What Hardware Will Survive Afghanistan?

[gin828]

I work in Saudi Arabia a lot in the oilfields. The sands get into everything no matter what!!! You have to keep your drip tip covered or you'll be spitting sand. I use a SID indoors and an ego when I am out and about working. I was using a protank II mini but switched to a 19mm Ibtanked set up. The cartos last longer than kanger coils. The glass is pretty thick and you dont have to break your connection to fill. Sand destroys everything in time. The 15mm has thinner glass and doesnt hold much. Hope this helps.....

I can't speak to the mods, but OP, if your guy is going to be anywhere outside the wire (and even inside, depending on the base), "my" Marines (anymarine.com) have told me that dust/sand is a big problem. It's everywhere, gets into everything, and it can be as fine as talcum powder. They're always asking for a supply of baggies (ziplock are the best) they use to protect their equipment.

So be sure to throw in a box of Ziplocks in your package!

I would point out on the Reo side of things, you can wash it in a sink. That has got to be a plus in the situation you describe.

You could always send him a Innokin Cool Fire II Mod Starter Kit- Cool Fire 2 IN STOCK NOW

The locals would think he is one hard core dude. "Dang he's smoking a nade! He crazy!"

Saw one of those in my local B&M store yesterday. Cool mod, but not something I'd use in public. Blue lights might start to flash.
