The Waffle​

I’ve had a couple of Joye eGo-C Twists since they came out – and whilst I’ve enjoyed there use, they can be difficult to adjust with wet hands and quite difficult to see the settings – so thought the Vision Spinner might be worth a try.

The Spinner comes in 1100mAh which is a bit bigger than I’m used to, but surprisingly comfortable in me hand – tho they're ‘goalkeepers’ hands as I was often told! The ‘Spinner’ has a ‘knurled’ base with which thee turn or ‘Spin’ the dial clockwise to increase the Voltage, which allows an easier grip then the Twist. It also has a clearly visible red line on the dial, and markings on the battery at 3.3, 3.8, 4.3 and 4.8V – again for me an improvement on the Twist’s engraved markings.


Having got out my screw-into-the-connector Vmeter (from StiG on UKV) the markings are about spot on – even underload:

Spinner says - Meter Says - With a 2.4 Ohm Vivi Nova

3.3V - 3.3/3.4v - 3.3v
3.8v - 3.8v - 3.6/3.7v
4.3v - 4.3/4.4v - 4.3v
4.8v - 5v - 4.8v

Usability:​

For the 3 days I’ve had the Spinner I’ve been using it as my main Vape with no issues – 10 hours (ish) is not bad running it on average (I’d say) at 4V with a 2.4Ohm Vivi Nova – for the 1^st 2 charges anyway.

It’s not as big as I thought I’d be, fits easily into me combat pocket and fits nicely in me hand – and with a black plinth on it looks pretty good too.

Summary​

Misses:
Not its fault – but never been a fan of the eGo button

Will have to wait and see how quickly the markings rub off – or Varnish them

Too long to fit comfortably into the Kuwako and use like an ePipe

Hits:
Easier to see and change the voltage than the Twist

Delivers the same Voltage underload as the markings say

Cheaper than the 1000 mAh Twist

Slightly shorter (2mm LoL) and an ickle wider than the Twist

Overall​

I’ve been impressed with the Spinner – the niggles I had with the Twist – despite it’s good performance – such as changing and seeing the voltage – have been addressed with the Spinner and improved upon. The performance seems to match the Twist, tho I can’t compare directly with the 1000 mAh as I’ve been happy with a couple of 650’s. Underload it performs better than the iTaste and for me the Smok VV Gripper and at the 20 GBP price point is seeming like excellent value for money.

Gotvapes is hinting that they will be getting a 1300, 650 and 450 mAh versions, in several colours to expand the Spinners range.

As things stand, depending on continued use and longevity, I’d probably point folk towards the Spinner over the Twist – tho it would be a close call.

Will also probably get some lacquer to keep the v markings intact too!

Great Review thanks!

I'm quite a fan of the ego twists .. but you are right about the spinner being a bit tricky at times .. looks like this could sort that! and if its a bit cheaper ..

reckon this is what i need when I go away next month

TBH I was surprised that Vision's 'Twist rip off' performed as well as the Joye original - and surpassed it in usability
Not sure how big the 1300 mAh will be - but the 450's should be ideal for me Kuwako

I have a 650 Twist just because the bigger ohmage ones were just , well too big. It does suffer a bit on the battery life front . The 450mAh spinner will probably not last very long I wouldn't have thought digi

 

[Digicig]

I get 6-7 hours at about 3.8ish on a 650 - and the amount i use the Kuwako 4-5 hours of VV ePipe should be sufficient and perfect size wise too

 

[Digicig]

FYI - the 1100 mAh Spinner seems to take 4 hours to fully charge using a Joye eGo USB charger and checking against a Stopwatch - thought i'd wait a few days to allow a truer charge time
Can't Edit the review to include this info tho
:64:

These look very interesting. I might wait until they hit the uk vendors

 

[Digicig]

Shouldn't be too long - Empire mods in the US has them now - so GV's exclusive has ended

 

[Digicig]

Now available in 650, 900 and 1100 mAh and exclusively to Gotvapes 400 mAh too - in Black, Pink, Purple, White and Chrome
