Battery Help Needed

[djs]

I always thought the Joyetech was longer and thinner.
Either way, I don't like it much and went the Spinner route.

I *heart* my spinner Sammy - its my single favourite item of vape kit I've got over the past month and it just works - I had 900 ego T's before I got one and they became backup as soon as it arrived. You really don't know what you are missing on VV until you try it...

They do come in different sizes - I got the liberty flights 900 one and its about an inch taller than the ego and a tiny, tiny bit wider. The 1300 is nicknamed 'fatboy' so I guess you can take your queue from its dimensions compared with a normal ego. Battery life wise it does me a full 24 hours and a bit on a normal day - I'm a 3ml a day or so guy so you can work out how it would go for you from that I guess.

As to how long they last - can only say mine is just under a month old but just as reliable as when I got it - I'd buy another one in a flash (in fact I would have two by now if I hadn't bought the cheap itaste mini)

Or as another option I picked a pair up of these from fasttech when I got my cheap evods and they are actually pretty good - not in the same league as a spinner but much better than a normal ego and at £6 a go who's counting?

Might be worth mentioning - as I understand it - the mAh rating denotes battery power storage, not output power - that's what the VV bit is for. So your 900/1100/1300 Spinners will still output the same, but the higher mAhs will last longer before you need to recharge them. A non-VV Ego is set at around 3.8V I think, and although I do tend to vape around 3.8V, it's nice to have the option! Egos just don't seem to have the same sort of kick to them for some reason

sammy13 what makes you think your battery is on its way out? If its only 2 months old contact the vendor they will most likely replace it

It is doing various things.
I have2 exact same batteries so imagine I have them side by side both fully charged and just one clearo of juice .
If I was to put the clearo on one battery then the other -
These are the differences when using battery 1 ( Battery 1 is the one I believe faulty )

1. I don't get the same oomph from vaping.
2. The clearo gets really hot at the bottom as soon as I use it .
3. The blue light sticks on when I have let go.
4. I get nothing from the clearo  at all.
5. The blue light doesn't come on when I press it, have to keep pressing a few times even when on.
6. The juice starts to taste burnt.

Obviously it doesn't do all these things at once, but it has done all of these things at some point today.
I switched to my other battery and everything was fine, same clearo, same juice.

So it is working for an emergency but not correctly.

Dream when you have a moment could you measure your 1300 spinner, against your 900 ego please.
I have the 900 ego, and I don't mind going a bit longer but don't want to go much wider.

My Spinner is roughly 1.6cm diameter

sammy13 my 'fatboy' 1300mAh spinner is about 2mm wider than my 1100mAh Twist, but 'fatboy' is at least 5mm less in length!

seriously, I really don't think you'd regret buying a spinner

sammy13 have you contacted the vendor ?

What's the reason you don't want VV? They're not going to ruin any of your stuff, I've had everything on mine from CE4s to Protanks to Evods to iClear 30s, all fine

I do agree the one thing that's missing from a Spinner is a battery indicator. I've got one of these on order from Fasttech for just that reason - could suit you too if you're not in a hurry?

It's not that I don't want one, more that I'm scared of them  I have had so many problems with my clearo's this week, then my battery charger breaking, now this with my battery that I figured if there is nothing to clean, twist, spin or adjust I can not bloody break anything lol.
The faulty charger could perhaps have damaged the battery,  or perhaps the charger isn't faulty it was just the battery I'm not sure on that one anymore.

That's the battery I have seen Jen, do they not do them in this country?

No because it was just the cheap blister pack that I got from Paradise vapes, luckily I bought two.

Sammy - I have the 900 spinner rather than the 1300 - I've yet to kill the charge on it through a whole days use, even with what feels like pretty heavy vaping, but it does take about 4 hours to recharge so needs to be paired with another battery as you can't charge overnight.

I've just put it end to end with my ego 900 and its pretty much identical circumference - perhaps 1/2 mm thicker as the tube seems a tiny bit wider but the silver discs at the end of the battery are the same so might just be a visual illusion because the spinner is taller. Can't comment on the 1300 but I'm fairly certain its a bit thicker - hence the fatboy nickname

Mine was liberty flights branded but I believe they are vision ones with their logo engraved on them - this one in fact (in black)

www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=191

That link says the 1300 is 3mm thicker than the 900 - which is a fair difference actually in handhold factor

I got 18% off when I ordered and they always have some kind of offer on - 14% today with code thunderlightning

Aww, bad vape week, huh? Happens to all of us unfortunately. But luckily, upgrading to much better equipment will help you avoid it

A Spinner is nowhere near the size of a Vamo/Lavatube or other mod, I still feel it's perfectly feminine especially in a pretty colour. Don't worry about breaking anything, I've had a good go and even I can't manage it!

Haven't seen those here, nope, but it's only £6-7 and will be with you usually in a couple of weeks - hell, get three for the price of one Spinner!

The one I linked to from fasttech has the battery indicator and does VV too.

If you are desperate to get it quick I'll send you my spare for the same price as fasttech and order another one from them as I'm okay for backups currently - its still in the cellophane.

Although in all honesty I'd get a spinner - you won't regret it

[sammy13]

Well I remember my first ever post on the forum saying I must have a cig a like and you guys told me no I must not lol.
Now you all seem to be in agreement that I need a spinner so a spinner it will be.
So talking only of vision spinners, am I right then in thinking the higher the number 900/1100/1300 - the longer and wider it gets?
Also does the only difference that number make is the length of time it lasts between charges?

Now other than e-cig cabin, where else would be good to look for them so that they are genuine?
I will be ordering a few other bits and pieces, a new charger and other things as well so I need to find the best price wise for all I want together.

I'm getting that one in black - didn't even realise it was VV! Even better
