I think a PT should last a real long time if you treat it right, even I have taken black electric tape and wound it around the end after super gluing it to, V4L is even looking into making corrections on there I have been through two of them ansd steve is so great with his customer service he sent me two more ASAP. I'm just stating IMHO they should last for a real long time and be built to last in that way, I think you will see some much better ones in 2010 like puresmoker is making along with many other companies upgrading the ones they make also, the last thing companies want is a faulty piece of equiptment on there hands and everyone returning them, it would also like I asked on this post if someone with some techy knowledge could take a broken one apart and let us all know how to fix our broken ones, this would be really cool to see a youtube on fixing you passthrough to keep it working for a long long time (right) I think so anyone agree with me on this, please post and let me know your thought pass through people.
Thanks
