An Unusual Vaping Accident

[oplholik]

The answer for the butter was to get the ring to slip off easily. As far as weight goes, mine is fine. Arthritis in my joints has made things like this more difficult. Thanks for your advice tho.

Totally understood. Just thought about it and edited post before I read yours.

I suppose as I am still in my 20s (late though they are), I've never had the problem of wedding rings being permanently fixed on.

Apologies

Edit; Can I explain to the future wife; that I'm just not a ring kinda guy?

 

[oplholik]

Me either until the last few years. Apologies accepted.

I don't know what that means. I had to check the email to see 'wub'.
what does it mean in this case?

 

[classwife]

rofl !


It means I luv you guys

 

[oplholik]

Mousing over it tells what it means. We all wub each other.

You guys... I don't have a mouse or a wedding ring

I have an iPad an the laptops wrapped up downstairs.
I suppose things could be worse.

I got this though

TBH, we don't know each other really and I only mistakenly implied that your fat.
But still... I like the picture

 

[oplholik]

LOL! That's a great pic. I'm gonna have to save that.

i have raynaud's... which means even though i wear kids gloves with my tiny hands, cold etc can make my fingers swell a bit... doesn't take much to get a ring stuck. advising safe ways to remove a ring to prevent a repeat of this kind of incident, is a good thing.

You use the butter to slick the finger up to remove the ring

...among other things...

While re-wrapping an 1860 yesterday I grabbed the top of the naked battery and my wedding band shorted it. This turned my ring into the largest and most expensive single wrap coil in vaping history. By the time I had registered the searing pain and gotten the ring off my finger, the entire top layer of skin had come away on a 90 degree arc. I’m judging this to be a 3rd degree burn as it doesn’t actually hurt very much, and it’s left a really deep trough in my finger. I’ve had to recycle the battery as the top insulator was damaged, and I have no idea how many amps I pulled out of it and therefore what internal damage was done. The burnt skin was fairly easy to remove from the ring.
I’ll refrain from posting pictures as I don’t think anyone needs to see that.

I’m not afraid to not look cool if it helps someone else to avoid getting injured. The batteries we use for vaping are dangerous and have the potential to injure us, so don’t get complacent.

Be safe vaping brethren.

Everybody knows you're supposed to arc weld with your right hand.

Tough times, bud. Heal up fast.

My ring is tight...I hold ice cubes to get my fingers to shrink.

Granted they only have to shrink a bit.

Often, you can wrap your ring finger tightly with string, working from the tip to the ring. This forces the blood out of your finger. When you quickly unwrap the finger, the ring often comes off easily. You could use butter at the same time.

Sorry for your abrupt learning experience, Sonic. Thanks for sharing.

My wedding band has spent the last 51 years on my key chain because of a similar incident. (VW voltage regulator was a bad place to rest my hand)

There's a cool utube vid on the String technique. Seems like it works quite well.
