It started get a few knicks after about 3 months, didn’t get really bad till about 6 months, nowadays if I use it, I normally put it down to find blue flakes on my hand, it’s literally falling off now.

:eek: Did they have the same thing on the Hohm Wrecker as well? Actually I’m really surprised nobody’s posted that box yet, it was all the rage with our community...except maybe wingsfan :D

Yeah... I should of known it was a leaverite when I first saw it ;)

Hahaha I liked the hohm wrecker it had the looks only a mother would love though ...the Orange was particularly hideous ....that’s the colour I would have gone for had I been able to snag it over here ...kinda reminds me of that TV show Z nation....it’s so bad it’s good

I give you 10 imaginary points for mod choice, and another 10 for using a wire spool instead of paper for your name :D

I used to have 2 (istick 100wtc) - doors and batteries flying everywhere after a drop, might need a bang/bend on the counter now and then, paint was, well, yeah, like that lol

I’m surprised that no one has posted anything “old” yet.
My old vaporshark dna30 with original kayfun light with nano kit.
I still use it often as a beater or when I’m sick.
I didn’t put the name/paper thingy just thought the thread needed something from back when in the dawn of the dna era

Not much for a beater pic, but I've logged many miles on the LUX. Gonna have to tear it down and give it a good internal cleaning sometime soon - the batteries don't always make a proper connection any longer, and there's juice under the display screen.

the wrecker was/is bulletproof. mine still looks almost new, minus a bit of atty rash, and it saw a lot of use when it was in its prime. now its just my coil pulsing/ohm reader/build station mod.

doors and batteries flying everywhere after a drop

So here is an approximately 4 year old RX200S that has bounced off the cement and asphalt since day 1 and still firing~! I Wire wheeled the paint off it and polished the battery cover. Actually looks better in the pictures???

Do I need to open it up and show the places I glued the battery sled back together a a few times?

That is definitely the spirit of a beater.

Yeah all those assholes who wanted to tell me about inferior wiring and all the other shit they had to say must like crow. They are still eating it~! Bad 510 huh? Using a Nautilus Mini meant removing the tank to fill it 6-10 times a day. I guess I know how to start threads?

Here is one of the repairs to the battery sled. Cy no-Acrelate is a wonderful thing

View attachment 120550

When that piece popped out it was lucky I saw it fly out. If not would have been some Epozy or JB Weld.

:cheers: I remember once I was sticking a magnet back in the plastic housing, because the glue geekvape used on the mech pro was crap for the strength of the strip magnets they went with...superglue did the trick, although as I was sticking it in place my finger slipped and the damn thing flew out of the plastic frame and stuck to the outer metal casing...the whole area was a mess

I used a few choice expletives ...:cuss2:

Nail Polish or Acetone works to remove Crazy Glue~! I had the magnets fly out a bunch of times. One time after looking all over and I finally gave up I found it sticking to my belt buckle~! Next time put the glue in the hole first.

Finder dna250 by thinkvape... forgot exact purchased date... I sold all my crappy mods aka non dna mods on here, so umm this is my ugliest mod in rotation... still works great, I just got to make sure I hold the battery door LOL!

Software issues is NONE...
Hardware issues are the magnets on the battery door came off, the battery door cover peeled off and the battery tray is wonky, I have to make sure I use yellow batteries on there if you all know what I mean...

Check it out....

Careful of using nail polish remover with acetate in it though it’ll likely take the paint off

This mod is 2 years old, used everyday, and still ticking like a Timex watch.

Therion bf. Paint is failing for sure. Just got it but the mod is a beater for sure. Not to many regulated devices but may have other entries when I get off work.

I still have my 50W from over 3 years ago that still works great. Not a beater mod though - it's still it great shape!

So are they just made of some black box material they use in planes or something?

The earlier innokin coolfires 4s were solid as well my wife loved that mod, it was the only mod she used every day for nearly 2 years ....though she had to stop cause it’s not picking up the resistance steadily...it bounces up massivly mid fire at whatever the set wattage is..... Satan then takes over the lung hit from there :giggle:

Self proclaimed a fanboy here; nothing performs as well as that board does.
Thrilled to death that it’s still getting used!

And to think, I asked you to keep it because all I wanted were the mechs and your deal was too good - now I've sold most of the mechs and love this mod

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.
