Dropped my mod?

Hi guys new member here and fairly new to vaping, been vaping for about a year and a half. So I have a smok osub plus mod that has a built in 3300 mAh battery that I use when going out. Last week while out to dinner I dropped the mod off a high table onto a tile floor and the mod survived but my drop dead RDA is all scratched up and the drip tip broke to pieces. The mod itself seems fine with only one small paint chip and the screen is perfectly fine. When I got home I put another tank on it and it Vaped like normal. My question is it safe to use? I'm a little paranoid about the built in batteries, do you guys think the mod is safe to use or should I just toss it away?

Thanks for your help guys

I would use it, you have been using it for a week now and no issues. I would think you would of noticed a problem by now.
 
I only used it for 5 min when I got home that night to test if it still fired, I haven't used it since because I'm afraid if I damaged the batteries. Is it possible to hurt the batteries on built in mod when you drop it? I'm thinking about throwing on my pulse RDA and giving it a test.....what do you think?

Thanks

If it was me I would give it a go. See if it works and watch it for any irregularity's I don't use any internal battery mods however I have has one of mine fall off a car hood and the battery's were OK. That is after I got them out from under car and inspected them. Being internal and you said the mod had minimal damage I would think it should be fine. It sounds like your tank took the majority of the hit.

If it acts normal I'd use it. I drop stuff all the time. But if the screen functions, and it reads the Ω correctly, it should be fine.

A lot of my gear has scratches and gets beat up. Doesn't bother me one bit.

I have one with an internal bat. Dropped plenty of times. No worries. Granted mine is made out of metal though

If I stopped using a MOD I dropped I wouldn't be able to use any of mine. Like @Just Frank said if it isn't acting weird or getting unusually hot you should be fine.
 
Ok so since posting this I started using the mod again. I threw on my pulse RDA with a single fused Clapton build at 0.41ohms. The mod is reading it @ 0.40 ohms and it's vaping just fine and the mod isn't getting hot or acting funny. I still haven't charged it from when I dropped it last week and it seems to be holding up just fine.

Thanks for all the help guys.
