DURABLE regulated that isn't a ProVari

[havoc1967]

Ok. I have quite a few devices at this point, both regulated and mechanical, and I have also owned quite a few that I gave away or sold over the years. So I'm not new to this. But I do frequently go to this board for advice about future purchases and you guys haven't let me down yet.
Here's what I'm looking for: a DURABLE regulated device. VW, VV or both. Using either one or two 18650 batteries. I have no interest in temperature control and never use usb charging so I don't need either of those. But I am incredibly clumsy and have a tendency to drop things so durability is very important to me. I already have a Provari, which is fantastic, but is kind of under powered and won't sub-ohm. So taking all the Provari models (to include P3 and radius) out of this, what device have you found to be exceptional as far as rugged durability.
Thank you in advance to any that respond and Happy Memorial Day weekend.

Lighter weight helps with impact + a silicone cover to help with impact and damage - ClouporMini30?

I second this notion, I own one and its a tough mod. I'm a steel erector and have dropped it a couple of times from a fair height and its still going strong , wish I could say the same for my tanks lol. Its also dustproof and waterproof to rating ptx4

Invader is the mod I use when I am working outside or on vacation at the beach. I've had mine for maybe close to a year, got it when it first came out. Used it daily up until January of this year.

I have an iStick TC40w that has hit the pavement so many times I should be embarrassed but it takes a licking and keeps on firing.

 

[r77r7r]

Many of the new mods have a silicone cover available. Might help lessen the impact, or at least keep it looking nicer.

What would help was if I did not put it in my lap while driving and forget it is in my lap when I get out of the car! With my Disguiser and the Reuleaux DNA it doesn't happen because you feel the weight.

If you want a plane VV/VW device the Sigelei V3's and V5's can be had very inexpensively right now.

I picked up a few P3U 7-22's that are built like a TANK! (don't drop on foot!) Also inexpensive.

A little early to tell, but the Eleaf Pico seems to be a pretty solid performer so far. I haven't seen any sleeves offered for it yet.

Edit: just did a search and there are sleeves noe. Guess I need to get some.

Lol, ALL my pv drops are from my lap!

The worst was when I did it sitting in my chair at my desk and got up for the phone in bare feet. Nailed me right on my big toe and I went down answering machine picked up as I laid there going! Oww!

Hexohm? VV, 2 18650, bit of a learning curve however. Damn near bulletproof. OH and lifetime warranty.

Having owned three Provari 2.5 and a P3, I have a hard time believing that any other regulated mod could be more durable than a Provari. The new Procyon can fire 0.4 ohm sub-ohm coils up to 50 watts.

And if you do manage to break any Provari, you just send it back to Provape and they will fix it and send it back to you within a week's time. How many of its competitors can/will do that?

Vaporshark does the same.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

My Vaporsharks are durable, yes. Good support, too.

I started out with an Innokin and I still think they build a solid mod. A tad heavy maybe, but they are not made of thin metal.

If the wattage (15w max), the Provari 2.5 blems are a very good deal.

To lessen mod fall overs, I fold a paper towel in the bottom of coffee cups and put my mod in them. I have a mug in most places. Even the car and porches.

 

[afishhunter]

I use a Eleaf TC100W (3 of them) and Reuleaux RX200 (3 of them).
While both have temp control, I never use it, I just use the wattage mode.
I think they are fairly durable and reliable. I am an over the road truck driver, and sad to say, some locations have roads that leave a lot to be desired. My mods have fallen 5 to 6 feet off the shelf/cubby due to rough roads. The magnetic battery doors may pop off and they may spill the batteries, when they fall, but they still work flawlessly.
Yes, my batteries are marked as sets of two or three, so they do not get mixed up.

Any one of the Sigelei 100 to 150s. Rock solid construction, simple chip and durable.

I've had a Provari V2 since 2011. It has rolled out of the car onto a concrete garage floor numerous times with very minor scratches and dents that I have to look closely to see. I bought the extra year warranty for $25 when I bought it. Near the end of the 2nd year I sent it back for a switch issue and it came back feeling and looking like new with a switch that felt very positive on actuation and deactuation. They replaced or polished the 510 contact. It looked to me like they replaced the entire 510 assembly, replaced the battery spring, and buffed the entire tube to a like new satin steel finish. I was impressed with their warranty performance.

My mini Provari 2012 model is still working. I picked up another mini, a Classic and P3. Will add another P3 before deem date
