What is a good style "pen" mod

[Myah_June2014]

Hi all, I really like the pen style like spinner, or just round like sliver bullet. The spinners have just 1 tooooooo many horror stories of those batteries. What's a good "pen" mod, or just I guess circle lol, sounds so newbie! not to big but still decent on battery life? Yes, I know, go w/ mvp2 if I want a great battery . I just am not sure about the box style, bulkiness or whatever it may be lol. I can't afford anything crazy right now so no provari! What about clones, are they bad news. Plz help & TY

itaste vv v3 and miniprotank2 v2.

These r very nice & I'm considering it. Anything else, besides this? I've heard this actually has 650 battery even though they give a stupid speech saying otherwise.

The VV v3 is the best (generally speaking) "pen" device out at the moment.

If you're looking for round regulated mods, you can't really go wrong with a Vam, SVD, Zmax/Zmax mini. The SVD is a touch on the big side when used with an 18650 battery, but still nice as far as features. If I picked a regulated round mod, it would probably be the Vamo.

The "horror" stories I"ve heard regarding Spinners generally involve extreme physical abuse, using the wrong charger, not keeping them clean (i.e. juice flooding in) and things like that. I have several in my rotation that are well over a year old and no problems with any of them. Sometimes the form factor is more appropriate to my activities, sometimes I just don't want to risk my higher end gear, sometimes they just go along as backup.

Ipads and Iphones have gone up in flames as well as other consumer electronics.

In both cases, failure rate is ridiculously low.

The Innokin EP is the low rated one, the VV3 performs like the 800 mAh rating it has, nice unit but you need two. Of course, you need backups anyway...

The MVP is a lot smaller and lighter than you might think - although still, of course, a box

The several tube mods mentioned are all good options as well, but you'll also need to get at least two good batteries and a charger for them, so initial cost goes up a bit. Of course, those can probably be used with future tubes you might get into.

Spinners are awesome, you must have hit the worst reviews on the internet or something. I use a couple Spinners, great batteries

 

[Ktribb]

I've read and seen reviews on one called a mig cig 21?

I have a Spinner 2 that's excellent. 1600 mAh it lasts me all day. Sadly it's priced almost as much as an Mvp2. Between the two of course the Mvp2 wins hands down. I have both soo

The spinner 1300 mAh (the fatter one) works great for me , but not good for an all day vape .so the solution? Get 2 ! Lol

Another happy user here of the genuine Vision Spinners. I got 2 when I first started vaping and used them exclusively for about 2-3 months. Both are still in occasional use even now and have given me zero problems.

I still recommend spinners to new vapers looking for an ego type smaller form-factor battery as I've found them to be reliable and easy to use.

You've had some good suggestions too though, the VV3.0 mentioned above is a favorite of a lot of people on the ECF.

I agree, two Vision Spinners - 1300 mAh. As has been said, the MVP2, though a box, is quite small and does last all day, in fact two days.

I use both of these depending on what I'm doing. This morning, as I go out, I'll be taking a couple of Ego batteries out with me and a couple of CE4s. But it's usually a Spinner/MVP mix.

Just helped two of my neighbors get vaping equipment. They both got Vision 2 spinners and are very satisfied. I still have a clone of a Kanger VV pen style (no idea who really made it) that I have been using for two months and it is working fine. use it when I leave the house so I don't chance losing or dropping my Tesla....

I have a Vision spinner (was my everyday vape for awhile) that I keep as a back up and I have never had any issues what so ever.
A great battery for what it is as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Buggainok]

I use an MVP 2 now, but before that I had Vision Spinners that worked great and I was very happy with them. I still have them as my back ups. I have heard very little negative said about the genuine Vision Spinners.

Evod Twists are almost identical to the Spinners. I have a couple and they work just fine. Here is a starter kit I found on ebay.

FastTech has them much cheaper if you want one and can wait it out. Can take a month to get a battery from them.

For a mech mod in a pen style, take a look at the Nemi by Atmomixani. It runs a 14500 or 14650 battery so it's skinnier than the traditional 18mm batteries. I even think clones are starting to come out as well.

Only concern I have with that is you should *not* be able to build anything sub-ohm lower than 0.8 ohms, as the amp rating for these batteries are at 9.5 amps max.

I use an Itazte EP, the non VV, w/ a Smoktech slim DC vivi nove clearo. It get's me out the door in the AM, through the work day and back home into the evening before I get a low batt. light. The combo gives a good constant vape while the lights green, which is 12-14 hrs for me.

 

[Hijack]

Spinners aren't bad if you don't abuse them, and you can get them up to 1300 mAh
About the only other option that is adjustable and pen like is the VV V3.
Vamo, ZMAX, ect. Are a fair bit bigger when using a 18650 rated at 2000+.

I got the wife the VV v3 and she loves it. No issues from it.

 

[USRN2016]

The VV v3 is my only pen style battery. It's perfect for leaving the house and running errands. I had an ego c twist, it was greet, too. I gave that to my mom when she wanted to quit smoking, she loves it.
