Time to get some new kit - Kanger IPOW?

[Cambo]

Hi Guys,

Not been on for a while as I’ve been off and away using all my lovely kit suggested by the wonderful folk on these very boards.

Moons ago now it seems I started on Skycigs, not brilliant, but if it wasn’t for them I’d have never got into all this in the first place, then at the suggestion of people on here I moved onto a Riva starter kit. This in turn lead me onto a eGo Twist, a Vision Spinner (Big Boy) and a trusty eGo –C as back up, but unfortunately I now find myself with a bunch of kit that is beginning to give up the ghost.

The Twist has died a death, the Spinner is on its last legs and the only thing still working reliably is the eGo-C…..so I’m in the market for some new gear.

If I’m honest I found the Spinner a bit cumbersome and I preferred the Twist for size and looks, but found the Spinner more reliable, however I want to give something new a try. I’ve been looking at the Kanger IPOW but don’t know anything about them really, are they a good buy?

I’d appreciate any/all info please to help me make an informed decision before spend my hard earned cash.

Thanks.

Oooh, 650mAh VV/VW.

Even 800mAh in the iTaste VV is bordering on barely long enough battery run time.

I wouldn't.

Depends how much you vape, I guess. 800mAh is kind of minimum for me 9-5.

I wonder how long that has been out? I've no intention of buying one but it has gone under my radar at least, if not the radars of many.

I must admit, i'm not too bothered about battery running time as i'm allowed to sit at my desk and vape at work, which has the added bonus of me being able to charge things up all through the day, so I just swap batteries as and when needed. My Twist was only a 650, and the Spinner/eGo are 1300's, so I was thinking of getting two, probably a VV and a another standard 1300 as back up....

You're allowed to vape at your desk? Where do you work and do they need any more vapers?

My productivity would shoot through the roof if the powers that be allowed me to chain vape 24mg Red Astaire while I work

Mmmmmm, just had a look for one of those IPOW thinggys and it looks like its going to be very similar to your 650 twist ?
Thought you wanted to try something new
Though, if your basically happy with your set up apart from the batteries giving up on you then why not.
Maybe someone else on here has tried them ?

BrenD - I am allowed to vape at my desk, but believe me, at this place that is the ONLY perk I get! haha

Charliehorse - Well, when I said 'new' I meant not a Twist or Spinner lol, although as you say, I am basically happy with the general set up. I just wondered if anyone had any experience with the kanger as i've only ever used one of their EVOD Clearo's....?

Cambo evod 1000mAh twists here, same price as the 650's you are looking at

Thanks GunJack, I shall have a look into those as a possible purchase instead. Have you tried them yourself?

not personally (smallest I have is a 1100 mAh ego twist as a backup to the vamos and X6) but they are genuine kanger and well-thought of... and almost twice the capacity for same price as the smaller ones you were looking at.

Have you considered the Innokin MVP2 ? It`s a step up from what you have been using. May be too big for you. You get two days-ish out of the built in rechargeable battery and you can also use it to charge your phone etc in an emergency. Best Ebay price here -

Thanks guys, I will look into the suggestions, although I am only looking for a smaller style battery, I even found the Spinner too big! lol
