I HATE gear that leaks!!! So 'porn' only in the sense that the two iJoy Capo mods were probably the worst squonk mods I ever bought. From day one they constantly peed their pants (leaked), and nothing I tried changed that. Soon enough they went in one of the retired gear boxes in a leak proof bag that I wrote "Pee Pee Pants" on with a black Sharpie marker.

Couldn't find a saved picture of both of them, so it looks like only one of them got a photo shoot.

I've tossed lot's of vape gear in the garbage can over the last 10 years. I don't care how much it cost, if it leaks or doesn't work properly it gets tossed. Gives me an excuse to buy something else...

I didn't care how much any of the gear I bought cost either. But even the junk has been kept for the time being as being part of vaping history.

Another thought comes to mind... I haven't opened that box for quite some time, but considering the current affairs in todays world I wonder if all the other gear in that box practices social distancing from them. :?:;)

I guess I've gotten lucky. The only gear I've had that I binned has either been broken due to user error, or, the one pico I bought on a lark cause it was dirt cheap, and I was ordering other stuff, so why not. Why not indeed, as it was a clone, but it did get me back into vaping, so not a bad 4$ as I see it. My first two topsides died, the first was abused beyond belief, dropped several times onto concrete, hard enough to dent the 20700 inside, but kept working. Stored it for several months, and got another month out of it until it developed a 510 short. Had liquid behind the screen since drop number 1 too, but fired reliably until the check atomizer warning out of the blue. The second topside dropped onto a case of coca-cola, punctured one, and got shotgun sprayed into the board vent, so the down button thinks it's being pushed constantly. So the three that are gone are not surprising, and I've had good luck with the rest, even the so called junk ones, like my wismec rx2, which after unsticking the balancing pin, and the fire button adjustment, is still reliable. (Knocks on wood)

Copper runs.. 95 silver make break. Solder is just the negative battery point.

Need to clean it up and apply a finish. Then assemble.

Patinated Reo Mini 1.0 Tumbled Raw Brass with OG Origen Little 16 (O-16) and a Big Bore Syner DT. This special Reo was a gift sent to me from Robert O'Neil (Reosmods) on my birthday, a couple of days after he closed his Reosmods forum here on ECF in mid March 2016.

Another very special Reo from Robert O'Neil, the last one he custom made for me... a one of a kind P67 with a custom Copper Metallic Matte finish that I called him and ordered mid May 2017 and received on 6/5/17.

At the time my four other P67's were sporting 4 of my 6 Psyclone Mods Kryten RDA's, but I just couldn't put a SS atty on it.

They've been sporting Wotofo Profile Mesh RDA's since late 2018.

My seven year old Grands are wearing out, finally. They've been good considering they've rattled inside a dashboard cupholder of a Frieghtliner for 800,000 miles or so.
Who makes ultra-durable plain mech squanders ? I mean accidently drop-kick across the asphalt and not even worry about durable ?
