You ever broken your PV? or tank etc?

[Scootaloo]

Well I guess today I have to say R.I.P Aerotank

I came home today and my Kanger Aero tank had fallen on (not off) my desk and had smashed. It’s rather odd, because I know it’s glass but I’ve dropped that thing loads of times and not broken it and it drops a few feet and breaks.

I’ve got my self a temporary PV, which is a sort of generic 510: it’s ok for what it is, lacks vapour and throat hit but sometimes I can get some throat hit from it and it’s something to keep me going so I’m not knocking it.

The temp is so light weight, I’m used to the heavier more bad ... devices. But it looks nice, it’s chrome which is how I like it: I even post this on Google chrome

Anyway that’s todays sad story

Have you ever broken a PV before?

I've burned out coils in tanks, broke the positive pin in my MVP, striped threads in a mech. So Yes. All the problems were fixable though. Never totally trashed anything yet.

I've never broken an APV in two years of vaping but I have broken a glass carto tank. Borosilicate glass used in IBTanked carto tanks is very similar to Pyrex. I dropped the Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescopic with IBTanked on top to a travertine floor. The heavy stainless steel Sigelei suffered only a tiny nick but the glass tube in the tank was totaled. I just ordered a replacement tube for about $5.

Glass can be very unpredictable. Sometimes it will survive surprisingly violent impacts and other time it will shatter with a seemingly light bump. Glass is glass.

Sorry about your (tank)

I haven't broken anything yet but I did misplace my vv3. Left it in the snack cupboard, when filling up on crap

Hmm lets see.

After bragging about how tough pyrex is, I broke 3 pyrex tanks in the following week. Two fell over on my PV and hit the glass desk and cracked. The last one was a replacement glass I put on and while screwing on the bottom of the tank, it broke.

Had 2 iTaste SVDs break on me.

The first one simply stopped responding to the fire button. Couldn't turn it on, off, or fire it.

The second was my wife's which tipped over on our desk at home. Simply tipping over on the desk was enough to crush the fire button in and it would not stop firing. That one I did manage to get opened enough to somewhat repair the fire button, but the '+' button has now stopped working so we cannot adjust the wattage or voltage anymore.

Other than those two I haven't had a single item break or stop working. (Other than coils)

I have a "ton" of vaping hardware and the only thing to ever "break" was one Joye Ego C 1000mah usb passthrough. I dropped it about two feet onto a vinyl floor and after that it wouldn't go into unregulated mode. It still works in regulated (white LED) but not unregulated (orange LED.) To tell the truth, I seldom used unregulated mode so that could have stopped working before I dropped it and just never knew it until after.

I have broken tanks, glass drip tips, stripped a few threads and fried a Kick...defecation occurs. Always having a backup set up (or 2 or 10) keeps me vaping in happiness however...

 

[Firestorm]

I've broken a quartz tank and I've ruined two plastic Kayfun nano tanks with tank cracking juices. I've never broken a mod.

 

[djsvapour]

My EVIC broke itself.

That was a happy day.

 

[FlyD]

So far I broke 1 quartz window for my GP SnP, that's it...

Not sure where you're getting your Kayfun Nano tanks but they are supposed to be polypropylene which generally isn't affected by "tank cracking" juices.

There are two kind of vapers.....ones that have broken their tanks and those who will. heehee I learned the lesson of having LOTS of backups early on. My condolences to your tank.

I have a "habit" of putting my PV under my pillow when I go to sleep. Woke up one morning with it underneath me and the drip tip snapped off. No juice leaked out and there was no harm to the tank or battery. So far, so good.

 

[AntnyMikal]

Normally I don't break or lose things. But I dropped my KFL with the clear mtank first day I had it out of my lap getting out the car and it shattered. Haven't dropped anything since.

I haven't broken my PV (my PV's not A, unfortunately ), which is to say, I haven't been vaping long enough to break it.

But just a couple of hours ago, my USB charger came apart in my hand. I reassembled it, holding it together for a moment to test it in order to make sure I hadn't broken a circuit connection on the PCB (I didn't), then I wrapped tape around it to limp it along until the two new ones I just ordered arrive.

I should have long since ordered a backup for that kind of thing, but I guess I figured that with a soldering gun, a box full of tools I use for fixing PCs and small electronics, and a knack for being able to fix almost anything I've ever encountered that I could avoid any OhMyGoodnessICan'tChargeMyBatteriesAnyMore sort of emergencies.


(P.S. - In life, you only really need two tools in your toolbox: WD40 and duct tape. If it moves but shouldn't, duct tape. If it doesn't move but should, WD40.)

Melted some plastic tanks with tank cracking ejuice in the beginning but nothing since...Buzz Pros and MVP 2s are kinda' tuff...so are Kayfuns in steel mode and my drippers.....why I use 'em...I could break almost anything given half a chance..

Mine commit suicide on a regular basis. 2 jumped out of my hand onto the hard concrete driveway...I tried to talk them down, but they wouldn't listen. Another dived into a hot cup of coffee. Then there was the one that was helping me put Christmas lights up on the roof...that episode is still just too disturbing to talk about.

 

[ahall]

I've broke an original MVP, a vamo v5, and my evic. I also had an old ce4b or something fall apart on me. I believe that's about it.

Broke a couple of generic bottom coil plastic clearos. The plastic would separate from the metal piece that you screw the base onto. My husband broke the glass on two IBTanked carto tanks, but replacement glass is cheap so no big deal. I have ten of them, so waiting for shipping is no issue when one breaks.
