I accidently vaped my 2.0ohm cpol at 7.5 volts 30watts lol it was the worst experance in vaping ever anyone else do this ??

Yup, and it really does suck !!

But it's been a while. After a couple of experiences with 'the ultimate drag from hell' I learned to take a short initial primer puff when I change my setup. Pretty much reduces the chances of that happening to almost zero :)

I've only done a variation on that once and that was when I got my first iStick - eager to get going with it I charged it up, fitted an attie but somehow forgot the bit in the instructions about setting it - 20 strength juice at the full full power it therefore came on at would have been hair raising, if I had any hair left that is.

With my Triton tank also when it was new, after filling the coil had turned to its closed position and I didn't notice, or even know that could happen - new coil, dry hit - not recommended!

My subtank mini was always playing its little jokes on me. I must have lost at least 4 or 5 tanks after rebuilding the rba deck, priming, screwing on a full tank and going to take that first much anticipated first vape, only to realize I forgot to screw on the cap to the rba deck. whould get me every time.

How long did your Min last at 50 watts? Did it pop like a fuse or did it actually smoke?

I once removed my Freemax Starre tank which I had been running at 65W and put on my Nautilus and forgot to change the wattage before firing it.

THAT is a mistake you'll only make once.

Mine produced something, but I don't think it was vapor. It didn't pop the coil itself but the wick was burned beyond recognition. It was sort of like taking a draw from the exhaust manifold of a diesel engine that was running too rich.

That truck definitely will not pass a NYS Emissions Test even for a Diesel!
