Freshman Mistake

[Nena]

Once I was past my first year of college, my voice professor would always admonish me to not make "freshman mistakes" when I was singing.

Guess the same applies to vaping.

Last night I was all comfy in my jammies, snuggled up with the puppy. I picked up my e-cig, stuck it in my mouth and totally WITHOUT THINKING picked up a lighter and tried to LIGHT IT.

Fortunately, I realized my mistake in an instant and didn't even singe or melt the tip. Please tell me I am NOT the only one who has ever done that!!!

Old habits die hard. Bad old habits die harder.

Ha ha, yeah, I've seen a couple people post about that.

I haven't done it yet myself, mostly because I don't have any lighters in grabbing distance. But I'm sure if I did, I would have.

 

[GiMante]

LOL, that is a good one. Can't say that I wouldn't do that either!

 

[geko]

no but I do keep cracking the windows when I'm driving

 

[VermiciousKnid]

I havent done that cause i pulled all my lighters out of my bag the 1st day, but i would catch my husband trying to ash all the time.

 

[christianadivine]

LOL. that's funny! I haven't done that but only because all of my lighters were thrown into one drawer in my room once I got my PV, so I don't have them lying around either.

Ahhh....hadn't even thought of that! It's so darn hot here I try to avoid opening the car window. But that doesn't mean I won't....so much to look forward to!

That's pretty common. Me and my guy both tried to do the exact same thing within the first weeks or three.

The funniest was when the other half found a loose thread on his shirt. He tried to burn it off with the LED of his PV. I laughed out loud on that one.

Other common oopses:

*Throwing the PV out the car window
*Dropping it on the ground and trying to step on it to "put it out"
*Ashing it
*Fumbling it and jumping back suddenly to avoid getting burnt

All of these are followed by and often

LOL, LOL at throwing it out the car window! That would make me so mad! I'm sure I'll do something crazier than trying to light it at some point...I do fully expect that I will drop one in the lake while fishing at some point. Hopefully it will be in shallow water in warm weather cause I'd hate to dive for it when it's 25 degrees!

I guess I gotta buy nail clippers to keep in the boat! I always used a cig to burn the line when I retied. I justified MANY cigs that way, and changed lures quite often

I found myself ashing. Me and my mom both blew on the battery end when the draw was a little too hard trying to relight the flame lol! I dropped my one time and my mom freaked for a sec I reminded her it is ok there is no fire.

 

[fizil]

I know i'm laughing now, but when I get my first pv in the next few days, I'm certain I'll do some of that. I just hope not the tossing out the car window or stomping the crap out of it

 

[Sardonic]

I find myself cracking the window when I drive sometimes. I also "flip" the cig to throw off the ash. A couple of times I've gone through the motion of almost tossing the cig when approaching a non-smoking area or a group of people, realizing just then what I was doing and having to laugh.

Muscle memory is real. Now where's that lighter dammit?

 

[classwife]

LOL I am one of the window roller downers !!!

 

[Sardonic]

Right on Tampa! Now I'm just waiting for the day I roll the window down, ash out the e-cig and then toss it out the window at another car before that goofy look on my face sets in. Oh, it'll happen.

 

[Taegost]

Heh, that's why I purposely don't hold it like a cigarette, I'm very much a creature of habit
I haven't actually lit mine, but I've gone searching for a lighter before I caught myself

 

[Sardonic]

It's funny, the holding habits. I find that I hold my Modern Vapor like a pipe, and my mini health e-cig like a regular smoke, while I hold my vapor 9 like a pen or even straight out like a lolli-pop. My girlfriend holds hers like a regular cig but at almost a straight downward angle.

 

[Skyehawk]

I tried to light mine several times the first week...still crack the car window and almost wrecked after dropping it while driving forgetting that there was no "fire" on the end...Oh my...LOL

 

[Sardonic]

OH YEA! I haven't done the "drop, freak, and roll" yet, forgot about that little gem of driving and smoking. I think you take the award on this one!
