I dropped my eVic from a height of 3 ft. onto concrete. I knew it wasn't going to be good. I picked it up quickly and hit the button and thank goodness all was well. It did get a nice ding on the bottom cap and one on the top ring so it must have hit on the bottom cap first and then the upper part judging by the depth of damage. It may have been worse if it was full size but it was in the 18350 configuration. That's probably what saved it.
