Let Us Now Praise Sturdy Gear

[Call Me Chuck]

How often we hear in this forum of pricey gear that stopped working after it was dropped. Sounds to me like planned obsolescence. Let's use this thread to recommend gear that has proven to be sturdy.

Steer clear of mentioning yet again the gear that didn't make it. B-o-r-i-n-g! This is a good-news blog.

My own example: the no-brand-name ego-style clones I got in a starter kit at EasyVapors.com--with two vapes, etc.--which cost me $26 (now down to $22). I've replaced worn-out batteries ($7) and gotten extra clearomizers ($2-$2.50) for different flavors, but I've dropped that vape just about every day. No problems!

Maybe I should knock on wood by saying this, but in the 3 years I have been vaping.....I have never yet dropped a mod. Of course, now that I have said it, I'm doomed.

My Reos, they've been dropped from 4'+ plus onto concrete doors flew off, batteries went flying the other way. Once put back together they vape like nothing ever happened. If I wasn't such a perfectionist and disliked scratches I would make vidoes of me throwing them for fun, having no fear they would still vape the exact same way as they did pre chunk.

Provari.

I drop all my stuff, and it all works. It doesn't even get dinged or scratched. And I have hardwood floors.

OT: I just wanted to say I've seen your avatar a few times and if that's who I think it is I love that movie.

I can't top my Reo's. A couple of times I climbed out of my Ranger to hear the dreaded clunk of one of my Reo's hitting the concrete parking lot. I know I never have to have any concern if it still works flawlessly, but I would hate to discover even a paint chip from my negligence! So far, so good! Not a scratch or problem

Can't expect us to stay on topic on the sites equivalent to Christmas eve.

+1 on the REO Grand. Been using the same one for almost 5 years now, I need a durable mod, and I am extremely hard on it. I have issues with my hands and I have dropped it countless times. Knocked it off the desk, counter, and basically anything else I have set it on. Used it as a hammer in a pinch to hang pictures on the wall, break up ice in the freezer, or numerous other small home projects. Dropped it in the pool, puddle, ocean, and just about anything else that can support sea life. Used it to play catch with my dog. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking and wears each scratch like a badge of honor. It still works as well today as day one. It does not get any more durable than this.

My poldiac. 3 years and tortured endlessly on construction sites, yet works like the day I took it out of the box

I dropped my rDNA40 onto concrete as I was getting out of a cab last night and it still works perfectly.

Agreed...as long as that's Leon.

Because it's the professional.

Over 2 years old and still works perfect -had to remove a small burr on the end cap after a big impact with a concrete floor, but surprisingly, no real damage. ProVari works.

REOs and GUS mods. The REOs are solid - nuff said. The GUS mods are built like a tank - they take a beating and still work and look beautiful. I work in an industrial environment and there is no such thing as a "at home mod". If it can't hack it, I don't buy it.

Thanks for the posts that are ON TOPIC. Why make people looking for guidance wade through all the adolescent guffawing?!?

My Lavatube v1. 2 years old and working, working and working like a beast.

Just like an iphone they make it cheap so when you break it you buy another I use a good amount of mods daily, one always tips over from my desk and hits the floor. Ive never dropped one whilst holding it
