Lol... I’m probably going to get the paranormal. I can’t bring myself to drop the money on the handful of dna 250c bf devices. I like amsodus as well, have a few minikins, but alas... I live in evolvs back yard.


Dude Asmodus is as shit as any other overpriced, Chinese made stuff. Just sayin. I got a Luna, it looked Beautiful but it was typical shitty hardware. The battery bay had burrs on it so bad it wouldnt even read a battery until I ground it down. My Voluna RTA is okay, now that I changed out o-rings.

They both cornered the market on pretty mods made at cheap levels of quality.

Edit: Got to explain...Asmodus paint is killer, the innards are not. I bought the EOS II only because it had the same black paint style as the Luna, which I expect will survive anything short of a nuclear apocalypse

Limited Asmodus Edition Gunmetal OG Laisimo Snowwolf... been dropped, stepped on, kicked, ran over with a Ford Focus (literally), and still works. Glass is broken but held together with packaging tape. My wife uses it in rotation to keep it working as a backup lol. I can't seem to kill it. Original purchase date: October 2015...

My Hohm Slice in red started peeling real fast even though I am very careful with my mods. Horrible paint.

My "Tiffany Blue" Holm Slice is just as bad.
I was peeling paint off with my fingernail after about 2 months.

I have a silver one that looks halfway decent.
Since they are silver underneath so I guess that could be why.

Why couldn't they have used the same material/paint setup as the Wrecker G2?:facepalm:

There’s me thinking you’d be rocking a 3 battery monster doing tricks with vape rings
:bingo:

I’ve never been able to do any sort of vaping tricks, look like I’m having a fit or something trying to produce a vape ring :giggle:

On a budget at the time I replaced it with a Movkin Innokin Disguiser 150. Battery door broke, replaced that with a Wisemec Gen3. Battery door broke again, replaced that with a H Priv2. Screen went out on it, replaced that with my current Sigelei Fuchai 213. All in a 6 month time frame.

No wonder why the wifey wants me to quit vapin lol

Shit run I guess for my mods. I just get butterfingers and the mod slips. But of all the drops and spills, I have never broke a tank or the glass on one lol

Fingers crossed with the fuchai, never know you could be lucky and have a revenger back up soon ...with your luck though that’ll only keep you going for another 2 months :sad:

Just think though for the cash you spent on that lot you could have got a hex or something with a lifetime warranty ;)

I almost bought a Paranormal 250C, got an Asmodus EOS II instead....it looks nicer, lighter, but damn....at least the EOS can get e-liquid on it and not Literally Smell Bad
Was looking at the EOS yesterday. How's it feel in hand? Have a birthday coming up and have given up hope that LV hasn't abandoned their Therion lovers.

I'm on my 2nd 213. I didn't open the Fuchais. I heard more bad things about those and really good things on the 213 alone.
First one was a burnt orange which I had a custom Fad Daddy tip made for my Clieto by Leadpipe58. Mod lasted me over 2 yrs. I loved it so much I wanted Mr. Fix It to do it. I Let Gadget take a look at it. Just be careful about replacing your batteries. The Spring Loaded Pin up top (Negative) is made of plastic. But using plastic on a part that is constantly used? Gadget glued the heck out of it and it lasted another 8 months or so.

I called Sigelei. With the help of Gadget's photo. Sigelei made things right with no issue.

I really enjoy mine and Please USE the condom, Mr. "♪♪ Ooops. I did it again... ♫♪♫♪♫♪ Babai, Babai, Babai, Babai..."

Thanks @jwill for bringing this thread to my attention. If I would have came here sooner I could have entered my Alien. Unfortunately, it has died recently. For curiosity purposes-
0928181025-1.jpg
0928181025a-1.jpg

My official entry will be my Pico. This is my first real mod I got. I told the story here before how my Pico has been through a lot. It's been through a snow storm, been rained on, dropped dozens of times, and is still kicking.

A couple of years ago I was Christmas shopping. I wanted to stop at a vape shop before we left town. My mother was driving and I was in the back seat. There was no parking so I exited the car and my Pico fell out of my pocket unknowingly. As soon as I got home (An hour away) I realized it must have fell out of my pocket in the middle of a busy street. So I called the shop to have them look out there. It was snowing bad (MN) so I knew it was a long shot. It must have been driven over several times I thought. The shop guy was nice and went looking but couldn't find it in the dark and took my number. It wasn't until the next day, a good samaritan turned it in. Whoever found it said it was in the street getting ran over. My Griffin RTA on it was crushed but my tough little Pico held its form. The shop called me and I picked it up a few days later. I dried it out and hoped for the best. It turned on right away. My Pico is a fighter, a survivor.

This fire button doesn't lie. Its been pressed hundreds of thousands of times (Probably lol).

That is a great story and a great beater. When I lived in the city I would ride my bike everywhere. Not a day would go by that I didnt find something in the road. Purses, wallets, cell phones, vape stuff. I even found a painting one time. I never could bring myself to use the vape stuff.

Of all the clearance mods available when I bought my 213 was the solid metal body as compared to the plasric body alternatives. However it pains me when the outer body covers up cheap plastic parts and poor internal design.

I've done bought all my gear in brick and mortar stores but the next set of mods I buy may be online. Bein as my selection was limited, if I buy online what brands do you recommend with lifetime warranties?

At some point in the future I will be buying parts and building my own mods. Cheaper to build and easy to replace broken parts.

This is my Innokin Proton, which one only has since I started vaping in April, but this thing already has a ton of miles on it. It goes with me everywhere, even when we went down to the lake in NC this summer. I never left home without it until I got a 2nd mod recently. This is my Old Faithful. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I like how scrappy it is cause it still works fine! I would absolutely buy another.

Thanks for sharing pateralus :vino:

It’s a good point if anyone seeing this thread isn’t sure ....the mod doesn’t have to be 2/3 years old, just something used frequently and has stood up to a beating

My submission isn't necessarily a beater mod, but it's been working since around May 6, 2017 or so without missing a beat!

challenge1.jpg

As you can see, the screen is fogged up from having so much juice dumped in it trying to wick my Reload clone, that it was running out the bottom of the battery door. That bottom airflow Aura didn't help any either. :)

challenge2.jpg

challenge3.jpg

I've used this mod 12-16 hours a day most of the time since I got it, and it's never skipped a beat. I believe it'll outlive me...and look good doing it! :)

KBox 40 watt that I got for 5 whole dollars. Was a daily carry to, and from work, for quite a while. Just got so tired of dealing with the battery cover never going on straight. I also have the black one, still, but the 510 keeps coming out. Does still work, lol.

Doesnt that shell look remakebly similar to the double barrel Huck or maybe that’s just me? Wonder if there was some inspiration drawn from it (mirror both sides and you have almost the DB)

Thanks! It's been knocked off the table onto a hardwood floor twice. The batteries went flying of course. Other than that, no damage except a couple of dents in the floor. :)

I was saying earlier I was surprised people haven’t jumped in showing the wrecker ...we had a 5k strong post on that box!
