Seeing the pics in the original post, I have to say I was surprised.
I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect the top was only threaded to the plastic screen thing.
Is that right?
If so, it is no wonder these are so fragile. If I had one I would definitely be treating it with TLC at all times.

Ugh, this is the only thing that I don't like about my (the) eVic. It's flimsy as hell. It is Chinese, after all.
But that should be a warranty issue, OP. Good luck! If you replace it with something else, get a VAMO. They're way more sturdy.

you would think they would at least have a small piece of aluminum or other metal reinforcing the plastic between the metal parts might have cost them and extra dollar to do.
instead of plastic tube maybe they can make it half plastic and half metal. like just the screen is plastic and back is full piece metal.
I think some provari users have an email alert for any thread that mentions evic so they can jump in and troll
I love mine, and its a lot durable than the provari crowd keeps claiming, but eventually I will drop it one time too many and break it. (I'm moderately surprised to not be there already.. its taken some insane falls..) That is why I have a vamo on the way. (Until provari does VW they aren't a consideration for me at any price point above $30.. for $40 I can build an armor-plated VV mod, and for the price of a provari I can build an armored DNA20 mod..)
I have to agree with you in how I treat my things, I'm not out to test the durability of anything I own, except maybe my car bc that is merely a toy to me, however that is one hell of Provari you have I would imagine it being pink with some jewels for all it's crowning feats. Good luck with that cure for cancer, however if it doesn't find the cure it has atleast managed to curb the likelihood of many people not getting it due to nasty smoking habits, we all used to have.
I've seen THREE Evics with the same damage.
I repair broken equipment for a local vendor and this is a common fault, the atty wires aren't brilliantly soldered and they are the incorrect gauge for the amount of voltage that goes through them.
The Evic is proving to be an easily damaged device with a lot of electronics failures occurring.
I resoldered the wires on mine after a drop split it open.. its a pain because they can pop off the top connector while working on it. the board has two small holes at the top of it that the wires solder into.. one has a - and one has a +
if you use too much solder and have it come up out of the top too much it will short out on the top connector and the device will say atomizer short
I have broken this exact same joint. I had the wires pull off in the exact same way. The eVic does have a weakness in this one point on the device, and it needs to be addressed in the next generation.
I am unaware of 'many electronics failures' of this device. I do not consider the OP situation an electronics failure. The few issues with the electronics I have read about have been remedied by the free firmware update 1.2. The fact that it can be improved by firmware is impressive and gives this device a lot of room to grow. The folks making this need to improve that structural weakness, give it the ability to power to 15 watts and address the threading wear issue for the 510 threads. Once that is done, the device becomes a much better device that can match anything in its price range.
At a minimum they improved the top cap - newer versions have screws holding it together better. Dunno about the threads on those though.

I have two eVic's that 'died' this way. One from dropping and the other from putting an iClear 30 on it. It's a heavy clearo and the torque of it too much for the poor design of the top cap.
Mine has fallen 3 times so far, and still going strong.Guess it depends on where it lands. We'll see how itds up. I still like it and will get me a 2nd one for sure
I'd think my AGA-T is 2-3 times the weight. There is a difference between broke, which happens sometimes and Dead. Did you even attempt to repair?
Working on month 4 for my eVics - so far so good
Mine dropped last night without a tank or something on it. Was the 4th time it fell, the top is loose, due to a crack in the plastic housing, but wires etc are still connected, for the rest still working, just the top comes off now. Since I have no good glue for it, i am going shopping tomorrow and will glue it back on I guess
this is the exact reason why I leave my evic for at home uses only.
i have dropped my iphone about 500 times and I know that I will break my evic if I don't just leave it in my room lol
waiting on my MVP from a coop and strictly use my ego's when I am out and about.

Those wires look like dental floss..i wont be carrying the evic in my pocket anymore!
