TV time should never be used to judge whether to get a ball or not. As for the Vapor Zone, its a very good ball, controllable strong arc with a bit of pop on the backend. Just wondering about your impulse, did you leave it in box finish and get alot of over under.
For me, the box finish was terrible. The ball would read the mids very poorly and become unpredictable. Since it covered so many boards my first instinct was to polish it higher which didn't help at all. In a last ditch effort I sanded it figuring I could use it for heavy, however the sanding didn't really make the ball hook a whole lot more it just gave it some more control.
It was really like nite and day. I had always changed surfaces just to fine tune ball reaction, but this change gave the ball a lease on life. Some times the oob finish doesn't match up for someone in the least bit and a surface change is needed.
