PV abuse

[richardf]

There may be other threads on this topic, but I did a quick search and did not find one. I thought it would be funny for people to share their stories on how they broke/abused their PV.

Coming home from work the other day vaping on my bike, a car stopped abruptly in front of me. I dropped my PV between my leggs to hit the brakes / clutch, but the PV bounced off my shovelhead, and hit the street. I jumped off the bike and ran back to pick up the pieces before it got ran over. Put it all back together when I got home, still worked!!

I work / play hard, and have broke many pv's in the last couple years. I have broke them while using a chainsaw, dropped them from ladders, and smashed them in my pocket. I have not lost one in the lake yet, had a couple close calls though. I do have a blackberry cell phone at the bottom of Brookeville lake. Direct line to Spongebob!!

Ayone have a funny story of how they abused their PV?

I flushed my GLV2 mini down the commode.

Don't ask. But I got it back. Cleaned it. And it works fine.

I threw my PV against a wall. Put it back together and it worked fine and no scratches.

Okay, well I guess you could say that my Go Go got a slight amount of abuse once, although I tried everything in my power to spare it
I was walking through the parking lot one night on my way to watch wit my Go Go in my Shirt Pocket, my Provari in my Right thigh cargo pocket and my Ego-T battery with XXL Clearo in my Shirt Pocket with my Go Go. I tripped over a new separation curb that they had placed between the isles of the parking lot and proceeded to fall face first to the asphalt although in that split second I managed to have the presence of mind to force myself to land on my left side mostly as well as my face and knees in order to spare the PV's the impact of hitting te ground, well the Go Go managed to escape the pocket and flew across the parking lot unscathed, and I also managed to save my 24 oz travel mug of coffee and never spilled a drop

Leave it to a Sailor to sacrifice the body in order to save the Coffee and PV huh?

I have had an ego come out of my shirt pocket into a roll of winding plastic film at work. Had to cut the roll down to find it. Atty was gone but the battery still worked.

Dropped my reo grand from 25ft off of the side of a silo. It hit the concrete and only had a little flat spot on the corner and scratch on the door.

Washed a volt battery. No longer working.

Close to a year ago, I had a new design for a juice box. Worked in it late on night to finish it up, couldn't wait to show it to my fellow co-workers who vape. Walking into my office building, I stopped at the door with my hands full (new PV between two finger) to swipe my access card. A co-worker comes busting through the door and wacked the PV right out of my hand, it went flying in the air and hit the concrete hard, busting into pieces. Picking up the pieces, I found the tabs for the cover were busted off. Holding the pieces in my hand, thinking, I didn't even get a chance to use it....doh. Used it for a couple months anyway with tape holding the cover on...LOL. Never used that style cheap plastic box again!!

Rough stack was smashed between me and a 1200 lb steer and then later fell off my tailgate on a dirt road somewhere between 30 and 40 mph. Dropped the same rough stack from a 3rd story balcony later that evening. Other than a gouge and a couple of scratches I've since buffed out, it worked fine afterwards.

I dropped my copper from a 300 ft platform on a 450 ft comm tower a couple of weeks back. I never found it but plan to look around again next week when I have to go up there again.

I shot an already dead box mod with my 220 swift in July. I really wish I could have access to a high speed camera next time I use broken mods for target practice. I only found a few shards of plastic and a chunk of epoxy. That 48 grain boat tail hollow point at 3800 feet per second did a real number on it.

I set a pallet of stove pellets on an eGo-t in the back of my truck in March. The battery was dented and the atty was flat. - I smashed a Riva flat with the same forklift the next day (I guess it fell out of my pocket).

Sit on them -drop them - get them wet - lose them - even burned one once losing it out of my pocket in to a campfire.... I break/damage/destroy these things all the time.

Remind me to never ever ask you to babysit......

I screwed on a very old eGo batt to a USB charger that I got from a friend here on ECF. She sent me it to see if I wanted to upgrade to an eGo and of course I did. WELL... the battery came apart at the threading. I mean the BUTTON went missing. It was hilarious and very frustrating at the same time.

Oh and when I had my 510s... I dropped them in coffee, the lake where my cottage is, lemonade, ginger ale, and beer. Thankfully no toilets though I won't ask about the GLV2 Mini, cozzicon

you vape while you bike?
now that's dedication!
maybe some brillant modder can make a PV i can vape while scuba diving ;-)

 

[jbvap]

Thats a nice LM you got there in your avvy. Huge bass fisherman here.

 

[morgan69]

Im very careful with my PV,so got no stories to share.Just got to say that some off you people have some really bad luck when it comes to your PV.Nice stories though keep them coming

A quick tragedy here.

My first PV, a KR808D-1 kit, I screw on my first carto to my manual battery and take my first vape and am blown completely away. I slip it into my shirt pocket from which it promptly falls through a hole and bounces off the floor, repeatedly like it's made of rubber. Well I picked that baby right up pressed the button and nada. So I get this brilliant idea if I drop it so it lands on the other end from which it first landed on perhaps that'll fix it. Well let me tell you, I got lucky and it worked again, sort of. Of course this sad tale led me to research finding a cheaper backup replacement and that's when I found the ECF and all my fellow PV mod addicts. If it hadn't been for dropping my very first PV after my very first vape I may have remained perfectly happy with that KR808 kit and saved myself tons of money. But, you know what I'm so much happier with my GLV, Precise, Provari, GGTS and REO Mini than I ever was with my sadly neglected KR808. Curses upon you ECF and the fine bunch of enablers you've introduced me too as well! Keep it up.

Gravity is the arch nemesis of shirt pockets. That's all I can say.

 

[Iffy]

I've had two diff incidents where my eGo fell from my shirt pocket into salt water at our local boat ramp. Wipe off, dry and clean with no consequences.

I went fishing in the Columbia with my PV in my back pocket this summer. I had a few beers, propomptly lost my footing on the rocks I'd waded out too and completely submurged myself and the 510mega. There were witnesses, they thought it was pretty darn funny and my PV still worked fine.

Someone some day has got to take us outdoorsy types into consideration and take pity on us by creating a mod that can be completely sealed for transportation and dunks into bodies of water but can open up for use, and maybe if it was a fluorescent color we could also see it riding the currents as that monster bass slurps it up to take its first vape. Now every mod I look at has to be able to go through my checklist;

1) Does it have the potential survive up to a 800' fall into the Rio Grande Gorge?
2) Will it begin to work again with minimal fiddling about?
3) Can I fix any potential problems with what's in my pockets when I'm a 100 miles from nowhere?
4) Does the maker have a no questions asked guarantee? This is perhaps the most important as it's really embarrassing explaining certain situtations.

I've dropped a brand-new Hybrid Atty in the toilet while I was "taking care of business," blowing out the atty in my free time sitting there, and let me tell ya - there's nothing that can get that taste out. I also dropped a Riva with a freshly filled Carto in the toilet in much the same manner, though this time the water was more yellow.

I used the same Riva for a guitar slide, which did a number on the finish (Personality, I say!). Then the myriad of drops to the concrete all my PVs go through as some kind of rite of passage.
