There are two separate threads on VU started the last day or two where the whole 510 is popping off of the Alien and I've heard of others

At least one has photos
Looks like in the epic battle of Alien v Predator they both just kill themselves off.

Right here, photos showing all that great plastic on plastic on plastic glory inside. (And really crappy solder points too.)

Smok Alien? Or Wismec's Predator?
Believe the Wismec 510 pops off like Rick posted. The Alien was the entire 510 coming apart inside the mod, read about that at a couple forums.

Hmm, my price range is under $100,what do u recommend for a box mod?
The best 510 you can afford. The new Smoant Charon looks promising.
I use squonkers, but....the two iJoy Lux 26650 mods I have worked flawlessly for months. The battery life is incredible using two 26650 iJoy batteries.
Have a shitload of chinese junk in the stockpile, but haven't used any of the mods yet.

I am holding on to Good vibes about this, Someone will have a fix if we are patient and our Predators will be saved. Personally I love my two Predator Mods they are perfect with my Hands and I love the way they fire with that side Bar. Mean while just be gentle....

Or better yet, spend a few extra bucks and get something fairly decent. 99.0% of the chinese junk is just that, chinese JUNK.Do ur research... always think about the support you get from ur purchase...

Fairly soon with the FDA rules coming into play, one better have a few mods which MIGHT last longer than the warranty, usually 30 days. Best to buy a few mods at a higher price point then be stuck with a pile of scrap-iron in a never short period of time.
Check out the IPV8 I have had the IPV400 since july of last year and it has performed great until a week ago when it started autofiring

Really don't get why some people are practically stupefied that Reos mods is still in business and still selling out mechanical squonkers. "That's too expensive... Ick - it's a mechanical..." Yeah, how's that going in the other direction working out for ya?
You buy something like a Reo and you only have to buy it once. Run it over with a car, drop it from a second floor window - do whatever. Pick it up and just use it again. FDA proof.
I can't recall a DNA200 mod that has been sent back for repairs more than the VT133, at least evolv will repair them but some people have had to return it multiple times. Maybe it has to do with the reverse polarity board hcigar adds, not sure but it seems like the VT133 is one of the least reliable DNA mods.
A DNA mod is not a bad recommendation though. For the price of a DNA mod I would rather have 2 Smoant Battlestars, 1 to use and the other to keep stashed as a back up. I haven't seen any failures with that mod and it is only $40 and works really well.

I've had mine since it came out and it's never been repaired. It is a solid mod.

I have to tell you. I do understand that there are problems out there. I myself haven't had any issues with anything. Maybe because I'm a mechanical person and don't overtighten or cross thread things. I've always said vaping takes a bit of mechanical knowledge and not everyone has that. However people can learn ! This forum is a perfect example. Lots of great people and info here. As far as dropping something........it happens and I would expect something glass and plastic to break. If it don't lucky you ! I also know not everyone has lots of money to spend on mods but lets face it. If you get a year out of something that costs $30 - $50 you did good. Does your vacuum last forever, no it breaks and you have to buy a new one. Your car breaks and need maintenance. No different with vaping gear. Are some mods better than others ? Yes ! That's why for me I always do research on something and try to learn everything about it. Some of you get that I'm sure lol. If your the technical person in your household you get the joy of figuring everything out, setting it up and learning how to use it while the rest of the family takes minimal effort and reaps the fruits of your hard labor LMAO ! It's true right ? Lets face it, the Chinese have never been known for their original designs and great build quality. Unfortunately most of the vaping gear is made there. Sometimes I have to say less is more. I've been using a vape pen 22 by SMOK as my carry around in the pocket mod. It's small, has great flavor, blows clouds and there's nothing to do but turn it off and on, simple and convenient. Works as good as any mod out there ! If it breaks no big deal costs around $24.00. Reminds me of when I used to use the Atlantis tank and the CF Sub Ohm battery. Ah the good old days lol. Enough of my thoughts. Have a good day everyone and hope you all find what works best for you. We all have one big thing in common.........To stay off ciggs and not pay all of those taxes the government reaps on them and live longer and healthier !!
