carrying e-cigarette

[jimgman]

if you read this....thank you cash...i got my e-cigarette today.seems to work good so far, ill have to get the hang of it. my question for you all( i've been reading a lot of the forums for the past week, but this is my first post), i got the 901, and would like to know if its ok to carry it vertically(like in my shirt pocket), and would it be better to carry it with the led tip up, or mouthpiece tip up? and thank you all btw, i have learned TONS by reading all your posts since i ordered last week, so i feel fairly prepared

Personally I try and keep it cart up / led down. Maybe a paranoid juice thing.

I do the same.. It looks like the juice in the reservoir can leak out if it is upside down, so I never chance it..

I try to keep mine LED down, if the cartridge is really full, and there's just the slightest bit of liquid on the mouthpiece, it has a tendency to wick into the shirt material. That being said, these things are rarely out of my mouth for any given time, so leaks are rare.

hmm, didnt think about staining....anyway, thanks for the replies. i guess i was did led up for the time being,what im worried about is if the liquid does move...it could flood the atomizer and the battery and do damage

I like to keep mine in my change pocket if I am wearing jeans.. it fits so nicely in there, and I haven't had any flooding issues to date (although I solely use the drip method)..

By the way.. is that by any chance a Mitch Hedberg quote in your sig youfillintheblank?

Welcome jimgman. I'm also from Delaware. If I carry it in my shirtpocket, I keep the mouthpiece tip down so the atomizer doesn't get dripped on. Haven't had any leakage issues.
(E-rette or otherwise ...)

I would say that flooding with a normal cart would be unusual. Flooding would most likely be caused through dripping.

I usually start the day with a prefilled cart then top off throught the day as vapor drops off. Not had any flooded atts yet.

Yes, liquid can kill your battery. The only time I killed a battery is by blowing into the mouthpiece with the battery on. It went south immediately, It was new to me so I didn't really know.

the stains actually clean out pretty easy, a little detergent on a wet cloth and they come right out.

Now that did make me laugh.

Been carrying mine LED down since August and i also fashioned a clip to my 901 so it looks just like a pen in my shirt. Have had ZERo problems doing this and my atomizers have lasted me an AVG of 2 months.

Best of luck.

It's alright, I'm trying my best to bleach my brain right now with wine and lager.

Hey, c'mon, I've got to build my alcohol tolerance back up in time for Hogmanay, I've got a good excuse...

Alright, fess up. Who's actually got em in a pocket protector?

Stop this hilarity, please.

 

[GabbyD]

LOL! Where does one even purchase a pocket protector these days?

 

[jimgman]

LOL, you guys are funny! and thank you for making me feel welcome, even though the suggestion of simply keeping it in my mouth 24/7 dosnt help me all that much and i think my kid would run away from home (and my wife would prolly follow) if i got a pocket protector.....but i decided on led down figuring to keep the liquid toward the atomizer, since others have had good luck that way....and thanks again

Just to confuse matters if I put it in my inside coat pocket then it is horizontal.

I have a Case that I carry my e-cigs in, but I take them apart instead of keeping the cartridge in the atomizer or together in my pocket. it's a small case and the material actually absorbs the fluid when I flip the atomizer upside down in the case. Have no worries about flooding the atomizer that way.
