That's one bad dude right there.

Weighs a ton. A friend of mine ran his over with his truck for fun...put the tank on it and vaped.

Comes with a flashlight

I have two Provaris that I really like, but I sent a third one back. I wasn't comfortable with the way it went through the menu options. I think the Porvari people thought I was nuts, but they are going to refund my money. The customer service is outstanding and I thought I would still order another one, but instead you have me very interested in the e-lvt. How is the warranty on this mod. I like the looks of this and I am not a fan of box mods, but this looks pretty nice. Where did you order yours?

About the worst thing - beyond cosmetic dings - that seems to happen from a fall is the force and weight of the battery might compress the spring a bit on impact, resulting in some flaky contact issues. So ya take the cap off, stretch the spring a bit and... there ya go.
This happened to mine. Dropped it off my lap while sitting on a lawn chair, it hit the concrete and I immediately had button issues. The guy at the B&M where I bought it tried to pull the spring back up but there was still some jiggling going on so I told him to put it in the hospital. It's all good though, I still have 2 others working perfectly.

One year warranty.
I gotta say that i prefer almost any other mod due to its weight, HOWEVER when i am hunting the provari no longer goes with.
I bring the vape-a-brick.
Waterproof, shockproof, oopsproof,screwitproif,letstrythatproof....
My provari has done somd wild stuff and lived, but i have dropped the brick out of tree stand onto rocks, into mudholes and had to use a shovel to find it, backed over it with a trailer, and other stuff that i dont recall.
I keep cheap aspire tanks on it while hunting.
Its durable enough that i pay the same attention to it that i wohld a hammer- i dont worry about the brick, i worry about what its hitting.
I have literally pounded nails wih it.

I have one - but are you working outside during the summer? I guess if you're outdoors just to enjoy yourself - leisure etc - yeah great buy but if the CHANCES of dropping your ecig are greater than the norm you may want to carry a simple spinner and rugged plastic or enclosed bottle or the like. Or take what you have now on the job and save the Provari for home ... you know - if you're a semi-professional SKATEBOARDER you may want to do that! Just because it's rugged doesn't mean I want to drop it! =)
