hey guys
so, i'm kinda curious to try the small visions... which ones are you guys finding less troubles with - the 1.3 or 1.5 mls? i love the giants, the 2.5s seem to not like me too much, so i'm curious as to which of the tinys work better for those of you that have them already (i have to wait 2 weeks minimum to get orders hence asking opinions)
TIA

I'll say off the bat that I haven't had what I would call a "problem" with any of the Visions that I've tried (I skipped the biggest one). A bit of gurgling on all of them here and there, that's about it. Since I first ordered them, I had exactly two dry hits on the bigger one (Mini) - and those were my own fault. I do notch the mouthpiece seals to prevent airtightness, which helps with gurgling, but may cause leaking - that's just me being extremely fussy. Plus, I like fiddling just for the sake of fiddling... ;)

Bottom line, for me these work right out of the box, and work very well.

That said, I like the smaller versions much better - which has to do with taste, and is therefore extremely subjective.

For me, the Stretch gives the absolutely best taste. It also has a tighter draw, which I really, really, really like. Yes, the mouthpiece gets hot if you chain vape. But, to be reasonable, I can take five long chain drags before I have to let it cool for a sec, and my lips are sensitive. The Stretch also looks waaaaaaaay cool on the 510 Mega.

The Regular is just a great vape, period.

I haven't had any leaks with these. I think either is a great choice.

I'm having a good time with my visions. Purchased all sizes except the giant. Me too, realize that the smaller the size, the tighter the draw. My thoughts on the difference in taste between the sizes is that they are actually the same. Just that the easier draw on the bigger ones are mixed with more air, hence the slight difference. I don't have preference over the draw strength as i like lots of variations in my vape. Variation is also the reason why i prefer regular size because i can switch flavor more frequently. Vision stretch is a little too slim, visually for me.

Not all visions are created equal tho. While most of them are fantastic, there surely will be one or two funky ones. And i happen to finally receive one of them. It is a regular size vision that got a serious leaking problem at the seal around the connector center post. Didn't realise it until half of the liquid inside was gone magically, had not even started vaping on it. Luckily, there was a tissue paper below it.

Here is something you can try if you encounter the same problem as i do. Use a flat tip screw to turn the center post (the part that connects to the battery), clockwise will recess it, anti-clockwise will raise it. The whole chunk of everything in the vision will spin with it too. Mine just need to be raised, and it is now working perfectly, zero leaks.

WARNING: If you want to screw the center post, please be extremely careful. Never let the internal parts spin more than half a turn. Use the wicks as a gauge and never let them criss cross each other. Don't force it as you will snap something inside. I did it with a little juice left inside so there was minimal friction. Only do it if it is absolutely necessary!

I also get gurgling occasionally too depending on my juice. What i do is play around with the inner plug. Press it tighter against the center tube, turning the inner plug slightly off angle to reduce the size of the two small holes where the liquid flow to the coil, will help me remove the gurgling.

You just need to fiddle a bit with it if you got one that won't behave, and they'll work wonderful.

the giants were the first ones i got and i love them, and as it turns out i also have a little regular, that arrived with the order that i just received. the one 'mini' that i had an issue with was a pressure issue, even though i filled it so that it wasnt even covering the white where the air intake joins the cup (the upside down step bit right where the wires connect). i had seen mixed reviews/ posts about the two smallest sizes though so i figured i'd find out. looking forward to my next order, it'll be the real test.... although i think i'll give the 2.5s a miss for now... lol, the experience i had with mine was not one i'd want to have unless i was overtop a sink.

I just turned my center post to raise it, and heard a snap... Now it won't fire... :ohmy:

I would suggest being very careful with that technique! :facepalm:

Oh my.. I'll add a warning to my post for people who might attempt to do that. So sorry if it was due to what i've suggested. Mine is a 'do or die' case and it eliminated the leaks.
