like right when i woke up, i hit on my low ohm rda. and a big ole drop of juice burnt out and hit me right in the eye. never really expected that to happen. just wanted to remind you all to be careful. im going to now try to remember to keep my air flow off to one of the sides. it wasnt too bad of a pain, but i have a very high pain tolerance, and it definitely was not fun.

well, i hold my rdas with the air vent facing straight up. i just got my first rdas the other day, and havent drilled out second holes, although i did enlarge the original holes. i have the hole facing straight up, (towards my right eyeball apparently) when i vape. that way, there is less chance for a leaky air hole/rda. if you have two air holes on yours, i would suggest just having them face to the right and to the left. which should be a given, because a downward facing air hole is just asking for extra leakage. btw, if any of this is wrong, or anything, anyone feel free to chime in and lead the way. like i say, im still new to rdas

I did that once, no fun. I was trying to figure out what was up with my tank so I looked down the mouthpiece and hit the button, and some juice blasted into my eye (duh).

I only have one good eye, (the other works but is borderline useless), so I got kinda freaked out. If I lose my good eye I may as well just shoot myself. I called my eye doctor and he told me to go to the ER, particularly as he didn't know if juice is acid or alkaline. I think alkalinity is bad for the eye, or maybe it's acidity, can't remember. Anyway, they did a test on my eye with some litmus paper and flushed my it with a liter of saline, nothing major. It was red and sore for a day or two, and my vision was kind of blurry, but it cleared up eventually. I was a few hundred bucks poorer but I think it was worth it in my case. Be careful.
