Fragile Batteries

[Davo]

I’m so frustrated with e-cig’s fragile batteries. I use the KR808D-1 style (auto - FWIW) and several times over the last year plus that I’ve been vaping, I’ve dropped a battery and killed or wounded it. Are we just simply suffering from Chinese junk or what? Are the “store-bought” mod batteries more durable? I’ve dropped other electronic equipment like cell phones and whatnot and they usually survive, but not these dang batts. And the auto switched batteries and getting e-juice in them… hello, we’re in the 21st century here, seal it, put in a check valve… where can we find an engineer?
Thanks in advance for letting me rant!

Just get a proper battery mod style unit and use good quality IMR cells in it. The long-term cost of operation will be lower because the gear won't constantly need replacing.

The manuals seem more durable than the autos.I switched from V4L batts to a GLV2 and its pretty durable.I drop alot and its held up to it without problems.They just came out with a super Mini and it looks pretty nice in the polished metal color.No paint to chip when it falls.3.7v with one battery.Thats what I did.I still use my V4l batts when Im out somewhere that I need to be more proper.

Yeah I looking more seriously at a good mod, for as many batts as I've either killed or worn out I could have got one... Or two.
