Mod/Tank care obviously varies from individual to individual.
My SXM still looks like new and operates as expected.
None of my China tanks from the Kanger T3's to my current Orchid tanks work any differently than the day I received and started using them. actually with practice and education many have gotten much better at performance. hmmm.....
Even the Lowly eVic, hated by many Provari owners, is still working great after over 2 years. They are even v1 versions.
My RTA's have no stripped screws and the 510's still connect fine. Same for RDA's.
Some peoples extreme expectations just don't make sense to me
Often it seems to be brought on by:
It Broke!
It's Junk!
It's all
their fault!
Denial of personal responsibility
But not Always
YMMV
