I need a rig that can stand up in a rough environment. My job is very physical, I'm up and down a lot, bending, kneeling lifting and such. I just started vaping and use a CE5 cartomizer. They last about a week before the tank starts to leak. Not the fault of the tanks, just a result of the abuse it goes through. I carry it in my front or rear pants pocket. I can't use a neck strap or "pen" clip as I don't usually have pockets on my shirts.
Other than Provari, which is where I may end up, are there other rigs made of metal? I don't mind going through the $5 bucks for the plastic tank or the parts to repair them (still much cheaper than $10/day for analogs). I just don't like the things leaking.

I have an eGo c and have used the Vision clearomizer but had problems with them leaking when I used cinnamon liquid. Someone here told me about the Vivi mini nova and using it with the Vivi mini nova metal sleeve.

I just put it together this weekend and it is awesome. It's metal so it's strong. Sounds like just the thing you need.

GotVapes ViVi NOVA Metal Tube Cover - GREEN [gv-VIVINOVA-MetalTube-GREEN] - $3.45 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Cinnamon and a few other juices are not recommended for plastic tanks. They can leech into the plastic, cause them to crack and melt. It has to do with the properties of the plastic.

As for durable tanks, on a budget go for the Vision Vivi Nova (not the knock offs) or the Mini version. They can be gotten now with a metal tank that has a small window so you can see your juice level.

If you don't want the window they have the other version as well.

Richmond, Va...Right in Altria's back yard.
You dont have to relegate yourself to just metal tanks. Personally I hate the metallic flavor I can get with some juices and metal tanks. Phiniac makes a really thick walled Pyrex tank thats practically indestructible. Theres a video up on youtube of someone throwing one against a brick wall and it not even having a scratch on it.

I was in a car accident a few months back that wasnt my fault.This guy was texting, and ran right through a stop sign in a residential neighborhood.I saw him and jerked the wheel to the right and floored my truck to get out of his way but he still clipped the last foot of my truck bed and spun me around in the middle of the road and into a bank hard enough to pop both passenger side tires off the rim and do some serious damage to the right side of the vehicle.


I had my Provari with a Phiniac tank in my left hand and both of them went flying out the window and landed on the asphalt. After I got out of the truck and checked to see if my wife was alright and call the cops I strolled over to pick them up thinking the worst. Provari fired right up with only a small scratch to show for it and the Phiniac was flawless except for a small bit of road rash on the delrin cap thats hardly noticeable.

The juice didnt even leak out of it either which was a good thing because I was vaping like a fiend when the police arrived.
