More than once, I'm a slow learner.

More the ends of mesh wicks than coils tho, so only very painfull, not excruciating.

Nah it's excruciating. Being a multiple offender your lips have hardened like the soles of your feet. You are now at the 'only very painful' stage. Soon you''ll be like 'burned through to me tonsils and didn't feel a thing' stage.

Kudos for stepping forward though. :thumbs:

Laughed at that many a times, lol. Didn't know it was supposed to be a warning :). Had bloody good ice-cream that evening, followed by hot coffee on it in the morning, as I had forgotten. Always sumptin...
Depends on where you live I guess. In North Dakota it was absolutely a warning. Much was made of how you DON’T want to tear your tongue loose but must instead heat up the piece of metal to the point where your tongue melts off again. Much was made of the amount of blood involved if this was not done.

Welded their lip to a hot coil???

Nope, I honestly never did that, but I got close a couple of times :w00t:

I did once burn a copy of my coil into a finger,

which is still a really good reminder to not rebuild a rda when I've had a couple of drinks :cool:

I bet your first thought wasn't, "Oh, I wish I hadn't done that!"

Fired hot liquid into my ear yesterday. I always keep my devices switched off in my pocket and I was using an Istick basic when out and about. Made even shorter with a short drip tip.

Five clicks of the button to switch off, there's no screen but it has a flashing light to indicate it's off, which ya can't see in the sunlight. I developed a habit of holding it near my ear and firing, listening for, or absence of, the tell tale sizzle.

Pop goes the juice, not direct into my ear drum you understand, I'm not totally mental. A twelve inch drip tip should fix the problem. :w00t:

There's only one thing worse than stepping on a piece of wire in bare feet...the missus stepping on a tiny piece of wire in her bare feet. Who knew a tiny piece of wire could cause so much earache?
I hear you on this....I'm so careful now when I snip the the coil because I have stepped on them and it's no fun. When you see builds on YouTube, they just let them fly

They must be single.
Single doesn’t help. A lot of em have cats. Frequently more than one. (Notices there is no “looking guilty emoji) I’ve found that neodymium magnets work wonders for cleaning up wire bits. They’ll get stuff you can’t even see. Stick a couple to a screwdriver or something and just wave it closely over the area.

It was just humour man but fair play thinking of all their cats. I've been wondering why my hamsters pouches are suddenly so pointy.

I just tried that on my SS 316 wire and the magnet doesn't come close to grabbing it.

Might work better with Kanthal though :cool:, or maybe I don't have good magnets.
