At the first of January of this year i ordered myself a Torpedo VVV from Totally Wicked. I understand that the Torpedo/lavatube are all the same thing, just rebranded. After re-soldering the ground wire (still worked without the solder) and super gluing the top back on i felt the need to post this. THIS THINGS TOUGH!! I have had no problems with this device whatsoever. I dont know how many times ive dropped this out of my lap while getting out of my car and it SLAMS on the concrete. It still works every time. I dropped it the other day right on the cartomizer and the whole top seperated and guess what, it was still working just fine lol. Anyways, if your on the fence deciding whether or not to get one, and the issue of durability crosses your mind, dont let it deter you. The lavatube is friggin tough, and awesome. Notice the broken battery cover on the bottom, superglue at the top, and all around beat up tube.
