i not helping Dan and decoy I've been avoiding those threads like the plague!

I might be tempted to let you buy the rose I have enroute if you ask nicely..

Or you could pm arron and he'll sort you out..

Already have 3 roses so I would be willing to sacrifice my fourth one (on it's way to arron as we speak) and I'll take another Kato or Squape depending on what's going spare..

Dan, you seem to know what you are talking about so here's my problem which is driving me to distraction, I have the following items, two vision spinner 11, and 3 evods, one of the spinners after charging it will not light up to let me vape unless I keep my finger on the button for a few seconds and sort of manipulate it if you see what I mean and that's after each vape, it's driving me nuts. The evods when fully charged and showing the blue light won't vape at all, I've cleaned them and lifted the centre pin but to no avail so at the present I've only got one vaper for use and I'm getting with drawl symtoms. Any ideas Dan? and is it normal for this type of battery to last only 5 months and if so is there any other product you would recommend, thanks, Jamesrd

Hi jamesrd

My knowledge is mostly about what I have owned myself. Learnt the hard way I guess!

Did you buy the items from a uk vendor?

The spinner sounds like it has something wrong with the switch connection. Unfortunately to get at the switch, you'd need to pull the topcap off and check all of the connections. Could be a dry joint, a loose wire, or just a dodgy switch.

With the evods, when you've previously screwed your tanks on, do you just nip them up or do you tighten them fully down?

Theres a small insulator under the firing pin of the battery which could have been damaged. This could have shorted the batteries.

I'm no expert with these type of batteries so it may well be worth starting a new thread in the general or beginners forum where you may receive better answers. Seems you've had a lot of bad luck!

Spinners are generally a good bet for reliability, but you could consider the innokin mvp2. It has an inbuilt battery like the spinner but uses a usb port to charge it. It is a very popular device but you're looking at around £35-40 to buy one..

thanks Dan for your quick response, I bought all my equipment from mypack in May this year, I don't screw the evods too tight just nip them, I'll have a go at the vision and see if it's possible to fix it, I'll also have a look at the innokin, since packing in smoking I now am a bit dependant on vaping and actually prefer it to a cigarette so I'll have to have something reliable, I'll contact Ash at Mypack and see what he has to say about them. thanks again,  Jamesrd
