It finally died.....

[bonnienclyde]

Im literally in mourning. My sigelei 50w died yesterday. I dropped this guy several times a day sometimes on concrete, and it still kept going. And going.And going. Everyone who knows me knows I"m a bit rough on phones and ecigs, and they all couldn't believe how tough that little bugger was. I've had it about 2 years or so, daily use, took it to work every day. Never had the slightest problem out of it. I think I gave around 25 dollars for it, and sure got my money's worth and more.

I feel like I lost an old friend! Truly, I do!

I know I can get another, but it won't be the same. Off to look for a new one that might do as well.

A forum-wide moment of silence, please....

 

[bonnienclyde]

Yes, r77r77r. Yes, this is the reverence it deserves! Lol(but actually kinda serious)

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'm just so sad, I know there will never be another one like it.

 

[r77r7r]

I meant it to be serious! I totally understand.

It's like chick stuff but in reverse

This is a good thread...old reliables, like my grandmother's 1970 Plymouth Valiant that she didn't want to part with when it finally died.

Right now I'm waiting for my 18 month old istick 50 to give up the ghost. A day hasn't gone by where it's sat idle since I bought it. It's been my constant companion on thousands of miles of interstate, crossed borders, both by land and air, between countries multiple times, and is by my side at work every day. I've dropped it, spilled water on it, leaked juice all over it, left it baking in 120 degree cars all day, and it just keeps going. It's been rubbed so much that its metallic blue finish has now turned a lovely shade of purple! I only recently finally got a silicone sleeve to keep it "safer".

Throughout all this time, I've pushed it progressively harder, starting with Kayfuns at less than 20 watts, working up to a subtank at 25-30, and now dual clapton Protank 4's at 40 watts. It just keeps going, taking on anything I throw at it.

I have lots of much better stash waiting in the wings to replace it, but I just don't want to retire it. It's my old friend! So far hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, but when it does die I will mourn its passing!

Sigelei has taken a beating lately with the whole temp control fiasco, but man their early mods could take a beating. My Sigelei 100w is all scuffed up but it is still going strong. I have bounced it of the pavement at least 15 times. It finally got knocked out of the daily rotation by the Therion. Still love that mod, it got me off smokes.

Should be bulletproof...Looks like a 5 gallon gas can!

may it rest in peace.

If you're looking for something tough and reliable and relatively cheap,,,,,,

Provari 2.5 polished stainless 29.99 under SPECIALS can not be beat for price, and it will last many years.

A Super T Workhorse with an Achilles II RDA will take a beating. None of my Super T's have ever broken and they've been dropped, skidden on the pavement, etc.

So sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. I think of my SIG150. Tried and true. Through thick and through thin. She sits on the shelf mostly these days but I know I can always count on her. With threads like these, it reminds me of her mortality. I cannot bear the thought.

Any way, RIP ole Sig50, you will be sorely missed. Memorial guest book signed and flowers sent.
