Now stop talking about all this great stuff/sales, I need to stop buying
Wrong place to be hanging around if you want to stop shopping. Way too many enablers (including me) around here.

They are easy to remove, can't be re-used as they stretch and they don't leave a residue.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm underestimating the durability of a sub $50 mod. Outside of damaging it (stripped threads, juice flooding, etc), how many folks have had one fail in less than a year?
I used a zmax and SID for over a year straight with no issues. I still have both but don't use them. My wife went through 4 itastes but they all failed because the internal batts really suck. Most of us are done with internal batts so that type of failure doesn't count.
My isticks are over a year old and working totally fine. They will die eventually when the won't hold a charge anymore.
Now I have a bunch of cloupors, picos, and vtc's. Each one (properly cared for) could have a potential life expectancy of much more than 1 year. Could one last 5 years of regular use? Hard to say. I suppose it's possible. The threads and fire buttons are probably the weakest spot. I wonder how hard it would be to replace a fire button?

Thank you!
Just wanted to add that if you have the V2, by chance, the wrap MAY take the logo off in time. The logo wears off anyway so not a big deal to me but I thought I should mention it. If you have the newer versions with the engraved logo, no problem.
[QUOTE="Provari P3 a Provari P3 for 89.99.... of course I had to order one..[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the heads up! I was going to get another radius, but couldn't resist that price. I will now have two P3's in the stable.

Hopefully, what should be the last nic orders I should have to make, will arrive today, 2-1000ml bottles + some 120ml storage bottles. This gives me over 4,000ml's tucked away.

I looked at DWF's site, and didn't see them, but with eight Provaris, and more than a few mech's, I really don't think I need another P3.
Yeah, but knowing me, by the time next month rolls around, and the cc is paid off, I just might have to do another 1000ml's.

I buy much more, I'll need to buy another freezer.
I know what you mean. I store the nic in the door, and I think there is just enough room left for what I've got coming. When that's used up, the wife is gonna have to start cooking up what's in there.

It was in the clearance section towards the bottom. Polished only.

I would rather underestimate than overestimate. I gave my regulated a life expectancy of 3 months. Mechs 1 year.
It's kinda hard to Say how long a Mod, either Inexpensive or Not, will last.
I have a Smowell DPV-50 that I have used the Hell out of and it is in about the Same condition as the Day I took it Out of the Box.
But then I have an Oniyo 30W (which has all the Style of a Bar of Soap, but is one of my Favorite Mods. LOL) which has had light use and the Fire Button is already starting to get Wonky.
Has anyone used this site 3FVAPE. Is there a coupon? I thought I saw this site mentioned but can't remember on which thread.
Thanks

In my almost 6 years of vaping I've had 1 Infinity, 1 Buzz Pro, I Zmax,and 1 Woodie die (none with internal batteries and all died somewhere within the first year). One Istick died within 3 months. Several 510's, Ego's and Twist died on me between one and 2 years but all were because the internal batteries finally gave out as expected. That's very few deaths considering the number of devices I own and have used but shows they do die unexpectedly. None of my Mechanical's have died nor needed major repairs so far. (knock on wood) I do think an important factor is how many devices are you using at one time so how much actual usage is each one getting daily or weekly ?
I'm using 3 years as my measure for each regulated mod. They won't be the only mods I'm using daily as I like my mechanicals too but since I won't be adding to my collection they will get more usage over the short haul then some of mine do now. No idea if that will turn out to be a good number or not as I'm sure some will last longer and some shorter, but its the best I could come up with

It's a tough "calculation" for sure. I sort of look at reg mods like a TV in regards to the static electrical components. If it doesn't fry in the first 6 months then chances are the electronics are good for years. But the mechanical parts (threads and buttons) do have a lifespan. I kinda like the magnetic battery doors on some of my mods vs the threaded like the Pico. One less thing to go wrong. Magnets can be easily replaced. Threads are inherently more complicated.
I have a hunch that there will be plenty of tutorials on how to replace fire buttons down the road if the regs end up staying as is. lol
I did a search and while there are a lot of coupon codes, none seem to be active.Has anyone used this site 3FVAPE. Is there a coupon? I thought I saw this site mentioned but can't remember on which thread.
