Mine has, repeatedly. The finish has the scars to prove it though.

The Sig 50W v2r is on clearance for $19 at 101vape.
Istick 100W is like $28 at VapeNW.

Sounds like you've been lucky. I read about 3 of them so far that have quit after being dropped.
That's not huge percentage of the ones out there though. Bet there are way more stories about rx's not breaking. I'm not claiming that it's a particularly durable device, it's weight will make it more vulnerable than lighter mods, but it's not something that's ridiculously fragile.

3 stories is enough for me to stay away from them and not recommend them as a beater mod. The first story that was posted only fell off a 15" table. That sounds pretty fragile to me.
Mods these days are so heavy with the high amp batteries that they hit hard when they drop. My idea of a beater mod is one that is cheap, works well, and can be replaced at low cost when it dies, kind of like a fishing/hunting vehicle where you don't care about how it looks ... only that it works when needed, does the job, and can be replaced cheaply.
My beater mod is an old iStick 20W that's been knocked around for a year and a half. It's scratched up, not too pretty, but it keeps on ticking and fits in a pocket while I'm cutting grass. If it falls out and gets chewed up, I'm good. It's served its purpose. When it dies, my Innokin Coolfire 4 will become the grass cutting mod

I have my old iStick 20 that I've had for years now and it's like a Timex watch. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Work on the car with it; I have dropped it several times. I would highly recommend it for a cheap beater
My gf uses the Wismec 40 TC, great little mod and she drops it at least once a day Still working! It has a rugged and high quality feel to it.

I've been running 2 istick 30's for well over a year... I love em. They hold my subtank plus nicely. I throw em in my backpack or purse and haven't had any issuea. Wanted a ne w mod so i got the istick 40 w tc that I haven't and may never use. I love the look and feel of it...The search continues. However, as I was going through my night stand on Thursday night, I found my old istick 30w that I'd bought to run my lemo drop on a year or so ago. I'd forgotten about that little guy so I threw a quick .6 ohm single coil build in my derringer. Not too shabby at all so I think it will work until I find what I'm looking for.

Yes but only 3000mah tops.
At 50 watts a battery would last half a day I'm assuming.
I'm still going to say istick50.
I don't care if they say they blew up caught on fire had a bad button clicks button whatever!
I've had mine for almost a year and it's been dropped on hardwood floor from 4 feet.
Juice spilled all over it and in the 510.
Shorted out multiple times do to my mess up builds.
Plug it back to the charger and it works again every time.
Perfect pocket friendly with a lemo or your preferred tank.
Amazing feel and doesn't weigh as much as a brick mod.
4400mah so depending on how you vape say 20-40watts your going to get 2 days before charge. Ill leave it at that.
Now unless your going to be running fused clapton alien crap fuzz nut coils
It's really a no brainer

hahaha. Mine has a similar story, especially the crap builds and spilling juice all over it, sometimes at the same time.
I really like it, especially when at work.
I just don't have time to mess around with fussy stuff at work. I have to 60 watt isticks but the door pops off when I knock it on the floor. That's not an issue with the 50. My office floor is cheap carpet over concrete and I haven't busted it yet, dropping it at least twice a week for over a month now
I agree with you on the fit, finish, and performance of the iStick 50W. I loved mine, but had to make a quick decision after the second one died with a black screen. The warranty was about to run out and I had to make a choice for switching to something else under the vape shop's local warranty. I picked the Coolfire 4.
The QC may have improved after that. I'm glad to see that they are holding up and performing as advertised.
How about istick tc100w? Great battery life, good form factor

I ran across a sale at www.VaporBeast.com on the Innokin MVP 3.0 Pro 60W for about $35 on sale with free shipping a few weeks ago. It's back up to $43.97 now.
The Innokin MVP 3.0 Pro 60W is a self contained battery mod with 4500mah capacity. I get two days of vaping at 10W on a charge and it has a USB charging port.

And don't underestimate the Provari 2.5. It can take it also. I have had mine for over three years now and I haven't been gentle
