havent had a mod die on me yet and i've had just about everything.... if something did happen to the mod the supplier or modder fixed it and it worked again.
I had a 510-t that died on me in 48 hours. I got it from a store front I was loud enough to return it.. Even though they made me pay $14 for the atty that I wasn't able to keep.
ANYTHING from vaprlife. There is a reason why they sell repair services on their main page.
In my case it was the vp av turbo.
You can read more about it in the negative supplier review thread

The only other mod that died on me was one from krimsen kustoms. It died right in the middle of my video review.

Ooooo purchased a 7mm mod from ikv on 11/30/11. This is manufactured by rj turnings or something like that. They are in canada & have a contract with ikv.
The mod arrived doa.

I've never had one "die" so to speak. The only one I wouldn't recommend is the VV Saber Touch to people who always have dry hands. Your finger has to be moist to some extent to get the touch sensor to function properly. Other than that one, I've had good luck so far.
I for one attest to that. The mod works great when your hands are moist. But with dry hands, no luck. I got lightheaded sucking on this PV.

I have had a heck of a time with my bauway 510N and would not recommend this to anyone. I got a version 2 that supposedly had all the issues worked out, 2 days the switch failed. I replaced the mosfet( had a couple sitting around) and got another 2 days out of it. I got fed up with it so I though a 3 amp switch on it and that solved that problem. well after a month of use the chrome finish started to turn green and then a copper color, my body eats cheap metal and metallic paint I can only weir stainless or silver jewelry, and I had to put some shrink wrap around it to make t work. That is how it sits now. I use the thing all the time, but only till I finish the 5 or 6 half finished mods on my workbench.
Vaprlife absolutely has the worst product and the worst customer service on top of it.
I have a whole bunch of mods from other suppliers, and there have been issues with product performance. However, these issues were all resolved promptly and courteously (notcigs and provape). S..t happens, especially in a new industry, but one can at least ask to be treated with some respect as a customer.
When I had issues with intermittent contact and rattling right out of the box with a Joker VV, Vaprlife's answer was "your atty is shorting", even though I had stated that the same attys (plural) worked fine on other VV PV's (Big Brother and Buzz). I politely resent the email. The answer "well, you must be doing something else wrong", of course with a lag time of up to a week before I got any answer whatsoever. Some $40 and a month later between restocking fee and postage, Vaprlife has a very bitter customer.
Of course, there will be sheep who will stand up for a bad supplier, regardless of how well one documents the issues. One always gets those who say "mine works fine; there must be something wrong with you".
For me, the Joker was a joke as well as Vaprlife's customer service. Apparently, there are a lot more than just one of me out there. In an industry where word of mouth is the main promotion method, the word on Vaprlife is not good.

I owned a joker for a short time and while mine worked fine I heard of A LOT of people having very bad experiences with the product and the customer service.
Also releasing the first run of jokers then releasing an upgraded vv model a month later is kinda poppy.

Well two mods I would not recommend are the Infinity, and Provari. Both of these have died on me. I did not have any luck with the warranties on either one.
Yup, stay away from Vaporlife. I had two Pearls, one VV and one FV..both lasted a few days !
i agree about the saber touch. i have tried everything to get this to work consistently for me and i finally gave up. now it sits in the drawer collecting dust. if i keep lotion or a bit of water nearby to keep my hands moist i can get a hit out of hit, but i have to keep dipping my fingers in the water (lotion, whatever) every time i want a hit. even then the draw is really light.
That's what I've complained to Sir Lawrence about. He advised me get an AW IMR battery or use the ridge/ line on my thumb for better connection. But I haven't bought the battery yet. So well see then.
