Yeah...I love my Hades/cerberus in hybrid. probably too bulky. But I second a hybrid option.

What is a durable setup that will not break in a pocket during a hard labor job?

have you tried an ego lanyard? since using one, i have probbably stopped 99% of the accidents i used to have with dropping my egos, bending them in my pockets and what not
REO grand or mini. You're welcome. If he rebuilds get him the LowProfile version. The SuperLights are nice too.
Seems like a lot of money until you still have the same exact mod years later. Instead of buying multiple setups through the same amount of time.

Seriously, a SL LP REO grand with LP Rm2 will be the last mod he ever needs....Just batteries and a decent charger.
You're looking at about $240 between all 4 items but, you won't be spending money on anything but, liquid for years. Maybe more batteries after a year.

Reo for sure if he wants a dripper and mech mod. Egrip and rba base or billet box if he wants a tank and vv or vw.

No leaks = no wet spots
BIG win here. This set up was designed for on the job vaping.
I guess it took a while for the REO crowd to get rolling in this thread, but let me just add...
I am a Hardscape Construction Professional. I build structures and surfaces of manufactured and natural stone. It is very labor-intensive and just about the most rugged working conditions. My all-day, everyday carry is a REO Grand. It's mechanical, so no circuit to fail. It is a bottomfeeder, so the 6ml bottle is onboard, and the "Reonaut" (owner of said REO) "squonks" the liquid up through the feed tube into the atomizer. There are several bottomfeed-ready atomizers to choose from that are modified or manufactured from existing rebuildable drippers.
This is the only choice for your husband's needs for a rugged dripper, and it's not even, technically a dripper lol. It's better!
There is a video, somewhere, of a guy running over a REO Grand with his truck and picking it up and vaping.
The other option is to buy something inferior. Your call...

I've thought about a Reo but not too interested in mechanical mods due to things like battery safety and being at the mercy of your battery. Can a mechanical be charged on the fly or do you have to change batteries? Does a Reo tell you your battery life even or do you just have to know your battery? That's why I think for most people, a regulated mod is a better choice.
My MVP 2.0 has been a great device and plenty durable enough for my job which is landscaping. I'm constantly sitting on it, constantly dropping it on cement and asphalt, forgetting its in my lap when I arrive at my next stop and the thing just keeps on coming back for more. Paired with my stainless steel Nautilus, the setup is a tank.
Tomorrow, I'm getting into an IPV 2S and after doing extensive research of mods in my price range, this seems to be the best device to have. If only I could afford an SX Mini.
One reason I'm really sold on it is because even though it has circuitry, it's waterproof as is the IPV 3. I would buy that instead of only I could throw it in my truck and charge it a bit if needed.

Easy. When in a harsh environment I take my Billet box mod. Tanks inside. All metal casing. It might not do everything fancy. But it works basically no matter what. I dropped one of mine off my sportbike. Turned around picked it up and vaped it.

That's the only thing I see with a lot of the suggestions....screw on tank.
Any of the in mod tank set-ups will work well in a pocket....then it come to size
Just IMO

A REO mod itself would be pretty much indestructible and take care of his desire to drip (it's just dripping from the bottom instead of the top). The weak point in it, and many of these, would be the 510 connection if you hit it just right, so I think you would want a pretty stubby, heavy duty atomizer on top.
Being naturally clumsy and add drunk, I have dropped my lp Reo Grand multiple times. Once, while running to catch a bus, the Reo fell out of my shirt pocket, hit so hard the cap of my atty went one way and the Reo went another way. Rather miss the bus than lose a Reo. Not a pretty sight, the picture of me running or, the look of the atty and cap. Stainless steel battle scars but the Reo survived without a scratch. The driver waited as I collect the parts and even took a hit before getting on the bus.
I have since added the belt holster from Serenity Gear.

Billet box is super light and is about the size of a pack of kings. Fits in the front pocket of my lady jeans.

Clones are out there. If price and accessibility over rule authenticity. Or if you don't mind a scuffed one I can sell you one of mine. (Like it so much for sports and work I own two).

A single 18650 is plenty of battery to get you through a entire day. There's a collapsible hot spring that fails should it short. I have yet to collapse a spring though. And the lack of circuitry is what makes it so reliable. And you have 6ml on board.
You can fix everything yourself pretty much. All the parts are available to do so. Look I can't stand blind fanboys/girls but, there's a reason REO people are crazy about REOs. They really are just that reliable and good.
Disassemble and clean monthly and keep noalux on your battery contacts.
The nice thing about the microstick and VTR is that the atomizer is mechanically protected. In almost anything else, the weak link is the connection to the atomizer, because that's where it will break if it gets stressed (i.e, sat on or bent). Something like the microstick prevents this, because the mod itself is wrapped around the head and protects it. If he is interested in the VTR, he REALLY should go to a B+M to hold one and see how it feels. Some love that it's built like a tank, for others it's just unbearably heavy.
You can get by this somewhat with other mods and PV's if you have a wide tank that sits absolutely flush with the top of the mod, but that's not always an easy thing to accomplish; if there's even a little gap the sideways pressure will wreak havoc on the 510 connection.
But many people here seem to be focusing on "How durable is the mod" which isn't the point. "How durable is the mod-head combination" is what's important. And for how he works, I wouldn't particularly recommend a dripper!!!

The weakest links are the connection and any glass anywhere prob wouldn't survive. A lot of good suggestions to pick from; Reo, Egrip, Billet, Microstick and I'm sure there's more that are made by small manufactuers.

I use an eGrip for my out and about here in the sandbox. Thing has survived military rough use just fine.
I broke several mods before I bought a provari. They're pretty tough mods but you have the issue of the tank to put on it. I think the new ones have hybrids?
I sold my provari when I got an REO. Probably the toughest mod I own. The first night I had mine I accidently threw it 45 feet into the middle of the street. I broke the drip tip but replaced it and went right back to Squonking.
I prefer my ranger with a dripper but when I know I'm going to be getting beaten up I take my reo.
