Pico.
When the Pico's came out (2016) my four saw fairly regular use off and on for maybe a year and a half plus before they were retired. But my Provari run was short lived, about 6 months from the fall of 2013 to early 2014 when I retired them and all their endless accessories. I liked the Pico's, and even used them for my wee hours of the night errand runs 2-3 times a week. Even had a custom car carrier cup made special for two of them. But in the end I couldn't say the same for the later. (In fact two of the three 'special ones' were never used, and the third one saw almost no use as well.) They just didn't get it done for me (nor did PV).
I've heard Wismec aren't that great @lostbladder, but they're better than SMOK.
But you should be able to get a replacement Legend and Double Barrel, as they're not fit for purpose and have failed within 6 months. And lean on the retailer or retailers, they're the ones that have sold you inherently faulty goods.
But for working mods I have Lost Vape Drone BF DNA250C, SXmini SL Class, Smoant Battlestar, Smoant Battlestar Mini, Vaporesso Switcher, Vaporesso Luxe, Voopoo Argus GT, Freemax Maxus 100W and Steam Crave Hadron in the collection.
Apart from the occasional bit of errata now and again, none have had any serious issues.
Haven't got round to the Hadron, Argus GT and Maxus 100W yet. But I'm looking forward to using the Hadron with the Squonk backpack, it uses a tried and trusted YiHi chipset and they're kind of built like a tank.

And oddly in posts like these the person has never dropped any mods, with the only accident being the mod fell over on it's side.
I, on the other hand, have accidentally booted, slapped mods off tables, kicked one off of the third floor of a parking garage while drunk after watching the GoGos farewell tour, and they all still work.

I admit I did have a mod die at the one year mark, a Wismec RX75.
It fell out of my pocket into a bonfire.

The 18650 exploded with a small pop. I expected more of a fireworks show.
All you need is the one
I thought I best collect 50 myself though
That’s a little extreme. I only need 30 or so. Maybe a few more than that just because I wanted the colors.
They have a good sale going, 60% off.

I got a couple more Lustros for 20 something dollars. Can’t beat that with a stick. Those are one of my fave dual battery mods ever, and I didn’t think I’d like them because of the odd shape and not so great reviews, but they’re a great vape, easy menu, and tough. I’ve dropped them, had tank leaks, nothing seems to faze them.
Lustros are the bomb they are my favorite Asmodus product and I own a ton of them for a non fan girl. It just sort of happened. I blame Vapor ranage, actually. I don't know if they got crates of them that fell off a truck or what. Oh I have lots of other mods.
I had a Wismec tank once. It did not last long but I was using ego mega one coils in it so go figure...

I have small hands and arthritis but nonetheless my most common mod accident is a domino like crapalanche on my desk where I bump one of the mods on my desk and it knocks over the next, which knocks over the next, etc. LOL
I think it was the legend I heard had a battery issue. There are fixes on YouTube I’ve seen.
But my aegis solo I’ve used for over a year and it’s still going strong. I had one innokin coolfire IV mod with a built in battery that lasted just over five years with daily exclusive use. It’s an older mod though and I’d go for a solo if I was in the market for more mods.
The term "Made in China" comes with negative connotations for reasons.
That said, I've had 3 mods fail in 11+ years vaping.
China clone of vaporflask BF. Just died after a couple months.
Joyetech eVic VTC screen died. Mod still works. (Was a couple years old when the screen went out)
Joyetech eVic VTwo 510 connector stripped out in under a year. Took board out and made an ugly squonker. Still works.

between my autoimmune disorders leaving me with no strength in my hands, arthritis making it difficult to grasp things and if I twist my wrists just right I lose all control of my hands.... I've dropped my mods more times than I can count....my poor isticks I even put a lanyard on them so I couldn't drop them because I did drop them that many times...and I don't just mean oh no I dropped them onto the padded carpeted floor, no no...I mean dropped them onto the concrete sidewalk/parking spot....
but yet they still working just fine (aside from the isticks but they were several years old before they crapped out, one the battery went out on the other the 510 which was I'm fairly sure due to a faulty rda)
aegis takes a beating and keeps on ticking, just some chipped paint off of the buttons and skelton
I agree with Mordacai, if the mods are under a few months they should still be under warranty either through the seller or the manufacture...
I've only been using mods rather than all in ones since October of last year but in that time I've been lucky enough to only have two mods that have gone to crap both of them within the first 31 days of ownership both of them sigelei. The manufacturer warranty did in fact go through without a hitch though I did have to pay to send it to them they paid to send it back to me. It's worth a try with the manufacturer's warranty if you're within it and you bought it from a licensed dealer. Your results will vary but I think it's worth it as long as the value of the mod is more than the shipping cost
