Dumbest Thing You've Done with your E-cig

[tlocke]

OK,

For my list.

1. Put my brand new 5 volt evercool on top of the truck then took off. Evercool survived, batteries not so much. (The stories of smoke and flame? All True!!!)
2. Left an entire Ego tank setup in the rental car. (Rental agency "What is an EGO?")
3. Left 6 batteries charging on the inverter in my car. (Can anyone say AAA I need a jump start?)
4. Loaned 2 tank setups to a coworker. (Haven't seen them since.)
5. Took my Evercool swimming. (Mod is fine, once again batteries are dead)

Well - I've actually had an atomizer catch on fire now. The button on my ecig stuck on - and I'm playing Call Of Duty and I hear this sizzling noise. I pick up my ecig and see through the cap hole something glowing BRIGHT red and smoking. I couldn't get the button to unstick! So I panicked and dunked the atty into water. SO GLAD I heard that before I inhaled Dante's Inferno into my lungs.

Felt something a little warm, but didn't pay it any mind until I started to smell burning plastic. Pretty much ruined it.

The mod..or the moment

The mod

I just did this last night. I put one of my prodigy's in my pocket and forgot to lock the button. I sat down on the sofa. A minute later, I was jumping out of my skin. Damn, cartos sure can get hot. Carto, prodigy, and myself were okay. Juice wasn't even burnt.

The mod

Well..inquiring minds and all...

Couldn't figure out why my dual coil wouldn't work with my homegrown 5v PT... turns out a specific combination of adapters and extensions with it causes a dead-short Thankfully, the power supply is protected (which I didn't know before hand )

Oh, the other day, I was practicing filling a cartomizer with the syringe method, and sat there for quite a while puzzling over what an unusually thirsty little bunny this one was, as I pumped in syringe after syringe and watched in the magnifying mirror as it sank right into the Wal-Mart pillow material.

I'd prefer not to get into the exact number of minutes that elapsed before I discovered that I had failed to put the cartomizer's bottom into a condom, but I am able to report that nicotine overdose, when localized to one knee, doesn't seem to cause any ill effects, and in fact may be somewhat moisturizing...

I had my e-cig in one hand and a lighter in the other... and I forgot that my e-cig was an e-cig rather than a real cig... and went to light it with the lighter. Felt pretty stupid.

Thanks for the laugh, Lolady!

I sometimes, when reading in the ECF forum, reach down and pick up a pen instead of the e-cig and think where is the button?

Man... You have got to be Careful when working around 36mg or higher e-Liquids. Nicotine absorbs thru the skin Very fast.

Dumbest thing I did was looking directly down the atty ( a few inches from my face) to see if the coil glows red. The coil did glow, but the liquid popped and hot juice shot right into my eye. I switched to cartos shortly after.

Last night my e-cig went "CLUNK" onto the screen of my iPad. Oh that made my bones hurt. No damage to the iPad though THANK GOD. My e-cig might have been thrown out the window if it had. LOL.

I had just changed the batteries in both of my PV's and one was vaping great, but the other wasn't producing any vapor whatsoever. I checked the atomizer to make sure it isn't dead and it's reading 3.6Ω on my multimeter, so I put it back on and still can't get it to even fire. I took the battery out and realized that I still had my 3.7V battery in the tube...d'oh!

I used to do that quite a bit... Then I got a Darwin.

Dropped it in a cigarette bin before going into a coffee shop wasn't harmed when I run back to it a few minutes later but it was covered in ash and smelled like a rotting lung (aka ashtray)
