Big mistake!

[NoNamesLeft]

So... Today I was detailing a car for a customer. I was shampooing the floor matts on a table, finished and layed my mod down nice and gently. I just purchased this setup, vape rev nemesis with a kayfun 3.1, about 30 mins later I start to clean up my mess and wrap all the hoses and what not back up. I'm all cleaned up and ready to leave when I realize... Where the hecks my mod?.... Low and behold it's fallen off the table and rolled on the asphalt. I guess when I was wrapping up the hoses I knocked my mod off the darn table!!!

ofcourse I gasp and run to see the damage... At first glance I wanted to cry!!! My kayfun was all crooked and I had some not so attractive scuffs! I managed to get the kayfun all straightened out... No big deal. In a panic I decided it was a good idea to use a deburr style wheel to try and smooth out some of those scuffs.( knowing very well that the wheel on the buffer was far to aggressive) and actually just managed scratching the heck out of the whole thing.

I end up taking it to a buddy's house with the proper buffing wheels and polishes... Kayfun looks brand new again, but the nemesis is going to take some professional touches... I plan on calling around tomorrow to have a professional buffing/polishing shop fix her all up for me, some of the scratches from the wheel i first used are far to close to the logo and serial number for me to feel comfortable doing myself!

long story short, I made a bad situation worse!

Confident someone can make her all pretty again... But right now I'm a pretty bummed vapor!

thought I would share my little fiasco with ya guys.

I usually have it in my hand, or in a holder of sorts... One of the few times I don't... This happens!! Lol

Bum luck

Sorry to hear about the boo-boos.

Hopefully you can find somebody to pretty them up for you.

Get yourself a holster from Vegas Bindery. I am getting one of these bad boys asap. I don't like lanyards myself. Just my thoughts.

If you want it done "as new" send it to a guy with a great reputation , He service is called Vape n Shine, hes on facebook and he does the best work at a very reasonable price, you should see some of the amazing before and afters in the gallery.

(Sniffles) they do?

Lol!!! Yeah, I'd rather just cry and get it fixed up!

I can't even imagine how some of these guys walking around with 2k+ devices feel when they scratch or scuff their mods

if your a car detailer, don't you use a bucket or bag w/ pockets in them for your supplies?..use a pocket to hold the mod..

I'm in construction and I keep my many hand tools in an organizer bucket and have "learned" to put my pv in their for safe keeping..
but, accidents will happen regardless if you take it out of the house.

Luckily it's not too expensive of a lesson to learn. I've been wondering why most mods are circular. A good design would be to make one oval or with angles. I love the King mod because I can lay it down and it won't go anywhere because of the octagonal nuts on the top and bottom.

Thanks for sharing! At least you'll learn what you shouldn't do next time.

 

[GPSTrucker]

It's a bummer when that happens, but it's going to happen sooner or later no matter how careful you are. Such is life.

Hope someone can make it like new again for you.

 

[cags]

ok, from this I've learned to not use machinery when in a panic !

I'm surprised nobody has said this.

Keep the banged up one as an "out and about town" mod. Get another one to keep all pretty.

NoNamesLeft, I'm sorry this happened. Small suggestion, you can now name it Boo-Boo.
