The REO Mini in silver anodized is a very tough surface and if you do manage to scratch it, the scratches won't show. Actually, all of the REO metals are highly scratch resistant, except for the polished, which is not anodized.
Best highly portable worry free mod

Drop it, toss it, all mechanical, worry free pv? The Copper Q3* from AtmosUSA. That thing is indestructable. I have one and can testify. You can throw it across the alley into a brick wall and it would still keep working. Just bend the carto back into place, if you can.
You could run over it with a tractor and it'd be fine.
You can drop it out of your shirt pocket onto the cement and it will be fine. (just pop the carto back into position).
It is not made out of copper, it's made out of solid brass. Even the endcap is a joy to use, because of the way they threaded it. I love everything about it. They've even made some cool homemade tanks for it with the plunger ring still attached to make it easier to plunge.
Can't go wrong with this mod even if you tried.
Another great one is the Reo Grand. Totally mechanical, lasts all day long and then some (6ml bottle, 18650 batt). But, I would hesitate to test it against a brick wall due to it's price and due to it's sheer beauty. It might stand a test or two, but I'm not going to be the one to do it. The door would probably fall off, and that's about it. Maybe some knicks and scratches. But the body is Airplane Aluminum and should withstand quite a bit of shock. It's not like the Solid BRASS Copper Q3* that will go through any test and still be fine, but it's still a real dandy and should be on everyone's easy to use, all mechanical, list.

Once you decide to spend the money on a mod, I think you should get something that does variable voltage.
I've dropped my Reo Grand on the concrete more then a few times and it has no noticable scratches or dings. The door actually stays on pretty well. I just pick it up and continue to vape. No leaks either. This is a solid unit.
While the Woodville is a good PV, it's not the type of mod that I would consider taking out with me. One fall on concrete, and that beautiful wood would probably shatter since it is put together like a mosaic.
The Roughstack is a good, simple mechanical device, but you still need to either drip or use a tank or refill carts/cartos. Since the switch is on the top, you can only use the tank with some sort of large extender.
Especially for being out and about, nothing beats the convenience of a bottom feeder. If it gets a few dings along the way of keeping me away from analogs, so be it!

Actually the Woodvil is carved from a solid block of wood. The door is a separate piece set in a dovetail. While wood is not as durable as anodized aircraft aluminum, and I wouldn't take my burl out and about, I have an Oak Woodvil that has withstood a fair amount of abuse.
Another vote for the e-power. Modular design and relatively inexpensive batteries make it one of the best 'bang for buck' mods out there imo.
edit: I have an ego kit as well as an e-power, but when the ego batteries go, I just might spring for the v-mod from vapage. I like the looks of it.

With a standard resistence atty, it's not 9+ watts, it's 8.5 watts which is right in the sweet spot of 4.7 to 5 volts. The 5 volt GLV2 is one of most popular mods sold. I'm sure some people prefer little to no throat hit as you do but quite a few of us like a good, consistent throat hit when we vape. That's why so many people buy high end variable volt, regulated power and 5 volt PV's.
Another Vote for the REO!!!
I use my mini all the time when I'm out. Since it's made from aircraft aluminum. It's actually one of the only mods that is basically indestructible. I even seen a member that accidentally ran over theirs with a truck and no real damage was done. What other mod out there can make that claim?
The REO Grand and mini was basically made to be abused and for the worker in mind. If you are interested than please take a look in the REO sub-forum better yet. If you have questions than don't hesitate since there's a LOT of people willing to help out:
Reos Mods
All in all, you get what you pay for and a REO stands for quality and durability.

Highly portable and worry free = Reo Grand or Reo Mini. I'm partial to the Grand.
Fairly inexpensive = Shine Mod + tank mod from parkesvaping.com
Lots of different ways you could go, depending on how much you want to spend and how you like to vape.
I have an ego passthrough battery, it's not much bigger than the cigarette type batts and I can charge and vape at the same time. I can vape heavily for 8-12 hours without charging.
