DOH!

Was hitting a very hot build hard, got a dryish hit, even a bit of cotton smolder. So I quickly whipped off the top cap and started painting some juice. I touched the tip of my juice bottle onto the hot coil and melted a bit onto it. Worse, I didn't realize till I took a big ol' hit...not the tastiest vape I've ever had.

Kanthal is cheap, experience is priceless.

Kinda remind you of lighting the wrong end of a cigarette?

[CallmeRage]

Reminds me of when you have a dripper and try and vape with the cap off accidently

Been there, done it, got the t-shirt.
I also once tried to light a cigarette off an a two bar electric heater, got to close and burnt the tip of my schnoz on the metal safety grill. Blisters for days.

the things people do to have a lit ciggie

Oh wait, never happens to me.

Once I went to light a cigarette off a gas stove eye and burnt my eyelashes and eyebrow off one side of my face. Luckily my hair was in a ponytail

What I always hated when I was smoking the logs' was when you would have it hanging out of your mouth for a few minutes and it sticks to your lips. Then you go and try to pull it out of your mouth with your two fingers and it stays stuck to your lips and your fingers slide down the CIG pulling the cherry off. OUCH! Hated that!

chuff caps are great. and you don't have to worry if you happen to have a platic dripper bottle.

not everyone vapes on a muffler though

drip into the juice well instead of directly onto the coils.

Mine wasn't. No gas stove, but a Bic lighter & a waking stupor.

so much for safety grills

I watched my sister light up and burn her eyebrows and bangs. Someone thought it'd be funny to turn up the juice on her lighter.

It's more preventing 3rd degree burns than anything else.

That works too. But if OP is willing to try it, a muffler really keeps the coils much cooler, you can build lower, you get more vapor, and you don't need to remove the top cap to re-drip. I am actually surprised if I happen to see any new RDA come out that doesn't already come wide-bore from the factory. It truely is a great way to do it.

an alternative is also get a derringer style 510 driptip, its widebore and still normal 510 connection, i use them and drip through mine all the time.

I did something similar dry burning and cleaning a coil once heh. Grabbed the old toothbrush I use to rake the coils a little too early right after firing it at like 30w. Saw the bristles start smoking and went 'Oh yeah maybe I should let it cool down a bit'.. Hope none of that melted into the coil now that I think about it..
