How many times have you dropped your ENI?
What was the worst drop?

I've dropped my eGo's many times. The worst was I actually dropped it onto my foot as I was walking fast. Kicked it like a football! Maybe flew about 10+ yds and it hit the pavement. It went so far and hit so hard I felt for it.  Still worked after that and I still use it. Smiley
They really do try to make these indestructable. I would and wouldn't like to hear some were they ENI actuall breaks!

I could say i have never dropped mine but that would be tempting fate so i'm not going to say it,all i will say is so far i have been very careful with mine,its either in my pocket or on the table.
I am very sure that there will be a day when it drops onto the ground and i hope and pray that on harm will come to it!

I've dropped my SD a few times and it's been ok, but the amount of atty's and end caps I've lost (usually after plenty of alcohol, it has to be said),  well that's another story   Huh

Dropped one once on a road and scratched the paint badly on the battery, so took the rest of the paint off by hand, still works fine.
Another time landed tank side first and split the plastic tank along both sides, atty and battery fine so no great loss.

I have dropped all my pv´s several times.
I use to have it in my shirts pocket and very often when I lean forward it slides out and hit the floor hard.
They are very well built. I must have dropped them like 50 times with no problems at all  Cheesy
I am clumsy and since nothing ever happens I dont take precautions very often  Roll Eyes

It was my Ego C just got it, treated it like a baby and on the 3rd day i think, I got out the car and dropped it. It landed right on its end ans the chrome end was wrecked  Cry   the cone was damaged  Cry and the battery was all scuffed up  Cry

Sad times people but its been discussed in here before, you over think things and you end up doing the wrong thing so when you get your PV use it, love it but treat it like its your life bearing aura and without it your dusty end is imminent, something will happen and it will all end in tears lol

I dropped my Tornado tank with my 6 ml DCT tonight into my porcelain bathtub.  It sounded so loud when it hit and there was about a quarter inch if water in the tub,I thought for sure it was a goner. But it still works perfect! Damn these things are tough! Grin

if they stop working after you have dropped them, that  means that a solder connection has come loose and if you are handy (i'm not) you can re-solder the connection.

Great idea Jeff but let's go with an RF signal instead since bluetooth only has a 30m range. Wink

mine fall out of my pocket while in the car and the configuration of my seat makes it difficult to retrieve them.  once when i was determined, i found 3 of them!    they were Mega-Titans.   Cheesy

droped my nado on the ground with a booster on it. It broke the booster but got a new one for free. Put one through the wash and this is the funny part I have done this twice. once with a cheap 510 bat. and the other was a nado bat. the 510 bat worked afterwards but the nado never did.

I left a run down auto 510 battery in a shirt pocket and washed it and that worked after a good period left to dry out. I have assumed because there was no charge left is the reason whereas one with some charge in it probably wouldn't have.

Have destroyed one completely, was actually funny to watch it bounce down the road in the mirror. Yes I dropped it out of the car as I was driving down the motorway, couldn't tell you if it still worked.

So far nothing horrible. The worst fall was about 4-5' off of my bookshelf onto hardwood floor. Still works without question. Thankfully these are extremely well built!

Happy Vaping! Cool

Eeeew I can't think of a worse place to drop your ecig....I hope the toilet had been flushed before you droped it.
I've had no mishaps with mine apart from dropping it on the carpeted floor a couple of times.
