Had my first drop and roll today

Bound to happen eventually. Was on my way into the movies with my daughter. Had my Provari in my Vapesox and was holding it by the carabiner. For some reason my finger decided to release it and down on to the concrete sidewalk it went. Drip tip broke off at the top of the KFL and left a nice little spot of road rash on the top of the KFL. Luckily it wasn't a glass tank or I am sure the results would have been worse.

The same thing happened to my brass nemesis...sadly I wasn't lucky enough to leave with just a scratch. it hit so hard on one of the sides of the button it pressed it in and stripped the threading.

Not the best day ever that's for sure.

As long as no major damage was done!

I once had my SVD with a PT2 slip out of my jacket pocket and it hit pavement drip tip first.

Not a scratch on the thing belive it or not.

I would have sworn a PT would have shattered but it didn't!

If it was tomorrow I would have more than likely had my brand new IBTanked on there. Guess that would have been one way to tell how strong that glass really is.

My svd has had a couple nasty drops at work, still ok though. Worst damage is fire button housing tilted a bit.

Drunkenly dropped my vamo & pulse hard enough the other night that it bent the battery tubes, I was able to press them back together. Didn't even crack the glass.

I've dropped my cana a few times. Still alright. They're tough. So are their 510s. They're like welded in
