Welcome! I have been vaping for a year or three and bought my first VV several months ago: the Twist. My first Twist was mortally wounded when I dropped it 2 feet from the couch on to the carpet causing the button to jam at an angle. I disassembled it and reset the button every day or two for a few weeks before it finally quit. The second Twist died last week when the black internal wire came loose from the circuit board. I went to GV to order yet-another replacement and saw the Spinners. Mine arrived yesterday, sat on the charger last night and I am vaping on it as I write.

The Spinner is very, very nice. I suspect the build quality is better than the Twist. Certainly, the voltage setting on the Spinner is *MUCH* easier to read. Whoever designed the Twist markings wasn't thinking too clearly.

Look around and you will see that it is not hard to wrap up $100 in a VV setup. For dipping your toe in the water, the Spinner is a great place to start.

What's still missing? In my opinion, two things are still needed:
1. An LCD "fuel gauge" showing charge levels
2. A USB charging port for charging while vaping

I don't know how many times I was running out the door and was unsure if the battery would last while I was out. A charge-o-meter readout would reduce that uncertainty.

Any time I set the device down to charge, I am thinking about vaping and am annoyed that I cannot vape. When I don't think about vaping, I don't charge the battery. It is cruel that the times I jones the most are when I cannot use the battery. I keep a spare around for that very reason, but it would be nice to charge while vaping, even on a short or long road trip.

Try out the Spinner. You will probably like it.


Then this may be your next one. Although I don't know if it will show remaining battery life or voltage remaining.

Here you go folks a little brief video on the new 3 to 6volt ego vv

so is the 400mah spinner longer than a regular 650 ego?

It is but not by much. Maybe a half inch but I'm not sure since I don't have the 650 with me. It's not noticeable though, and the 400 spinner is lighter so it balances better despite it's slight length. I don't like the button, but it's a minor complaint.

I don't like any buttons, really, I'd rather have an auto, especially now that it's lighter I can just keep it dangling from my mouth while I do things like work or game, but if there must be a button, I don't like it. I think I got used to the soft rubbre buttons, and this one has just a smidge too much resistance so it feels like I have to press harder. It's also a white light which under my finger makes it look red, so several times I've thought my battery was dying (even though this makes no sense). But like I said, it's a minor complaint that after 5 mins of use I forget about.

hi all i'm just starting out and i'm looking for a VV but dont know what good, I have heard about the ego twist, kgo VV with lcd screen and now this one. which one is good and a better deal? please help thanks

Howdy. I have the Kgo and just got the spinner. My brother has the twists, but I haven't even had a chance to see them.

IMO it's a tossup. The Kgo pros: has a passthrough charger which I prefer (no screwing, use while charging) and better button(s).

The Spinner pros: is lighter, sleeker, smaller, more precise control, and doesn't have the IMO obnoxious LED screen (part of why it's smaller which makes it a double bonus in my book). The downside to no LED screen though is no battery indicator, which wouldn't be a problem if it had a passthrough option lol.

Neither really has cons. Just preference.

My best advice? Get one of each. You probably won't regret it lol

edit to add: Don't bother with the twist, there's nothing the Spinner doesn't do better, in more variety.

I just got my 1300mah Spinner today and my initial impression is very good.

Build quality seems as good or better than my Twist and the dial and with its clearly presented voltage numbers is a real improvement and at 1300mah it should last me all day. At about $30 it is really a great value.

I passed on the VV Kgo because of the added length that is necessary for the LED. I always transport my PV in my pocket and anything longer than this Spinner just won't be comfortable for me. If they could have made a Kgo-VV or an ego-vv with a display and kept the length down I most likely would have tried one, but as it stands until I get deep pockets (pun intended) I'll stick with the spinner.

I don't know what qualifies as heavy or moderate vaping but I have had my 1100mah spinner for a few days now and I usually run through 3 stardusts full and 1 to 2 mini novas . the vision spinner is lasting at least 14 hours a day running 3.8-4.3 depending on the juice I'm using at the moment. Very impressed and it does out perform my 1100 twist "clone" everything about my ego twist looks real except for the engraving on the twist knob is missing thats why I say "clone"

What's a good tank to put on the spinner, i was looking at the vision mini vivi nova

I love the CE4 clearos (Vision/Stardust/whatever). Easy to fill, fit nicely, great flavor, and hold about 2ml of juice. I love em.

There's a bigger version too - CE6 - holds 5ml and the form factor in pictures seems to be just mildly larger.

Got a couple, one in black and one in chrome finish 16mm 1300 mAh "FATBOY", from gotvapes today just 6 days after ordering on the 10th. So excellent delivery times. Cost about £20.00 each with delivery including newsletter discount.

First impressions are:

1. The obvious shorter length than a 1000 mAh twist. Not all that much longer than a 650 mAh Twist for double the vape time. So a big plus.

From left to right-->1000 mAh Joyetech Twist, 1300 mAh VV spinner, 650 mAh Joyetech Twist.

2. Exactly the same diameter as a Vapingthings and VH genesis which is one of the reasons I bought it for. I think it's called the Griffin in the US.

3. Highly visible markings and the increment is by twisting in clockwise and not counter clockwise. Markings go up in 0.5 increments of 3.3, 3.8, 4.3 and 4.8 volts,

4. Not as well made as the Twist. The battery tube must be very thin. On the chrome finish one you can see a slight bulge where the top cap/pot has been press fitted into the tube.

5. Good short circuit protection in dead short situations where it flashes and switches off. Unlike the twist which also has SC protection but in a different way where the voltage just drops to zero but the button remains lit.

6. The button is slightly uncomfortable. They have used the standard 14mm ego connector and button is a touch uncomfortable as it is standard ego button and does not fall comfortably to the thumb.to press. They should have made the button a touch higher.May be a case of getting used to it.

Those are my first impressions. I am sure with the higher rated battery it will be able to supply the demand at the set voltage for a longer time unlike the twist where the voltage starts drooping after about 3-4 seconds. I am also hoping that once it dies, I should be able to put in a 14500/14650 battery in there, which was the idea behind why I bought it in the first place.

Overall a definite thumbsup for those who want a smaller form factor with half decent battery life and possibly try to fit a 14500/14650 battery into it in the future reusing the tube and circuitry and the pot.

I forgot to order the Type D ego cone to better finish it off but make sure you get one if you are going to use a 15/16mm dia -mizers like the mini nova or the Chinese genesis or the new 16mm Diameter DID from MM vapors ...

They are same price as 650mah, there is actually not wholesale price difference between those and between the 400 & 650 they are close to same price as even the larger ones.

Probably a dumb question, but...why is the 400mah Spinner priced at $1.00 more than the 650mah?
Also, any idea when the 400 mah will be in stock again?

Thanks! : )
