This really isn't a dumb thing but it's kinda funny. So tonight I'm laying in bed reading with my OG bottom feeder at my side. (I have other pv's vv and such but the old goat is great with a resurrector) anyway my husband comes in and one thing leads to another and another and so on and later I roll over and realize that the OG is under me! I take it out and put it on the nightstand.. I did have the presence of mind to feel of the carto and see if it was hot.. it wasn't.. but the switch was on..(so I cut it off)
Later I am sitting here at my computer and go to take a draw off the OG and .. nothing.. dang! another carto dead! WTH! (I've had a recent rash of atty and a carto death lately) so I take off the carto and test it with a multimeter and it tests fine.. I put it on another pv and it fires fine??? The led on the OG is still lighting up..but the carto won't fire. I open it up and look around but don't see any wire the have come loose.
Crap! I can't do without it! It's something I use daily! I even start to compose to letter to Old Goat himself on why I am sending the box back for repairs.. Then I tighten the catchcup, it's not really loose but I fiddle with it anyway..

Success! It works again! (I'll be more careful next time!)

Was boiling my SS cartos clean . Just finished and blew them out and shut the stove off (Electric) then thought hmm maybe they will dry faster if i stand them up on the warm glass burner . hmm 5 min should do it . I come back and and grab the carto fast and start to blow it out again not realizing it was SCORCHING hot . Lets just say i had a nice carto imprint on my lips . My lips just sizzled . Had a big blister for the next few days .

OUCH, I did a dry burn on my Ce2 out of the tube and Dry burned it real good, then grabbed the ceramic cup to blow the ash off the coil and wow was it hot, it didn't take to long to look at it. LOL

I also had one another funny thing happen . I went to vape and my rubber drip tip was gone .It must have just fell off in the last minute or two . I search everywhere i had just been with no luck . I was like damn i lost it . A few min later i went in my pocket for something a omg theres my drip tip . I never put my ecigs in my pocket .It must have fell off and landed directly in my pocket .I had this happen once when i was ...... too and the drip tip fell off into the toilet bowl . I did rinse it off and still use it lol . It was my only drip tip . I love the soft rubber drip tips but they do always fall off .

I decided to be cool and vape at McDonalds after we ate. It wasn't until I got home that I realized my Volt had been on the tray when I threw away our garbage!

3 weeks ago the button fell off my manual battery. So I decided to very carefully super glue it back into place. Do I really have to finish this story? :facepalm:

Sorry on both counts, At least you know what happened to yours. I sometimes think I have a friendly ghost that puts my stuff somewhere else than where I put it. LOL

I've done the lap thing. I drive and forget it's there and one time it hit the asphalt when I got out of the car. Other than that, the dumbest thing is when I put my eGo-T in my pocket, cartridge end up. The entire thing drained onto my pants. LOL Never doin' that again because I'm never using a tank again. The leaks were terrible! Moving my whole stash of PVs to cartos now.

The second dumbest thing I did was buy a pack of smokes the day my son was born. I didn't get back to my pv's until he turned 1 in August.

The DUMBEST thing I did is leave one of my KR808's on the armrest of the couch while I went to the restroom. When I returned, I saw my son walking down the hallway happily puffing away. Talk about a wake-up call. He was drinking through a straw by the time he was 8 months so the pv was way too easy.

/facepalm

Inside the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland, they sometimes pipe in good smells in the "ballroom" scene, just so it's got that party vibe. (Like gingerbread at Christmastime, that sorta thing.)

So when I was riding it the other day and started to smell cheesecake, I thought to myself, "oh, this is awesome, I have that to vape too!" and reached into my pocket to grab my ego-T, which has a stainless atomizer.

OW. Hothothot. But my pocket smelled like cheesecake for the rest of the day, so I suppose it was only half-fail, and half-win.
