at such things and it could annoy people (or freak them out! :D).
Whatever, hope you had a good afternoon!

We drew [emoji30] but I can understand why they don't allow as the ciga-likes do look real and it would be easy for non vapers to have a crafty smoke I guess.

Just seen an interesting one on red juice made by penguin juices called Adelie. It's berries, strawberry, dessert, churro and cinnamon. Tempted!

Tristan said Apple jax is like a McDonalds apple pie but I don't know what that tastes like as I refuse to eat their junk!

Really wish I had a mint or menthol handy now as I made a nice jalfrezi with home made naan bread.

I'm trying the #10 again and it's better on an original kanger stick battery than the spinner.

red juice seem to have quite a lot of the more unusual makes ...I see one that's 90% VG! (Ruthless) I'll have to take a closer look.
I wouldn't think McD's anything would be a good endorsement ...but what do I know - like you, I never go in there!
I got a decent ready to use menthol recently from FlavourArt: Uber Menthol. You can order them in your own choice of base etc.

I'm trying the #10 again and it's better on an original kanger stick battery than the spinner.
That's good to hear! I'm using a couple of Evod's at the moment.
When the UK stocks come in properly, you may like an Eleaf iStick - I got one on Saturday and it's really good. Very neat, solid, 2200mah, and a full display for watts and volts plus the ohms and battery level.
It goes up to 20w but I got it for the neatness and battery life! I'm using it at 3.5v
