Couldn't find a subforum for this brand, so here I am. I was about to order extra batteries just in case some failed, but it just occurred to me that I have no backup if my SVD craps out on me. How long have you guys had yours? How long do you expect yours to keep kicking, or how long until it officially stopped working?
Lifetime of an Innokin iTaste SVD?

I've had mine since they were available in the US last year. Some people have had theirs crap out already, but mine is still going strong (*fingers crossed that I didn't just jinx mysel*). I think mine is 9, maybe 10, months old, or something like that. It was my only device for several months, after my egos died, so it's gotten a lot of use. I don't think it will be giving out on me anytime soon. The only thing that's "gone wrong" with it is the fire button, which is a little looser now than when I got it. I have to press it in a little more firmly than when it was brand new.
They haven't really been out long enough for any real idea of how long we can expect them to last, but innokin makes good products. Some people still have their MVP 1, or the older versions of the little ego sized things (VVs, I think).

Yup, that would be the Innokin VV3. Nice, but small. Mine's about 9 months in.
Have the MVP1, almost a year old on that one.
My SVD is only about 3 months, so can't really say about longevity, but no issues yet.

I've been using my SVD solid for the past 8-9 months with no issues or hiccups. Works as it should, does what it needs to do and has been extremely reliable as long as I have backup batteries (though a discharged battery is not the SVD's fault! 
).
).That really sucks ToucheTurtle. I've heard of a couple of people with that issue.
My only complaint about mine so far isn't even really the fault of the SVD as far as I know. I got a Helios clone a couple of weeks ago and it won't screw onto the SVD (fits fine on the MVP 2, though, so no worries). I've heard that the original Helios and the clones could have that issue, where they won't fit on some things, but fit fine on others. I figured sooner or later I would come across something that wouldn't screw onto the SVD, I'm just happy I had another device that the topper did fit on.

Will it fit without the SVD top collar? If so, maybe just get the right cone to fill the gap?
Maybe a thread adapter would work, then. At least you have another device to put it on
Yeah, thankfully. The SVD was my only device for months after my egos gave out.
But, I think it IS my SVD It just fell over on my desk and the IGO-L that I've been using on it for a good 7 or 8 months just went skidding across my desk. It just came out of the 510 threading, like it hadn't even been attached. I don't know what's going on with it, unless the threads are wearing out or something. I got it reattached, and it's working fine, but that was definitely weird. But, if it does give out on me in the near future, I still feel I got my money's worth from it. It's been through a lot and is still kicking.I hope that I just didn't have the IGO tightened down good enough, though.
EDIT: Oh crap, never mind. It's definitely my SVD threads
The IGO just keeps popping back up on it, and won't tighten at all. The carto in my Phiniac tank is still working on it, though.

I have had mine for about 4 months and the 510 threads seem to have given up. Can't get my RDA's to screw on anymore. I think it might be my fault though, as it happened after i experienced the dreaded ground fault problem stemming from a worn out rubber gasket underneath the center pin. After replacing it with a sturdy o-ring, it seemed harder to screw on the atomizers. In the end i probably ended up stripping the threads. If anyone knows of a fix(tapping it?), i'd sure like to here it. Unfortunately the 510 threading on the svd is fixed and not press fit.
I've had an SVD in daily use for 7 months, no issues. I have had a VV V3 break apart and an MVP battery die in that time, but the SVD just soldiers through like the cold war era missile it looks like.
This was recently posted on another thread:
EGO to EGO 510 Atomizer Adapter [2104] : L Js E-Smokes, Electronic Cigarettes
Haven't shopped there, but it may do the trick for you.
I'd expect other vendors will start carrying them as well, in time.

Thanks! Will add to the length, but that's ok. Other than the threads, the svd has been a good device. I don't use it as much now that i am into the mech's, but it'll always have a place in my heart.
About 8 weeks , button locked up, Slowtech made good on it, liked it while it lasted but never bought another one
I've had my SVD for about six months and it works just as well as when it was new, that is to say perfect I've dropped it (though not too badly or often) and spilt beer on it (way too many times) but it shows no signs of giving up on me.
You should always have a spare device though.
