I posted this on another thread in response to a statement made about the provari's toughness but it made me think how many other people have had this happen yet ? I was working on finishing my basement and at a stressful moment reached for my provari in my pocket and as I was pulling it out I fumbled it, tipped it ,and it went flying up in the air and SMACKED onto the concrete floor . I was sure it was broke but after picking it up and inspecting it their were no scratches and it fired right up on the the first pull . Has anyone else had this happen yet ? And did you suffer any damage ?

I have dropped mine onto concrete floor from about 2.5 feet and broke the connector on my atomizer... The ProVari was FINE!! Not a scratch.

Then thing somehow rolled off my desk onto floor from about same height...onto concrete. Not a scratch and the way it fell it didn't even wreck the atomizer.

These things are built Tonka Tough :D

My heart stopped both times too thinking oh no, here we go! No problems.

Dropped both my ProVari and ProVape onto tile floor off my bar. Both weathered the fall fine can't say the same about my Cisco LR 306 and nHaler colored and twisted DT. Oh well they are cheap and I would rather replace them then the mods. BTW I hope you are working on a man cave for that finished basement. I know the 20K I spent over the last few months has been worth every penny. Wife and two girls upstairs me and dog in cave. Life is good!!!!!!!

Well it was going to be strictly my space for big screen / air hockey / huge couch but then I went and had a little girl a year ago so now I'm gonna have to share with her at least part time . We are running out of places to put all these toys plus everybody keeps unloading more on us . So when you dropped the provari it destroyed your 306 , that sucks but it's better than the electronics inside the provari ! my next worry is dropping the pro in the bath or worse the toilet ! I've done that with my iPhone .

Well I can certainly say that the Provari is built to LAST. The thing has dropped a total of four times so far. Each time I envision a dreary future of picking up a pack of analogs as I have no backup whatsoever if that happens. And if I spend another dollar on this stuff my wife is going to beat me as we have two newborns twins. Needless to say its been fine once I pick it back up following a short but sharp heart attack.
