Hello, Shinys! Forgot to mention how my love for the original Crown tanks is rapidly growing lately...
I have been using the Crown Minis w/ 0.5ohm coils for my Picos Resins, since I stumbled onto them (way too late!) and they've taken quite a beating: I've dropped them numerous times on pavement, cement, & tile floors, and I've even (unintentionally) slam dunked one in a ladies room (forgot it was in my hand, when I flung my hockey blanket over the stall's door
), yet the Picos w/ CMs survive!
I did notice one CM is having issues staying in TC and discovered something inside the 510 pin is broken (slides out easily, probably the slam-dunked one
), yet it works perfectly fine in wattage mode. 
Saturday, I'm out & about running errands and vaping unconsciously, when I get the beginnings of the dreaded dry hit... And it was a fairly new coil, too. 
I fill the tank, throw the mod into my purse, and... 
A few hours later, I'm feeling lucky, so I hit it... And... IT STILL LIVES!!! 
The juice is Awesome Town's (The Sauce L.A.) Candy Cane (6mg), so it's quite clear, but very sweet. I thought for sure my CM's coil was complete toast, yet the full flavor is back!
Last night, I thought I'd shove a Q-Tip down the chimney to remove any gunk that may be there (there was) and I'm still happily vaping... 
HA, I may need a dozen more Crowns...
EDIT: Some time later, scary, internal musings commence... "Gee, my rose gold Crowns are sitting around un-loved, just waiting for the perfectly match-y match-y mod to do them justice... I wonder if there are any rose gold mods out there now that will match them...?!" Internet search is imminent...

Glad to hear that. I was wondering how the resin held up. I’m a habitual dropper, all hardwood floors inside, lots of concrete outside. Eleaf has always taken my abuse. I even ran an istick over with the riding mower, not a problem.Hello, Shinys! Forgot to mention how my love for the original Crown tanks is rapidly growing lately...

@DeloresRose , one of my Pico Resins (the one I have abused the most, because it is my daily driver) is beginning to show dead pixels in the screen. Still read-able, but it's my 1st Pico (and/or Eleaf product, no matter which version) to fail at anything. My only other Eleaf mod that ever failed me was one of my iStick Mini 10w mods (remember those? ). My 20w, 30w, & 50w iSticks all still work (and look) fine.
THAT, is why I (OMG, literally) have one Pico for every mood.

I just gave some of these to a friend for his Birthday yesterday. He keeps bashing the glass on his Crown tank and I'm sick of giving him my (stored) spares.

I ordered these also and I'm keeping them because I like them better

I kinda have a difficult time understanding why people would want to use a mech mod considering how dangerous they can be especially in the hands of the inexperienced.
I get that it must be great not to have electronics controlling things but they give me safety (hopefully).
Please don’t misunderstand but I just can’t imagine putting a metal tube near my face that could explode if I messed something up accidentally. What is it about a mech mod that some people like?
Thanks. Sara

OLED screens have a 10 year shelf life. No screens in a mech mod.
I have a Rig/Roughneck V2, a silver Coppervape BF/Hadaly & a couple of REO mini/RM2s (all mechs) stocked alongside my 6 Provari V2 JIC vapegear isn't available when my OLED screens die.

Do not go nicotine-less into that good night,
We should vape and rave at close of day;
Rage and stockpile mechs against the dying of OLED screen light.

I follow Clive on Twitter. He’s always got a great viewpoint of what’s truly going on.
One thing you already said - no electronics, no adjusting, just vaping. Basically really only the insulator can break, everything else will work as long as you care for it. The experience is also different, a regulated hits very consistent, a mech will change as the battery charge goes down giving a different flavor and vapor profile, some prefer that.
I shave with old equipment and got a few straight razors among my gear, I'm holding a razor blade to my neck on a regular basis just to get the experience I like so I can't blame people for doing it in another setting.
Driving a car is more dangerous than using a mech, just a few degrees of turning the wheel and you're off a bridge or into an oncoming truck...
It's not without risk but I think it is a little exaggerated sometimes. I get why, newbies probably shouldn't start with it and people that do should take safety seriously from the first day, so not treating it as perfectly normal no biggie might not be in order.
But it's not a tube bomb waiting to rip your face off either (well with sane people it isn't).
Users have to regularly disassemble, check and clean everything as well as adhere to safe practices regarding building and batteries, it's not that complicated if you're willing (or able) to do that.
Some find joy in doing that as well, knowing your gear to the last bit and caring for it can add to the satisfaction of using it.

@Mowgli , I just counted (in my head) all of the colors, versions, iterations of the Pico that recall buying over the last couple of years... 16 (including the 2 new honeycomb resins I ordered yesterday)... 16! 
I swear I don't know how that happened, but I could use/toss away a Pico a year (or so) for the rest of my vaping life and probably not run out of my favorite mods.
For those curious, I don't own a single Pico 21700 (yet, only other version I'd consider, but they need to be prettier, damn it, and I only have 18650s!), Dual, or Mega version. :::shrug:::
EDIT: Umm, I forgot about the 4 Squeezes that I also own... 20.

It's only a problem if the number of picos is bigger than your age so you probably can still buy a few.16!
For those that use multiple mods in daily rotation.
Do you have them all charged up and ready to run, or do you put batteries in them when required?
Probably for the safety aspect, batteries should be removed from mods that sit on the shelf for a day or two. But the convenience of grab and go with not having to put a matched pair in a mod is nice. The storage for all those batteries is another thing too.

I use the same 2-3 every day. Ok maybe 4-5 but others I put in the rotation, I add batteries when using
I don’t understand how they work, and it would be unsafe for me to use one. But I get why other people like them. I mean, some people love old cars with none of the modern safety upgrades.
I have internals and 18650 mods. I have this ocd morning ritual of filling my tanks and charging every thing while I coffee up. Just in case I want to use it. When for a time I wasn’t using one, I took the batteries out. I think I have ten of them out on the stand in daily rotation these days.
Usually 4 or 5 mods/tanks always charged and filled, ready to grab & go
The RX200/Velocity RDA has worktable-duty-only status these days
RN 2 tanks need filling and batts will be replaced before heading out to the park
OST I can leave black/black here and deal with it when I get back
IOW I'll fill the Boreas and make like a tree and split
