... Try to avoid running it over with a riding lawn mower.

I wonder how well my P16 would hold up to that kind of punishment... I'm sure it would at least scratch it up a bit.

EDIT: oh wait, I forgot the Prodigy is stainless steel too.

Yeah i don't think any mod, no matter how well built, would have survived that kind of direct impact with spinning mower blades. I'm assuming it fell out of my pocket when i hit a bump on the mower. Then i proceeded to run it over, unknowingly.

Ironically, that Prodigy was my "splurge mod" the one mechanical beast that was going to keep on working no matter what. And i would have gotten away with it to, if it wasn't for that meddling lawn mower.

Luckily i still have plenty of devices to vape on.. byproduct of vaping for 2 years.

EDIT: The more i think about it, i could probably straighten the battery tube... and very likely.. it would still work. The problem with this scenario, there is still a battery in the device. The dents locked that battery in place, very firmly. So i'm not messing around with a battery that's been compromised in such a violent fashion. It's actually sitting outside, well away from the house... until i can dispose of it properly.

I would cry over that. I have 3 of them. Only 1 leaves the house with me. Poor little Prodigy, you'll be missed.

I did a doozy to my Icon. I put on hubby's semi tire while we were doing an inspection. I told him to pull up and forgot about my Icon. Unlike your Prodigy, my little Icon was smashed flat as a pancake...I mean there wasn't a bump left on it. I wish I had a pic to post but I was too heartbroken. For Mother's Day, hubby bought me a new one.

If I send you my bombshell (that I bought in classifieds that worked for 15 mins, then I spent hrs replacing switch (girl soldering) only to have middle piece in connecter pop out AFTER it didn't even work w/ new switch) will you run over IT for me? I've been thinking of ways to beat it up in anger ... this looks good!

Really, so sorry for your loss I sympathize with you!!!!

OUCH!! So sorry!! My hubby dropped his PV down the tower in a nuclear power plant from the very top where he was working... it was never recovered....

Thank goodness he is still on his cheap little KR808D batteries :) and not something as precious as yours!!
