I agree, I don't think I'd have thought about vaping devices being as durable when I worked, but now being retired and oft times out on our quad following a new trail found in the desert, seeing where it'll go, traversing hills and up and down, washes with bumps in the tracks from 4-wheel drive jeeps and side-by-sides (ie ROUGH trails), it's something I think about NOW! and wish things were more durable, too!
I know about folks today and their thoughts cuz I was recently looking on ECF for someone with soldering abilities and knowledge of ego twist bats - I needed a couple fixes on batteries that had never worked since I bought them - to then pass on to someone in need of a backup or the like - and all I got was 'trash it, buy another one' 'they're cheap', 'would cost you too much to have fixed', etc. I felt there was still life in them and they weren't cheap in my eyes ($25-30 each plus shipping costs?) - but haven't found a fix it person yet who was willing to do the job (for less than $50/hr with no guarantees of a good job accomplished on them)... so I keep looking and listening (grin)... I know there must be some out there somewhere! haha
