My mom had corian countertops in her last house. Ugly (mainly because of her pattern choice) but durable.

Corian is durable. I received reports from other rental property owners that it was still slightly less durable en total than laminate. Anecdotal info, but it’s all I have to work with. Landlords have a fairly simple metric for this: how often does it need to be repaired or replaced and how much does that behavior cost? The claims said repair/replace was as often to slightly more often, and the costs were usually much higher. There were some exceptions. Melt marks could be occasionally buffed out or melted back flat. It worked with only very very minor damage though. That specifically did not apply, generally to hot pan damage. Placing a hot pan on corian frequently either gouges it it the pan is moving, or if simply placed badly melts it over a large area creating major hills and valleys because pans generally slump to one side or the other. Color generally isn’t affected though.
To a hot pan, corian is basically wet sand.

Once laminate is cut, burnt, chipped, it's time for new laminate.
Corian color goes throughout the sheet, easy to repair, can be worked with most woodworking tools.
It fell out of favor when Granite became popular, cost wise close to granite now.
The latest trend is Quartz, less maintenance than granite.

Hmmm... statements about laminate are definitely the case. The impression I received when I researched it in the mod 2000’s was that corian repair is easier, but only if the damage is so minor that laminate would have resisted it completely. In the cases where the damage is severe enough to have damaged both surfaces repair of corian was often not possible, and in the cases when it was the cost was higher than total replacement of laminate.

This likely assumed hiring a professional in each instance. Also the data is a bit out of date
Travertine is better. Any ways problems solved sortof I got a new glass actually I got a whole nother crown3 but the damn drip tip was purple and my wife saw it. So I put a higher ohm coil got her some fruity low nic juice and put it on my old drag so I thought I was getting a back up but life loves throwing curve balls right hahaha. It's ok I should get "special attention" later. She knows how I am about my vapes
10 bucks for a crown 3 In the box only thing was the coils got used. The person who originally bought it brought it back claiming it leaked me and the vape shop dude both instantly noticed the lack of the bottom o ring on the used coil. Slid in a .5 ohm let it soak cranckex it to 50 watts took a power hit all was good handed it to the ole lady and told her about 20 times please please don't loose it
Haha she just text me its saying 380 degrees F. Lol took me 2 days to figure that out the first time.
Reminds me, when the tpd, tppr day came in the UK. Vape shops sold off all the tanks larger than 2mls at giveaway prices as they weren't sure how hard the rules would be enforced.
A pack of four crown coils came in about £10 in the UK but one vape shop was selling the crown v1 (still a fantastic tank) at £2.50 for the whole tank, spare glass and three coils. I also had a 20% discount so I bought twenty tanks, giving me 60 coils for a grand total of £40 delivered. Would have cost me £250 for the coils alone, lol. Crazy times. Couldn't give juice away.
I'm a clumsy bugger and squonking does offer some sturdy options but I've always used the metal or cage tanks on my rta's or stock tanks as I know I will break the glass ones. You soon get used to tasting when your wick or coil starts to dry.
I find I agree with you. I thought squonking would just be a runaway win, but it’s not.
I’ve got a lostvape drone and an aromamizer plus. I find I actually prefer the aromamizer on an aegis legend to the drone. Barely. The vape quality of the drone is ever so slightly better, mostly due to the mesh coil, but it’s more trouble to fill than the aromamizer, I can’t carry a spare deck around with me, and it doesn’t hold as much. It’s somewhat lighter, less awkwardly shaped and a good deal less phallic than the legend/aromamizer, but all told it’s still about the same total size and a good bit less convenient.
I WAS using that magma on that drone... it worked ok.. it’s got the profile on it now. The magma I was going to put on the VTX200 squonker if I can ever get around to remanufacturing those buttons and putting the thing back together.
Maybe the squonkified big block 454 if I get to it first. The only other squonker I got is a therion and it’s got my berserker RDA and a churchwarden tip on it. I think it’s kinda fun that way.
Well I am sure it worked, much like a Cadillac will work riding on only rims. Between the bedpan coil, or whatever that monstrosity you were experimenting with was, how on earth are you going to decide on what material to use on the buttons?
I have to admit, you lead an interesting vape life.
I didn't realize what tank you had with the broken glass. Since you now have a few of them in your house, you might consider pre-emptively buying some of these $4.32 Replacement Glass Tank for Uwell Crown 3 Tank Clearomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping just to have some spares in case this happens again.
Ordered. my buddy at the vape shop brought me a bunch of "returned tanks, mods" I got a lot to play with. Some work some dont. Some needed soldering some are total loses
