The Beater Mod Challenge

As an opening challenge to ease us in, something to whet the appetite of what’s to come:

We challenge the Community to post up pictures of their Beater mods. The paint job may have gone, it may have dinks in it, it’s probably done more miles than a Mercedes diesel, its survived leaking of biblical proportions, yet just like Jason out of Friday the 13th the bastard simply won’t die.

This challenge seeks out set ups that have stood the test of time…after all companies who make long lasting mods should be recognised.

Challenge Specific Rules and Restrictions
  1. Regulated mods only
  2. Must be functioning safely. Picture of the screen on is required. Cracks and fogging are ok, non-functioning screens are not.
  3. No pictures from the internet. In the interest of fairness we ask that you include your forum username written on paper next to the picture submission
  4. Have more than one beater? Post them as well the more the merrier!
  5. We won’t be accept any product that would breach forum rules (herb, wax etc) these products are cause for disqualification and will be removed
  6. If it looks new the chances are it’s probably not a beater!
  7. The VU Challenge Team have chosen to excuse themselves from all prizes, however are free to contribute as much as they like
  8. Global Forum rules apply at all times (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/rules-of-the-forum.255/)
  9. Challenge Global Rules apply at all times
    (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/global-challenge-rules.433025/)

For more info on how the VU Challenges work please see

How the prize is selected for this Challenge

The VU challenges aren’t about who is best or winning they’re about meeting new people and bringing our community together. In that endeavour we want to award our amazing community for their input and insights. We have engaged sponsors who share our vision of community work as a token of our appreciation.

The VU Challenge Team will collect all valid entries from those who genuinely contribute and roll at random on this challenge. Thank you all in advance for making this dream possible. The team will be looking for notable community members as the challenges progress to award elusive badges.

As an example;

This will raise some eyebrows :D my Beater mod beleive it or not is .......a Smok H-Priv 220w bought back in 2016

E8B03187-C257-424C-8AED-F552A2245518.jpeg
A1CFE1DC-8D0A-4BD6-8E7A-17D8E36C4B01.jpeg
CFACDCC9-EBB0-46C2-8F5C-16AE2D236BE1.jpeg

This mod has been with me since the start, the fire bar is a bit gammy these days, the screen is fogged so bad where I’ve had tanks leaks all over it or just from condensation....and the puff counter decided to give up at some point but who cares it still fires and goes about it business

Halo Beater.jpg

Bought this Halo mod while travelling one year and in a bind. Still works like a champ and still travels. It has been dropped, almost completely submerged in water briefly and is no worse for wear aside from being ugly.

MVP 20W Beater.jpg

Aside from being hideous and many years old this MVP will keep on ticking. Use it all the time for tootle puffing at low watts.

OK, One more.:D
For this we have a mod that I had 3 of as beaters.
I used these as my daily beaters for at least a year.
This is the smallest dual 18650 box that I had seen at the time.



Just to be clear to competitors.
To enter a member will need to post at least one pic of a beater mod with the screen on along with the members screen name in the pic.

@KingPin! this would be considered a proper entry correct?


It's a Cloupor GT80 w/ Kanger TopTank:

Too bad the rules state regulated, I could defo post a winner with a couple of the Invaders. Their paint jobs suck big time.

mechs go the distance, some you’ll drive over with a truck and they’ll shake it off, we were more interested to see what the community had that’s lasted a good while with a bit of gadge inside

Have older mods but they seldom make an appearance these days. The Hugo 133 is what I test new bottom af rtas on. That ones a workhorse, if I used it more I would have entered it; it's been dropped on a few dogwalks and margarita nights over the last couple of years.:facepalm:

When I think beater in the true sense, I envision beaten but not broken...Closest mod I own that is beat upon is my Hcigar VT133 I bought over 2 years ago... it has died a few times and auto fired...from not caring about juice dropping through the 510 and across the board from drainage of RSAs when I go to rewick.

I've taken her to bits and Isopropyl bathed her to bring her back from death 3 times... the VT is my glorified Ω meter and coil pulse tool.

I slapped on an RTA for pictures sake...(something I don't use and should just clean lol) but as mentioned she is just a tool for rebuilding now and nothing more.

Many might think she is far from being a beater from the pics...rest assured she is my beater mod...I am just not overly abusive

Great submission thanks Don (just need one more shot with the paper and name on) :vino:I’m curious to learn more about this iso soaking can you litterally submerge components and they come out fine after an air dry?

I originally used it to clean the 510 area, and since I had the mod tore down by then, I figured to use a old toothbrush and scrub the whole board, daughter board etc. ... for there was a lot of crud...I did remove the screen from the board, I don't think ISO would be good to use on that...but for the chip board all good.

Same goes for a Pico Squeeze I had that started to auto fire... being that these things are only $17... I dropped the whole thing in my ultrasonic cleaner filled with Iso and ran it for a few passes, and the Squeeze works great again.

I posted about the Squeeze with pics in Bonkers thread ;)

Worked great lol

Smok alien 220tc from the first batch after release. Used it for a little over a year. Used to be black. I held the fire bar on with a hair tie. And the top plate is broken. But it still hits like the day I bought it :D

Now that’s a Beater! :D
still works like a champ :D i have to give eleaf credit here, this istick and my istick30 have proven to be some of the toughest regulated mods i have.

Where are all the squonk holes???
i dont have any regulated squonkers, and my only 'ugly' one is a frankenskull clone that i purposely sanded down to 'apocalyptic' finish, so its not a beater, its a work of art :p
