Title says it all. I keep my Vamo in my inside coat pocket when not in use so I don't forget it when I leave the house. So I went to put it back today and missed the pocket. My Vamo fell about 5 feet straight down to my hardwood floor. I was powerless to stop it and had to watch as it hit the floor with a sickening THUD! Annnnd...miracle of miracles, the thing still works! Not a scratch on it. It dented my hardwood floors though! I think I got lucky since it fell straight down and landed on its end, not its side. Whew!
Dropped my Vamo today

And that's why I want one for knocking about, plus it's big and heavy enough to use as an escrima stick.
I want to get a couple of extenders and stack up two 18650s and turn it into a baton. You could knock some heads in with that thing.
And that's why if I ever dropped my VAMO I would worry more about my foot than the PV.

It's stories like these that make my belly warm and my heart beat faster knowing mine IS ON THE MOTHER FREAKIN WAAAAY
I dropped my vamo at work on concrete and it jammed one side of my bottom cap in and i wraped the end cap with tape and used a pair of vise grips to turn it out.
Amazingly no scratches or gummed up threads. This thing is tough!

I've dropped one of my vamos a few times on concrete from 3-4 feet 2 slightly noticeable dings on the top cap area but vapes like a champ. I did drop the extension tube with it in the black sleeve and it dented in the top thread area. 
I had to pull it out with pliers , so one is now in permanent 18650 mode with a wrap on it. Still have a gunmetal and SS one with no drops to there name.

Dropped my Vamo a few times, survived them all. The weak point is the atty connector as it's softer brass compared to the SS body, easy to strip threads if it falls on the atty. I ground down the extra material from the top of the connector as I use an RBA that doesn't need the airflow. The atty screws down on the body now, much stronger because it can't get tweaked side to side like when there is a gap.
