Been struggling for 4 hours trying get an enjoyable vape.

First, my mini protank 2 started leaking and I figured out I'm missing a gasket. I've gone through 4 coil heads in 3 hours so I thought why not just try to rebuild them. Well that failed miserably, I'm just terrible at wrapping the wire and I don't even have a torch so I taste nothing but burnt nastiness. I looked at the youtube videos and I do not have the tools right now to pull that off. The mini protank 2 has been retired and I ordered two more with removable drip tips, but in the mean time I need something to vape so I'm using a huge 25mm tank that's wider than the k100 body itself, but the problem is I only have 3 ohm cartos on a 3.7v battery so it's super weak. I could switch the tank to my provari but that's having problems. I can't get the spring to sit right in the extended cap so the 18650 is jiggling around in there making the thing go crazy and start blinking and I don't have any 18490 batteries to swap. The only way I could use the provari is put a baby pink extended cap on a carbon fiber wrapped PV, so I'll just stick with the k100 and hold it down a long time. And to top it off I got some juice into the middle hole of the carto after the tank was filled up, and after trying to blow the excess juice out it still makes this ugly nasty sound every time I hit it.

UGH, you spend hundreds if not thousands on vaping and this is what you get...

Yes, some days are just like that. It's incredibly frustrating, especially since vaping is supposed to be helping you cope with the fact that everything else you touch that day turns to doody....lol
 
I've had days like that. I usually just break down all my tanks, wash em thoroughly, and change the coils out. Then my tanks start working right again. Except the one time I didn't catch a small crack on my protank Pyrex piece on the threads. Bought a replacement for 5 bucks. Good as new. Still can't figure out how I cracked it.....:?:

Last week. :(

I started the night before, as I got up to go to bed I knocked my SID of the desk, didn't think anything of it, put it back on the desk and went to bed. Next morning, grab the SID and the mouthpiece of the ARO tank (non-Pyrex) feels wrong? BROKEN!!??!! It was split in half vertically with a few other cracks in it too. :grr: So I grab an old CE4 and fill it with the juice that's left it the tank and go to order a new Pyrex ARO, half-way through ordering and 5 puffs into the CE4 I fell something dripping down my shirt, the CE4 had cracked almost in half horizontally. I'd forgot that I'd had a known tank cracker juice in the ARO. I kinda didn't believe that juices could crack tanks because I'd used it in a V1 ARO with no problems, I believe now!

Not superstitious BUT today has been one of those days for me too. Been vaping a coffee flavor all day, and yep, clogged up the business end of my TXL Vision Tank (store was out of Pro Tank 2's). Took it apart, washed it good, and lost part of my already nasty wick! Leaks like a sieve!! :glare:

Had to switch back to a CE4. Oh, well, the store will be open tomorrow and least I'm still vaping!

Ugh, I had one of those days recently. All my tanks were flooded or burnt, then ALL of my batteries died at almost the same time. I was vaping on this tiny cig-a-like with a juice I liked, but tasted a little like the gross juice that was in it before. :( We all have those frustrating days. At least we're not smoking, right?

Wow, I feel for you. Had one of those days when I was first starting out. Thankfully I didn't have a car at that moment or I'd have driven into the market for a pack of cigarettes. The poor dog got an earful until I assemble usable. Now I keep about four options available if choice number one decides to take a dive on me. Hope tomorrow is a far better day. :)
