Ha, you want to hear about ruining clothes? I burned a hole in my wedding veil the day I got married. The wind caught me wrong and whipped it into my face while I was out front smoking nervously.
Horrible part is, it happened in front of my mother, and the veil was from her wedding 25 years ago. I still doubt she's forgiven me.
OMG, that is awful..at least my Mom didn't see the burns on her table...I think....
Now that i can actually keep my window closed I've noticed two things:
1. I have no clue how to use the temperature dial on my climate control( i always kept it all the way hot or all the way cold and adjusted how much i opened the window depending on if i was hot or cold)
2. With the windows closed...my car makes alot of funny sounds...i think it might be time for a tune up

It was a wonderful spring day. I was driving along US 441 and had the windows down in my '61 Chevy Belair. I flicked a .... out the front window, and, unbeknownst to me, it flew in the back window. I was driving with one hand on the wheel and an arm on the seat back, and then I smelled SMOKE. The back seat was on fire. It had gotten into the cotton batting, and it wasn't just smoldering, it broke into flame. Fortunately there was a fruit stand coming up. I stopped, borrowed their hose, and put the fire out. Then I rolled the back windows up and continued on my way.
Ah, to be young and dumb once again. Ah, and if I'd KEPT that Chevy...

Thank you for this thread. I've been getting frustrated with e-cig maintenance as I have yet to get a system down.
I have a scar on my ring finger from where a cherry got stuck between my ring and my knuckle. Nasty burn blister- ouch! Then there was the time a burning ash flew up my nose, or when I burned my bangs lighting a cig.... Wind + smoking = pain.

The problems with the analog sticking to ones lips as you try to remove it and burn yourself is on I remember doing many a time!
However, the worst thing that happened to me, I was smoking in a fairly decent wind (I sail a lot). Normal procedure is to face down-wind to keep the smoke drifting away. However, during one hard drag, in conjunction with a hard gust, caused a large burning ember fly up through an eddy in the air current and get me right in the eye.
Did you know you can get a blister on the whites of your eyeball?8-o I do!
I'll be trying to remember that when I'm cursing at the atty that has inconveniently died on me.
Best Regards

How bout those days when you wake up in the morning, and realize you have no analogs, so you go thru the used butts in the ash tray to find some butts that still have a little analog left on them. Then you straighten them out as much as you can, and light it even tho the lighter is starting to burn your nose.
OMG!! love the stories..
ok here is mine. in high school first time meeting my boyfriends parents. went over there for dinner his mom smoked...only one ash tray..well she grilled me for about 10 minutes light a cig and i light one of mine...she never once offered me the ashtray...so i used my hand...nervous flicking i know you all know what happend next....cherry fell off the cig into my hand. i tried to play it off as it was burning the crap out of my hand. she puts hers out and says sweetly...would you like the ash tray?? i said yes thank you..threw the ashes...yes all ashes at this point had a nice burn on my hand..into the ashtray..then she proceeded to grill me for about 20 minutes more the whole time im trying to sit on my hand rub it on the couch ball my hand up...then when she left the room i ran to the bathroom for cold water....man its a wonder me and that guy didn't stay together......hahaha
yes i definitly don't miss the rain storms in florida flicking the analog out the window and it catching on the water and rolling back up the window..after a while became a game with me and my best friend...defintily not trying that with my 801!!!

ROTFL! I had a boss that used to do that. One day I showed him how we used to crush the butts to get the little tobacco out and roll a cigarette. Just as I'm finishing a dandy little RYO with his recycled tobacco one of my coworkers walked by and asked "Where's you learn to do that?"
I couldn't help myself, I looked him dead in the eye and with a straight face and said "In prison"
I thought my boss was going to pee himself laughing.
LOL I love this thread!! How ingenius! I laughed so hard I coughed!
I had a few foul packs of marlboro before. I think the pack went stale, however, it could be any number of reasons why it smelled and tasted like cat urine.
The thing I don't miss the most is driving along, lighting a cigarette, and forgetting I closed the window, so when I went to flick ashes, I ended up smashing the cigarette (lit end) into the window and showering my arm with ashes. This is why I have a lot of little bitty scars all over my left arm. Gosh I don't miss that!! Now I just reach for my ol 901 that is on a usb passthrough attached to an IPOD car charger and puff away. No more burns!!!

I took to the MYO because Camel had a habit of producing the most wrong and foulest packs every once in a while. At $4+ a packet (this was pre-the-insane-tax-increase) who can afford to toss out the stinky pack?
Does anyone know the origin of the random nasty pack? Did they stuff a dead rat into one of their machines?
Love the thread BTW
I always wondered if that was just me, sometimes a pack of camels would taste amazing, then there were times they made me almost gag taking a drag, but I would smoke them all because I was dedicated, haha
OMG...the worse thing analogs ever did to me? When a guy at work whom I had the biggest crush on asked me to come out to see his brand new pick-up during smoke break...we're sitting in the cab, I was making brilliant conversation....and my cherry came loose when I ashed out the window and it fell right onto the seat...brand new truck...and burned a hole.
God I wanted to die.
But I think the wedding veil story wins though...lol!!
I adore my 901!! I got it three days ago and the half pack of analogs I had left when I picked up the package are on the fridge untouched. As soon as I'm confident I have plenty of e-supplies...out they go. I don't even care that pack cost nearly $10!

I always hated how my lighters seem to collect little balls of lint right in the hole where the flame should be. They wouldnt light and i would be fighting with the darn thing trying to knock the lint ball out. Reminds me of those old hand held games with the marbles and the slots...
I am glad i no longer have that lighter collecting lint in my pockets...

You all are making me laugh so hard, I'm crying 
How many of you had to learn to "duck" the analog below the vents in the car to get to the ash tray? Can't tell you how many times I forgot and got ashes blown in my face and all over my clothes. Of course brushing said ashes away just made smears on the clothes AND on my face. I ended up looking like I had escaped a brush fire, or combat

here is a fun story
couple years ago when I had a Chevy Lumina, I had a rear view mirror that clipped on over top of the built in rear view mirror and it allowed me to see out my back windows so I didn't have to turn around when switching lanes, came in really handy. Anyway I'm driving down the highway on my way to work doing 70mph enjoying my cigarette, had it hanging out of my mouth while I was messing with something else like all drivers do, but still paying attention to the road, just using one hand to drive, other hand to feel around for my soda on the seat next to me when all of a sudden, the hood of my car flys open and smacks against the roof of my car just missing the windsheild, thank god. Anyway as it hits the snap on mirror flys off, and of course it hits me right in the mouth where the cig is hanging, the cigarette seemed to blow up all over got a couple small burns on my face, I didn't have time to really react to the cigarette sence I was on a busy highway doing 70 and could no longer see because my hood is up. So I had to pull over and figure out a way to strap it down (the latch had rusted off, I knew it was going to happen just didn't think it would go without a significant warning).
Thats probably one of the worst things thats happened to me while smoking an analog, other than the random burning yourself with the cherry because the cig is stuck to your mouth. Or just dropping the cig on accident and burning something.
Oh what about going to drop the cig out the window and it falls down the window and then rides back up the window then back down it a couple times until it either finally falls off or comes flying back in the car, I've had cigs come flying back in and hit me in the head, as you can see from my picture I have long hair, and burning cig in the head is not a good thing. It's like Michael Jackson in that old Pepsi commercial mishap.

@ Wendy: Thank you so much for offering to repair that old veil, that's so sweet of you! But I think I'm just going to let sleeping bears lie...
Wow, all these stories remind me of the bad times that we just accepted.
I can't wait for the day the e-juice is in stores all over, along with batteries, atomizers, etc.
Just think...out of juice? Just go to the convenience store. Could you just imagine that day? No planning...you can just pick up your replacements. Pre-charged batteries, several droppers to choose from...etc.
And less retail space needed.
Anyway, cigarettes were more "convenient", but they did cause more problems. I remember the ripped lip thing at least twice a month...and the broken butts.
Hell, I got a ticket for littering because I threw a .... out the window. Never have to go through that crap again.

MAN i thought i was the only one who had the problems with burn holes in the seats and nasty cigs. But try this one out. 5 years ago when i was in the army 8-10 of my buddies were watching the superboal. Big screen plenty of alchol...well during half time ( mine you we were drinking earlier that day so...) I went back to my room to get another pack of smokes and on the way there was a dude from the superboal party totaly waisted and was about 5 steps to his baracs door. He was sitting with his back to the wall and his head slopped to the side and smoke and a little flame coming from his shirt. Luckly I had a bottle of water in hand ( i like to drink plenty of water while drinking helps keep the hangover down to a minum). Andyway thi guys was completly comotose even after throwing the water on him. thank god he didnt make back to his room....he could of caught the hole damn baracks on fire not including himself. oh good ol days
