My trusty REO Grand has been taking a beating for well over 2 years, and since I switched to an rba last summer, rocks harder than ever.

Hmmm.... Did you use high-drain batteries? (Maybe it's the battery and not the kick? Guessing.)
IDK, OP.
I'm real sorry for your frustrations; I think we've all been there with some set of e-cig "junk" at one point or another. And sometimes it's just...picky stuff...like center pins.
I use $18.00 VV DIY-Build box mods from MV. Simple regulator that costs me a couple of bucks to replace if it fails. But I'm not picky and I like electronics.
I understand your point. Simple is kinda...Zen. But, other times you want flexibility or voltage consistency. So I'm with one of the other posters above...have both. I have all mech mods as spares. Mech mods don't regulate the voltage so it bugs me. But to each their own. The all-mech stuff is famous for button failures too, since the button takes all the voltage through it.
The kick solution makes a meck mod a regulated electronic mod...but I just use a regulated mod to begin with. lol.

Would you believe that my old MV $35 box mod (my first VV) is almost 2 years old. It's what I use when I'm out doing things where bad things can happen to a PV. I don't seem to be able to brake it, haven't even been able to loose it, and I can't imagine why someone would steal it
Thats what you get when you buy China made junk VV mods.......You have been vaping along time like myself and should have know better.. VV mods are great if you own one thats Rock Solid=Provari USA made, works flawlessly, and last for years....I am so freaking done with these VV/VW pieces of crap. In less than 15 minutes, my SL died, then my Zmax. Throw the same T3 on an old P18650 and it vapes like a freaking CHAMP. I've been doing this for over 4 years and have a shelf full of mods that have taken a beating. Some died a slow, painful death due to how much I use these things. Lord only knows how much I've spent over the years but I am ...... about these two. And this is AFTER replacing a Lambo that lasted just outside the vendor warranty before it turned into an overpriced paperweight desk ornament.
You are absolutely right about that. I hesitated so many times due to the price of the ProVari and have instead thrown away more than enough to have covered that cost! Not following my own advice when I talk to people about getting started vaping. SMH.
