Anyone had a vape mod last for more than a year?

[lostbladder]

I've been through a great deal of smok's and Wismec's. Each seems to last me a year or less before the thing breaks. The buttons seem to just stop working on the Wismec's. If you've had a mod last you longer than a year, what kind was it? Where did you get it from?

Any Asmodus mod, take your pick

Lost Vape Drone BF DNA250C, SX Mini SL class, Vaporesso and Smoant mods I've personally used are still going strong.

They're just getting a little wear and tear on them, and that's mainly cosmetics.

Wismec, SMOK and I think Ijoy are not exactly known for lasting for long periods of time.

All my Innokin and Eleaf mods seem to last and last. Sometimes I wish they would die so I could buy a new toy. My old Wismec Presa and Prime Mini also refuse to die. Aegis and Asmodus make good and reliable mods; I own two Asmodus mods: Colossal and Tribeaut and Aegis Solo, but they are newish, only 1 year old or so, so I don't know how long they will last.

But I've never owned a mod that wouldn't last at least two years.

Never had ANY Regulated and only one other and it was a mech Reo Grand. I do have a Aegis "Legend" coming up on a year now.

Disregard this... I AM in the right thread...In charge of my 3 Grandies, 7yrs, 5yrs and 1year old. Youngest one is teething and keeps climbing out of her cott and appearing in the lounge.

God give me strength!

I've got mods older than 6 years still chugging along just fine... including Wismec and Smok.

Two years of use for my Juul's and still no issues with them.

3 mechs almost 7 years old, and will have them, and in working order, indefinitely. The 6 regulated mods I bought last year, 2 squid double barrels and 4 geekvape solos should last quite some time. 2 of those solos are sealed, and probably should at least test them.

 

[rosesense]

I have many, including egos that are 10 years old that still work. I have only had about 3 vapes die in over 10 years. None of my Wismec and Smok products have died.

 

[fiddleshe]

I have 3 eleaf istick power 80s that have lasted 3 years and still going strong. I got them from vapesourcing.

 

[s0nspark]

I have a secondhand Smok Devilkin that got me started in vaping... It is at least a year old and has been dropped more times than I want to admit. Still kicking right along.

 

[stols001]

1st "real" mod Tesacigs Steampunk nano still going strong. Shockingly enough given my propensity to break things I still have lots of gear that gets along with me and vice versa, so....

I've got 6 year old spinners that work. Haven't used them for a while though. A 5 year old iStick 40 that I still use every day. Some Provaris and Silver Bullets around the same age still used daily. The only mods that died on me were 3 Sigeleis.

Got some unregulated mods some I built myself, some go back to 2011, but nothing with a chip no matter how high end they are. I think failure is built into a regulated mod, mine usually last about month past the warranty if they came from china and 9 or 10 months for a US DNA mod.

Lots of my mods got heavy use for a while and I always seem to find another I like and buy more, especially since FDA Deeming regulations became a threat. So, my mods have generally been used heavy for a while and then intermittently as I moved bank and forth between mods. I can't remember one that just quit on me, at least not a major brand. For most people what usually happens is the battery door breaks off or a mod is dropped many times and finally quits.

Take care of a mod and it will likely last you many years. Rotate mods to distribute usage and buy backups as you find them on sale, especially since we don't know what will happen with the FDA in the future.
