I started gaping about a week ago. I'm currently using a joye ego c twist and I switch between mini novas and kranger pro tanks 2. It's kinda of a long setup to keep in my pocket when at work. I work construction and I'm constantly moving and the thing is getting smashed around in my pocket. Any advice on something smaller to keep in my pocket just to get me threw the day?
A setup that can take a little abuse?

Something smaller, or shorter? 
I'd recommend moving up to a mod, either a mechanical (perhaps with a Kick to change voltage) or a regulated mod to change voltage. Mods are generally either stainless steel or aluminum, so their bodies can take some abuse. They will use removable, rechargeable batteries. Figure on purchasing a charger in addition to batteries.
You can also get all metal tanks, or mostly metal, which can take some abuse. The weak point will be the connector for both of them; not uncommon for a juice device's connector to get broken off inside a mods connector.
Choosing which mod to get is open to discussion. How long do you want the battery to last? All day (usually means a larger or longer mod)? Or would you not mind carrying a spare in a pocket (usually means a smaller or shorter mod that uses a shorter lasting battery).
Box or tube form factor? The iTaste MVP is a sturdy VV box mod with a 2 - 3 day built-in rechargeable battery. It can even recharge your cell phone in a pinch. Just about double the thickness of a cell phone in size so it will easily fit in a pocket.
What's your price range? Without a doubt a Provari will be the most dependable and durable VV mod you can find, and whose manufacturer will repair it for as long as you own it, but you'll spend at least $140 for one.
How important is it to change voltage? This decision effectively divides the choices in half.

Go for a mod man! You sound like a meat and potatoes kind of guy. The kind of guy that needs a rough and rugged mod that'll satisfy that rich, thick vapor craving that every real man has deep down in his prime rib filled gut. Have you ever had that insatiable urge that every man gets, as a beautiful woman walks by. Its that girl you let get away isn't it? Shes in a plaid short skirt and white stockings running up to her lightly tanned thighs. Yknow, when she walks up to you with a confident smirk on her pink glossy lips, slips her pointer finger into your shirt collar with a swirl around your chest. She squeaks. You watch her smile before she pulls you toward her candy apple red camaro. She opens the door brushing against the front of your slacks before running around the car and jumping into the passenger's seat. You get in and turn that key. Shes looking over at you like your a GOD. The engine starts and you press down the gas with it in park. The engine revs like a damn monster. Your heart is pounding now. You turn out of the parking lot and it's a strait road cut out of a plateau that you can see stretch on for miles. Zero to 60, 80, 90, 120, 150, your palms are sweating. She leans over, and kisses your neck, before resting her nose under your chin...
Thats what it feels like to fire up a Provari.

I work in a factory, and take my ProVari Mini with me each day. If something bad were to happen, I'm pretty sure it would survive, or at least be repairable. I normally use glass carto tanks, but for work, I take my Fluid Flask, as the tube is plastic, and it's got that cool looking cage thingy on it.
I have a silver bullet and have literally drop kicked (accidentally) that thing across or shop and it still works just fine. They are fairly bullet proof. No pun intended.
Not really small though.

My suggestion would be to invest in a neck pouch or neck lanyard. When you're not using it tuck it under your shirt to avoid accidental tangling.
A cheap alternative is a couple of mini ego batteries and a couple of evod tanks. It's a small setup that is less likely to be broken in your pocket and it can take some abuse. If something happens, no big deal.

After a post like that I HAD to look the Provari up....If the guy in that story had bought one it would explane why that "candy apple red Camaro" was HERS. After an "investment" like that I'd doubt our "handsome hero" would be left with gas money...LOL.
If you have the cash, get a MicroStick! Not much bigger than a box of matches and built like a tank. $200 with the atty but you'll have it for the rest of your life.

I think the price is pretty fair for what it is. I used to think the price was ridiculous, but I think I've come to my senses.

Now I'm not usually one to be a bring down on a post like this, but $120 just for an empty aluminum box that has a 510 connector and a push button? Ok, so the push button has a mechanical lock out. Is that a feature worth $100? It doesn't even come with a battery or Ato. Really?
I can make one of these using a project box from Radio Shack, a 510/eGo connector, and if I looked hard enough I might be able to find a simular button. Plus I'd make it bottom vent so you could screw a MT3s, Evod, Mini Davide, Mini Protank, or whatever YOU prefer to vape with, into it. And that's before I'd look into putting a battery charge indacator or VV resistor control on it.
I'm not saying that this is not a good set up. It looks very well engineered and is easy to look at. But I just think it's WAY over priced for what you get.
Sorry.
Billet Box. Not cheap ($170), but it's indestructible. Fits in a pocket better than a tube mod. Reos are built well, too, but the atomizer screwed on top is a weak point.
you get what you pay for is so true in the world of e cigs i do tech work on catv lines ive dropped my provari several times on everything under a telephone pole ( gravel, concrete,parking lot )you name it but it still fires up now thats not saying the carto or tank etc survived but them things are throw away anyway.But now ive found a holder for my mod that never happens anymore.The holder is a mini mag flashlight holder i had to mod the bottom but it works terrific
Hey Bizarro. I'm in the same boat, broke a couple egos, and broke a couple protanks on my siegli telescope. Finally found the Reo grand. Big fan, except for the silly door, and my silly attempt at fixing it which made it much worse. Other than that, my reo grand tumble aluminium finish with a reomizer 2 is solid as a rock. IT's kicking ... at work and taking a beating, but still looking pretty and vaping like a pro! If you hold out till the end of this month there should be Billet Boxes in stock, this may be the best option if you're searching for durability and reliability. It is very self contained, with the only need from you being some punched 510 cartos, which you can get for really cheap in packs of five or something, and your drip tip of preference.
Needless to say, I'm probably getting one for work (and cause it's pretty).
