I have kept quite a few of the glass bottles of e juice that come with droppers. I am glad i did because i use them to hold juice from the bigger bottles that humble juice co uses. I am not sure what that style of juice bottle is called but i assumed it was for dripping. My old devices and my big baby beast tanks work best with droppers and generally i spill a lot with the other style.

So i was filling the tank on the g150 mod and heard a little crunch. I thought i had just pushed it in the silicone top too hard or whatever. I noticed that i was spilling a lot when i was trying to continue filling it though.

A while later i realized that i had broken off the very bottom of the dropper and that there was probably a piece of glass in my tank! Sure enough there was. I tried to dump out the contents before removing the glass piece but it wouldn't dump out. When i took the bottom off the tank the air rushing in finally allowed the juice to release... All over myself and the table. I am not concerned about the nicotine exposure as it was only max 5 mils of 3 mg juice but I am annoyed i wasted a tank full of it. It takes forever to order sometimes and I am almost out now.

Anyways that's my story. I didn't get cut so that's good. Also the silicone top to the tank is now rough around the pour hole and it spills a bit when filling. I think the small cut from the glass messed it up and i should think about changing it out. I will probably wait until i find a place to order another backup first just in case.

I changed the coil during this process too. I am a little worried about small pieces of glass in the cotton. I had taken 700 puffs off the coil anyway so it was on it's way out.
If I hadn't had this incident i might have kept using that coil for another day or two because it wasn't that bad and i am cheap.

I guess my lesson is to be more careful.

I am pretty sure that you do not have to worry that glass fragments made it through the cotton and got vaporized. To be honest if I broke a dropper tip off in a tank I would problem finish it and then rinse it out but still use the coil until it was spent. But when in doubt don't which is what you did.

I just don't like glass bottles with the droppers... and that's a big part of why...(the other reasons is I'd rather squeeze the bottle and get the tank filled in a single shot, and on the go, it's a lot simpler)
The plastic bottles are like stress balls.[emoji3]

Good point. And why do we drive on a parkway....but park on a driveway? Things that make you go hmmmmmm.....
How can naming a juice "Unicorn Vomit" be a good selling point?
Might as well name it "Catbox Hairball", put it in a plastic bottle with a glass dropper.[emoji2]
