I have a half busted alien now, a RX 200 and an eviction vtc mini V2. The RX is just too big. The vtc is for stealthy family gathering type vaping. I need a new mod for work. I work 24 HR shifts and need a dual 18650 that will last all shift. I have narrowed it down mostly because of budget constraints to these three. Smoant battle star praxis banshee and the yosta livpor. I destroy mods btw. LoL not purposely but I'm a FF and have my own welding business...... Yes I'm still broke 4 kids with twins in a $1500 a month preschool. Any advice with help thank you!!

I definitely say the Banshee is a great choice. I don't have one myself.....yet, but I seriously want one.

I have a smok alien 220 and work on vehicles, big trucks ect, seems to be pretty rugged so far though going to get a sleeve for it, battery life is good working a 9.5 hour day.

I have the Yosta 160w dual battery mod that I bought from Fasttech for about $23.00 back in Feb. I bought that for a cheap beater box that I would be able to drag everywhere and not worry about because it was cheap- that mod really works well! It is super lightweight and have had no issues with it - except for the sleeve on mine has developed a small crack, no problem as FT is now selling the sleeves separately for about $2.50 each!
While the mod is lightweight- it is too big to fit in a pocket, unless you wear cargo pants. I use this outside while doing all my yardwork, I also use it for my Twisted Messes RDA and I don't use Temp Control , but You Tube reviewers have liked this mod!
I love my asMODus Minikin V1.5 and V2- those are much smaller than the Yosta, but also much heavier- but the V2 would fit in a pocket. Watch some reviews on You Tube, might help with your decision.
I don't think any mods can take much abuse- I saw a video of the asMODus Ohmsium which seemed to fair pretty well with abuse(they dropped it out a window and it still worked). I like dual battery mods, so the Ohmsium is not for me.

Sorry, initially missed your dual 18650 comment.
Beater mod you say? Battlestar will do everything you need it to do without braking the bank. Highly recommended.

It might be about twice as much as the battlestar but the Ijoy dual 20700 mod has a solid battery life. I use the rx2/3 in dual battery mode and it fits really well in the pocket and it's not very expensive at all. Good luck!

I just want to thank everyone for the input. I finally pulled the trigger today. Although I got something outside of the three I listed. LOL. I discovered that Rolfvape offers a 5 year warranty on thier mods. 5 years. I had to read it a few times before it set in. I did a little research and although limited the Zbox or Warlock seems like it got some good solid reviews. Being that I have literally gone through a mod every 3-4 months for the last 5 years, I have had a few. The vtc mini 2 has stood the test of time and is still ticking. I'm on my second RX 200 and the Alien I just got fell and has been super glued together more than once. LOL. I can say that the invader mini lasted the longest but the screen gave up then the board died. IPV 2 lasted a long time as well but I gave it to a friend that was quitting smoking. Anyways Thanks again guys and gals for the help.
I wouldve suggested an IPV5...solid construction..no plastic shit on it and dual18650..24hrs is a long time though and im guessing you can vape at will when possible...i would still carry and extra pair of batteries to be on the safe side.
