Have You Ever Broke An RDA/RTA?

[Jumpin' In...]

Had a mod with a Kanger Mini Pro tank 2 fall off my bed stand. The MPT2 hit a baseboard, the glass tank cracked and the narrow metal chimney snapped off where it attached to the top, drip-tip section of the unit. The metal tube just cracked off.

EDIT: Oops - sorry. Although I used to rebuild its coils, the MPT2 isn’t really a “RDA/RTA”.

I had a Dark Horse RTA clone (cheap) that had one of its press fit posts fall off.I took a sliver of tin foil around the bottom of the post and gently hammered it back in place.The fix did work ...............for a little while.
Never really liked that atomizer anyway so, no real loss.

The only tank i have ever broke besides the glass was the OG griffin because it had a press fit base

Reload rda clones:

1,2,3) Post(s) snapped off
4) The posts were very close together from the start, maybe 1mm gap between them - bent together and shorted
5,6,7) Still fine!!! Each clone differs in terms of the size of the post holes, distance between the posts, post durability, type of screws etc - as soon as I found the ideal deck in terms of how easy it is to build on (the flavour is always roughly the same) I stocked up a little bit and there haven't been any issues, almost negating the need to stock up.

The cost of an authentic reload is so high that I'm more than happy to keep buying clones...

My first Devil rda still has the first build I put in it because the screws snapped off in each of the positive posts so I can't ever change the build that's in there. I do wonder if it will ever become unusable - I just keep cleaning and rewicking it. I bought a replacement because it tastes great but I haven't used it yet and its been at least 4 months now.

I lost the top cap to my phobia rda if that counts.

Dropped my Tsunami pro rda and the cap bent inwards. Was actually relieved to have an excuse to throw it away. I've hated every Geekvape product I've had the displeasure of using and will never waste money on them again.

not sure why the glass did not break?
bent one of the support bar behind the glass,will try to bend it back when I rework wick.it seemed to make the coil and wick last longer for now.

Despite my best efforts, I have never destroyed a rebuildable (that I know of, should be my disclaimer) and I've tried pretty hard on multiple occasions. I did kill my first doggy style although to be fair, I'm not sure if the deck magically vanishing after I put it away to give myself some breathing room COUNTS, but that particular doggy was possessed.) I refuse to count it.

But Just Ask Me about my Ego Mega and other Joytech CLR accepting tanks sometime..... I could tell you about the 18 or so ways I destroyed them completely. LOL.

I busted an awesome atty trying to drill out the air hole The drill bit snapped inside.

The iGo L? I busted mine exactly the same way

I'm a sloppy vaper, I don't clean up my tanks after using them and they stand there. One of my Kayfun mini bases rusted the screws (that weren't SS). I couldn't know if that was a clone, as they were so expensive I would buy the bases and then third party chimneys and the rest of the tank. So until this day I don't know if it was a Svoemesto base or not. It stayed there for two or three years until I found it.
