Ok - What is durable?

[CreepyLady]

I get that you love him and all but he sounds like a giant baby who won't make an adult effort to educate himself, respect your boundaries or take care of his gear. buy him a 10 pack of egos and tell him that if he breaks them it's up to him to order more. If he can figure out architecture, he can figure out how not to break a spinner or at least how to order himself a new one.

Since he doesnt call me a baby when we need home repairs, or when I ask him to shovel snow (or dig my car out of the snow) etc - I am more than happy to help him. He doesnt NEED to understand any of it. As long as he is happily not smoking.

I only aim to share a few laughs and find out about some options I may not have explored.

I volunteered to handle vape supplies - sure if I asked he would order them if I emailed the link, that just really wasnt my point.

I did try him on cigalikes at first, disposable and them my back up - it is not enough umph for him. He owns his company and can vape in his office - so he needs vapor production and battery life.

I hear you on the oomph. I order the 5.4% and it packs a punch. I get about 5 puffs on it and I can't handle anymore and the nic last a while in me. I use around 9mg at home and have to chain to get the nic.

Unfortunately not so good if you tend to chain.

What can I get this man that is durable - yet will not require him to touch my 18650s??? Or do I just start ordering egos in ten packs?

Is that no touch just on your batteries or No replaceable battery mods all together?

Cause here is a mechanical Mod that takes 14500s so he would have his own batteries,
and this guy says "has survived being run over by a car (no small little kia either, it was a 2004 Cadillac CTS.)"

MVP2,,,,,,,,,,maybe 2 of them if he goes through it like I do.

I don't think there's anything better for him at current.

Yeah he has mine. I miss it severely - I think I will order another for me and a few X6s for him to have as backup. I have my SVD, a lavatube, a CVI and soon to add a Reo Grand. So I think thats best.

Batteries all together. I tried a few like the 1.5 Lavatube since its so sturdy - he did not manage to break it - I repo'd due to him being terrifying with batteries. I tried forbidding him from touching them - but yeah that is like stopping a 2 year old.

Put the ego w/the topper in a plastic cigar tube, put it in his pocket and it will not break or leak out.
I bought one - good outdoor rough and weather protection.
They come in dif. sizes, and you can put a mech. in one too.

Swig Varivolt is a *really* cheap and durable VV mod - around 30 bucks. Has a clear lcd display, can be charged with the battery in with a regular ego charger. Get him two just in case lol.

 

[AutumnBrook]

10+ drops on my magnito. Hardly a scratch.

 

[Mountain_Rain96]

Why not get him his own MVP?

(Give him one in black, and tell him that all you have left after that one are the pink ones - Bet the black one lasts forever!).

LOL!

Take him to the local vape shop and have him shell out 150 to 200$ for a good mod he might be a little more responsible when its his money going down the drain.

I know that helps me

superglue his phone to a box mod and he'll be more careful with it perhaps

 

[degnr8]

People have made some good suggestions so far. I think with the given criteria you're looking at the mvp or x6. Just wanted to throw a passthru in there since you said he vapes at work, then the battery life issue becomes less important

 

[Nermal]

Unfortunately, no. I have several. worked until he figured out how to take it off. lol.

Jaysus, Creepy! My cat could figure that out before I got it around his neck. My pet rock would need a couple of minutes.

Innokin VTR. Picked one up off ebay for 87 bucks shipped. Built like a tank. As heavy as one too! Tank is recessed in the box and protected from drops.

There is always the Armageddon option..... take away all of his vape gear until he gets on forums and educates himself on how to respect the gear. Additionally, this will also teach him battery safety thus lengthening his life span....

Get some stickers made up with this ^^ on it and slap 'em on all his stuff...

 

[Texasman2011]

someone needs to invent a military grade unbreakable mod for some of us that have that kind of situation..

Klynn - this is a grown human. He is wonderful and brilliant with many facets of life- but tech savy is an absolute NOT AT ALL. My 70 year old mother understands her twist and all of the moving parts. He just wants to not smoke. He doesn't really have an interest in learning about what he has. He has started stepping his nicotine down. His agenda is to stop vaping as he is comfortable.

If this is the case then stick him with VV eGo type batteries and some basic EVOD tanks until he quits.

 

[4star60]

I think Id get him some Snus.... Ive had the VTR for a few weeks and while it seems to be built like "tank", I havent dropped it yet.

 

[Rat2chat2]

There is a co-op going on for the Innokin vtr right now. It is a beast but reviewers (like Phil Basardo) said he would recommend it to someone that works construction. It is quite heavy but solid built. I got mine during the last co-op and total cost was $63.00. But well worth the money. Good luck.
